There are no guarantees. (There never are.) But PM Mark Carney’s latest move to protect Canadian sovereignty could open a path to the real nation-building projects we need and want.
Several days in the life of someone trying to get a straight answer. Sure, they missed the deadline. We thought you'd still want to see what they said. And what was left unsaid.
Canada is on fire. Again. The Carney government fast-tracks a pipeline. Still. Can anyone come up with a better way to invest $43.7 billion that builds the nation rather than burning it down?
Wildfire images from Europe and closer by show that the climate emergency is now. But misinformation abounds as powerful interests try to redirect attention, discredit climate solutions.
The Prime Minister and his team push oil pipelines and carbon capture megaprojects while you can "taste the air and feel the heat". They think we'll forget by fall, and they may yet be correct.
Big news! We're hosting an online, open-line discussion over the summer to hear what *you* would see as a “good investment” of $43.7 billion for Canadian taxpayers. Time to get creative.
Carney seals the pipeline deal, and his energy minister touts a $43-billion taxpayer bailout as a good investment. Would you buy a used “energy superpower” strategy from these guys?
The Trump vs. Iran news intensified overnight, after oil companies brought him back to office. We’d already written about the Clean50 as an essential force for good. The two stories aren’t unrelated.

Finally, some hope after a stormy time. And with the networks and connections we’ve built over the last few scary, intense weeks, this is just the beginning.
