Prime Minister Mark Carney listed the Pacific Link oil pipeline from Alberta to the West Coast as a project of national interest on Oct. 1, 2026. Friends of Science Society argues that climate-risk frameworks used by OSFI (Canada’s financial regulator) and the NGFS (global network for greener finance) rely on outdated or implausible assumptions. The group says retired emissions scenarios, the retraction of Kotz et al. (2024), and pressure for banks and insurers to reject conventional-energy financing or impose higher borrowing costs could create obstacles for the project. It also criticizes carbon trading, carbon-removal plans, Net Zero policies and RBC’s approach, while promoting a Nov. 16, 2026, Calgary event featuring Anthony Watts.
