“First off, I’ve said repeatedly: yes. First point,” Carney said in an exclusive interview with CTV News’ Chief Political Correspondent Vassy Kapelos.
Prime Minister Mark “His Majesty” Carney went further on Tuesday, explicitly saying he supports building a pipeline if the consensus exists for one.
If there is consensus? Oy veh! Yep, there it is, their excuse for NO MORE PIPELINES – As long as there is consensus! Yeah, consensus of whom – anti-oil activists?! Consensus of the Hereditary Chiefs over the objections of the elected Chiefs and band councils along the pipeline route?!! That would be the same elected chiefs who want the jobs and economic prosperity that would come with a strong energy sector, for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. Yep, no more pipelines as long as Carney and his band of trained seals are in charge!!!!
There is also the notation of “in the national interest,” which is another weasel clause. I suspect it wouldn’t take much for “His Majesty” to declare something is NOT in the national interest, like over-ruling objections from Quebec, for example.
By the way, is it in the national interest that Quebec keeps getting transfer payments, if they don’t want pipelines passing through the province? Asking for a friend.
We should always do what we can to minimize the negative impacts on our environment, but the usual groups who will oppose any projects related to our energy sector will not compromise in any meaningful way. It’s their way, or nothing. The only option for them is keep the oil and natural gas in the ground. Period! Debate over, as far as they are concerned.
By the way, the negative environmental aspects would have to apply to the mining of critical minerals for production of batteries for “green” electric vehicles, the same ones this activist government is still determined to ram down our throats, despite an obvious lack of interest from the automobile buying public. It doesn’t matter that there is no exhaust coming out of a tailpipe on an E/V car, when you consider the environmental impact and carbon intensity of manufacturing the lithium batteries used to power E/Vs. You can argue that we are trading one negative environmental effect for another.
That’s the pretzel logic of the “green” movement.
