Late last week, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith revealed a fresh energy agreement facilitating a new pipeline to the West Coast. This pact involves an industrial carbon pricing arrangement and is dependent on the approval of the Pathways project, which encompasses a proposed carbon capture, utilization, and storage facility.
Environmentalists criticized the agreement, alleging that the Liberals are compromising the climate objectives they diligently implemented over nearly a decade. Climate journalist Arno Kopecky, a contributor to publications such as The Narwhal and Canada’s National Observer, examines whether Mark Carney is undermining his environmental principles and eroding the Liberal groundwork established over the past decade.
