Carney is all in on more toxic bitumen exports (most go to Nazi USA), he lies to the public with his propagandizing impossible to do decarbonizing carbon-spewing tarsands and frac’d gas and oil. The timing of this announcement by his Harper con partner Danielle Smith is highly suspect with Carney on his way back to the vulgar oval office of Pedophilia to lick the convicted felon Nazi King’s ass, and the asses of Couch Fucker Palantir Vance and the rest of the law violating democracy-destroying regime of billionaires. I am fucking horrified to be led by a Harper con in these terrible times of Nazi resurgence.
Energy minister dismisses ‘hypothetical’ question of repealing B.C. tanker ban, ‘There is no project before us,’ Hodgson says as Alberta plans pipeline proposal by Benjamin Lopez Steven, CBC News, Oct 04, 2025
Energy Minister Tim Hodgson is brushing off questions over whether the Liberal government will repeal the tanker ban in B.C.’s northern waters, calling them “hypothetical” since Alberta has not formally submitted a pipeline proposal for consideration.
Speaking to reporters Friday afternoon in Montreal, Hodgson addressed Alberta’s announcement that it plans to pitch a new bitumen pipeline to the northern coast of B.C. — a move that drew a sharp rebuke from B.C. Premier David Eby.
“What we’ve said is that if Alberta wants to be a proponent [and] they want to put the money forward to work as a proponent for a pipeline, that’s their right to do,” Hodgson said.
“When they bring it forward, like every other project, at that point we’ll take a look at where they are and we’ll evaluate it at that time.”
Alberta says it needs to be the proponent for the application because private industry isn’t willing to commit the necessary capital for a pipeline like this, given existing federal regulations like the 2019 restrictions on oil tankers in B.C.’s northern waters.
that it’s a stupid idea; makes zero sense economically, socially and environmentally; and there already is a bitumen gunk pipeline that isn’t even full. Besides, why the hell would AmeriKKKan companies pay a penny for a pipeline when they can make Canadian taxpayers pay for more than it’s worth, like they did with Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline which the company had fucking said was not economically viable.
“You can’t build a pipeline to the northwest coast and still have a tanker ban,” Smith said during a news conference in Calgary on Wednesday afternoon.I bet Smith is operating on orders from her King, Adolf Idiot Mass Polluter Orange and that the project is teamwork with quisling Carney who will most likely force it through because he’s obviously working for the AmeriKKKan Nazis
When asked whether the Liberal government would repeal the tanker ban, Hodgson said “it’s a hypothetical question right now because there is no project before us.”
But, after the application is before Carney’s Harper cons, I bet the tanker ban will go vamooosh up Trump’s Nazi ass, and the pipeline will be added to Carney’s corrupt AmeriKKKA-building list.
Tanker ban protects B.C. economy, province says
In an interview with CBC’s The House that aired Saturday morning, B.C. Energy Minister Adrian Dix said the tanker ban is important because it protects the province’s coast, which is critical to its economy.
“We’re focused on our projects, all of which have proponents, all of which are well along, all of which need support from the federal government,” Dix told host Catherine Cullen. “They’re not theoretical projects. They’re real projects.”
Dix also said his province is opposed to “anything that negatively affects the economy of B.C.” and the tanker ban is “foundational to economic development on the north coast.”
He added that the reason Alberta has not found a proponent for its bitumen pipeline is because there’s “no business case.”
Eby said earlier this week Alberta’s proposal is vague and relies too heavily on government involvement, especially when compared to other projects set to come before the new Major Projects Office.
“To put that tanker ban at threat, it’s not just a threat to our pristine coast that so many British Columbians, including myself, value, but it is a direct economic threat to the kind of economy that we’re trying to build in the country here,” Eby said.
