If the pipeline proposal proceeds on the schedule we are given it will begin right around the time of the next Alberta provincial election and have been in process for a year for the next BC provincial election. Making Smith look strong for hers and Eby look weak for his.

Carney is more ideologically copacetic with Danielle Smith than he is with David Eby and seems like he is both fine with a UCP governed Alberta and would prefer a CPBC governed British Columbia.

Potentially, depending on how they choose to finance it. The Trans Mountain pipeline is fully government owned through a crown corp, they could do something similar. Or they could potentially go with a P3 model where they use government funds to make investment more attractive to a private corporation resulting in a privately owned pipeline or shared ownership depending on the specifics of the agreement.

You'll notice there's a premier missing who's province is going to have to be involved in this. Also, how do you all feel about selling off our ports and airports to buy Danielle Smith another pipeline? Because,

There is no private sector proponent or route for a possible pipeline. The Alberta government says it will act as the project's proponent in submitting the proposal to the federal government's major projects office.

that "Sovereign Wealth Fund" will definitely be financing this.

You missed a name. This is a federal plan, after all.

And thanks to their military doctrine where they produce a limited quantity of very flashy, expensive weapons, they will get low on munitions when they engage in any serious conflict. Watching the US flounder against Iran (who apparently spends between 8-25 billion a year on defence according to various estimates I looked at) really makes you wonder if buying weapons from the US is buying weapons for yesterday's war.

The UN is a diplomatic structure that exists to give state's representatives a place to gather and talk. It's not a world government. If it had been created with the intention of being one, no one would have signed on.

“Oh I know, the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel. You fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.”

Yes, that's the lesson of the Holocaust. If in your mind the lesson of the Holocaust is that Israel gets one free genocide, you are fucking psychotic.
