Avi Lewis: “We do not achieve unity or prosperity from projects that pit communities against one another, all while a handful of oil…”

I think it’s pretty ugly to see this occasion being used to score partisan points. I won’t be doing that. It was a personal reflection that I know is shared by many people.

Mark Carney is basically asking us all to trust him that we're going to double down on the most profitable corporations and sectors to build even more corporate profits.

“We cannot let that happen. You don’t save Canada by allowing American investors to dismantle steel production in this country piece by piece,” said Lewis.

Carney’s token announcements don’t measure up to the billions of dollars in public funding and corporate incentives that could go toward a proposed oil pipeline from Alberta to the West Coast.
