PM Mark Carney is still waiting for Alberta to give him the go-ahead for his West Coast oil pipeline project, despite the fact that he's the only one with the power to green-light it. And he's not even close to getting it green-lit.

00:00:00 I am so tired of being consistently right about Prime Minister Mark Carney's fake pipeline.
00:00:07 He can sign as many meaningless MOUs as he wants and speak positively about building a pipeline,
00:00:13 but he's never actually going to do it. And I think the Alberta provincial government and the
00:00:18 oil and gas industry are finally catching on to what Carney's game is. Check out this headline
00:00:24 from Globe Politics. Kearney confirms West Coast oil pipeline still without private sector backing.
00:00:33 It's almost like the Kearney Liberals have done absolutely nothing to clear the regulatory decks
00:00:41 to make it possible to build a pipeline. It's almost like they've also simultaneously been
00:00:47 handing out vetoes to the BC provincial government and to First Nation groups like Therkandi. And
00:00:54 shockingly there's no private sector backing oh i wonder why it's almost like nothing's changed
00:01:01 since prime minister justin trudeau was around it's almost like saying nice things and then
00:01:07 trying to get alberta to commit to carbon capture and higher industrial carbon taxes actually makes
00:01:13 it less appealing to build a pipeline in fact carney may be worse at building pipelines than
00:01:19 Justin Trudeau was. Check out this clip where he answers a question about Alberta putting forward
00:01:25 a proposal where he already sounds like he's trying to downplay the possibility of it actually
00:01:31 working when he's the only one who has to say yes. Already submitted its pipeline proposal to you
00:01:37 and is it sufficient enough in your view to start the process of designating it a project of national
00:01:42 interest as well as reaching an agreement on pathways? Thank you. So a couple of things. One
00:01:47 is that i will be in alberta tomorrow tomorrow evening and looking forward to that and we've
00:01:54 been in close contact the premier and i this is what we call stalling he's trying to figure out
00:02:01 what his deflection of the lie is going to be in a few seconds here i always like to point out mark
00:02:07 carney's rhetorical tactics that he uses in order to try and be a slightly better liar he always
00:02:13 obviously tries to save himself time by just going on and prattling about nothing oh yes i'm going
00:02:19 to go to alberta and i like alberta i talk to daniel smith sometimes it's like okay well how
00:02:25 about you talk about what you think about the pipeline proposal on your desk our teams as well
00:02:31 uh it's uh as you in indicate in your question it's for alberta to submit uh a proposal uh on
00:02:39 or around july 1st uh that's uh that's tracking well from their perspective uh but then there's a
00:02:46 process that goes uh that takes a few months until october before a decision is made whether or not
00:02:52 to refer to uh the major projects office do you hear that so with alberta's pipeline proposal
00:02:59 carney can sit on it for another few months and even if he says yes it's not actually rubber
00:03:05 stamping the pipeline to be greenlit to start building in a few months he might green light it
00:03:12 to send it to the major projects office for them to also do their own regulatory inspection of the
00:03:19 project and then decide if it's actually going to be a project of national importance this is
00:03:25 a long-winded way of saying it's never going to be done and he's going to make that clear
00:03:30 in the next few seconds a variety of things that have to be followed through a variety of stakeholders
00:03:36 that have to be engaged and you reference rightly pathways in your in your question and
00:03:45 is always been linked all aspects of the implementation what is now an implementation
00:03:49 agreement are linked so pathways the reforms to the carbon market potential pipeline a series of
00:03:57 of other measures that are taken, including measures by the federal government? You see what
00:04:01 he did there? One, again, you should immediately have alarm bells going off in your head. And
00:04:05 as soon as we mentioned stakeholder engagement, when it comes to building a pipeline,
00:04:11 that means very, very, very long winded consultations with First Nation bands who are
00:04:19 mostly incentivized to say, no, there is one area where the pipeline's not going to get built.
00:04:25 Oh, and another one of the stakeholders is the B.C. government, which is a radically green left government who also doesn't like the pipeline.
00:04:33 And then he also starts talking about pathways and some of the other things they want to see on the carbon markets, which is effectively demanding that Alberta Premier Daniel Smith sign up for higher industrial carbon taxes.
00:04:47 I believe like a $20 billion carbon capture scheme, as well as a bunch of other nonsense.
00:04:55 And with all that, we get a potential pipeline.
00:04:58 Potential, shouldn't it be guaranteed if we do any of this stuff?
