The new Minister of Energy & Natural Resources presented this morning to the Calgary energy community. His comments were encouraging, rationale, and pragmatic:
"Canada will no longer be defined by delay, we will be defined by delivery"
"every barrel of responsibly produced Canadian oil can displace riskier energy elsewhere in the world and break dependence on authoritarian regimes and reduce emissions"
"conventional and clean energy superpower"
"get more barrels to market while cutting emissions"
"we need infrastructure that gets our product to tidewater...diversifying beyond the US"
"we need energy security for all of Canada - Eastern Canada needs better security"
"energy is Canada's superpower"
"this relationship matters and I'm committed to a clean slate"
"the Canadian energy industry is the best in the world, we will treat it that way, let's keep it that way"
"my door is open, I want you to bring your ideas, bring your ambitions, and together we will build"
Reading between the lines: pipelines to the West, big emphasis on Pathways, and surprising to me...Energy East or some version thereof.
A clear theme throughout this campaign has been that Mark Carney lies.
He lies quickly.
He lies casually.
He lies all the time.
He did it this week in attacking his main opponent on something he knew wasn't true.
This isn't a good look for a politician.

I've never seen a politician lie as much or as blatantly as Mark Carney in my 25 years of covering politics.
Yesterday, when called out on saying something that wasn't true about Pierre Poilievre, he doubled down and called it a fact.

WOW 🤯 Bloomberg just said, if CARNEY is re elected, Canada’s fiscal position will WORSEN, and our debt to GDP unlikely to improve. VOTE properly, Canada 🇨🇦
Given his refusal to repeal the ‘no new pipelines’ law, Canadians need to know why @MarkJCarney is so against building Canadian pipelines while his company buys pipelines in the U.S. and around the world.
Would Canadian pipelines compete against and hurt his portfolio? We need to know about these issues before the election is held.

First it was endorsements from several workers unions. And now endorsement from leading business people - when does that ever happen? It happens when your policy will transform the economy.
Keep it going @PierrePoilievre
If Carney is the economist, why are business leaders and former bank heads supporting Poilievre?
It's simple.
Carney has an expensive and economically restrictive green agenda.
Poilievre has a small government pro-business economic growth agenda.

To those that think Carney’s CV means anything and think he’ll be good for the economy: look at who just endorsed Poilievre
If you know anything about business in Canada you will recognize most if not all names on here. Trust their judgement.
Carney is not who you think he is.
Wow.
This just dropped in EVERY major Canadian newspaper. Canada’s greatest innovators and business leaders have come together to endorse Pierre Poilievre.
This is HUGE. 🇨🇦
