Pipeline MOU : Is this deal for Brookfield or is this deal for Canada?

The Ottawa-Alberta memorandum of understanding (MOU) promises to scrap the federal oil and gas emissions cap but replaces it with costly methane reductions and mandatory carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS)—a technology criticized as unviable globally without subsidies like Canada's 75% tax credits, benefiting firms like Brookfield (a major investor with potential conflicts tied to Prime Minister Mark Carney's past role). The MOU fails to remove barriers like Bill C-69 and C-48 tanker bans, hindering competitiveness against unregulated exporters like Venezuela, Iran, or Saudi Arabia, amid capital flight and stagnant investment. The discussion also explores Carney's "hegemons" rhetoric vs. his China loan and Freeland's $52B battery deals/Ukraine focus (potentially diverting capital from Canada); reignited Alberta separatism; economic headwinds (no Bank of Canada rate cuts, new home sales down 82-91%); Toyota's $1.1B hybrid investment in Ontario; Tesla's Optimus potential; China's rapid infrastructure vs. Canada's outdated systems; and socialism critiques through historical examples like East/West Germany, North/South Korea, and Venezuela.
