Kennedy's latest antivax move, bypassing data collection and public review, shows he "was lying when he promised... his goals were to increase transparency and scientific accountability rather than impose his own agenda." Jonathan Cohn on RFK's subversion. lnk.thebulwark.com/43FIpU1

I often hear people claiming that political decision-making over pipelines is new. It isn't. Here's the first iteration of the National Energy Board Act, from 1959. In this law, and every law since, the final approval has been cabinet's, with varying discretion to the regulator.

β€œWe would have built the Northern Gateway pipeline," she begins, "because it was already approved and permitted.” Would we? I know Andrew Leach has all the receipts here about how Harper's government alligator-armed the project, but I want to share this tweet instead.

It was thrown out by the courts due to inadequate consultation of Indigenous communities. There is no guarantee whatsoever that said consultation would -- or could -- have been re-done to the court's satisfaction. And remember: unceded territory in BC is a different legal animal.

A lot of people have memory-holed that whole episode in the pipeline wars, but it's worth remembering that Keystone died because the Harper government refused to take climate change seriously -- and turned the project into an easy target for Barack Obama.

Leach's point about changing growth expectations is crucial. CAPP's forecast for pipeline demand in 2030 dropped by more than THREE MILLION BARRELS PER DAY from 2013 to 2017. There's no universe -- none -- where Canada would have built all three of KXL, NGP, and Energy East.

He knows that global oil demand is starting to peak. He knows no private company wants to sink its capital into new pipelines that would be increasingly at odds with this global economic reality. And he knows Smith is trying to set him up to fail.

What an honour and pleasure it was to join ⁦Steve Paikin⁩ on set as part of a panel on Canada’s future. This is The Agenda’s final month. The panel airs on TVOntario at 8 and 11 pm tonight. And yes, he is the best interviewer in the country. And my friend.

Greg Rickford with 29,000 constituents without a family doctor & Stephen Lecce $6.35B cut to public education, $85.5M cut to municipal child care adminstrators, a #Notwithstandingclause against unions collective bargaining rights & Bill 5 with unlimited power corrupts absolutely.
