HANNAFORD: Ottawa blinks as Smith forces historic energy retreat

History of a sort was made in Calgary today — and not the kind anyone saw coming. Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney stood side by side and signed a memorandum of understanding that tears up the federal clean-electricity regulations for Alberta, kills the oil-and-gas emissions cap once and for all, and commits both governments to a new west-coast export corridor, co-owned with indigenous partners, dedicated to shipping what used to be called “ethical oil.”

Or, as Mr. Carney now calls it — “decarbonized oil.”
