There is every indication that Carney is as anti-oil as his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, despite all his talk of building an energy superpower

The federal government will do nothing to get a pipeline built. That much is clear from the advanced reports about what is in the MOU (memorandum of understanding) that Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are expected to sign Thursday in Calgary.

Once Alberta has everything in place (constitutional, Indigenous, environmental, regulatory and financial), then the Carney government will consider giving the pipeline to their Major Projects Office (MPO).
