“four companies that dominate oilsands production — Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus, Imperial Oil and Suncor — are close to three-quarters foreign-owned…these companies account for more than 80 per cent of oilsands production.”

1. #Pipelines are impossible to protect from #drones. They're very long hey?
2. #Brent and #WestTexas futures are over us$100/barrel. Get used to that.

What is not proposed by PM Carney:
- Not to become a third power just with better manners
- Do not seek power to dominate others
- Resilience so no one can control our sovereign markets, our freedoms, democracy, or rule of law
But to create the next stable, just, and fair world order and reinforce international law.
-
What Canada proposes:
strategic autonomy in:- Critical Minerals
- Defence
- AI/Compute
Space
Work, study, and live on either side of the Atlantic 🎉
Pool resources, cooperate on frontier technologies and research/universities
Stockpile materials for EVs, chips, and other critical things for the energy transition
Advanced processing on both sides of the Atlantic.
LNG/Hydrogen supplied to Europe
Leadership from Europe on clean energy to Canada
Pool sovereign compute and broadband capacity, AI safety protocols, etc
Explore integrated market for financial services (?!?!) while maintaining financial resilience
Holy. Crap.

Trump doing an executive order denying Canadian products from US Federal procurement is actually hilarious - his fleet of cars need Canadian made parts, the F-35 program needs us, the US Navy as well - this is getting funny

So I guess we've gone from making flirty eyes at each other on Hans Ø to being in a complicated situation.

@dyckron It will be interesting to see what would count as "unjustified". He also seems to make no mention of how much the workers might be squeezed. Will there be guarantees that a union workforce will be maintained? (GTAA workers are part of UNIFOR). No wonder unions are peeved.
Of course, the investors will be expected to make a profit, otherwise why would they invest? Those profits must come from either extra fees or reducing costs eg. labour or maintenance.

If passed, Mark Carney's proposal 'would be the most sweeping rollback of environmental protections ever.'
4 days until Parliament resumes. Contact your MP now, before the vote happens, and tell them to oppose this bill:

You couldn't make this stuff up.
Stephen Harper ... praised the Carney government during his speech.
“I do congratulate our current federal government on the measures it has taken to fast-track major project approvals, especially for projects in the oil sands. These changes are welcome and they are very important.”Later,
reporter asked Carney how American investment in Canadian infrastructure would help shore up Canadian sovereignty.
Carney said ... “American capital is welcome here to help build this economy.”

Reminder: just 4 companies dominate Alberta's tarsands — Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus, Imperial Oil & Suncor. All are majority foreign-owned (~75%), with ~60% of shares held by Americans.
Paying for a new pipeline to service these American interests — in the middle of a #ClimateCrisis, during a #TradeWar — would be a deeply stupid thing for Canadians to do.

"… there is no historical link betw. corporate tax rates & corporate investment.
[But] one thing has increased over the last several decades of corporate tax cuts: dividends. Since Canada began cutting corporate taxes in the 1980s, dividends - disproportionately paid out to the richest 1% - have increased from 5% of GDP to > 12% today.
This isn’t the only path Canada can take."

"It’s been a tumultuous summer in Canada. Heatwaves, floods and fires have swept across Canada and around the world. Many of these extreme weather events, including the European heat waves that claimed an estimated 10,000 lives and the terrifying jökulhlaups (glacial collapse) in Nepal would have been virtually impossible without human-caused climate change."
Against this backdrop, while much of the world is racing toward increasingly affordable renewable energy, Mark Carney "appears determined to run the other way by doubling down on fossil fuels."

'New Polling Shows Federal Pipeline Plans Hurting Government’s Popularity'
Carney's 'plans to subsidize a new oil pipeline and roll back environmental safeguards are hurting government support in key federal ridings'
In every riding polled, 50–59% were less likely to support an MP who backs taxpayer funding for another oil pipeline; 46-58% would be less likely to support a Liberal MP if the government proceeds with pipelines without assessing their environmental impacts:

This is so obvious that only Liberals cannot see it.

"For private operators to make the Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary airport concessions work, he says, they’ll have to cut capital investment or raise fees."

Someone else buying Canadian airports is not really an
"investment into Canada’s largest airports."
They are buying airports as investments in order to extract money from them.

@atomicker If current laws and regulations are too demanding, then we should reform them, not give Cabinet powers to over-ride the rules. This is one of the worst things about how the Carney ministry is operating, in my opinion.

"Trickle down hasn’t worked for the last 40 years. Why does Carney want to try it again?
Newly announced corporate tax break doubles down on a failed economic model
We already have one year of data from the prime minister’s latest round of corporate handouts. Investment has not budged. What has increased is corporate profits, which have once again reached record highs.
Carney is absolutely right that Canada needs more investment—especially in light of Trump’s trade war. But we can’t keep trying the same old trickle-down tactics that have failed us time and time again, all while creating nearly unprecedented wealth inequality and making us more reliant on the United States.
If Canada wants to increase investment and safeguard our sovereignty, we should start by using our own massive stores of capital to invest here at home. Currently, a whopping 75 percent of the capital controlled by Canada’s largest pension funds
The fossil fuel industry, which has been aggressively lobbying the government for just this outcome, is perhaps the best example of the failure of trickle-down economics in Canada.
Our public resources have been sold to private, largely foreign, investors, and continued tax cuts and subsidies for the industry have not led to sustained new investment, but instead to skyrocketing shareholder payouts, soaring fuel prices for consumers, and rising inflation overall."

Investors are going to do what they always do: enshittify for profit. Canadian airports have free WiFi and baggage carts, but not for long, I imagine.
"The Prime Minister says having private investors operate Canada's 4 largest airports is not privatization. But those opposed say that's precisely what it is, and investors will look to get as much cash as they can out of travellers."
