Part 7/11:
Mark Carney, Canada's former Governor of the Bank of Canada and now a vocal critic of Western Canada's energy policies, is portrayed as a bureaucrat out of touch with the realities of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Critics accuse him of engaging in political theater or attempting to undermine Western economic interests, despite professing to promote cooperation and energy security.
The frustration is compounded by the recognition that Ottawa's leadership has historically failed to support the West, instead favoring environmental activists and foreign interests. There’s a sense that Ottawa’s refusal to approve pipelines or support resource development reflects a prioritization of climate politics over economic prosperity.
