That's quite the rant. I don't recall much talk at all around BLM or patronizing to blacks as of late so other than your bigotry, not sure where that comes from within this thread. And of course you need to reference trans because that's the US style politics you've been influenced to spout. I don't snivel about that at all. I just find it odd and more so disappointing that we have a faction in this country that has digressed to the narratives that Trump has perpetuated and Poilievre try's to emulate. Enjoy that, just not for me...

Try saying something original... Keep telling yourself you're educated.... I'm guessing making it to grade 8 was a monumental accomplishment for you.

Soudas is spot on... Poilievre's entire schtick is anger and soundbites with little substance. That works for those who enjoy anger and divisiveness but doesn't play well with the majority of Canadian's who have seen enough of this in US politics and don't want/need it here. I'm not even remotely close to a Trudeau fan but find it comical the amount of space that Trudeau continues to occupy in this guys and his supporters heads. He has nothing else so might as well be angry about the last 10 years of Trudeau and find fault when and where he can with Carney to create those soundbites he believes keep him somewhat relevant. For a career politician you'd think his instincts would be better... His political career has plateaued. He's simply not likeable as the election and every single poll show, and is most certainly not a person the majority of Canadian's want or will likely ever want as the face of the country.

No, what's killing the country is peeps like you walking around talking US politic slogans like wokeness and complaining that immigrants don't have the same colour of skin as us white folk. Maybe as you age you'll realize that people are people regardless of colour or religion...?

You quit responding because you can't answer simple questions that conflict with your right wing devotion. Minions don't think, they just follow... High fives with little buddy CdnFox 😂

Mentioned a few times to you that your trolling has got to the point that you're running out of material... for future reference, Oak is a hardwood and sequoia's are not abundant and doesn't make good lumber. The US needs Canadian softwood lumber, which is why 80% of the material imports come from here.

Because softwoods (pine, fir, spruce, etc) are more abundant and cost less than hardwoods which are typically used in finishing. We're in the 21st century, not the British colonial era.

You're an uneducated fool. Stay indoors with the curtains closed so the liberals don't find you.

If you would have stayed in school you would realize that you have no question... only jackàss comments. Your uneducated mind and comments are of little interest to me...

Minion - a survile follower... which is you to a tee Won't and/or can't answer questions, can't think for yourself... a waste of time

So, no answer... didn't think so. Listen to yourself... Trump's not the problem then it's Trump's not helping. Trump's the ONLY reason we have tariffs that are hurting those industries and people who work in them. Nobody is disputing we have problems. That's why Trudeau stepped down and we elected another PM 6 months ago. If you think it took 10 years to break the country then you'd also think it has to take longer than 6 months to fix it, wouldn't you. Goalposts indeed...

Excellent... It's in my portfolio. How do you think Poilievre would have had this resolved by now... what would it look like. Trump's hell bent on the auto, steel, aluminum, lumber, and furniture industries. Think Poilievre would have talked us out of all that?

Immigration numbers are being decreased as are international student and TFW numbers. Not nearly enough is only your portion and not that of the provinces or business. And yes, multi-billions in investment for low carbon projects...that's a bad thing right. And no, carbon tax is not why we're here right now. We have new leadership in Ottawa that is infinitely more qualified than what the minority party could offer so we'll see where that leads us. You had no point...those are just the same soundbites.

A fascination that minions like you adore him while he tries to break our economy. Not that fascinating actually...

The strange fascination that many 'Canadians' here have for Trump won't allow them to comment... until they find a reason why the new tariffs on softwood lumber are Carney's or Trudeau's fault.

You confirmed my comment... can't fix it. We're an emitter of greenhouse gases and are doing the right thing for the world in trying to reduce those. That's not stupid, it's being responsible. China is still a developing nation that has also has also invested $6.8Trillion in clean renewable energy projects. What does that tell you for future of energy in that country? The need for fossil fuels is not going away any time soon, it's just becoming less and will continue to as energy projects shift towards renewable projects. Climate change is unequivocal. Next subject...

lol... he's said immigration numbers are not sustainable and need to be more focused. He's already ahead of you on international students cutting it back 10% this year. TFW's will be brought in as needed. Cancelling the industrial carbon tax isn't that easy with billions of dollars in assets invested in low carbon projects. Easy for you to say eliminate the tanker ban since you don't live in the coast and depend on the waters and land for your livelihood.

Robo, old saying 'you can't fix stupid'... Move on from these 3 clowns, they're beyond repair.

Is it a prerequisite of the Maga cult to ignorantly deny anything and everything that has to do with clean energy, the climate and vaccines? Get your head out of your ass... Solar panels are tried, tested and proven technology that has been around for decades. There is as much risk with a solar panel as there is with bad or faulty wiring. Hail damage is non-existent unless the hail is bigger than 1' in diameter then most everything else the hail hits like cars is going to get damaged. The maintenance of cleaning a solar panel is not insurmountable... think cleaning your windows. Lithium battery storage adds no more fire hazard than the furnace in your home and whatever you're trying to talk about with silicone carbide is just that...whatever. Here is where you minions always stay on script and go sideways... Anything having to do with clean energy of course has to be because we're all concerned with saving the planet. There is a lot of validity to that but adding solar panels is also a cost benefit to the homeowner with typical break even on the investment in 6 - 10 years then after that, it's 'free' electricity. It add's value to the home for resale and yes, it does help the environment. Is that a bad thing?

