You are being kind and charitable. Carney is being artfully ambiguous.

His talk of making Canada an energy superpower doesn't mean any fossil fuels because of the emissions cap and the industrial carbon tax and pressure to avoid financing fossil fuel companies and building any new pipelines, and etc.

The mainstream media don't explain this, perhaps because they don't understand it. Or because their salaries are largely paid by the government.

So let me see. If I had to invest my shareholders funds under these "guidelines" and ensure a great ROI I'd say "stick it where the sun don't shine". Arrogant pr**ks who rule like monarchs - guess they are still part of the Commonwealth and the Royals attend the High Church of Climate Change?

Indeed, like the requirement that a project must "have a high likelihood of successful execution." Seems rather paradoxical. Presumably, being tied up in litigation or being best by blockades and vandalism as some activist groups like to do, would count against the likelihood of execution. TC Energy spent over $1 billion on the regulatory process for Energy East and then the plug was pulled anyway. Once bitten, twice shy, and rightly so.
