This afternoon, I rose in the Senate to speak to Bill C-5, particularly the Building Canada Act. In this speech I tried to contextualize my concerns about what this bill, which fast-tracks "projects of national interest" could mean for environmental protection, Indigenous rights, and project certainty. And I tell Albertans bluntly that no one will build a pipeline in the shadow of separatist threats. https://youtu.be/vsYGr8O3BAM?si=8WqtMch1DpluIwSG #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #C5 #C69 #ableg #Alberta

Back in 2020, before I was on Mastodon, I wrote this column on the politics of pipelines and the politics of co-dependent regional grievances. As the national pipeline debates kick off again, this piece seems freshly relevant. Dig in! https://albertaviews.ca/fates-intertwined/ #abpoli #cdnpoli #C69 #SenateofCanada

By the way - very very pleased to tell you that I've just lined up two of the smartest guys in town, Andrew Leach, #UAlberta professor of energy economics and Eric Adams, professor of constitutional law, for a special "breaking news" edition of my Alberta Unbound podcast, on Supreme Court ruling on Bill C-69. We will record it Sunday morning - and hope to release it by Monday afternoon. Stay tuned. #AlbertaUnbound #C69 #BillC69 #Alberta #SupremeCourtofCanada #SenateofCanada #abpoli #cdnpoli
