“Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday morning explicitly stated the Liberals will not repeal their controversial Bill C-69, legislation that prevents new pipelines being built.
Carney has been campaigning on boosting the economy and the “need to act forcefully” against President Donald Trump and his tariffs by harvesting Canada’s wealth of natural resources — until it all fell flat around him when he admitted he actually had no intention to build pipelines at all.
The prime minister during the Liberal leadership race in March even claimed he believes Canada should have pipelines running from east to west, even through Quebec, a province that rejects the proposed pipelines being built.
When a reporter asked Carney how he plans to maintain Bill C-69 while simultaneously building infrastructure in Canada, Carney replied, “we do not plan to repeal Bill C-69.”
“What we have said, formally at a First Ministers meeting, is that we will move for projects of national interest, to remove duplication in terms of environmental assessments and other approvals, and we will follow the principle of ‘one project, one approval,’ to move forward from that.”
“What’s essential is to work at this time of crisis, to come together as a nation, all levels of government, to focus on those projects that are going to make material differences to our country, to Canadian workers, to our future.”
“The federal government is looking to lead with that, by saying we will accept provincial environmental assessments, for example clean energy projects or conventional energy projects, there’s many others that could be there.”
“We will always ensure these projects move forward in partnership with First Nations.”
I didn’t really think Trump would follow through with the tariffs, he was just enjoying watching Canada set it’s hair on fire and lift elbows like the bunch of lame ducks they are.

Today was an important win for Canada and Alberta, as it appears the United States has decided to uphold the majority of the free trade agreement (CUSMA) between our two nations. It also appears this will continue to be the case until after the Canadian Federal election has concluded and the newly elected Canadian government is able to renegotiate CUSMA with the U.S. Administration.
This is precisely what I have been advocating for from the U.S. Administration for months.
It means that the majority of goods sold into the United States from Canada will have no tariffs applied to them, including 0% tariffs on energy, minerals, agricultural products, uranium, seafood, potash and host of other Canadian goods.
There is still work to be done of course. Unfortunately, tariffs ...

…”with Canada avoiding new tariffs on Wednesday,
it takes some of the wind;
out of Mark Carney’s sails.
It may force the Liberals to talk about other issues.
Which is the last thing they want to do, because on other issue, the Liberal record will have voters looking at Poilievre and the Conservatives.”
Comments from an American friend.
The right takes Trump seriously but not literally.
The left takes Trump literally but not seriously.
It seems to fit the Canadian dialog. The right sees Trump's comment (51st state) as being figurative and very serious while the left takes Trump's comment as being literal but not seriously enough to invoke any change.
