So, I'm about to listen to this article, and an ad comes on from the Canadian federal government where they say that their new energy projects will "lower emissions." Does this even comply with anti-greenwashing laws? Or maybe they've exempted themselves..
Brookfield owns Canadian pipelines, and Carney owns Brookfield (in part, through shares and stock options held in a not-very-blind trust, which the ethics commissioner said he should divest, but he hasn't), but it's all okay because .. because...... can some Carney splainer tell us why this is ok?

Big eagle day for me, they were having a party out at the point. Saw one catch a fish, which I haven't seen in years. Later went back with the kids for some northern lights, but was a little early. The world is still beautiful.
Remember, everyone, Carney is a JUNIOR PM - he's new to politics, and has a minority government. Don't just blame him, his Cabinet - every MP in it, is equally responsible for not calling this out as the violation of international law which it is.
Murder. They all belong in the Hague. Since Canada has also abandoned the rules-based international order, it will have to come from us - the people.
That's really a cool visitation. I happened t pause it here... wow;
I went swimming at dusk. It was snowing very lightly, and the ocean was ocean temperature. It's good to feel alive.
