He's probably right☹️

Living standards in China have improved quite a bit from what I see online. But we must not lose sight of the fact that they cannot choose who leads them, nor are they allowed to criticize the current regime. They even use de-banking as one weapon against those that dare to dissent. That sounds familiar...

My bad for assuming you had even heard of this book and who wrote it. I'm pretty sure that everyone on the conservative side in this forum is well aware of this book.

In his 2021 book, Values, for instance, he made the rather blunt case that 80 percent of current fossil fuel reserves—including half of gas and one third of oil—must go undeveloped. https://thehub.ca/2025/04/16/sean-speer-will-mark-carney-champion-canadas-oil-and-gas-sector-or-continue-his-anti-development-ways-he-owes-voters-a-clear-answer/ The practical effect was to encourage a shift away from fossil fuels. Carney has continued this approach in recent years as the UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance. With the temperature target now tightened to 1.5 degrees C, he endorsed a November 2023 report by the Energy Transitions Committee that concluded that “65% of all oil and gas reserves and 90% of all coal reserves must be left in the ground…. and there is no need for any exploration of new oil and gas fields.” https://www.thenation.com/article/environment/canada-mark-carney-climate/#

I stated that Carney had previously made a statement to the effect that oil and gas should remain in the ground, or at least the majority of it. The search engine answer did reply that Carney had in fact made that statement about oil, gas and coal. I also stated that Bill C69 had been nicknamed the 'no more pipelines' Bill and that is also true. If the things I post(which have been reported in some media outlets) offend you somehow, that's your problem, not mine. Not happening.

Search Assist Yes, Mark Carney has stated that the vast majority of Earth's remaining reserves of oil, gas, and coal must be left in the ground to avoid catastrophic climate change. He emphasizes that burning these fossil fuels would risk overheating the planet. Canadian Oil and Gas Industry Reaction to Bill C-69 Executives in Canada's oil and gas industry have largely expressed significant opposition to Bill C-69. Their concerns stem from several key aspects of the legislation. Reasons for Opposition Increased Regulatory Burdens: Industry leaders believe that the bill imposes stricter regulations that complicate the approval process for new projects, leading to longer and more costly timelines. Uncertainty in Approvals: The extended assessment periods and added layers of review have created uncertainty regarding project timelines, which can discourage investment. Economic Impact: Executives argue that the constraints imposed by the bill could negatively affect the broader economy, particularly in regions reliant on the oil and gas sector for jobs and revenue. Impact on Competitiveness: Industry representatives worry that these regulations may make Canadian projects less competitive compared to those in other countries with less stringent requirements, potentially leading to capital flight. Political Climate: The political backdrop related to the bill has also contributed to concerns, as many executives feel that government intentions may prioritize environmental considerations over economic growth. Conclusion Overall, Canada’s oil and gas industry executives view Bill C-69 as a barrier to development and growth, fostering a climate of apprehension regarding future investments and project approvals.

Bill C-69 was literally nicknamed the 'no more pipelines Bill'. Carney himself has previously stated that oil 'should stay in the ground'.

That was a Liberal government that did that by the way.

She was given a lawful order to get out of the car and she refused to comply.

I'm not sure about that. I love to watch a lot of automotive stuff on YouTube and I constantly hear how terrible Kia and Hyundai's are but the roads are full of them. The Canadian auto sector won't want Chinese EV's here.

I think the oil producing provinces would beg to differ on that one. You are right that we are a decade of pipe building away from that and it's due in no small part to the anti-oil stance of the Liberals and all of the obstacles they've put in the way of more pipelines. Even with the MOU, I doubt that any new pipelines will be built although if it was to happen I could give credit for it. We should be more concerned with China because of how they treat us. They interfere in out elections, operate police stations on our soil. They will not hesitate to take Canadians as hostages. It's much easier for them to do business in Canada than it is for Canada to do business in China. Will our government ignore China's poor record on human rights? I would like Carney to elaborate more on his 'new world order' statement. It would be wiser to keep the CCP at arms length instead of cozying up to them.

I'm going to take a page out of your book. I don't trust your source so you got BUPKIS.

I know, I know...if you were in his place at that time...you would have rolled to the side and shot out the tires...all four of them...with only two shots🙄

Walz has decided not to run again. but if he did, I have a feeling he would still win again even though he's been shown to be incredibly incompetent and corrupt.

Not really. GPT-4o mini Yes, police are generally trained to fire multiple shots to neutralize a threat, but this training is context-dependent and varies by jurisdiction. The context in this case was the threat who was behind the wheel of a vehicle in motion.

Germany and Japan could have been new markets for oil and gas but Justin Trudeau said no. Both of those nations are friendly to Canada, unlike China.

Adrenalin and training kicking in.

But most of those people that have entered the US illegally over the years are Hispanic. As of early 2026, it's estimated that there are approximately 14 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States.

robo, are you going to respond to Gatomontes99's post about the officer that was hit by Renee Good's car? He apparently had internal bleeding. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-officer-who-shot-renee-good-internal-injuries-sources-say/ Doesn't that shoot down your claim that her car 'only brushed against his leg'?

At the end of the day, it's a human that will make a hiring decision. Ideally, the person that gets hired should be the most qualified candidate regardless of race or gender. Nobody should hired or not hired based on race as the deciding factor.

I have pointed out a few times that even Carney openly admitted that the Canadian economy was already weak well before Trump, and that he has been involved in shaping Liberal policies since 2020 in an advisory role. Carney has also publicly stated that China is the biggest security threat to Canada and now, he's cozying up to them? The CCP is urging Canada to 'break away' from US influence and presumably be more aligned with China. China is a market that's impossible to ignore but let's not forget that they are not in any way an ally of Canada.

A level playing field would be meritocracy.

You do know that it wasn't only white people alone that did those horrible things right? And before Europeans arrived in North American, indigenous people weren't exactly like they've been portrayed in Disney movies. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/military-history/history-heritage/popular-books/aboriginal-people-canadian-military/warfare-pre-columbian-north-america.html Despite the myth that Aboriginals lived in happy harmony before the arrival of Europeans, war was central to the way of life of many First Nation cultures. At a community level, warfare played a multifaceted role, and was waged for different reasons. Some conflicts were waged for economic and political goals, such as gaining access to resources or territory, exacting tribute from another nation or controlling trade routes.

"Instant fix?" They've been in power since 2015 so how many more years do they need to get it right?
