Will an oil pipeline actually be built under Liberal PM Mark Carney?
It's been hailed as a breakthrough, but the real question is whether Ottawa can be trusted to follow through.

Tonight on The Ezra Levant Show, Alberta’s political class is celebrating the province’s new memorandum of understanding with Ottawa, casting it as the long-awaited opening to finally move a million barrels a day to the West Coast. But for anyone who’s watched this movie before, caution feels more sensible than champagne.
The deal hinges on private investment, and so far, no private partner exists. That’s hardly surprising in a country where carbon taxes climb, regulations multiply and companies increasingly choose the United States or even less stable jurisdictions over Canada. Just look at Nutrien: instead of exporting through B.C., it’s building a port in Washington State. That says everything.
The biggest sticking point remains trust. Alberta is being asked to hike industrial carbon taxes by April 2026 in exchange for a pipeline that might not materialize until 2040. That’s a massive upfront concession to a federal government led by Mark Carney, a man who spent more than a decade pushing global “net-zero” financial pressure on oil and gas. Has he truly changed his tune?
There’s no question Premier Danielle Smith has secured more than her predecessor ever could. But this is only a promise of a promise. For Alberta’s sake, healthy skepticism isn’t cynicism — it’s survival.

Gary Schoutsen commented 2025-11-28 10:07:18 -0500Maybe Alberta needs to negotiate with the US to ship oil and gas out of Washington just as Nutrien is planning on doing.

Gary Schoutsen commented 2025-11-28 10:03:56 -0500I don’t have too much of a problem with Carney getting richer as long as he would do what is good for Canada. I doubt he’ll do the right thing.

Anthony Salotti commented 2025-11-28 09:14:07 -0500Carney’s full of it . It will never be built under his dictatorship .

Ruth Bard commented 2025-11-27 21:59:55 -0500I’m thinking if Carney’s promises turn out to be fluff, Alberta could partner with Nutrien to build their port in Washington, and route the pipeline there. And leave Premier Booby to stew in his own juice.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-11-27 21:46:47 -0500I doubt Marx Carnage will cooperate with Danielle Smith. He’ll find some sneaky way to screw Alberta while pocketing millions for himself and his friends.
I also owe Pauline Hanson an apology. Now that Avi explained what she did, I understand why she did it. So I guess some stunts are worth pulling. -
Darlene Cooper commented 2025-11-27 21:26:03 -0500Isn’t Carney invested in Pathways?