She's a self-serving politician that cares only about her needs, which is typical and understandable. So is Eby who is concerned that she's trying to blow up FN's trust by running roughshod which could potentially affect LNG projects BC has on the coast, which FN's support. Carney never promised anything. He said he would support pipelines if the consensus exists for one... which there obviously isn't here. It doesn't matter if those FN's support it, it matters that the Coastal FN's whose land it is doesn't support it.

Name one of the ideas. Just one...

Nobody is killing anything... Smith is doing nothing more than playing politics with this so-called 'test'. This is written by Andrew Coyne Globe & Mail, who is very much a conservative but doesn't seem too impressed with how Smith has approached this... Danielle Smith’s pipeline ransom note to Mark Carney is using Canada as her hostage Here’s the to-do list Danielle Smith has set for Mark Carney. He has to: [] approve her proposal to build a pipeline from Alberta to the northern coast of British Columbia that has no private sector sponsor and no declared route; [] push it through over the strenuous objections of the government of B.C., environmental organizations, and the affected Indigenous groups, all of whom are sure to do everything they can to stop the project: legally, politically, and physically; and [] sweep away a raft of federal laws and regulations said to be responsible for the lack of private sector interest, including the cap on oil-sands emissions, the Impact Assessment Act and the ban on large oil tankers off the B.C. coast. And he has to commit to doing all this inside of five weeks – in time to include the pipeline on a list of “major projects” receiving federal backing, to be released mid-November. The proposal will not be submitted to the federal Major Projects Office until May. Still, the Alberta Premier says she needs “a signal” of federal intentions before then. Oh, one more thing: If he does not agree to every line of this ultimatum, it will not only be the Prime Minister’s credibility that is in question, according to Ms. Smith, but Canada itself. “This is a test,” she declared, “of whether Canada works as a country.” Smith calls Eby’s pipeline criticism ‘un-Canadian and unconstitutional’ From the East and West, Alberta’s pipeline ambitions face pushback As blackmail notes go, this is right up there. Do as I say – risk your government, Canada’s international climate commitments, relations with Indigenous groups, and God knows what else – or we blow up the country. Well, not “we,” exactly, but you know, those other groups I’ve been furiously winking at the past six months. Were it not for the implied threat to the country, one might say: fair enough. Since entering politics, Mr. Carney has been playing a double game, suggesting he was open to building pipelines even as he promised no pipeline would be “imposed” on anyone. Ms. Smith wants to flush him out, and pin him down — to force him to choose. To now, Mr. Carney and his ministers have been able to fend off any questions about their ultimate commitment by insisting “there’s no proposal in front of them. Ms. Smith has sought to close off that escape route by presenting her own proposal. That’s a gamble on her part: were Mr. Carney to do as she asks, and still no private sponsor emerged, she would be left looking foolish. But to get to that point he’d have to spend large amounts of political capital – existential amounts, possibly. What Ms. Smith is asking of him is not just to clear away any federal regulatory obstacles to its construction, but to back it in the face of determined B.C and Indigenous opposition. While some Indigenous groups are in favour, it is enough that any of those whose territory the line would cross are opposed to pose a major political risk. Then there’s the matter of the laws Ms. Smith wants scrapped. The emissions cap would be no loss: it’s a terrible policy – costly, intrusive, and selective to boot. Offset by a tightening system of industrial carbon pricing, the result would be a net gain for the economy, and for national unity. Likewise, the Impact Assessment Act could surely be modified in ways that made it more acceptable to Alberta. But the tanker ban? The north coast of B.C. is legitimately fragile. A large spill would be catastrophic, not only for the environment, but for the socio-cultural heritage of Indigenous people in the region. Mere repeal of the ban – or a one-time carve-out – is not on. (Don’t U.S. tankers ply those same waters, unhindered, as former B.C. premier Christy Clark claimed the other day? No. The ban applies to tankers calling at ports in the region. But U.S. ships bearing oil from Alaska are obliged to steer clear of the area altogether via the “voluntary” Tanker Exclusion Zone, and have been since 1985.) Could it be replaced, however, by regulation: multiple layers of prevention, preparedness and liability? Drawing on reforms implemented in Alaska after the Exxon-Valdez disaster, these might include double hulls (already the norm), mandatory two-tug escorts, traffic monitoring, plus robust response capacity and stringent, enforceable liability, among a long list. At any rate, two points should be emphasized. One, the regulation of interprovincial pipelines is a federal responsibility: B.C. has no legal power to stop it. Whatever the feds decide, only they have the authority to decide it. But two: their responsibility is to decide, not necessarily to approve. It’s fair for Ms. Smith to put pressure on Mr. Carney to decide the matter her way. It’s not fair – it is unacceptable – to threaten Canada in the process.

It's definitely some sort of subservient fascination the Maple Maga's up here have with Trump... which for the life of me I'll never understand. I'd think a pet rock would be a far better choice of something to idolize rather than Trump.

Absolutely... We want to downsize sooner than later so if/when we find the right place I'll be going down that road as well. Makes way too much sense all the way around 👍

They're not going anywhere which is one reason they went this route with solar panels.
