From The CO2 Coalition<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Vijay Jayaraj<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent memorandum of understanding<\/a> between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith represents the inevitable reassertion of economic necessity over the fantasy of \u201cdecarbonization\u201d that has gripped Ottawa for the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allowing for the construction of a pipeline to transport Albertan oil to a Pacific export terminal, the agreement prompted the resignation of one liberal member of parliament and celebration from the province\u2019s leader. \u201cThis is a great day for Alberta,\u201d declared Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alberta is a major vessel in Canada\u2019s economic bloodstream<\/a>. The province\u2019s energy sector generates $88 billion in annual gross domestic product (GDP)<\/a>, which is 25%<\/a> of the Alberta\u2019s total economic output. This revenue flows east to the national capital to fund federal transfers that support public finances of other provinces<\/a>, some of which oppose the oil production that provides them cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlantic Canada, parts of Quebec and even Ontario benefit from royalties and tax revenues generated by hydrocarbons extracted thousands of miles away. So-called moral objections to oil sands development are often voiced by inhabitants of Halifax or Montreal, but rarely heard is a willingness to forgo the western revenue that keeps hospitals open and public payrolls funded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it was financial reality that drove Carney to upend expectations established by countless government documents, climate pledges, and regulatory frameworks the previous government put in place to \u201csave the planet\u201d by discouraging the use of fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada\u2019s climate industrial complex had predicted that pipelines would become stranded assets and that Alberta would fade into irrelevance as net zero became federal policy. However, the deal signed by Carney moves in the opposite direction<\/a>, making provisions for new infrastructure and signaling that even Canada\u2019s most climate-obsessed federal leadership cannot govern without fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In technical terms, the federal cap on oil and gas emissions has been suspended. The Clean Electricity Regulation \u2013 a proposed constraint on Alberta\u2019s ability to generate affordable power \u2013 has been loosened. Timelines for reducing methane emissions have been extended beyond 2030. Yes, there are caveats that appear to impose a soft form of anti-carbon sentiment, but the overall picture has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, a publicly funded institution, has consistently parroted environmental advocates who treat fossil fuels as abominations rather than economic necessities. This messaging has convinced many Canadians that their government is committing a terrible sin by producing energy the world demands. Lost on them is the fact that Canadian oil and natural gas are produced under far more stringent standards than exist in the Middle East, Russia or other regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy abundance underpins prosperity. Nations that constrain their energy supply impoverish themselves. Nations that produce reliable, affordable energy benefit their populations and the broader world. Canada should produce the energy for itself and export the surplus to global markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond energy economics, there is another dimension to Canada\u2019s economic future that the legacy climate orthodoxy dismisses: agriculture. Canada\u2019s warming climate has extended growing seasons across the prairies and opened new agricultural possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to official data<\/a>, \u201ctotal wheat production rose 11.2% year over year to a record 40 million (metric tons) in 2025, surpassing the previous record set in 2013.\u201d Canola production rose 13%, surpassing a record set in 2017. Barley and oat production rose 19% and 17%, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all, the output for all principal field crops increased by 4% year-over-year. For the next crop year (2025-2026), total production is projected<\/a> to reach near record levels, up 3% year-over-year and 8% above the previous five-year average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historical analysis demonstrates that climate conditions across Canadian agricultural regions have shifted toward longer growing seasons, with more frost-free days and expanded viable crop zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critics will claim that allowing a new pipeline is a betrayal of future generations. But what truly endangers posterity? A fraction of a degree of warming that extends growing seasons? Or a future of energy scarcity, deindustrialization and economic stagnation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fearmongering about a \u201cclimate emergency\u201d served only to empower a bureaucratic class intent on controlling consumption and taxing lifestyles. It did nothing to change atmospheric physics or the needs of people who rely on affordable energy to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