00:05:02 It's absolutely wild that you have to jump through this many hoops simply to have your
00:05:09 proposal get rubber stamped to then go to the major projects office to be reviewed again
00:05:15 by whatever jokers are currently managing that office who have not actually been able to fast
00:05:21 track any substantial project that wasn't already most of the way through or a tiny expansion to an
00:05:28 already existing project at some point alberta premier daniel smith just has to come out and
00:05:35 call him out for being just a complete weasel on this issue he's so clearly kicking the can
00:05:41 down the road further and further every time the alberta government makes a substantial move
00:05:47 towards actually trying to get something done every time they actually do something to try
00:05:51 and get the pipeline built carney immediately goes limp and he starts saying oh you need the
00:05:56 major projects office to get involved in this no you don't you can just approve it as the prime
00:06:00 minister no one else needs to be involved except the prime minister and he will not say yes which
00:06:08 means he's saying no no matter how much he pretends he is saying no check out this article
00:06:15 from energy now a more pro oil and gas news organization i've already read this article so
00:06:22 i just want to sum it up for you here but the the headline is canada's oil firms look to scrap
00:06:28 carbon tax tied to new pipeline now the reason why this is significant is that if you thought
00:06:34 and it's very clear from the details of the article. If you thought that putting up with
00:06:39 a higher industrial carbon tax would guarantee the pipeline gets constructed, maybe you'd go
00:06:45 along with it knowing that maybe seven, eight years down the line, if a conservative government
00:06:49 is in power, you can get rid of that carbon tax anyways. They're pushing back against increasing
00:06:55 the industrial carbon tax and they want it scrapped because they know it's complete nonsense
00:07:01 to impose a higher price on themselves for a potential pipeline,
00:07:05 because the potential pipeline is never going to happen.
00:07:09 In fact, even in the minor areas of some green reform,
00:07:13 of trying to get rid of a bunch of the anti-oil and gas green regulations in place,
00:07:21 Carney pulled back on it because he was getting too much pushback from members of his own caucus.
00:07:26 is. Remember, at least 14 liberal MPs signed a letter to Carney protesting about the pipeline
00:07:34 that he wants to build. That's the funny thing about all this. Carney is trying to walk a
00:07:40 rhetorical tightrope. That's stupid for him to be trying to do. He's trying to never get a pipeline 1.00
00:07:46 actually built to please the green left, as well as please the business liberal sort of center
00:07:53 by pretending he still wants to build one. But that just means both groups do not actually,
00:07:59 they are both dissatisfied. He's doing all these political maneuvers and somersaults,
00:08:03 and at the end of the day, it's probably just going to result in his political neck being
00:08:07 broken on this stunt. Anyways, now I want to jump over to this article from the Frazier Institute,
00:08:14 which sort of needles in on the fact that Carney hasn't done absolutely anything to fulfill the
00:08:20 federal liberal side of the MOU with Alberta. Check out this one. It's a commentary by Kenneth
00:08:27 Green here, and it says, Carney government already clawing back MOU promises made to Alberta.
00:08:33 Back in November 2025, the federal government in Alberta struck a memorandum of understanding to
00:08:40 help resolve the multifaceted and increasingly fractious impasse between the two governments
00:08:45 over Alberta's ability to expand oil production and reach export markets
00:08:49 being shipping from Canada's Pacific coast.
00:08:52 The two governments were starkly opposed.
00:08:55 On one hand, Alberta has long wanted to expand production and development of its oil sands
00:09:00 and gain export pipeline capacity to the West Coast with a lucrative market waiting in Asia.
00:09:05 On the other hand, Carney's government inherited and assumed prior commitment
00:09:10 to make Canada a net-zero greenhouse gas emitter by 2050.
00:09:14 Along with other commitments to environmental protections and aboriginal reconciliation, all issues critical to any hope of future Alberta-to-Pacific pipeline development.
00:09:26 I just want to go down here to show you the parts where they've now basically clawed back their promises.
00:09:32 In the MOU, the Smith government pledges were concrete and immediate, and to begin immediately.
00:09:38 The federal government's pledges were much less concrete, much more aspirational, and are a lot more contingent on diffused forces and good fortune.
00:09:49 And with the ink barely dry as the MOU enters implementation, the clawback on those diffuse promises is already starting.
00:09:59 As the CBC reports, after feedback from thousands, Carney government slows down sweeping environmental changes.
00:10:05 The subhead informs that consultations extended from June 7th to June 22nd, pushing them neatly past the current legislative session in Parliament that might have advanced the legislation.
00:10:18 This is, by the way, the same legislation the federal government is banking on to fast-track Alberta's potential pipeline.
00:10:25 In other words, its major part of the MOU threatened only months after negotiations and formal adoption.
00:10:32 So, yes, the federal liberals have absolutely no way of actually fulfilling their side of the MOU until maybe the fall, at which point they then have to wait longer to make the legislative changes that they've sort of half promised to make to build the potential pipeline.
00:10:52 It's not going to happen.
00:10:53 I'm not trying to be a doomer here, but the pipeline is clearly not happening.
