Carney needs to 'pick a lane' on climate priorities and energy boost, activist says
- Prime Minister Mark Carney faces pressure in 2025 to decide whether to support Canada's oil and gas sector amid climate and energy debates.
- This pressure arises from Carney's campaign openness to pipeline expansion, economic stability goals, and conflicting stances on emissions caps and carbon pricing.
- The Keystone XL pipeline, a 1,900-kilometre project previously rejected on environmental grounds and killed in 2021, symbolizes pipeline controversies and shifting industry interest.
- Oil and gas leaders sent Carney a letter after the election outlining five key requests, including the removal of emissions caps, while Adam Waterous noted that the sector is no longer interested in pursuing the Keystone XL project, instead focusing on an east-west pipeline to expand export markets.
- These developments imply Carney must make urgent energy choices balancing economic stability and climate goals, as his 'all of the above' approach refuses to pick a clear direction.
