The decision by Ottawa to buy the Trans Mountain pipeline from Kinder Morgan for $4.5 billion dollars is one that has raised some eyebrows. The Conservatives and NDP both say the deal was a bad one and will not advance the project as the government hopes, while others are saying the money could have been spent elsewhere. Regina Liberal MP Ralph Goodale says the investment made is a solid one. He says it will create $7 billion worth of investment, 15,000 jobs, and it will give access for canadian resources to global markets and prices that we have never had access to before. Goodale says this is an investment in Canada’s future.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
