  1. You mean like the orginal trade deal we signed....what exactly makes this one different...are there any guarantees that this one will live through trump's presidency... so getting a deal signed is only us looking to get out of some tariffs...which makes since but we don't know if any deal will make it through the week
  2. well western oil is going to manitoba first...thats the first pipeline....The east will get plenty of pipelines in time...And if the liberals don't have the balls to just drive a pipeline through Quebec then the conservatives will...I did not know you can only have one pipeline per province...or you did not need the jobs, and like i said before this is a NATION building exercise to build an energy corridor across the country...why is this so hard to understand...what is wrong with two pipelines...three pipelines...it creates jobs and income...what about those things don't you like...
  3. No but ebys is going to do what his province wants him to do....THE entire point of these projects is to create an energy corridor for the entire "nation"....to boast our nations' GDP by geting our resources to market...not just BC but the entire nation........and it sounds like BC does not want to play.... which is fine but don't be surpised when BC projects don't get approved either ....me personally think the whole idea was more than canada could handle, good idea,but we do not know how to play on one team....we have proven over and over we can not get major projects done, it is mission impossible...and with everyone pandering for the same funding it is going to be cut throat...
  4. you guys keep repeating that like it is impossible to do...Why would Alberta be pushing it if there was no plan in the works...most of those provincial requests are just plans on someone's wall...not sure why you would dismiss it outright...when the entire idea here is to create an energy corridor, to make Canada more prosperous...or do you dislike alberta that much ?
  5. sure, but BC did not spend anything on TMX, and lets face it it was not one of the liberals finest hours purchasing a pipeline to start with......Can you even run a pipeline at 100 % capacity ,or is there some safety rule or other reasoning we are not mentioning....EBY is competing for national tax dollars for BC projects it would be to his best interest to down sell Alberta's projects, which are not very popular with BC interests...no proposal yet.... couple of points, it is only an economically incentive when it is a military contract, then we can build whatever we want for triple the price...just to keep canadians ship yard workers working.... instead we go to China which can build anything for nothing...what happened to keeping Canadians employed...and our tax dollars inside Canada...and the optics are terrible on this... eby's
  6. Snide remarks , no just pointing our some of the doublespeak coming from BC premier....about how concerned he is about federal taxpayers money and how he does not want to waste it...and then how he has his own hands out looking for projects he wants....Lots of shipbuilders here in Canada probably did not hear about your ferries....and of all places China, great optics.......i guess we should ask who all the major contributors were to his campaign....
  7. I here this all the time, Nobody is going to attack us, and yet it happens everyday in various forms....and after all that lets talk about all the defensive pacts we have signed on to...Norad, NATO, 5 EYEs, European....an attack on anyone one of those countries is an attack on Canada...Not everyone gets along...not here, or the globe...time to get out of the basement...Reagan is dead along with his legacy...a whole new world sprang up after his death...Russia , has now attacked Ukraine...and has eyes on other European countries...today we have Trump...you should get caught up...its 2025
  8. Sorry they are not taking any money from BC until they contract Canada for it's ferries,and agree to another pipeline...until then look at the hand ...
  9. I get it they are problems only conservatives see...the rest well they are parts of the rights imagination....Sorry if you can't even admit there is problems everywhere you look, then i guess this conversation is over...not worth it to continue when all you see is rainbows and unicorns...
  10. Justins leaving office does not just magically make all the problems he created disappear...they still need to be addressed Identifying who created them is important,i'm sure Carney is not going to take credit for all that mess,but he will need to clean it up.... It was not that carney wanted to keep them around, "Canadians" voted them back in....like some kind of sadistic ritual, we want more pain and suffering...
  11. I think it is great that you and others Canadians feel that way....i truly do, for me there has been to much bad blood pass, and i've been to many funerals to count, because our nation forgot or just neglected soldiers begging for help...I think Justin said it best "you are asking for more than we can give right now" just before he doubled the national debt....The way we have treated our vets is disgusting... Me and my generation are mostly retired now, and i bring attention on this forum and others i hopes it sparks something and our military gets some kind of attention it needs. as my son and daughters have taken up the torch. If not for them, i would not care, like the majority of Canadians...
  12. Not my point at all....almost half of Canadians did vote for conservatives and most of them do think Canada is broken....and all of that is laid at the feet of Justin liberal party,most of which are still here today....thats my point....many things in Canada are broken....you being dishonest or ignoring the problem by not admitting to that... I think everyone in Canada knows the conservatives lost the election, hard not to with so many liberals rubbing it in our noses everyday...but that was never the point...the point is during Justins reign of terror his government broke or mishandled a lot of stuff...So much so it gave Carney an entire campaign to run on... No it does not do you think Canadian wanted Justins jokers running the country,near the end even justin hated himself...and most Canadians did not agree in that direction he was shoving our country, but they were terrified of what PP was going to , eat small children in streets, endorse witch craft,banishing all social programs...etc... I was asking you to justify your position, but i get itr it is easy to deflect on the questions and repeat the same old liberal line you lost we won...suck it up...
  13. Like i said shut er all down, if you like it really does not matter to me...fire all of those people in the military....spend more on social programs or bonfires sing and dance kumbaya, spark up a few joints,i'm with ya man... that will go over pretty well with our friend trump...hbe6t ya he makes BC the 51 st state
  14. and if the local people ask for more help, who do they go to.... your right , i mean what does the air force know about flying....and aerial combat...nothing on the your level of experience or knowledge...i mean we all get along right, well except those crazy Russian, or them Chinese....or Iran, the list just gets bigger from there....
  15. Did you even read what you wrote....we have a dedicated federal department it is called the Canadian armed Forces.... ya sure, even the swiss have a military...almost equipped as well as ours... this has to be one of your crazier ideas...a dirty bomb....we can't even buy simple pistols within 15 years...and now you want a dirty bomb....well there is always e bay...
