It completely wiped out the carbon savings that the government earned when it planted 2 billion trees during Trudeau’s second term in office. February 12, 2020 – As political and regional lines are drawn in the battle for hearts and minds over the proposed Teck Frontier oil sands mine, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney warned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this week that rejecting the project may represent “a boiling point’ for western alienation. "The company didn't answer specific questions about the way the Alberta government is handling accommodation with ACFN.David Thurton is a national reporter in CBC's Parliamentary Bureau. The last three decades can only be described as climate chaos. "We recognize that Chief Adam intends to drive a hard bargain, as should any official representing his constituents," said Jess Sinclair, press secretary to Alberta's environment minister. The Frontier Oil Sands Mine Project, proposed by Teck Resources Limited includes the construction, operation and reclamation of an oil sands surface mine with a production capacity of about 260,000 barrels per day of bitumen. The environmental assessment under the "For sure, I saw delays written in that letter, assuming that becomes accepted by the government of Canada," Lee said.This could "buy" the Liberals time to address the concerns surrounding the controversial oilsands project, which has become a "hot potato" for the government, Lee said.Teck Resources public relations manager Chris Stannell said in a statement the company is focused on "advancing Teck Frontier through the regulatory review process to achieve project approval. The Teck Frontier mine would cover 24,000 hectares — an area twice the size of the City of Vancouver — and would produce 260,000 barrels of bitumen each day at its peak. And, while the mine helped put some people to work, it put Alberta on a pathway for the worst oil bust in the province’s history. On a trip through Western Canada, Trudeau and his Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland faced protests at every stop as firefighters, Indigenous peoples and local communities joined massive climate strikes, outraged that the government continued to push fossil fuel expansion in the midst of a crisis.Freeland, once thought to be the next leader of the Liberal party, became so unpopular with young voters that she left politics before the next election. It was a harbinger of 2021 and 2022, when fires like the 2019 Australia blazes and 2018 California fires engulfed western and northern Canada.In the midst of these disasters, Trudeau and his cabinet defended their decision to pour fuel on the flames of the climate emergency by approving the Teck Frontier mine. Imagine it’s 2050.

The author is a bit puzzling in his framing of Teck vs Green-New-Deal as an either/or; there's no actual conflict.

However, I also think that the Alberta government, which is definitely owned by big oil, will pour the pension money of Albertans and whatever is left of the Heritage Fund into subsidizing the project. Government decisions could bring communities across Canada together to build a world-leading high speed rail network that moves people, not oil. But Adam, who also appeared on “The only person that’s holding up the Teck Resource approval in my view...is the Alberta government,” said Chief Allan Adam of Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN). "The Alberta government is killing its own oilsands project by not negotiating with ACFN," Adam said at that time. Instead of widening the already enormous gap between the ultra rich and the rest of us, they could create millions of good unionized jobs, expand universal social services and secure a healthier environment in the process.Instead of shackling our politics with years of pipeline quagmires, our government could follow through on its promises to respect Indigenous rights and sovereignty.
Just a few months after Trudeau’s cabinet greenlit the project, floodwaters raged across the Ottawa valley for the second year in a row.

The situation could’ve been curbed, but instead of helping working people, Premier Jason Kenney emptied the provincial coffers by giving massive handouts to Big Oil, propping up projects like the Teck mine.But that’s only part of the story. Instead of continuing to push fossil fuel expansion, they could go all in on a made-in-Canada Green New Deal. The $20.6-billion project from Vancouver-based Teck Resources would disturb 292 square kilometres of pristine wetlands and boreal forest — an area half the size of the city of Edmonton — over its 40-year lifespan, although the whole area won't be mined at once.The federal cabinet has until the end of February to make a decision.
