Trudeau’s letters were all about climate change. Carney, not so much

Carney’s mandate letter to ministers is dramatically different than Trudeau’s, with climate change an afterthought. Trudeau mentioned climate 27 times in his letter to Steven Guilbeault, 20 times to Jonathan Wilkinson. Carney? Once, and almost in passing.

Another major nuclear announcement, this time in Tennessee, which will have impact on SaskPower’s nuclear ambitions.

  1. Carney did say he wanted Canada to have the lead economy in the G7, This would require a complete repudiation of everything that everyone in his cabinet has done for the last 10 years.

  2. It’ll probably take ten years for TVA to get NRC approval for the SMR. Then another 10 years for construction.

    1. there are pipelines on the books now for more than 50 years. the mackenzie valley line for one. 5 tcf of gas in the Mackenzie delta

    2. OPG will spend $20b for four SMRs producing 1,200 MW. Natural gas power plants can do the same job for a much lower outlay.

      Meanwhile ON is headed for half T debt in a couple of years. Can it afford to add to its interest burden. Is there a better option than SMRs?

    3. No, just like OPG, they are using existing Licensed sites. They are already secure, have an operating island isolated from the Public and will be a huge waste of money, unless you like working in a toxic woke mMarxist hellhole called OPG. OPG is a full blown Cult Member of the Rainbow Mafia and Climate Blame Human For everything crowd.
      BURN COAL AND OIL!!!

      FILTHY LIBERALS

  3. Somebody made a YouTube video showing Jonathan Wilkinson over the last 8 years talking multiple times about how there will be no new pipelines and no new development in the energy sector in Canada , and then when he was running for his riding seat in the last election he was saying about how he’s always been for Pipelines and he’s always been for energy sector increases.
    Jonathan Wilkinson is a filthy POS lying libtard scumbag

    1. how about you do a search, find a link, post it, we can all see for ourselves instead of the std ‘trust me lm making a claim everyone MUST believe’

      1. How about you do the work, instead of me, I saw it and heard it with my own eyes and ears and I don’t lie. Go do the work yourself,go find the YouTube video and watch it. Jonathan Wilkinson is a slimy, scuzzy, filthy lying liberal ultra scumbag. And that’s the nicest thing I can say about him.

        1. You’re being too kind.
          I describe every single cabinet minister the same way. Give me a minute or so, and I’ll come up with a few more superlatives. /s

  4. l found it. did a ‘find in this page’. its in the 4th paragraph.
    ‘we will fight climate change’. whoopdidoo.

  5. The generic “mandate letter” said nothing of real value — generic pablum. It likely means there is less transparency of what is actually motivating them. This at the end sticks out as a hat tip to the WEF: “build it to be even better.”

  6. Carney is a better deceiver than Juthtin. Being a bankster, he is used to showing one thing on a balance sheet for investors and having off-book notes that offer clues about reality.

    Carney has to be seen as doing one thing for the low IQ zombies who worship him, and the fools who “want to give him a chance, because surely he’ll be somehow different from the corrupt, lying, hostile anti-Canadian agenda-driven POSs he surrounds himself with”, while carrying on full steam ahead with the same anti-Western, anti-freedom, junk-science, fascist agenda the Liberals have been sprinting down for the last decade and counting.

  7. I’d hold off on the Mark Carney fan club if I were you…not quite sure what you’re getting at with respect to the “He only mentioned “Climate change” once metric as if that’s somehow supposed to make us all feel warm and fuzzy. I read this morning Carney will pursue a policy of punishing those companies who aren’t drinking the climate change kool aid. So what say ye now? And the last time I checked the portfolio is Environment and Climate Change.

    “Watch what they do…not what they say” or in this case, what they don’t say.

    1. More appropriate name is “Environment and Tossing Virgins into Volcanoes Canada”

  8. If Carney said the sky is blue I will go outside and check it. There is no reason to believe anything he says especially as: No budget. Toronto house prices cratering. Endorsement of Hamas.

    As for his comment about Canada being a leader..we have no money any more and anyone with any skills, talent or a STEM degree is escaping south.

  9. Just looking at the photo there, Brian…who would that be just 2 faces to the right of the newly minted PM? (That would be he newly minted PM’s left?) Seems kind of familiar, Hmmm.
    Just a thought about the photo – there is a cost represented there of about 12 million tax dollars to the taxpayers PER MONTH!, represented there, about 150 MILLION DOLLARS EACH AND EVERY YEAR.

  10. Makes me wonder who was writing Trudeau’s letters. Not a fan of Carney, but so glad that shallow hypocrite is gone. Ugh. May we never have to see the likes of him again.

  11. Easing the fear of their own government that people have in this place, wealthy leftist radicals need not worry, it’s just smoke, their fire is still burning.

    1. Nailed it! When you fear the government… Carny appears to want us to think he’s not tyrannical.

  12. Well I must admit, except for the brief mention of “advancing reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples” and “fighting climate change”, it sounds quite reasonable.

    Do I believe that’s his real agenda? No. It’s contrary to everything he’s stood for in the past. For example, he says they’ll be spending less on government operations, but in his campaign the intent was to increase spending by $130 billion. Which one to believe? The leopard can’t change it’s spots.

    As for climate change, need he say more? He’s already let us know his intent.

  13. Sadly … No one in the CA PUC or PG&E ever makes a statement like this …

    “ … We believe deploying new nuclear is essential to providing American families and businesses affordable and abundant electricity for decades to come.”

    Time to move to TN

  14. Crooked Carbon Tax Marx Carnage will make the Turd’s Reign of Error look tame. He took the credit for stopping the 2008 Financial Crisis in Canada then was exposed as totally incompetent in the UK for the same job.

  15. Nuclear power in Sask in anyone’s lifetime is a fantasy…unless they become the 51st soon.

  16. What is with the hands of the people sitting in the front row?A bunch of them have a hand on each of their legs and look super awkward.
    Interesting about the nuclear site here in TN. Had not heard about it. Hopefully won’t mean we will get the big ugly AI energy eating centers since. The University of Tennessee is among the top nuclear engineering programs in the world (located in Knoxville which is about 30 miles from Oak Ridge).

  17. The ex-prime moron didn’t and still doesn’t give a shit about the “climate”.
    It was all a plan to increase bureaucracy, increase taxes, increase corruption and then give “handouts” to the imbecile voters.
    I don’t give a fck what Marky Marx says or writes.
    He’s a Liberal therefore he’s lying.

  18. And Crooked Carbon Tax Marx Carnage didn’t need to say it over and over because it’s already in place. You will own nothing, eat zee bugs and be happy. When the Morlocks are hungry, you Eloi idiots will feed them.

  19. From Carney’s letter:
    “The combination of the scale of this infrastructure build and the transformative nature of artificial intelligence (AI) will create opportunities for millions of Canadians to find new rewarding careers – provided they have timely access to the education and training they need to develop the necessary skills.”

    I fed this into the universal translator powered by artificially sweetened intelligence and it spat out this:
    “Shifting to net-zero will require replacing the country’s reliable conventionally powered energy grid with another powered by intermittent wind and solar and electricity will then be prioritized favouring multi-national corporate AI computing centers over the petty needs of Canadian citizens such as lighting, heating, and transportation. This will create economic growth similar to that obtained by smashing every window in the city thus creating jobs to install new windows. Those of you currently employed in oil, gas, and agriculture will need to be re-educated to function in the new order. Learn to code roughnecks.”
