Liberals REJECT pipeline motion as caucus rift grows

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals are dismissing claims their caucus is split over the Alberta–Ottawa energy accord, even as they prepare to vote against a Conservative motion that mirrors the exact wording of the MOU Carney signed with Premier Danielle Smith last month. That agreement endorsed building a pipeline to the B.C. coast, but Energy Minister Tim Hodgson says today’s motion is merely “a cynical ploy to divide us” and insists the party is united — despite visible internal dissent.

Former cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault amplified those doubts with a Toronto Star op-ed accusing the government of giving up “something for nothing.” Meanwhile, Coastal First Nations leaders are urging MPs to reject any tanker-ban exemption and oppose the pipeline outright.

Marc Patrone is joined by former Liberal MP and energy analyst Dan McTeague, who argues the Liberals “never intended” to follow through on the MOU. He warns that rising carbon-pricing costs and carbon capture requirements could render the project uneconomic and says tonight’s vote will further test the government’s credibility — and Canada’s investment climate — heading into 2026.
