"Canada actually had a grand bargain back in 2015: 'you build this #TMX Pipeline & we'll be okay with a #CarbonPrice AND an #EmissionsCap.' Well so much for all that, right? We shouldn't trust these grand bargains for #Pipelines & I very much doubt the #IndustrialCarbonTax is going to fill the gap."

"There's a championing of #CarbonCapture, #NaturalGas aka #FossilGas, some nuclear stuff, industrial carbon tax but out is #AntiGreenwashing, #EmissionsCap & of course #CarbonTax was already axed. In fact, It looks like Canada can't even really get trees planted anymore."

" #MarkCarney 's federal budget & #AlbertaMOU dismantled much of the country's existing climate policy framework, gutted the #AntiGreenWashing bill, shelved the #OilAndGas #EmissionsCap & shifted public funds towards climate losers like #LNG or #FossilGas & the great #CarbonCapture boondoggle." #yyc

2/7 The shift follows a controversial deal with #Alberta.

#Carney has agreed to suspend the federal oil & gas #EmissionsCap and #CleanElectricity regulations—key pillars of the Trudeau era—to pave the way for a potential #Pipeline and new #Energy investments.

The Pipeline MOU is a story about clueless advice & the profits of shareholders in the United States. As is a lot of history come to think of it. Nothing much changes.

Abandoning the #EmissionsCap on Canada's worst corporate polluters is betrayal of the trust Canadians had put in the federal government to act on emissions and of those who travelled to Ottawa to call for a cap.

2/8 #Carney might be "content with the impression that it's also not the budget #Trudeau would have tabled."

It "tosses aside" the Trudeau-era #luxury #tax on #yachts & #planes,
cuts the 2B #tree promise to 1B, and hints the oil & gas #EmissionsCap "will be abandoned."

#Budget2025 #CdnPoli

11/14 If the federal "cap" were implemented, both #oilsands production and oilsands #GHG #emissions would rise to new records.

Production would grow by 700,000 barrels/day.

Emissions would be propelled to 92.4 million tonnes by 2030—four per cent higher than the 2023 record.

Carney tells business crowd a new pipeline project is ‘going to happen’ Prime Minister Mark Carney came close to telling a Bay Street audience today that he will secure a new pipeline for Alberta, offering his strongest endorsement yet of the idea.

This plus the federal budget released yesterday & it's official:

For a Climate leader #MarkCarney sure is one hell of a banker.

#Smith and industry leaders have been adamant that no new #pipeline project is viable as long as the federal #EmissionsCap and the B.C. #TankerBan remain in place.

Carney's new flexibility on the cap appears to be a direct signal that he is serious about making a deal with #Alberta.

🇨🇦 CARNEY'S SHIFT ON MAINTAINING OIL & GAS EMISSIONS CAP 🇨🇦

Prime Minister Mark #Carney says the fate of the federal #EmissionsCap now "depends" on other efforts to lower emissions, suggesting his government is open to scrapping the policy.

#CdnPoli #Climate #Oil&Gas

I was in #Ottawa as Canadian #climate survivors called for an #EmissionsCap. @mark-carney.bsky.social has a choice: listen to wildfire survivors, or to oil corporations trying to divide us with phantom pipelines that make no economic sense regardless of deregulation www.hilltimes.com/story/2024/1...

'It depends': Carney shifts stance on maintaining emissions cap - Loonie Politics OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says the fate of the emissions cap on oil and gas producers depends on other efforts to lower emissions. Carney’s comment, coming in response to a question from a reporter at an event in Ottawa today, appears to be a shift from his stance before the election, when he […]

#cdnpoli ‘It depends’: Carney shifts stance on maintaining #emissionscap.

Alberta Premier in Ottawa to push for federal partnership on energy projects OTTAWA — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is in Ottawa this week, following up on her now week-old pledge to help fund the development of a proposal for a new oil pipeline to Canada's West Coast.

Alberta's Premier Smith is lobbying hard for Ottawa to repeal several environmental policies from the previous government, including a ban on oil tankers off the B.C. coast and a cap on emissions from oil and gas production. #tankermoratorium #emissionscap ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/alberta...

I talked about increasing LNG exports to displace coal, helping allies with secure, reliable energy & leveraging world-leading emissions reductions. I called out the contradiction between PM’s push for LNG expansion & the emissions cap.

4/7 Premier #DanielleSmith has fiercely opposed the policy, calling it one of the "big problems" facing her province.

"You won't have proponents willing to step up and pledge barrels to a new #pipeline if you have an #emissionscap that makes them shut it in the ground," she argued.

Ottawa ties stalled carbon-capture project to new pipeline Pathways Alliance carbon-capture initiative aims to reduce emissions by 22 megatonnes a year

No! This is fiscal and environmental insanity.
Not a DIME of public money for carbon capture or a pipeline. if Big Oil wants either, they can dip into their obscene profits (windfall profits tax anyone?) & pay for it themselves. #EnergyTransition #EmissionsCap

12/14 The oil and gas sector produces 30% of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions. Previous Liberal policies included emissions caps, reduced subsidies, strengthened climate targets, but also carbon capture funding.

It's time to act: implement the #EmissionsCap & ensure that Big Polluters pay.

Canada Needs an Oil & Gas Emissions Cap 🛢️✅

Every sector is cutting emissions—except oil and gas. It’s time for a strong cap to hold polluters accountable.

Carney says he'll work with oil and gas industry, says he opposes 'preset caps' | CBC News Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says that in her first meeting with the new prime minister on Thursday she gave him an earful on everything from wildfires to oil sales.

Looks like Mark Carney may be willing to cave in to the fossil fuel industry. If he's elected as PM and does follow through on removing emissions caps it'll be elbows up time to take him on #MarkCarney #emissionscap #fossilfuels
