When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends.
This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

Watching the news this morning I realize that the country to my south is:
-cowardly, hiding behind guns
-morally bankrupt but wearing a cross
-cruel and sadistic, offering handshakes and smiling
-criminal, pretending to have a constitution
Some are fighting back but not enough 🍁🙁

Some people say Carney okayed the new pipeline because he thinks Danielle Smith will never get the financial backing she needs to build it but I think Carney's overlooking the fact Danielle can simply apply for a Ontario Skills Development Funds grant to pay for the pipeline.

No support for renewable projects?
Like the new North Coast Transmission Line.
Iqaluit Nukkiksautiit Hydro Project.
Clean grid connections in the MOU.
Support for the East Coast wind farms.
Support for Wind West.
Support for grid storage.
He has clearly supported more clean projects than dirty ones.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.
