After reading this analysis I was left shaking my head. BS, bafflegab, enough vagueness and loopholes to keep an army of $250K consultants, policy ADMs and media sages in clover until they retire.
It’s very simple really. There is an old story about the kind woman who saw a frozen snake near death by her door. She felt sorry for it, brought it in, put it to her bosom and revived it. Whereupon the snake bit her. As she fell dying she cried out: “why?” And the snake replied: You moron, you knew I was a snake when you took me in…”
When you deal with Federal Liberal and Quebec French and commie snakes who have been successfully poisoning the country for at least two generations, it’s not a question of if but when you will get bitten.
Yes that’s quite possible. If you’re a snake it’s even better when you can get someone to do it to themselves. I’ll have to look up the definition of “gaslighting” again.
A few months ago, Canadians were told we faced an existential crisis, that our sovereignty was threatened, and that the most successful Nation in history wanted to “annex” Canada.
Meetings were convened, elbows were thrust in all directions, bottles of liquor poured, countervailing tariffs loudly applied, and unceremoniously removed .
We were going to think and act differently. We were to become our own best customer. We were told we could give ourselves more than that which the Americans could take away. We were going to divert our trade to other nations and trading blocks, as if decades of international trade were a USB port.
What have those most earnest months of frothing produced?
Complete and utter surrender.
Surrender to a maddening climate cult, a dithering Prime Minister with the weakest of mandates, a woke, progressive phalanx-like mob of absolutists, and a pathetically neutered eunuch of a politician on the most Western of coasts.
Congratulations, Canada; you again grasped mediocrity from the savage jaws of greatness.
Mediocrity would be too high a goal to reasonably achieve. Nothing I've seen or heard or read so far even begins to slow the decline into irrelevancy of a failed national state. And political opposition to this national decline and a path to reversing it on every front is entirely absent from the national discourse. So we're left arguing amongst ourselves about the rate of descent (hey, there are only 31 federal judge vacancies these days 'down' from the high of 92!) and who should lead it. The most important and interesting question these days I think is guessing which Prime Minister will be Canada's last.
Y'know, the conjoined triplets of governments, NGO's and industries have continued to peddle the zowie idea of technologically-based carbon capture for close to a half century now, spending an (likely under) estimated US$30 billion of public money in the process, including in excess of CA$5 billion dollars in Canada, CA$1.2 billion (at least) of which came from Alberta taxpayers.
To the best of my knowledge, that money has been largely wasted as our emissions have continued to rise. We are now pledging to ramp up our public spending (and tax incentives) beyond all comprehension for more of the same massively expensive shell game through Pathways. Great. That'll solve it!
Y'know what is actually really, really effective at storing carbon, beyond even a shadow of doubt?
Grassland ecosystems containing 25% of known world species, that we continue to abuse and plow under for often dubious 'agricultural improvements' worldwide.
Forest ecosystems containing 50% of known world species, that we continue to 'manage' as if they were perennial forage crops at best, and 'in the way' of annual cropping at worst.
Freshwater ecosystems containing 3% of water on earth and 10% of its known species, that we continue to waste & pollute.
Ocean ecosystems containing 97% of water on earth and 15% of its known species, that we continue to degrade and plunder.
Perhaps, instead of chasing technological fantasy solutions to 'solve' the so-called 'climate crisis', we should simply commit ourselves to taking much, much better care of these critical components of our planet?
Don't get me wrong, I grew up in agriculture, and I know plenty of families who've made their living from farming, fishing, forestry and finding minerals, oil, and gas underground.
I get the basics of economics, but would point out that most of the time, we are hyper-focused on short-term economics and functionally ignore long-term economics.
I understand the practicalities of life, and what is required to sustain it. I also understand that we are chewing up the aforementioned ecosystems and spitting them out to satiate our material desires (wants, not needs) at an alarming pace. Like I said, short-term economics.
I also know the Western World has been chasing our tail on global warming-climate change for my entire working career, and I can tell you succinctly what we have to show for it.
A hell of a lot less than net zero - and I'm not referring to greenhouse gases.
A handful of connected, sheltered, and functionally amoral people worldwide in the three-headed monsters of governments, NGO's, and industry are increasingly capturing the world's wealth to enrich themselves to a degree that is beyond parody and the pale as they go about their 'business' of saving the planet chasing the nonsensical concept of 'net zero' through ever-shifting and layered regulation and tax policy.
