Just Not ready

[Topper]

Ford also slammed Carney for approval of the Ring of Fire mines.

Mulcair is a personal friend of Carney.

Parliamentary Budget Officer reports the production cap on oil and gas that the Liberals have proposed will create;

54,000+ job losses

$21B loss in GDP

But I’m sure with Carney’s resume this is the best course of action for Canadian economic recovery and stability.

Right Rik?

Carney, the guy who two weeks ago said he'll shift the consumer carbon tax to industries like steel mills.

This morning visited a Hamilton steel mill to say how he is protecting jobs.

[Topper]

Guillebault admitted that the automatic increase to the carbon tax on April 1 or a change away from a consumer carbon tax to a higher industrial carbon tax can not happen without changing the legislation in a sitting House of Commons.

Changes to a tax bill would be a vote of confidence.

Rumours that an election to be called on Monday.

Just received a text from our local MP office confirming that rumour Tops. Asking if I could count on support in an election that likely to be called.

Local is NDP. I told him to pound sand.

As a sustaining donor to the Conservative Party for years, I'm use to mailouts and phone calls always with a reason why the Party desperately needs more of my money even in spite of the fact they've already taken in record contributions, but its seems that since Carney came onto the scene the amount of solicitation has gone thru the roof...

Desperation has definately set in and social media posts like this are likely contributing to their anxiety...

I'm glad to see they didn't forget PP's paperboy job and I hadn't realized that it took him 11 years to complete a 4 year University program...

After seeing that I called my daughter and congratulated her for getting her MBA in less than 3 years while working full time....

You forgot to share the rest of the findings...

Among the PBO’s findings were that an oil and gas emissions cap could reduce the country’s GDP by $20 billion, and result in more than 40,000 jobs lost. But a cost-benefit analysis could clarify that economic picture. For example, Navius Research estimates that clean energy’s contribution to GDP could leap more than $25 billion and support 639,000 jobs by 2030 — offsetting the loss in the fossil fuel sector.

But, no one listens to them if they don't like the answers

Very interesting move by Danielle Smith the other day to allow and option for petro miners to pay the Alberta government's royalty in bitumen instead cash. This would give the government a stake in the petroleum export market..

Smith also signed an MOU with Japan's State owned natural gas company for export of LNG.

As for the Freedom Convoy, legality aside I think organizors should be required to pay the cost to police it and to clean up after it and make whole any individual or business who suffered financial losses because of it.....

Does that apply to all protests? Including Campuses?

What is the criteria used to determine if organizers pay or who is an organizer?

It seems well intentioned but I see a tool easy to abuse.

Sorry Tciso, just saw this....

Yes, I just think if you or I want to protest that comes with an obligation to cover the cost to the taxpayers including on campuses...

Especially if they are deemed illegal....

How you enforce payment is something I haven't thought thru, but in the examples I gave identifying who the organizers were shouldn't be a problem...

I wonder how much co ordination between Government, First Nations and the private sector is happening with the MOU's being signed?

Another MOU with Japan;

Energy for a Secure Future (ESF), the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan (IEEJ), and the First Nations LNG Alliance have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to increase energy trade between Canada and Japan. The MOU was signed at the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo

Or is this the same MOU that Smith was involved in?

Old Ham smokes a LOT of pot.

But nothing pissed ol Ham off more than hearing about the 420 events at Sunset Beach where no one cleaned up.

That's fucking bush league entitlement bullshit. My pops taught me to clean up after myself when doing said illegal (at the time) activity.

Same goes for any other demonstration. You don't just get to trash something because you disagree with the government.

Don't even get me started on setting fire to a city because boo hoo, we lost a hockey game. Fucking losers deserve everything they got and more.

You thought the government over reached during Covid...well the majority of Canadians would tell you to wake up...

I don’t think the majority would actually.

Rikster not only speaks for "world leaders and the business (sic) communities"

... he also speaks for "the majority of Canadians".

I could probably name a hundred acquaintances that were anti Vax, or against the ridiculous punishment inflicted on the untaxed, or those who declined to show their medical status. It's a pretty big portion of the population.

And, before you ask, I was 100% against making the vaccine mandatory. I only got the vaccine to keep my wife quiet. But, I boycotted any place requiring you show your status.

I can't think of anyone in my social circle who had a problem with the vaccines or the mandates...

And I think the fact that a minority of Canadians were opposed to the vaccine mandate just speaks to the 85/15 rule....No matter what the issue some 15% of the population will be opposed....

I read John Barrys book "1918 The Great Influenza" early on and that pandemic played out pretty much how ours did....like the 2019 pandemic the 1918 pandemic had politicians weaponizing it for political gain and a small percentage who fought against the Governments efforts to deal with it...

There are documented occurrences during the bombing of Britain in WW2 where some houses chose not to follow the blackout mandate.

I bet their neighbours were PISSED.
