The alternate title to this post is he is showing himself to be a political idiot. I mention here that Mr. Carney can agree to all of Alberta's demands for its oil industry and it will not help him one bit in Alberta. Mark my words, during the next election the Liberals will lose seats in Alberta despite the decision to support this new pipeline to tidewater. It is a simple fact that you can dress up a rock in Conservative Blue in that province and voters will support it. Pierre Poilievre, I am looking in your direction!
It is also true that the only time the Conservatives win is when the progressive vote splits. This decision provides the other progressive parties in this country with the stick with which to beat the Liberals, who I will remind everyone, will be going for election victory number five the next time. That is a difficult enough task without handing a gift to the parties that can really hurt you while not really gaining anything from the other side.
Mark Carney is doing yeomen work in expanding Canada's trade and security relations with the world. That is where he seems to thrive but when it comes to domestic policy his performance is much more spotty and this agreement is an example of that.