Meanwhile, everyone out of this loop is increasingly impoverished economically, socially, and spiritually, feeling like we are teetering right on the edge of societal collapse as our corrupt institutions enact endless layers of nonsensical legislation with no intention that they will ever be enforced, while ignoring and flouting more basic and fundamental laws of mankind and nature.
Smith didn't get played. She knows perfectly well that there will never be a pipeline under the Liberals. She is a loyal Canadian, and is doing her level best to avoid Alberta secession - in this case by trying to pacify Alberta separatists with bafflegab.
I really like Danielle Smith; she impresses me as one who possesses the uncommon Canadian political traits of courage, fortitude, and forward thinking.
I will let this play out a bit before passing judgement, but I think she gave away too much, and got too little in return.
I like her too, and having briefly met her, I also believe her to be intelligent and caring.
However, I think she lacks bloody-mindedness and a killer instinct. Both are necessary for leading a country to independence or for negotiating successfully with the Liberals.
It is being called an MOU: I prefer to think of it as a shakedown. " You May get your pipeline but you have to agree to spend $15 billion on a carbon capture program that generates zero economic value." Might as well just build a refinery and tell Carney to get stuffed.
But is the goal to marginalize separatists, or to safely, successfully, and sustainably exploit our natural resources for the benefit of all Canadians?
Agree. Ms. Smith is an astute politician and just needs to keep the separatists in the tent long enough to win the next election. The provincial NDP can not sever ties with its federal counterpart and will pay the price for the support for Trudeau Minor.
The inexorable movement to the dissolution of Confederation continues.
Perhaps the reason Confederation is so tenuous, is because the constitutional underpinnings of this grand experiment called Canada, are irreparably damaged.
Is the goal to marginalize the separatists, or to safely, successfully, and sustainably exploit our natural resources for the benefit of all Canadians?
The former is Ms. Smith's goal, the latter was once a laudable goal. All I want is for my children to remain in Alberta and be still be successful. Don't believe that is possible within Confederation.
The goal as always is better communication to fool all the people all of the time, silly. Who cares that carbon capture is not economically feasible without hundreds of millions in subsidies, nor carbon neutral in the capture! But it SOUNDS so good. Very environ-mental. Throw in the trivial issue of various Indian tribes - elected and non elected leaders even from the same tribe each having a 'final' say - assuming (apparently with the permission of many courts and just about every politician coast to coast to coast) that they have full veto power (in various forms) over any and all lands within the borders of Canada, and you can take a reasonable guess about what a MOU actually represents. It sure as hell isn't resource extraction. Or wealth creation. Or jobs. It's all in the 'communicationing'. Elbows up means lips moving. That's it. And so the real goodly communicationing the MOU defines is the full sum of the 'goal' being sought here. Oh yippy.
Only because reality informs deep cynicism of the Canada that was to the Canada that is and finding absolutely nothing to alter the same trajectory. It's not jaded to respect that compelling evidence from reality; it would be chiroptera merdea stultus to believe otherwise.
TMX was already approved and underway when the backers withdrew. A failure would have been a humiliation to Trudeau and a casus belli for Alberta. This hypothetical new pipeline is far more tenuous and will remain so. Once Democrats return to power in the US, the threat of secession will be greatly diminished - and the MoU will have served its purpose.
To some extent, we can't know today, as the imaginary pipeline is in the future. I have a $100 bet with a buddy that there will be no shovels in the ground during the 4 years from the election. How much have you bet on this issue?
We'll need every penny for the next several decades to pay that bill. Interesting that there is no mention of the fact that it was JT's anti-development policies that forced his hand.
No it wasn't. It was the BC government's opposition that forced their hand. Glad Horgan could cash in with Teck/Elk Valley before he kicked off, though. What a fucking hypocrite: https://thenarwhal.ca/bc-john-horgan-teck-coal/
I think Smith's only loyalty is to herself. You may be right about her plan to pacify the separatists. I hope so but she seems to be giving them way too much oxygen. Maybe that's a plan to let them trip over their own shoelaces publicly or maybe it's just a way for her to get re-elected. It will all become clear soon enough.