00:10:59 Let's, again, go back to that headline from Globepolitics.
00:11:03 I don't actually need to show it on screen again.
00:11:05 But the fact that Carney's harping on the private backer, the private proponent,
00:11:12 is a very big tell that that is going to be his long-term excuse.
00:11:16 Oh, I signed an MOU with Alberta, and Alberta's supposed to propose the plan and go find the proponent,
00:11:23 and they just haven't done it yet.
00:11:25 It's like, well, because you're the problem.
00:11:27 This is like if a town wanted to bring in more business.
00:11:32 It's a city that wants to bring the tech sector into town.
00:11:35 They want to be a part of the growing tech industry.
00:11:38 And they promise businesses, if you come and you set up shop in our city and bring jobs here and make this your new headquarters, you'll get something.
00:11:49 And then they ask, well, what do we get?
00:11:52 And then you're like, well, you have to come and set up shop first, and then we'll tell you all the incentives we're going to offer, to which they would be correct in assuming you have absolutely nothing.
00:12:04 It's like saying, well, if you do everything I want, if you put billions of dollars into the Pathways Carbon Capture Project, increase the industrial carbon tax, and pass a bunch of other green regulations, they don't give you what's in this box over here.
00:12:20 You can't know what's in the box, but it's really cool.
00:12:23 You'll like what's in the box.
00:12:25 Can I have any indication of what's in the box?
00:12:27 What's the dollar value?
00:12:29 Oh, that's secret.
00:12:30 But you really want this box.
00:12:33 So can you guys start trashing your own oil and gas industry for the promise that there
00:12:38 might be a pipeline in this box?
00:12:39 This is effectively what's happening.
00:12:41 And this is why Daniel Smith has to pull out of this farce.
00:12:45 He's effectively getting her to implement green measures that she would have normally never agreed to on the vague, foggy promise that eventually we might approve something that will then go to the major projects office to be reviewed again, to be probably just completely killed by the B.C. government and First Nation groups.
00:13:06 But if we roll 100 on a 100-sided dice and we actually get through all those stages, maybe from five or six years from then, we will build the pipeline, although we still haven't gotten rid of Bill C-48 and Bill C-69, which makes it pretty impossible to build it.
00:13:23 But who cares? Just live on the fumes of hope, Daniel Smith. It's all going to be okay.
00:13:30 This thing needs to die. This is a stupid project that's never actually going to get finished. 1.00
00:13:36 The Alberta government should pull out, the oil and gas companies should pull out, because continuing to go down this trail is simply artificially boosting Mark Carney's approval ratings based on vapor, based on nothingness, based on the promise he might build something. 0.99
00:13:52 Danielle Smith has to say, I've been so willing to work with them.
00:13:57 And every time we make a proposal, every time we try and propose something that will actually make it far more likely to build the pipeline,
00:14:04 the liberals act dumb and they say, oh, there's no private proponent.
00:14:07 Why should I get the regulations out of the way if there's no private proponent? 0.98
00:14:11 It's almost like no private proponent is going to show up if there's no ability to actually do anything with it. 0.98
00:14:16 It's so dumb.
00:14:17 It's like kind of a, you need, it takes two to actually get this done, but Mark Carney's pretending like Alberta is going to implement everything, propose the route, get the proponent, and then the federal government will start the slow process of actually fixing up the regulations for this project. 0.97
00:14:34 Remember, you know that crazy project called the Alto high-speed rail line?
00:14:40 We've spent over $260 million taxpayer dollars at the Alto Crown Corporation just studying the stupid high-speed rail project that nobody actually wants. 0.94
00:14:52 It will serve a very small portion of the population. 0.94
00:14:55 The approval ratings on it are abysmally low for it being so early into the project's life.
00:15:02 And that has multiple routes.
00:15:05 They don't know which one they're going to take,
00:15:06 says nobody wants the thing.
00:15:08 And we've already attached
00:15:09 an up to more than $90 billion price tag to that project.
00:15:14 A pipeline's not even gonna cost anything close to that.
00:15:18 And yet we require private sector proponents
00:15:20 for the pipeline, 0.99
00:15:22 but the stupid Alto train can just kind of drift around 1.00
00:15:25 spending hundreds of millions of dollars, 1.00
00:15:28 never actually getting to the starting point
00:15:30 of even building the train,
00:15:31 just studying roots, just looking at what they're going to do and consulting with stakeholders and
00:15:39 whatnot. Alberta Pipeline, you have to show up day one with everything already neatly packaged
00:15:45 together on Mark Carney's desk, including billions of dollars of promised investment capital,
00:15:50 and then he might think about building that potential pipeline. He might think
00:15:53 about deregulating after, of course, he lets David Eby shoot the project in the head.
00:15:57 anyways so with all that being said thank you guys for watching make sure to like the video
