To be fair to Carney and why Albertans should be at a minimum willing to listen, is that what he has said thus far in the campaign and leadership campaign has opened the possibility of helping incentivize 'pathways CCS' forward to 'buy' the carbon license that's potentially required to get a new pipeline aligned with the 'national interest.' Reading between the lines there's enough there to see how he could thread the needle nationally to get something like that done. While the CPC unequivocally supports oil and gas investment and new pipeline infrastructure, they could lack the political capital in provinces that won't naturally cooperate. As this very thread illustrates, many Canadians can be swayed to conservative policies, so long as it's not actually conservatives who are implementing them.

Canadians aren't voting for the CPC because they don't see them as a traditional Conservative party. If they were actual Conservatives, they'd get the votes they need. As many of us have said, we'd vote for a Conservative party given the chance.
