The pipeline deal is a dangerous distraction from real projects that actually create jobs and revenue right now. Renegotiating federal climate policies province by province will trigger a race to the bottom, increase emissions, and create investment uncertainty. No private buyers exist for this phantom pipeline, which lacks a clear route and adequate Indigenous support, and faces an immovable tanker ban on the north coast.
This transformational energy agreement balances environmental responsibility with economic growth through industrial carbon pricing at $130 per tonne and a 75% methane reduction target. The pathway to an Asian pipeline enhances Canada's energy independence, but requires the Pathways Alliance carbon capture project as a prerequisite. This nuanced approach positions Canada as a global energy leader.
