I don't decide which one or where. That is what the purpose of government is. Open them and use them.

You answered right away with a one-liner without even reading and considering the article I posted.

Not sure what you mean by fraction of what we used to harvest. What are you talking about? I never said there is some big new resource renaissance on the horizon. Read what I just posted. PM Carney sounds like he is going to do some things to develop our economy, but I am not sure exactly what he means. He has a history of supporting Trudeau's anti energy industry policies. Guess we will see what he does. So far he has said little or nothing about what he will change.

" How Canada’s Energy Sector Has Struggled Under Liberal Environmental Policies and Missed Opportunities for Global Leadership Since the Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, took power in 2015, Canada’s energy sector has faced significant challenges due to the government's focus on environmental protection and regulatory reform. While the government argues these measures are necessary to combat climate change, critics contend that these policies have slowed or halted major energy projects, preventing Canada from reaching its full potential as a global energy leader. The influence of key advisors, such as former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, has further reinforced a policy direction that prioritizes climate action over resource development. As a result, Canada has struggled to capitalize on its vast energy resources at a time when global demand remains high. Missed Opportunities: Could Canada Have Been an Energy Superpower? " How Canada’s Energy Sector Has Struggled Under Liberal Environmental Policies and Missed… | by Dr. Ravinder Tulsiani | Medium PM Carney has supported the Trudeau /Liberal's anti energy industry agenda all along. Now that he became PM in the face of Trump tariffs, he suddenly sounds like he is going to develop Canada's energy and other natural resource industries. Is he telling the truth, or is it a half truth or is he really going to make a 180 degree shift in Liberal policies and abandon their anti-energy policies. Did he say anything about abolishing the anti-pipeline law C69?

huh???? What are you trying to say?

"Canada's resource industries are key to economic growth12. They contribute 14.9% of Canada's GDP, with the energy industry alone accounting for half of resource output1. Nearly one in ten jobs are related to resources, employing 1.3 million Canadians1. Canada's comparative advantage in trade depends heavily on its resource sector, which accounted for 58% of all merchandise exports in 20231. Natural resources support 3 million jobs across Canada, or 1 in 7 jobs, or 15% of all jobs nationwide2. They generated $464 billion in real gross domestic product in 2023, accounting for approximately 21% of the national economy2. The natural resource industries offer annual wages that pay $25,000 more than the national average2."

Exactly. That's an example that shows clearly that the justice system, which is supposed to protect society, is in a serious failed state. Anybody that is charged with a violent criminal offence and found to be guilty as a result of a mental illness, should automatically be committed to a mental institution.

I asked you what jobs you think would replace our resource industries and you didn't answer.

Practically all of the lefties/liberals on here are just trolls.

Good points but I think they are falling on deaf ears. He doesn't care. Only on here to troll. That's his way of entertaining himself.

You are a troll. You know the only purpose of trolls is to provoke and cause trouble.

I find you are more of an internet troll than a serious contributor. I know you don't agree with what I say and are an opponent of my understanding the Bible. You are a Romanist after all and a diehard liberal. Romanists reject the Bible and believe man's reasoning is superior, just like liberals. I have tried to help you and point you in the right direction (the King James Bible), but you reject it. You are correct, I am in the minority, but what does that prove? Nothing.

" The most classic adage regarding trolling is, "Don't feed the trolls." Trolls seek out emotional responses and find provocation amusing, so replying to them or attempting to debate them will only make them troll more. By ignoring a troll completely, they will likely become frustrated and go somewhere else on the internet. You should try your best not to take anything trolls say seriously. No matter how poorly they behave, remember these people spend countless unproductive hours trying to make people mad. They're not worth your time of day. If a troll becomes spammy or begins to clog up a thread, you can also opt to report them to the site's moderation team. Depending on the website, there's a chance nothing happens, but you should do your part to actively dissuade them from trolling on that platform. If your report is successful, the troll may be temporarily suspended or their account might be banned entirely." What Is an Internet Troll? (and How to Handle Trolls) Best solution on this forum is simply to put trolls on the ignore list.

You are nothing but an internet troll.

Study finds paper straws higher in cancer-causing chemicals than plastic | True North It Turns Out Paper Straws Might Pose a Serious Problem Too : ScienceAlert Do plastic bottles cause cancer? | Plastic and cancer Scientists warn paper straws pose major risks to human health | News Tech | Metro News You should do a little reading sometime instead of barking out nonsense all the time.

I read it but you don't seem to understand what I said. Your insults are worthless garbage.

No, I don't think that is correct. When a province decides to separate, it is not a Constitutional amendment they are seeking. There would have to be negotiations between the federal government and other provinces. If your idea were attempted, that could force a province to not negotiate and simply declare itself as independent.

hahahhahaha. I thought you knew what you were talking about. You seem to think they are independent and not under the provincial (and federal) government authority.

When they are given some land, it is not talking about them having a sovereign country. I am not sure what land you are talking about exactly. They don't have a sovereign country on some piece of land. It is still under the authority of the province and subject to provincial and federal laws. They are only given use of some land for certain purposes, not to be a separate country. So if a province separates, they don't have any say in it. But if you like to argue go for it.

I am not sure that using plastic straws puts chemical in our bodies. I have not heard that claim. I would oppose imposing more extreme regulations and costs on Canadians to do useless things that just create more bureaucracy and expense for taxpayers and others. Canada is great at being Socialistic and bureaucratic. That is costing the people a lot and is another reason housing is so expensive in Canada now. Liberals and left have a tendency to regulate everything to death, put charges, fees, permits on everything and create vast regulations. I think we should be on our guard against that. Governments at all levels have a tendency to do that. That is great for government unions workers and employees as it creates more work, but it makes everyone else poorer.

Isn't that what I told you before?

Do you think the FNs allowed BC to become a British colony? Did FN allow BC to join confederation? FN had no say in it. FN might have something to say about it, but they don't get to make the decision. If there was a referendum, individuals might get a vote the same as non-natives but they don't decide themselves.

Here's an example. Do you think a province has the right to decide to separate?

You of course never said anything incorrect.
