blackbird Posted May 4 Report Posted May 4 (edited) Carney likes to talk about how he is going to take steps to build up the Canadian economy in the face of Trump tariffs and harm to our industries in Canada, but if you look at the Liberal list of what they plan to do, you won't find anything about building east west pipelines or selling our natural gas to Europe and the rest of world or increasing the sale of our oil to the world instead of 90% to the U.S. A plan to develop our most precious and wealth creating resources, oil and gas, is sadly not in his plan. The Liberal plan is just the same old agenda as the past ten years under Trudeau. Read the Liberal website to see this. You will notice it talks about creating a "clean energy grid" across Canada. That mean none of that "dirty oil or gas". Liberals and Carney mean an electricity grid, which will sell nothing to the rest of the world and will not bring wealth into Canada or create thousands of good-paying, long lasting jobs. Also, it may never happen unless provinces feel it is necessary. Electricity is not something you can sell on the world market to create wealth in Canada, while oil and gas is. Also, all these promises involve spending billions of dollars of taxpayer money and creating bureaucracy to administer the plans. Again, this does not create wealth for Canadians but will just add to the national deficit and increase inflation and the cost of living. These plans are all pipedreams and Big Brother Socialist ideology, based on a naive belief that government can solve all problems and do everything best. " A Mark Carney-led Liberal government will: Kickstart the clean energy supply chain by investing in critical minerals by: connecting critical mineral projects to supply chains via a new First and Last Mile Fund (FLMF), creating a more integrated and accessible Canadian economy; directly supporting clean energy and critical minerals projects via the FLMF, reducing our reliance on other countries and protecting Canadian jobs; accelerating exploration, as well as extraction from recycling, by investing in prospecting activities; and, attracting, expanding and de-risking investment in critical mineral exploration and extraction with additional investments in and expansion of existing tax credits. Get clean energy projects built quickly across Canada by: fast-tracking Projects of National Interest, which will be jointly identified with provinces and territories and Indigenous peoples; incentivizing Projects of National Interest by keeping the federal government’s current suite of investment tax credits for clean energy, finalizing the tax credits under development, and reinforcing the Canada Growth Fund, including by supporting carbon contracts for difference; signing Cooperation and Substitution Agreements with all willing provinces, territories, and Indigenous Governing Bodies within six months, ensuring that projects only go through one review that uphold environmental standards and Indigenous Consultation; establishing a Major Federal Project Office with a new comprehensive mandate to move forward with One Project, One Review, issuing decisions on major projects within two years instead of five, while fully upholding environmental integrity and Indigenous rights; developing a trade and energy corridor, along with provinces, territories, and Indigenous partners, for transport, energy, critical minerals and digital connectivity, including through the Trade Diversification Corridor Fund; doubling the Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program from $5 to $10 billion and expanding it to support more Indigenous-led infrastructure, transportation and trade projects across the country. This will make it easier for more Indigenous communities to become owners of major resource projects; increasing capacity funding for Indigenous communities to engage on projects early and consistently; and, working with project proponents, provinces, territories, and Indigenous partners to do proactive remediation and rehabilitation work at project sites so projects move faster. Secure Canada’s energy and electricity sovereignty by: working with provinces and territories to build out an East-West electricity grid, in a historic nation-building project, to secure Canadians’ access to affordable, reliable, clean, Canadian electricity; and, investing in Canada’s conventional and clean energy potential, so we can reduce our reliance on the United States and build trading relationships with reliable partners."