  16. Defend it how exactly....you mean by calling trump names, or jumping on a forum and screaming into the wind...thats not patriotism, thats some people venting...no more than they do at sporting events when team Canada is playing....you and i have much different ideas of patriotisms... After 9/11 happened recruiting went up 5 %,when we were told we were going to Afghanistan recruiting jumped up to 8 %....Canada was going to war...and most Canadians switched the channel.... For the most part Canadians have sat back and were content as government after government created or failed in solving any of the problems or issues...it was like they lived in their own bubbles and did not care what was going on outside of them,with exception of some water cooler talk...and again unless there is some large lobby group backing an issue...take gun control, LGBTQ, Palestinian issues those garner Canadian support...but immigration, military any of the other security services, health care,when was the last time thousands of Canadians protested these topics...it is like they don't care enough about these issues to take any action....even writing an MP is to much work..it sends a message we don't care, Thats not patriotism its something else...... Patriotism is more than just giving out a few words, quite or not, it is about action...it is about giving back to our nation,province ,community....And today that list that you and i talk about ....it gets longer everyday.... I have my own reasons to be disappointed by Canada and it's people...most of it was during my military career...and my service in combat or peace making...and how Canadians treated us upon going into battle or our return, or what our country provided in support...not only did we disappoint our soldiers and their families, but our allieds...and any achievements we did if Afghanistan was on the backs of our soldiers, not from support from our government or its tax payers...And i seen good people not come home to their families because of it...and if they did come home and needed help adjusting we were told we were weak, if you went to the hospital and were then let go, or we toughed it out until mental health became a normal thing and we waited up to 2 years to get treatment...
  17. I know a lot of vets that would disagree...They've been let down to many times....don't get me wrong if any of my old comrades phoned my up and said they were going off to war again, i'd be there in a heartbeat, not for king or country but for them...If we could survive 10 years of Justin , they could survive kamala...the question should be would kamala survive the American people without getting shot....
  18. Is it conspiracy, not all parent see it the same way, nor are they experiencing the same level of happiness about your localized education system ...it seems your writing all of their experiences off because you have not experienced that way.... I mean what has been given up in the curriculum to teach gender studies, etc...and what does these topics prepare you for in the future work force...has any of your employment opportunities asked for gender studies education, or have they provide you with these opportunities during your work week. How about finance training, how to manage money, save money, invest money, building credit. just to name a few....that everyone should know a little about before entering the workforce...
  19. You mean me and millions of other Canadians, let not forget more than 8 million voted conservative and most if not all of them agree this country is broken...And it is sad to think that this is what Canadians wanted....take immigration for instance, majority of Canadians don't want high immigration...So thats not what the people want...i personal think they could not care what the government does. they can't even take the time out of their own bubble to fight for what is right...unless it is an LGBTQ issue, or gender, palestinian, issues,then they got all the time in the world.... Well sir,i hate to break this to you, you voted Liberal, and now your defending past liberal practices, or at least it looks like it...Your right conservatives can do better, but i don't see anyone lined up to do that do you, infact to be honest we have not had really any leadership here in Canada for decades...And i'm not pissed at you, i don't really care who you support, you should own that, it was your choice.... Like i said before me and at least 8 million voters, and if your happy with the way things were or are being run, good on you...but don't try and tell me there is no dumpster fires when i can't see you through all the smoke...or you can provide some departments names that are run well and people are happy with...so we can discuss that.
  20. What do we do when he demands the end of milk cartels...
  21. Want to see what patriotism is go to any small town in the US...Flags every where, America f*ck ya that's patriotism, what we have here is a hatred for trump, and people jumping on the bandwagon..."quite patriotism" your making this up....and grabbing at straws at the same time..
  22. Really, think the military is broken or it's just my opinion...what about immigration broken or just me...Health care, RCMP, CSIS,Coast Guard, Indian affairs...i could go on but i think it is not just me,i think millions of Canadians think this way.... If your going to stand up for the liberal party and support them for the last 10 plus years and not call it a dumpster fire, is not being honest....the majority of the country thought so,justin was a huge walking dumpster fire....as far as the new liberal government I think right now they are doing alright....but it is way to early to make a call one way or another... So what happens to kids once they are older, why do they lose that patriotism,love of country....
  23. I think this is an example of where we are today as a nation if this sells for art and someone bought it...hopeless and lost...
  24. I disagree, from quebec to the atlantic provinces are not able to survive on their own, not even close....Quebec being the biggest problem....if they could there would be no provincial transfers...the west is most likely to succeed, with being the food basket of canada and having all the energy...but that not going to be enough what happens to pensioners , old age , CPP there is not enough to support everyone if Canada breaks up...thats only one issue.....No the best bet is joining the states at that point...and BC...do you really think BC are going to cooperate with Alberta and the rest of them....use the new port in Manitoba....it would be easier....
  25. Milk quotas are decided by the federal government , divided by provinces. you can purchase your quota from another farmer, or the federal government much like the lobster industry, the government gets the quota money, or a another person can sell his quota or portions of it...either way, the government gets it's share... https://agriculture.canada.ca/en/sector/animal-industry/canadian-dairy-information-centre/statistics-market-information/farm-statistics/distribution-quota America must be doing something right as their milk products are way cheaper....and the dairy cartel sets the price and passes it on to the consumer....either way government subsidize, or dairy cartel all of that is passed on to consumer one way or another ie taxes or higher prices...and yet American milk products are way cheaper... Like you said cows produce milk 24/ 7 days a week and if your at your quota then your dumping your milk...you can not donate it, or sell it, you dump it....Canada has it's share of mega farmers as well.
