"The proposed legislation would allow the Carney cabinet to make regulations to modify federal regulatory requirements for all projects determined to be in the country’s national interest.

He said national interest projects will include “pipelines that make sense,” clean energy grids, trade corridors, nuclear facilities, critical minerals and carbon-capture facilities"

I use a lot of fossil fuels and t think they’re going to last longer than some government goals suggest, but I’m not certain that any new pipelines make sense, anywhere in the world. Fix up and maintain the existing ones until they can be mothballed. Maybe there’s an argument to be made that exiting fossil fuels leaves market for other countries, or something, but investing heavily in a technology that we know for certain is hurting humanity’s chances of survival doesn’t seem bright.

Not without refineries at the other end of them, for sure. Otherwise, we're not even benefiting from the damage we're doing. And even then, it takes a long time to build a refinery.
