Varcoe: Carney says it's 'highly likely' an oil pipeline will make Ottawa's major project list
Article content 'Yeah, that does rise towards the level of nation-building, because we're building a new industry and it unlocks other things,' he added. Article content Alberta's premier also showed up at Saturday's pancake breakfast, outside a United Brotherhood of Carpenters' hall, and briefly bumped into the prime minister. Article content In a later interview, Smith welcomed Carney's comments that an oil pipeline will likely make the federal list, and his remarks on the merits of the carbon capture initiative in the oilsands. Article content 'That's what I've been hoping to see,' Smith said. Article content 'I can see why our customers want a lower carbon product. It seems to me like those two projects together make perfect sense, and I'm hoping we can come to a deal on that.' Article content However, Smith believes several hurdles still need to be removed by the federal Liberal government before any new pipeline can gain the necessary investor and producer confidence. Article content Article content This would include changing the federal emissions cap on the oil and gas industry, the Impact Assessment Act, and the tanker ban off the northern B.C. coast. Article content Carney said the federal government wants to see more oil and gas produced, and decarbonized, in Canada. He suggested there would be ways to build projects and deal with the tanker ban. Article content 'We're not going to have a project that gets oil to tidewater and it stays there.' Article content

Lac-Mégantic: lessons still to be learned 12 years later, say residents
A man touches a stone monument in front of Ste-Agnes church following a memorial service for the 47 victims of an oil-filled train derailment a year ago, in Lac-Megantic, Que., Sunday, July 6, 2014. (Paul Chiasson/The Canadian Press) Twelve years after the Lac-Mégantic tragedy, little progress has been made in improving rail transport around the town, according to the spokesperson for the Coalition of Citizens and Organizations Committed to Rail Safety in Lac-Mégantic. Commemorations were held on Sunday morning in the municipality that was marked by a train derailment that killed 47 people on July 6, 2013. While flowers were laid at the memorial site by municipal councillors, members of the Coalition placed flowers on the tracks where the train derailed. According to Robert Bellefleur, spokesperson for the Coalition, hresidents of Lac-Mégantic have yet to begin healing. On top of delays in the construction of the railway bypass, 'monster trains' on the railways is causing concern among the population. 'Before, trains had an average of about 80 cars. (...) Trains now have more than 200 cars, are over 15,000 feet long, and have large locomotives that often weigh more than 150 tons,' said Bellefleur. 'These railways were designed for much lighter and smaller trains, which means that the railway infrastructure is really under major additional pressure,' he said. For her part, Federal Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland paid tribute to the victims of the tragedy in a statement. She assured that the bypass remained one of her priorities. 'This is the sixth transport minister to make the same statement. Meanwhile, the years are flying by,' Bellefleur responded.

Photo by Darren Makowichuk / DARREN MAKOWICHUK/Postmedia CALGARY — Prime Minister Mark Carney may be a deft hand when it comes to handling finances, but he proved Saturday that his flapjack flipping could use some work.

Create Account Carney attended a pancake breakfast Saturday hosted by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, which attracted a crowd of about 200 people. 'The grill's hot,' Carney told onlookers. 'You guys ready?' Sizzling on a black, flat-top griddle, Carney slid his spatula under the first hotcake and flipped it, landing with a splat. In an attempt to redeem himself, he tossed a second into the air, but it, too, landed lopsided and sent batter splatters into the crowd. 'I was better in Ottawa,' Carney joked. 'I got a little cocky there. I'll take responsibility.' Sliding the two pancake mishaps to the side, Carney said: 'These are mine. I'm not making anyone eat these.' The prime minister asked if anyone had watched 'The Galloping Gourmet,' a cooking show that aired from the late 1960s and the early '70s.

'He'd be like, 'Here's one I made earlier,'' said Carney, taking a perfectly-made pancake and placing it on the griddle. One onlooker told the prime minister, 'You're even worse at (flipping pancakes) than Trudeau.' 'There are certain things at my job I'm better at,' Carney quipped. 'I'm better at eating pancakes … I'm better at Eggo waffles.' RECOMMENDED VIDEO The prime minister shook hands and took photos with many people attending the breakfast. He also ran into Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who took part in some pancake flipping earlier this week with Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek. 'The premier's here. I love your blue hat. It looks like you've got a whole collection,' Carney said. 'I do and I can't wear the same colour all the time,' Smith said. 'But I hear you have a little work to do on your flipping skills.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'I do,' Carney replied. 'There's video evidence. I'm not going to deny it.' Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was also attending the breakfast, but waited in his vehicle until Carney left. Smith told Carney that she and Ontario Premier Doug Ford were going to sign a memorandum of understanding on energy, priorities and trade. 'It would be so great if we didn't have net-zero (carbon) rules,' Smith said. Fresh off door knocking in rural Alberta, Poilievre hosted his own barbecue at Heritage Park in southeast Calgary Saturday evening and addressed a tent full of several hundred party supporters. The Conservative leader is seeking to regain his spot in the House of Commons after losing his long-held seat in Ottawa in the recent federal election. Poilievre was introduced by Damien Kurek, the former member of Parliament who stepped aside so he could run for the seat. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Poilievre, wearing a cream-coloured cowboy hat, blue jeans and a belt buckle, started his remarks by chirping Carney's earlier performance on the griddle. 'He thought he would be great at it because in his talks with Donald Trump, he's had so much experience flip-flopping,' Poilievre said. 'A careful review of a slow motion replay demonstrated exactly what the problem was. He couldn't figure out whether to keep his elbows up.' The party is still licking its wounds after its recent loss in the federal election, which appeared to be Poilievre's to lose at this time last year. Poilievre argued that in spite of the loss, his party has been responsible for many of the current federal government's policies, such as the decision to end the consumer price on carbon. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Poilievre will be back in Calgary this coming January for the Conservative national convention, where he will have his leadership tested in a party vote. 'To be honest, I wanted to return here today with an election victory. Though we didn't win, we made extraordinary gains,' he said. Closing out a speech that railed on the federal government's immigration, fiscal and environment policies, the Calgary-born leader leaned on a Western-themed metaphor. 'When things get hard, we dust ourselves off, we get back in the saddle, and we gallop forward to the fight,' he said. Party members lined up shortly after to take photos with him onstage.
