If you expect Mark Carney won't take pipeline blame whether it's built or not, I have bad news for you: opposition parties aren't going to be charitable in their framing and voters aren't always charitable, or consistent, themselves. Carney will be seen as Captain Pipeline.

The NDP leadership candidates aren't particularly inspiring. But, the NDP might be poised for a big comeback anyway. In spite of whomever becomes leader. Many many progressive voters who voted for the Carney Liberals in April aren't likely to do so again.

Note that he's sitting in a chair for this presser He looks -and sounds- frail And he's completely incapable of filtering himself at all anymore

CBC reports that coastal First Nations are rejecting the new Alberta–Ottawa pipeline deal, citing no consent, spill risks and threats to their way of life. Alberta support doesn’t replace real consultation. Is investing in another pipeline really wise? r.pebmac.ca/https://www....

The ripple effect of Danielle Smith spooking political novice Mark Carney.

Carney has lost the progressives who elected him.

Her husband is a Carney advisor.

B.C.'s coastline is a national treasure. Enjoyed, appreciated by Canadians and people from around the world. Protecting it is a National Priority.

I like it. Yup, the precedent now has been set.

The pipeline stuff will get the most attention, but the bottom line of the Ottawa-Alberta MOU policy-wise is that Carney is scrapping or softening most Trudeau-era climate-related regulations in favour of putting (almost) all his eggs in the industrial carbon pricing basket.

Sediments from the bottom of a small lake in Ontario are revealing a remarkable record of our impact on the planet. Just outside Toronto lies a significant site offering a unique, comprehensive 1,000-year record of human impacts - local, regional, and global: Crawford Lake near Milton, Ontario.

Re: pipeline MOU between Alberta and Ottawa, B.C. Energy Minister Adrian Dix said yesterday having places like Alta and Sask discussing this without B.C. sort of like if David Eby, Wab Kinew and Doug Fort started making decisions about Alberta without Smith, and it likely wouldn’t go over well.

This scenario may well come to pass. Certainly far more likely than the Northern Gateway pipeline getting built. Tomorrow's "accord" could spark more discord than the unity Carney hopes.

This is a terrific, informed analysis by Charlie Angus. The puzzle of how "the smartest guy in the room" could do something so seemingly....dumb.

It would have been nice if someone asked Doug Ford to explain how he plans to order these charity audits given charities are overseen federally by Canada Revenue Agency

It really has been interesting the last while to see Doug Ford's outbursts. The true Ford. From "get a job" to "audit orgs that might support left wing causes". The authoritarian belligerent bully that had no staff to muzzle him in City Hall days is still there. Does Ontario see? Do they care?

There is a sense here of "why are they even doing this?"

Would be more believable if BC weren't so mad about it. globalnews.ca/news/1154194...

This is a good analysis. What Carney, Sabia + Hodgson are doing-with little apparent input from others-is saying Alberfa matters, B.C. + indigenous peoples are afterthought. Yes, Liberals will lose much much support in B.C. with not much pickup in Alberta.

Yup. It is like we're trapped.

The police don't seem to be in much hurry to investigate the corruptions in Doug Ford's Ontario do they? I wonder why?

He just got elected for the third time. With a 4th likely in the bag with the opposition in disarray. Awful. But true.

Except only 42-44 % votes. So he keeps getting in. His only real opposition the Liberals are in disarray. Again. Ford can do what he wants. And, he is. It is ugly, despotic, short sighted, disastrous. But Ontarians only have themselves to blame. Ford been allowed to game the system.

Essentially, yes it is. Dictator Doug.

Anything Ford does is on Ontario electorate, they keep giving him majority,

1/8 🇨🇦 DOUG FORD'S "BUY ONTARIO" ACT: FROM CAPTAIN CANADA TO "SELLING OUT CANADA" 🇨🇦 Ontario's new procurement law marks a radical shift. The message? "Buy Ontario" first, Canada second. Martin Regg Cohn argues it's a move straight from the #MAGA playbook. #OnPoli #CdnPoli #Trade #Politics

The language in the bill about these corporations is vague, said @policyalternatives.ca senior researcher @simonenoch.bsky.social: “A ‘public corporation’ also just means a corporation that’s publicly-traded, which is privately-owned." #onpoli pressprogress.ca/ontario-clai...

A host of Walkertons coming to Ontario soon

Yup. It does suck.

Elected three times. Twice by near record or record low turnouts. Ford is out of control. The Ontario electorate is apathetic. Dark times for democracy in Ontario.

Ford started his premiership in 2018-19 by literally ripping wind terminals from the ground and cancelling thousands of solar power contracts. Ignorant, shortsighted. Ontarians are paying for it.

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

I've had both Pfizer + Moderna boosters without issue. They are both fine.

Stunning reveal in "Captain Canada"Doug Ford's Ontario: hundreds of thousands of big 95 "*gallon* plastic, wheeled recycling bins are being delivered to homes across the province. They are made in Erie, Pennsylvania. NOT in Canada!!

Article from North Bay, a small city in Ontario, about e-bikes being a game-changer for the physical health and social life of seniors, after a trip to Belgium and the Netherlands.

Trump threatened a 10% Canadian tariff hike after a trade row over an Ontario ad. Four weeks later, the crickets. Officials suggest Washington simply dangled massive levy as leverage. Unexecuted threat exemplifies political theater now driving high-stakes US-Canada trade negotiations.

Yes. Disturbing also is how well they still poll.

Brilliant.

My interpretation is people still strongly care about the environment + climate change. They just have more immediate concerns.

The rise and rapid fall of VICE was stunning. Horrible, deluded leadership. They hired some good journalists. Who suddenly, unexpectedly found their careers in ruin.

Alcohol being excluded from the trade deal is a farce. Shame on Ontario and Quebec.

So, to recap, Ukraine and Europe understand that America has effectively endorsed a 28-point plan to force Kyiv to capitulate, set a Thursday deadline to accept it, and threatened to cut off all aid. Now Marco Rubio says it's all wrong, that's not the plan, there's no deadline and no threat.

A 2021 study in Ontario found that, of those people who were employed when they died of an overdose, 1/3 worked in the trades. And in BC, it's half.

Why not work together to create an even better jet? thelogic.co/news/exclusi...

Nice job by Elizabeth May.