If she were loyal only to herself, why not call for secession and become a Prime Minister? Secession is polling in the 30s while universally opposed by the political class. She could easily tip the balance.
Because she is not stupid and she knows that secession is a ridiculous idea. She's a fan and a victim of the online blogosphere (remember chemtrails?) and buys into the MAGA scam. She's log rolling furiously through this and likely hopes for very cushy landing courtesy of American oil and health insurance honchos.
And, frankly, the idea that a politician can simply choose to smother a large group of voters (possibly a majority of her own party) seems very Central Canadian.
I hope all those who vilify Trudeau and Notley take note that Alberta and Canada could be many years ahead with the objectives of the MOU if not for all the UCP posturing to block collaboration with the federal government since 2019 and until it was on their terms. What a waste of precious time in the interests of ideology!
These various carbon reduction and pricing schemes are so complex and prone to spin that it's almost impossible to tell who's telling the truth. Please keep quality analysis like this coming.
Who's to say Smith and her team didn't want to be fooled? Smith seems to have been trying to surf the populist right wave in Alberta, knowing that she could easily wipe out like Jason Kenney if she's not careful. The problem is that she's been getting swept along with the current towards some pretty dangerous shoals like separatism. That's not really where she wants to go, and she knows that getting there results in a pretty high probability of the political equivalent of grievous injury or drowning. So, after making a lot of noise about confrontation and getting a better deal for Alberta, she and her team are probably hoping that making a deal with Carney gets them out of the rip without spilling.
Getting booed at the convention on Friday had to have been a wake up call that the Alberta separatism agenda is getting out of hand; the rest of her agenda isn't too popular either, but she can probably win an election with that platform if she's not tied to the toxic extremism of separatism. Claiming that Alberta's gotten a win is probably the best way to stop anti-Ottawa voters from inflating the apparent support of the separatists.
All Canadians were played save one point: The parties agreed to agree, that Canada and Alberta would "design globally competitive, long term carbon effective prices". The fact is, this is impossible. Why would any company invest money in this country with this tax? On the bright side, an MOU is an agreement to agree, and thus no agreement at all. We need an election, NOW.
Would the Trudeau deal have unlocked additional egress and the production to fill it? This deal might. Plus the circular finance might expand to lessen the impact of the industrial carbon tax. You already mentioned that the revenue will be used to partially fund Pathways. It could also be used as an electricity credit.
So Ken I appreciate the analysis, however, given the noted tenuous nature of a fuzzy deal, in your opinion does this provide a reasonable path to encourage a $40 Billion pipeline and $150 of new exploration/production infrastructure?
TMX ain't full.
Certainly with WCS trading at $48 bbl CAD I have a hard time seeing the economic case in the next 15-20 years, especially with Venezuela and the Saudi's wanting to sell more oil?
After reading this thorough analysis I was left shaking my head. BS, bafflegab, enough vagueness and loopholes to keep an army of $250K consultants, policy ADMs and media sages in clover until they retire.
It’s very simple really. There is an old story about the kind woman who saw a frozen snake near death by her door. She felt sorry for it, brought it in, put it to her bosom and revived it. Whereupon the snake bit her. As she fell dying she cried out: “why?” And the snake replied: You moron, you knew I was a snake when you took me in…”
When you deal with Federal Liberal and Quebec French and commie snakes who have been successfully poisoning the country for at least two generations, it’s not a question of if but when you will get bitten.
I’m sure Premier Smith thought she was bringing in Confederation from the cold. But reading about Louis Riel could teach her about knowing who’s on your side and who isn’t.
I’d don’t see the abandonment of the emissions as contingent on anything. Words see pretty clear to me. Unlike the CER, the feds have agreed to drop the cap in exchange for the MOU only

Astute analysis!
Tragedy of the commons. Irrevocable, enforceable private property fixes most of these problems.
One tends to take good care of a resource, when future livelihood depends on it.

And Trudeau could have easily walked away. Easily. Any other take is laughable.

If i hear one more JT apologist bring up the 4-times overpriced TMX as some kind of a win for AB......
Yeah. Sucks to be selling more of our oil at global prices!

Precisely.
Folks who claim to dislike Premier Smith seem to hoe the same row as the ones who dislike Pierre Poilievre: I hate him because I hate him.

Good luck with that. Carney just bought himself a year.

Looking forward to how he manages the resurgent PQ. That referendum is Canalot's Waterloo.
