So what? LinkedIn is mostly a conservative leaning audience. I don't see what's surprising or concerning here.
If we want to discuss pipelines and railways I think generally speaking going east to west is better than north/south; if you get my drift.
Every concern I have about those kind of projects falls under the umbrella of Bill C-5... not Calgary's national cowboy dressup photo booth.
It doesn't worry you that the PM is pandering to that right-leaning audience, rather than standing up for things like climate action?
Right leaning people are still people/canadians whose needs and contributions matter. Appealing to them is not the same as doing their bidding.
Transitioning to renewables doesn't mean zero new oil/gas infrastructure. 100% renewables is simply NOT an option yet. Given the world's tendency to adopt Canadian standards, there are positives to Canada becoming an energy leader.
Making everything about the party leader is the level of thinking that MAGA operates on. I simply cannot respect opinions that ignore the larger context and conflate individuals with entire countries.
Ah, I see, you're OK with it because you like the policy.
My original post didn't say it was concerning though, so I'm not sure why you responded as though it did.
Edit: also, you seem to be following me around different Lemmy communities with a 3-hour-old account. Any reason for that?

WTF no I'm not. I'm replying to you on this post.
It's a small ass community. If you're posting lots than we're gonna cross paths.
edit: ohhhh you posted the linked in post as well. Ya no I'm not following you. Hadn't even realized you were the same person.
This is the LinkedIn post, which makes me even more sure you're following me around lmao
Well worry not. I'm gonna block you cuz you don't have much to say that interests me.
Sounds good!

That's not what I said. You need to differentiate between acknowledgements and endorsements. Those statements are facts, not my wishes.
You sound like someone who's never been in a position of responsibility. Who's never had to make a decision knowing that someone would be upset or even harmed.
I have written multiple letters regarding Bills C-2 and C-5 griping their lack of oversight and potential over reach. Also wrote letters about his whole, "No budget" plan.
This is policy. We can hold our politicians accountable without devolving conversations to gossip and ad hominins.
OK, well, it really seemed like you were defending the PM's policy direction. Even as I re-read what you wrote, I'm struggling to find an alternative explanation.
Anyway if the political game is to pander to what people are demanding, then isn't it the role of the people to be vocal about what they want?
If you are as worried about Bills C-5 and C-2 as you say, then why defend the PM being nice to Premier Smith, who many Liberals were literally calling a traitor just a couple months ago?
Why defend the PM being nice to Doug Ford, who is trying to ram through anti-democratic "special economic zones" legislation in Ontario's Bill 5?
Meh, I see it as Carney as throwing the provinces a bone and an "attaboy" for collaborating. Costs him nothing to do.
Worth asking what exactly they're collaborating on then, right? Just a couple days ago, ministers from those same two provinces asked the Feds not to renew the requirements to provide safe drinking water to Indigenous communities. And the screenshot here was careful to include the word 'pipelines'.
What a spin on a post title. Where has all of the subtlety gone?
How would you frame the PM's post, out of curiosity?
Mea culpa. I just saw the word "right" and thought someone was trying to be clever. My idiocy has no subtlety. It was a good posting though.
Oh, lol, I'll take some blame there too, I maybe should have hyphenated 'right-wing'
Linkedin? That will be a hard no from me.
Fair point. Here's the text that Carney wrote:
"The premiers are right on: Canada has what the world needs, and we need to get back into the business of exporting it to new markets. We’re building one united Canadian economy, and there’s more to come."
Here's the headline from the screenshot:
"Premiers Danielle Smith and Doug Ford agree to study new energy corridors, more trade."
And this is the text in the screenshot, below the picture of Premiers Smith and Ford at a press conference (the screenshot is from CTV news, btw):
"The premiers of Alberta and Ontario agreed Monday to a feasibility study of new pipelines and rail lines between provinces and pledged to increase interprovincial trade of"
