About f$%king time. This sicko ran the whole "pandemic".

The files may bring down the UK government. Rumor is that Starmer will be forced to resign. Mandelson already has, I believe.

Nenshi (affectionately known in Alberta as "Nenshit") is taking ivermectin for his puffy face. I thought it was just "horse dewormer"????? Nenshi says heβs using ivermectin to treat a rare face disease

It's mainly the Liberal gov't. That was straight from Kinder Morgan. If Trudeau had wanted it, he would've made sure BC didn't block it and he would have stopped funding the protesters. He didn't. I don't care what Trudeau or Carney SAYS. It's their actions that matter.

The 12-yr-old thinks the BC gov't controls Canada's entire regulatory environment. π€£ OR. You could quit voting in the Liberals.

Ya, I'm aware that part of it was the BC gov't. I'm from Alberta. I know what happened. I don't know where you're getting your quotes from because you don't cite anything, I suspect you quickly googled something and copy & pasted whatever the first line was, like you usually do. Or maybe ChatGPT. Kinder Morgan said publicly stated they withdrew because the environment in Canada made it impossible to complete major energy infrastructure projects. I know you worship the Liberals, but honestly, dude. Give it up. It's the Liberal gov't that has sabotaged industry in this country. We all know it. There was more to the opposition to the pipeline than just the BC gov't. π Read the WHOLE story.

Are Alberta Separatists Committing Treason?

I remember this π€£ We were all like, "WTF??" -
The Liberal government is like a highway department that only installs speed bumps. They don't fill potholes, they don't upgrade infrastructure. They take functioning stretches of road and make them unusable with mounds of asphalt. Is it any wonder our economy is circling the toilet bowl?

Via James E. Thorpe, on the Glencoe/Quebec thing: For the record. Global capital just handed Ottawa the verdict the political class keeps dodging: Canada is no longer a serious jurisdiction for largeβscale resource investment, itβs a cautionary tale. Glencore suspending nearly a billion dollars in planned investment at Horne, Canadaβs largest copper metal operation, is not an βunfortunate dispute,β itβs a red card for a country that thinks narratives can substitute for net present value. For years, Canadians have been told that the country is a βcritical minerals superpower in waitingβ while federal and provincial regimes wrapped every project in layers of regulatory ambiguity, shifting targets, and performative climate posturing. Now one of the worldβs biggest commodity houses is openly saying it cannot get the conditions required to proceed, demobilizing capital and contractors at a key copper smelter and scaling back at its Montreal refinery. That is not a communications problem; it is a sovereignβrisk problem priced in by balance sheets, not speeches. The timing could not be more damning: in a world obsessing over copper scarcity, with forecasts of global deficits and tight North American supply, Canada is managing to lose investment in its largest copper metal facility because it cannot deliver regulatory clarity or costβeffective compliance. This is exactly the opposite of what a rational, opportunityβseeking state would do; it is what a complacent, narrativeβdrunk polity does when it mistakes ESG panel applause for an industrial strategy. Carneyβs Davosβstyle happy talk about fastβtracking investment and building critical mineral capacity was already straining credulity; Glencoreβs move rips the faΓ§ade off. You do not βfastβtrack a trillion dollarsβ while marquee operators are suspending emissions and upgrade projects and hinting at outright closure if conditions do not change before new rules hit. This is not a sequencing issue; it is a fundamental incoherence between elite rhetoric and the actual investment climate facing anyone who has to sign a multiβdecade, multiβbillionβdollar cheque. Bay Street, which has spent years nodding along with Ottawaβs performative policies, now finds itself staring at the obvious: if Venezuela can be rehabilitated enough to send barrels back to the Gulf Coast while Canada scares off copper and coal capital, the problem is not βglobal headwinds,β it is domestic policy failure. The country has squandered a onceβinβaβgeneration advantage in resources, logistics, and rule of law, and replaced it with legal risk, regulatory roulette, and selfβcongratulation. This is why Glencoreβs suspension matters far beyond RouynβNoranda. It is a liveβfire stress test of Canadaβs entire model: if the political class insists on everβtighter, everβmurkier constraints while pretending to court capital, global players will simply redeploy to jurisdictions that may be rougher around the edges but at least understand that projects have to clear in cashβflow terms. Canada is discovering, painfully, that global capital does not buy βstory stocksβ in perpetuity; it marks them to reality.

Hey, believe what you want to believe, my dude. I personally don't believe billionaires and Big Pharma have my best interests at heart. Bless you, that you think they do. You're a special kind of stupid. -
When Canada is dead, mark my words, Carney will bugger off to the US. That's where all his investments are. That's where his family lives.

$0 tax payer money would have been needed if the Liberal government had not continually impeded the project. The Liberals didn't just screw over Alberta, they screwed over all Canadians. This s how Alberta knows that the Libs are lying about wanting to turn Canada into an "energy superpower". That is not what they want. They never have. They don't want any industry in Canada. It's why they're sabotaging everything now. Carney isn't here to save Canada. He's here to drain the last of the country's coffers for his billionaire banker friends and preside over the collapse, all while whispering sweet nothings into the boomer's ears.

Because the Liberals made it impossible to complete the project. Ya, ding-dong. That's the point. π The "investor uncertainty" was regulatory and political opposition. They publicly stated they withdrew because the environment in Canada made it impossible to complete major energy infrastructure projects. the Liberal gov't caused delay after delay after delay. Delays cost money. When Kinder Morgan asked for assurances there would be no further delays, the government refused to provide them.

And they just did the same thing to Quebec. $1 billion in investment. Gone. Glencore halts major Quebec smelter investment over emissions rules dispute | BOE Report Not that Quebec will care. They get the vast majority of money from Alberta.

No. We had a private investor. Ottawa chased them away by making it impossible to build and by introducing laws that made it impossible to ship the oil anywhere and by funding protesters. Then Ottawa realized, "Oh, damn. This is critical infrastructure." Took over the project, ballooned the costs - taxpayers on the hook. Then kept all the regulations, rules & laws (and added new ones) so no other private investor would ever want to do a project in Canada. Why the hell would Alberta be grateful?

It had a private investor. Why did they have to withdraw, forcing the government to complete the project?

Not sure about that. More from the right, than the left, spoke out about certain things and were called Nazi, racist, bigot, etc. The rest didn't want to be name-called and have their careers ruined. Pretty much everyone on the right is just done with it all and doesn't give a rip anymore what the left calls them. I'm starting to wonder how many on the left actually agreed with so much of the stuff that was pushed. Some of my friends who identify left are now backtracking and saying, "Well, I never agreed with it all." But they kept quiet because they also didn't want to be called names. So when you say "both sides believed it more than now", I'm starting to think it was only a fringe minority (hee hee hee) that believed any of it. The media plays a large role in making it seem like these minorities are the majority, but they're not.

Did we learn nothing from the Terminator movies?

My feeling is that N. America has never been this divided politically, polarized. What would you call the 2 opposites? I don't recall you calling for compromise when the left was ruling the roost.

https://energynow.ca/2025/01/ditched-resource-projects-an-estimated-670-billion-of-investment-lost-in-ditched-resource-projects-since-trudeau-became-prime-minister/ $670 billion in investment fled Canada during 2015-2025. No amount of Albertan talk of independence can cause this more than 11 years of Liberal economic sabotage.

No. You just twist them into pretzels. -

Well, your knowledge level consists of CBC headlines and "I always do what I'm told to do without questioning anything", so your opinion doesn't impress me much. -
Thanks, Captain Obvious. π

That's basically Canada, in a nutshell.
