Iran's regime I said. And where did they take them exactly? I just see a lawn that needs raked up. To prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons...same as last time and the time before that...just like repeatedly mowing a lawn. Get back to me when they go in to install their Astroturf. Of course, we all saw what took root last time they tried that

CUSMA was effectively rendered moot with fentanyl tariffs and a trade war. To you that means kissing their ass. Which is exactly what you've been wishing for all year.

From the article. Blaming America worked to get Carney elected, but the issue of hard-working younger Canadians who can’t get a home, who are poorer, facing more debt and turning to credit to get groceries, is a made-in-Canada problem — and it was made by the Liberals. And everything under the sun was right as rain in the Before Times? LMAO! I've been witness to issues of sustainability and the lack thereof for well over 30 years now. That includes the mismanagement, de-industrialization and economic hollowing out that resulted in people borrowing to pay for necessities. The economic and environmental forces that caused this had, in turn, been in motion for decades. Along with no end of finger pointing in all directions. It's like this all over the world - and you haven't seen anything yet.

Naw, that's just you projecting. No reversal whatsoever. Like I said the primary regulators of the environment, land and natural resource use are the same ones responsible for trade barriers. Sorry kiddo but you are. Not as much as provinces. For marine fisheries sure but they really really suck at it. Aquaculture is mostly provincial. You won't get anywhere with the feds without provincial permission. And you won't get anywhere with either of them until you have First Nations support. I had to go through 13 departments, ministries and boards spanning 5 levels of government to get my aquaculture lease.

Nope, I called for a Coalition of the Willing and subordinating the US to its command.

What about the big payoff at the End of Days though? You see what's happening here don't you? You're gittin' an advance on what ya paid for.

The shine is wearing off stickin' it to Libbies?

Nope. Nope, they play a significant role but its the Provinces that call most of the shots. Like I asked, research much?

Research much? You got that part right at least. To reduce provincial involvement will mean taking over all aspects of regulating. Ottawa will have to remove provinces from the process to do what you want. Then its, you know, mandates... emergency powers...force IOW.

As far as committees go it should now that Carney has a majority. Now that the Liberals control appointments to committees their agendas, schedules and the whole nine yards they really don't matter at all. As always you're welcome for my having done whatever I could to prevent a majority up until this point.

First you have to define and settle what everyone means by unnecessary regulations. Don't forget the primary regulators of the environment, land and natural resource use are the same ones responsible for trade barriers. The feds have...fisheries? I wouldn't trust Ottawa to manage a fish-fry myself.

Net zero is response to the big picture aka AGW. I don't have much faith in a well run economy happening anytime soon myself. There was a plan but it's effectively been abandoned and from where I'm sitting the AGW denialists have won. Now the plan is to unleash and drill baby burn our way to prosperity. The resistance just needs to be bulldozed off the path to prosperity is all. Good luck.

So when the government isn't a monkey on your back it's got your back?

And you've already found them guilty.

No, it's based on my certainty that the right wing assertion the SPLC is funding the Ku Klux Klan is pure hooey.

Yeah, it would indicate a duly diligent proponent has done their homework and I would expect a corresponding high degree of success. Remember Poilievre saying lobbyists should take their asks to people directly - that's it's useless to lobby politicians?

It's a fact it's been alleged. Todd Blanch says the SPLC was paying extremists to stoke racial hatred. The head of the ⁠SPLC however said the money in question was paid to informants to gather information on extremist organizations. Big if so I think for the moment I'll take the SPLC's take on this. It looks like a legal frivolity meant to produce a political distraction.

You can blame it feeling that way because of ill-founded misinformed paranoia. Seriously, Mr Socks was the leader of the 4th Reich? LMAO!

We can certainly wind them down while winding up alternatives. We can meet that by developing alternatives while moving towards a zero-growth economy, starting by reducing our population growth. It's looking at the whole picture that's driving the need to move towards net Zero. Yup.

It might relieve a few symptoms but the cure is clearly electric.

Climate change science when it comes to demand for fossil fuel. Between alternatives and as the writing on the wall becomes clear again it'll drop. I get it there's a surge of optimism for the drill baby burn crowd these days following the surge in climate change indifference but it's not going to last. A bunch of shiny new infrastructure will be for naught. We'd be so much farther ahead if we invested in alternatives instead.

From the get go. Allowing forestry and mining to continue while banning hikers takes it the other way. I can't even convince you I'm on your side with you on the court decision. I still think there will be situations where governments need to act in an emergency and thankfully there's nothing in this ruling that prevents that.

You might as well because it's definitely just a bandaid - a corporate/political sop to environmental concerns...smoke and mirrors really. It'll reduce consumers consumption of fossil fuels by approximately 0% in 2026 and maybe .01% by 2030. Popping corks in celebration will release more CO2.

Nope. This retort underscores that it does. Sometimes that's the case alright. When they do in fact matter the court is there to remind everyone. Like I said, you people are just as quick and reactionary when condemning the courts for turning Canada into a dictatorship on occasion. And so, we have a Parliament to help us keep things on track. See how it works? It's a little messy, instant resolution and gratification are not it's forte but I can still do things like renew my car insurance without having to pay a bribe and I can simply consult a government website on whether it's safe to burn a brush pile that day.

Get a grip. It's not even a tax, its a fee that large industrial emitters pay and collect amongst themselves. The government gets nothing. The consumer is charged nothing. What little amount does pass through to consumers is so low it's approximately 0%. Industrial fees add roughly $0.12 to the final cost of a refrigerator and less than $3.00 to the price of a pickup truck. Like I said get a grip.
