ANGUS: Pipeline to Nowhere

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - November 26, 2025 (VIDEO)

EXCERPT: "Prime Minister Mark Carney’s success in his first year has been to successfully convey an image of being the “smartest guy in the room.”

Even if you question some of his decisions, his steady-as-she-goes approach is reassuring. It has allowed him to accumulate a surprising degree of political capital – both at home and abroad.

But all that will evaporate if he keeps trying to dig up the zombie corpse of the Northern Gateway pipeline.

The push to revive Northern Gateway comes from Danielle Smith with the usual suspects backing her. Headlines in the American-owned National Post talk about Western “rage” over the lack of action on the pipeline. But other than Smith and the puppets at the Post, nobody in oil country is stepping up.

Back in 2014, Stephen Harper tried to push the northern pipeline through. It turned region against region, raised a massive Indigenous backlash and put environmental justice on the front burner.

There is no economic, political or environmental case for even considering the project. Northern Gateway 2.0 is the antithesis of “nation-building.” Carney could do a lot better than trying to imitate the worst of the Harper era.

Saying no to a second BC pipeline is a no-brainer. However, Carney is poised to sign a memorandum of understanding with Smith. And that will set the stage for a needless conflict between British Columbia and Albert, where BC will be forced into a staged war with MAGA Alberta. . . . . "
