And if they don’t know, does that give them any excuse for the harm they’re unleashing? I get it Liberal partisans, you want a united Canada. I do as well. That cannot happen if the Prime Minister is making inter-generational blunders like expanding fossil fuels during a steepening climate emergency.
Trudeau spent his time building the unprofitable Kinder Morgan pipeline. It wasn’t in the National Interest then, or now. It helped transition Canada not to cleaner energy, but to a time with an insane American President that Congress won’t remove, and who can attack our country economically with a variety of vulnerabilities.
Here’s a segment from a recent Green Party of Canada email:
Do Liberal decision-makers really understand what “national interest” means?
It doesn’t seem that way, since they gave that designation to the West Coast — now dubbed Pacific Link — pipeline last week. This means they’re ready to ram it through approvals and environmental assessments using the Building Canada Act.
Here’s what Elizabeth has to say about the situation. The government is “committing Canadians to wasting another $40 billion plus of public dollars on an uneconomic, climate-killing pipeline,” she said.
When the last general election rolled around, Carney was best positioned to show Canada was united against American aggression. He probably still is, except he’s long exploited that. Not to ‘build Canada strong’, but to sell Canada out to fossil fuel executives while he rambles on about fictional “Decarbonized oil” and hyper-scale methane powered data centres, as if they’re not making him sound crazy in light of ecological reality.
Here’s how the Liberal’s last pipeline turned out:
Energy regulator hands oil giants discount worth billions to use Trans-Mountain pipeline
By Marc Fawcett-Atkinson October 5th 2026
I remember telling people that this pipeline would never be profitable. It’s a #StrandedAsset, it cannot be used to its normal End of Life, it will be abandoned early. Here’s something I wrote on the subject 8 years ago as National Post got it wrong, and National Observer got it right.
Here’s more National Observer about the new pipeline:
“[Oil companies] are getting a sweet deal,”said Eugene Kung, a lawyer with West Coast Environmental Law who represented the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation in the regulatory proceedings. The First Nation opposed the toll agreement, arguing it will encourage Trans Mountain to cut costs and increase the risk of an oil spill.
A Tseil-Waututh spokesperson said no one from the First Nation was “available to comment on these matters at this time.”
Kung added that he’s concerned the decision will set a precedent for tolls on the new Pacific Link pipeline, which was advanced to the Major Projects Office on Thursday. If built, its cost is estimated at between $35.2 billion and $43.7 billion and Trans Mountain would own 45 per cent of the project.
Trans Mountain did not respond to questions from Canada’s National Observer about its ability to maintain the pipeline and respond to spills with the new toll rate, more detailed financial estimates and whether the company will pursue a similar toll model for the Pacific Link pipeline, if approved.
Here’s an 8 year old video from the Green Party. It honestly could be aired again now and still be perfectly relevant, only the faces in the Liberal Party, and the name of this next pipeline have changed.
It’s been said that Mark Carney is Canada’s latest Progressive Conservative Prime Minister.
