Carney’s Pipeline Promises Seem To Be Lost In Translation

Canadian Liberal leadership frontrunner Mark Carney faces accusations of doublespeak after making contradictory statements about pipeline development in English and French.

Carney told English-speaking audiences he would accelerate pipeline approvals across Canada, while telling French speakers he would not proceed without Quebec’s consent, according to videos circulating on social media.

“We as a nation need to build some new pipelines for conventional energy,” Carney said in English, pledging to speed up the approval process for both pipeline and clean energy projects.

In French-language remarks, Carney promised not to impose any pipeline without Quebec’s agreement, a stance first highlighted by Conservative MP Pierre Paul-Hus.

Pipeline expansion remains a divisive issue in Canadian politics, with a recent Angus Reid Institute survey showing strong support across most provinces but weaker backing in Quebec.

Carney competes with four other candidates in the March 9 Liberal leadership convention, which will determine who leads the party into the next federal election.
