    From your source, not as simple as you try to make out.

    Poilievre said four things stand in the way of the second facility being built.

    He blamed the industrial carbon tax, plans for an emissions cap on the oil and gas sector and Bill C-69, the Impact Assessment Act. The same federal regulations were among those cited in a recent letter to political leaders from oil and gas executives who identified them as a barrier to growing the energy sector, including LNG terminals.

    Poilievre also said a requirement that future LNG development in B.C. run on renewable energy — a provision made by B.C.’s provincial government in 2023 that Poilievre blamed on federal Liberal policies — was standing in the way of LNG Canada Phase 2.

    “The project will not go ahead if it cannot run on natural gas. It won’t happen,” Poilievre said. “When the Liberals say that they’re going to ban LNG Canada from using gas to power the plant, what they’re saying is the plant will not be allowed to happen.”

    While the federal government sets things like carbon emissions targets and clean energy regulations, it doesn’t have a say in how companies power their projects.

    oh look, @herbie lied. I'm shocked. Were you shocked? I was shocked.

    PP receives nod from some of Canadas largest banking firms, along with several investment firms they are saying PP is the best bet to bring Canada's economy back on track....Something Carney has been touting that he is the best option as he was a banker....well it seems his peers have other ideas...

    Business leaders, ex-bank heads throw support behind Poilievre with open letter

    And honestly this is why people are having a tough time with the poles right now. Business is lining up behind the conservatives, trade unions are lining up behind the conservatives in large numbers, people are turning out to the rallies and record numbers, even when searches are way higher for Poilievre and from what I'm hearing the door knocking is going very well for the conservatives

    That just doesn't line up with the idea that they are badly trailing a guy who's attendance at rallies is measured in dozens and who's made so many screw ups and had so much negative press.

    In normal times there’d be a call for an investigation into the potential for massive insider trading here but it’s not the main story. In the 1956 Suez Crisis, Eisenhower threatened to sell sterling bonds, forcing the British to abandon the canal. It was the end of Britain as a great power. Incredibly, Trump may have initiated a loss of trust in the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. He feels it’s overvalued and he may get his wish. What an agent of chaos and ruin he has always been.

    I think we're probably a little ways away from the abandonment of America and the dollar as an anchor currency. But there's no doubt it has shaken people's confidence in it a little and that does have ramifications

    No such luck: it's maple maga that is throwing around lies, division and hatred here, in Canada.

    Yes, they are doing it by choice, consciously and deliberately.

    No: nobody made them follow a pathological liar, convicted rapist and scoundrel, also a wannabe dictator.

    No, no way and no such luck: they chose it, freely and consciously having other options and choices. And they only have to carry full responsibility for their choices. This is how this reality works.

    Sure sure kid, i'm sure that superman could beat wolverine or whatever you're talking about. Yawn!

    BTW, we Canadians often vote across religious/language lines.

    No we don't. There are no religious parties and the closest thing we've got to a language party only runs in one province

    The first premier of Ontario was a Roman Catholic:

    In the 1890s, our first federal Roman Catholic Prime Minister was a Conservative: John Thompson

    Our first federal francophone PM was Wilfrid Laurier. People across Canada voted for him in 1896. He was Catholic.

    He is on our five dollar bill.

     

    I'm not interested in your weird thoughts on your imaginary friend. If you want to have some sort of religious belief you go right ahead but it's got nothing to do with Canada or it's politics. 

    One more thing we don't get along over i guess.

    We Canadians have a civilised society: a federal state with two federal official languages, and no official cultural.

     

     

    How civilized is a society that lets murderers out the day they're caught on parole? How civilized is a country that constantly votes in corrupt gov'ts that steal from the people and the poor to line their own pockets when they leave office? How civilized are we when a group of dumbass french people steal money from the rest of the country for years and have nothing but hatred for that country as a reasult of that generosity?

    How are you defining 'Civilized'?

    Quote

    Imagine.

    People can't afford homes. Or food. They feel they have no future.  We are so weak even our allies attack us. Our population is so stupid that they keep voting for corruption. 

    And the french are so dumb they live in a seperatist province and try to claim we all get along. 🙄🙄🙄

    We do not get along. We are getting along less and less. Hopefully when we break up it'll be more peaceful, but we don't get along and that will never change while easterners like you pretend otherwise.

    Many EnglishCanadians -women in particular- are voting anti-Trump, anti-American.

    The federal Liberals are using this nationalistic card - "the federal Liberals are Canada".

    Carney may win with it.

    With Singh, the NDP cannot play the nationalist card.

    The Bloc?

    I fear this kind of politics.

    We don't get along and I don't know why you insist on lying about it

    These are two separate items:

    1. Is there climate emergency and should we do what it takes to help the environment and climate recover?

    2. Was carbon pricing achieving any environmental protection function and should it continue?

    On 1, I am sure most would agree the answer is Yes.