Energy company chair disputes B.C. arguments
Alex Pourbaix is the executive chair of Cenovus Energy, and part of a supervisory panel for Alberta’s pipeline application.Corruption Supreme, as Alberta does best! He told The House he would “disagree entirely” with B.C.’s argument there’s no business case.Of course he would, he’s a greedy corrupt Nazi like all the polluting fossil fuel rich, eager to serve his orange PedoFührer for more profit. Cenovus was morphed from illegal aquifer frac’er Encana after my lawsuit papers were served on the company. In my view, Cenovus is just as dirty and harmful as Encana/Ovintiv, if not more so because it’s a tarsands frac’er.
“I think everybody understands that Canada has some of the largest resources of oil in the world, and the world is continuing to grow in demand for oil. If Canada doesn’t supply that oil, it is going to be supplied by other countriesFine. Let other countries destroy life on earth,” Pourbaix said.
The reason why Alberta is not stepping in, Pourbaix said, is because it wants to get its proposal off the ground and use its relationship with the federal government to make amendments to legislation it believes hinders development.Big reveal by Pourbaix: Carney and Smith are pollution partners, and plan to undo the tanker ban to serve PedoFührer and his kid raping Nazi regime, polluters, billionaires and AmeriKKKa, and get another tarsands gunk pipeline built, no matter how insane and harmful the project is.
“The view of the government is that they’re going to kick this off, and if we get traction, there will be a point in time at which the Alberta government largely or completely steps out and you see the private sector step in,” Pourbaix said.Liar. That’ll never happen. Tarsands polluters have precedent with gross money losing Trans Mountain; they’ll never pay for a bitumen pipeline because they know it’ll never make any profit.
Smith said earlier this week she made her position on the tanker restrictions “abundantly clear” to Prime Minister Mark Carney and is “more optimistic now than I’ve ever been” that Ottawa will revise that law.Carney and Smithie sitting in a Bitumen Tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G….Carney will not only undo the ban, he’ll approve the stupid pipeline using Trump as his excuse to violate BC’s coast and environment along the pipeline right of way.
In addition, the premier said she will be seeking “meaningful and substantive reforms” to the Impact Assessment Act and the proposed federal cap on oil and gas sector emissions.
The Alberta government says it expects to submit its application to the Major Projects Office in the spring of 2026.
@akurjata.ca:
I guess there’s no Alberta oil or Saskatchewan potash, either
‘There is no B.C. coast. It’s Canada’s coast’: Sask. premier supports Alta. pipeline proposal
@betterpensionsbc.bsky.social:
Guess BC should demand that Alberta and Saskatchewan not stand in the way as we build some massive wind farms in Canada’s prairies. After all, it‘s the best place to get our wind energy to market.
@sharonrmecfs.bsky.social:
Smith & Moe were quite tuned in to their MAGA GOP tariff plans last fall.
Smith signed energy agreements with 12 Republican Governors.
Moe sent exponential shipments of potash to USA farmers ahead of tariffs.
Quislings.
@pat112.bsky.social:
2 faced liars. Funny how they want a national coast program after rejecting a national energy program long long ago and greedily hugging Bitumen like Gollum, mine, all mine , screw the rest of you . What is mine is mine and what is yours is mine
@fram1963.bsky.social:
With that logic then the oil belongs to Canada not Alberta.
@scotlady19.bsky.social:
Exactly. Smith thinks she owns Alberta.

Just announced: Mark Carney will meet with Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday for a “working visit.” It’s their third in-person meeting, after they met in June at G7 summit and in May at White House.
@mikevlasic.bsky.social:
I cringe every time he goes down there. He’ll offer up more & it won’t make any difference to Assolini. It’s become so embarrassing. I’ve given up hoping he’ll ever stand up to them.
@bornat3b.bsky.social:
I can’t imagine shaking the hand of a convicted sex pest, especially one with credible allegations of CSA against them, or who are known to be shielding such a person.
I would feel dirty forever.
Pretty sure this could have been a zoom call.
And Carney could avoid a bout of C19, measles and GKW.
