"It's a betrayal of the country. It'll let the province causing the most climate damage pay peanuts for its pollution. There's clearly only one province in PM Carney’s Canada – it’s Alberta, and it gets a free pass while the rest of Canada suffers the consequences." – WCEL Lawyer Anna Johnston

“Canada cannot claim to be defending its sovereignty while weakening its own laws to benefit a foreign-owned oil industry.”

Two former Liberal environment ministers have harshly criticized Carney’s proposal to fast-track approval of projects like long-route pipelines:
• Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault said Carney’s plan is “worse” than the changes under former Conservative PM Stephen Harper, which resulted in high-profile legal challenges
• former Liberal MP Catherine McKenna, said Carney’s proposal will lead to a “lack of trust” and lawsuits, ultimately making the project approval process slower, not faster

The government’s proposal, which is open for public comments until June 7, was lambasted by environmentalists for removing impact assessments on interprovincial pipelines, for allowing project construction to begin before impact decisions are made, for making it easier to destroy fish habitat, and for granting cabinet the ability to exempt specific projects from the application of the jeopardy test for species at risk.
Tell Carney to stop this here:

Mark Carney's proposal to legally allow projects to go ahead even if they result in an entire species going extinct is directed at projects, such as ports and pipelines, that jeopardize the existence of BC's endangered southern resident killer whale population:

Canada is not on track to meet any of its climate targets — not even the long-term goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 — thanks to “the removal or weakening of climate policies” over the last year, according to a February report by the Canadian Climate Institute.

The term “kokusho-bi,” meaning brutally hot day, is written next to the 40 C mark on a thermometer in Kumagaya, Saitama Prefecture, on Thursday. The new term was recently created by the Japan Meteorological Agency to refer to a day that has a high of at least 40 C.

Reminder: Last year, the ICJ found that states had a legal obligation to act on climate change.
Next week, every UN member state (including Canada) will have to go on record: acknowledge our legal responsibility to cut greenhouse gas emissions & fossil fuel use, or open ourselves up to legal action from across the world.
None of this is compatible with Mark Carney's push for more pipelines.

"You've got more people that are living in poverty already and if you get a reduction in crop yields because of drought or flooding [from El Niño] then that drives prices even higher. So we're looking at potentially quite huge humanitarian impacts this year, especially if the crisis in the Middle East continues".

Day 63: Big setback as only ferry serving Wewak has broken engine. The pastor looking after me recommends an alternative route through the Sepik river.
He leaves it late, but in the end he manages to find a place on the last truck of the day travelling to Angoram on the Sepik river. They leave me the privilege of travelling on the front of the truck where I have a comfy seat rather than the wooden benches all the other passengers use on the back. the scenery is very diverse from the ones I used to in Bougainville. there's no rainforest here, but rather grassland and bushes. it strikes me that even this very old, noisy and rusty truck is a luxury in comparison with the many who cannot afford it and walk over the main (and only) road. actually, we are lucky there's a road at all. This will stop at the Sepik river, as there's no bridge crossing over it.
I get to Angoram after an 8-hour drive. I have no idea where to stay and find a place to sleep in the local church (along with rats & insects).

I slow travel mainly to reduce my carbon footprint (by 10 times according to available estimates) but also to experience travel as most people in this world do.

On Mark Carney's proposed changes to the law (which would allow him to rubber-stamp approval of long-route pipelines before any impact assessments can be completed):
“It’s going to result in a lack of trust, it’s going to result in protests and it’s going to result in lawsuits (…). And that’s going to be a lot slower and it’s going to be a lot more divisive.”

Mark Carney's MOU with Danielle Smith required a private backer for his new pipeline, a carbon capture facility to reduce emissions at the source, deleting the tanker moratorium on the BC Coast, and a minimum price for industrial carbon emissions in Alberta of $130/tonne by 2030.
So far, Carney has no private backer for the pipeline, had the Pathways Alliance (now calling themselves the Oilsands Alliance) back out of carbon capture (which doesn't work anyway), faced nothing but determined resistance from Coastal First Nations in BC over the tanker moratorium, and now he's caving entirely on Alberta's industrial carbon emissions.
None of the conditions in his MOU have been met, and Mark Carney just keeps on retreating and backing down.

In the latest "and possibly most significant" climbdown in federal emissions-reduction policy, Mark Carney is expected to "significantly weaken the future industrial carbon price in Alberta".
It was described as the "final nail in Canada’s climate action coffin."
Mark Carney backs down yet again. If Carney can't even negotiate with Danielle Smith, how can he be expected to effectively represent Canada in negotiations with Donald Trump?

"Climate change has driven record-breaking outbreaks of fire in Africa, Asia and elsewhere this year, with conditions expected to get worse as the northern hemisphere's summer approaches and El Nino weather patterns kick in".
"Fires from January to April have already caused unprecedented levels of damage, burning more than 150 million hectares (370.66 million acres) of land, 20% more than the previous record"; "temperature records could be broken this year, causing widespread drought as well as fires, with the impact of human-induced climate change compounded by an especially strong "El Nino" effect."

“It’s really bad … I think this might be the thing that breaks things,” added another MP, who noted that the Liberal caucus was kept in the dark about the changes until Friday.