    On 2, most will agree the answer is No.

    There you have it with few words.

    Actually more and more are beginning to doubt number one. If that were true why didn't the liberals take it seriously in the last 10 years? Presumably they have access to even more science than the average individual and yet they did nothing substantial to try and address the issue in any meaningful way.

    I also noticed that a number of people including myself here very frequently ask those who say that it is a climate emergency to provide any scientific research That shows that it is a climate emergency and an urgent circumstance or to provide any evidence whatsoever that anything we could possibly do would make a difference. Despite numerous conversations with people who supposedly are knowledgeable and pretend to care not one has ever produced a single scientific document or research showing that it is a climate emergency at all .  Just websites that say 'trust the science' without providing any science,  or graphs about carbon without any science attached. 

    But hey  maybe you can break the cycle !   Could you post some actual research papers that conclusively demonstrate this is an emergency and even better something that would show we could do anything about it?

    but yes, it would seem that people have realized that carbon taxes were useless. But seeing as the government and Kearney are so adamant about them, knowing that they are useless, and yet they did nothing else you have to wonder if there really is a  climate emergency  They certainly don't seem to think so

     

  10. Canada Proud is dominating Facebook ahead of the election - The Logic

    Canada Proud is dominating Facebook ahead of the election

    By James Temperton Mar 31, 2025 | 1:55 PM ET
    Conservative advocacy group Canada Proud is dominating the discussion of the federal election on Facebook and Instagram as the Meta-owned platforms continue to block the sharing of all news content in Canada.
     
    Did the liberals shoot themselves in the foot?
    By banning canadian news on the american platform The liberals may very well have opened the door to Canada proud, which is a strong conservative group, to dominate Facebook as the official news source so to speak of the Canadian election.
     
    According to the article canada proud and it's comments and content are vastly out trending other sources on Facebook
    It will be absolutely hilarious if the liberal policy that Justin Trudeau demanded was necessary turns out to play a significant role in the destruction of the liberals

    And here we go again Mark Carney will try to convince the globe that carbon pricing is the next new thing....DId justin not already try and sell them on carbon pricing....not like this....Carneys carbon pricing will be more confusing, more double speak so no one understands what it is trying to do....it's is the liberals carbon pricing with a huge amount of lipstick on it...and it is designed once again to punish all those that take part in it...And liberal voters are eating this up....like a fat kid eating smarties...

    Terence Corcoran: Mark Carney’s plan for ‘superpower’ Canada tricks voters

    I have no doubt that right now the liberals are not sitting back and thinking that the carbon tax was a mistake, they are saying that doing it in a way that Canadians could see it on a regular basis was a mistake. I have no doubt that they will say they are going to put a price on carbon in that at saving the universe but then bury it somewhere where everyone can forget about it and yet it will pour money into their coffers to be able to funnel into worldwide groups and Charities and climate activists organizations which will all hire him as a board member when he retires from politics and he will make tens of millions a year for doing absolutely nothing. Which is what Justin Trudeau is doing right now

    Which basically means at the end of the day the liberal party has discovered a way to turn the population into serfs who labor for their benefit and richness just like in the old days and yet somehow made it socially acceptable

    OK who is dumb, naive or lying here to be clueless about the difference:

    "Some group posted a picture with <> on their site" and

    "<> had a set meeting with the group"

    Please don't be shy, step forward and raise your hand. We would like to know you (though have a pretty good idea).

    Only one person lied about it. Well other than you I mean, carney said he'd never heard of them any very clearly had considering you had a meeting with them.

    The guy's been in politics for like 2 months and is told and more lies than the average politician manages in a Career

    How do you know ^this?

    I was able to time the market for major highs and major lows for 40 years.

    I sold all my investments just a month before the 1987 crash, and called every major shift for the next 40 years.

    Only quit after the 2nd half of Trump 45 when I sold everything because the market was too chaotic.

    Major shifts are relatively easy; I call it the "too good to be true" trading strategy.

    This last week was the first time I re-entered the market. TBD.

     

    Sure. That's every bit as believable as you being a computer genius  :)  You were the one who invented the internet right?

  15. Carney attacked for wanting 'free ride,' 'hiding' from public amid latest campaign break | CBC News

    Every time try carney gets to look like a prime minister he has got a bump in the poles, so it's natural that this time that he's beginning to slunk in the polls he's trying to hide and look Prime ministerial again By pretending to work on important government work.

    But I think it's actually backfiring this time. He looks like he's trying to avoid people. And the media isn't making him look Prime ministerial, it's just making him look absent and others are noticing.

    I think the liberal polling suggests that he is a lot weaker than people think and that he may be running into trouble. They seem very eager to get him out of the public light right now and get away from all these gaffes
