Carney Is Failing

[eyeball]

From the article...

"Nation building should secure Canada's future, not tie us to the polluting past," said Aly Hyder Ali, oil and gas program manager at Environmental Defence.

"Expanding LNG in a climate crisis is a dangerous mistake."

We should be going all in on renewables and nuclear power.

Going backwards when the future is in the other direction is just dumb.

Government should ignore these environmental radicals.  Opposing oil and gas is how they make their living.  It's their occupation.   I don't know why they pay so much attention to them.

We have a vast storehouse of natural gas in the ground that will bring in billions of dollars and create thousands of jobs for Canadians.  It would be pretty dumb to ignore that.  There is no vast resource of renewable energy that would create near the wealth that LNG will.  Oil and natural gas is where the wealth and jobs are and always have been.  We just need a government that will act on it.

The first 5 are already in the most advanced stages which is why they are in the first tranche but they still have hurdles ahead of them, for example they don’t have all the necessary funding lined up. . They’re having funding and project timetables accelerated. Carney also read a list of projects that will be part of the next tranche which he expects will be ready for referral to the national project office by end of November, with more to come in spring and summer.

You're the one wearing the elbows-up panties, Link. 

Trudeau didn't need any help from Obama to sewer our energy sector when he got elected, he did that all on his own, so why are you blaming Trump for that?

When the left wing lieberals phk up, they have to always blame Trump. We know for a fact that Canada has been in decline for the past ten years all thanks to left wing lieberalism bullshit. The only way for Canada to get back on track and become a great country is for the left wing lieberals to be removed from power. Canada should be one filthy rich country and all Canadians should also be filthy rich. But we will always be broke and woke until the lieberal disease is eradicated. 

Lieberals are a bunch of pink panty cowardly buffoons who like to shoot people. It's elbows down for those useless losers. 👎

No, it's not even close to being a dead country, except for the a**holes like you constantly complaining about it rather than trying to make it better.  Life's too short so try packing your bags and fùcking off if it's that bad.

They're not getting any funding from the government that would be helpful and he didn't announce any funding. In fact all he's doing is referring it to an office that doesn't even really exist yet. All of these were going to happen without his help

And the problem is they're not going to make any difference.

Carney is smoke an mirrors just like Justin Trudeau. And he's going to ruin the economy just like Justin Trudeau. Now I'm not saying that this can't be a successful political strategy, justin ate like a king and filled his pockets at the public expense for a decade by lying and convincing people like you that left is right and up is down. But sooner or later the people are going to see that their lives aren't getting better and that we're still sinking

Countries, like oil tankers, are difficult to turn around. It takes more than days or weeks for anybody to do it even in these impatient times. If we agree that our problems have taken years to be caused we should not be surprised they will take years to solve.

Utter and complete bullshit.

Carney was the one that set the time tables. He was the one that said he would get projects off the ground faster than ever in our history, and so far every project he's named has already been greenlit before he even started. Not a single new project an industry is saying they don't want to do business with him.

He was the one that promised repetitively to have inter provincial trade barriers down by July. He promised that this would almost make up for the loss of business to the Americans itself. Aside from some meetings and a few gestures absolutely nothing substantial has changed and this is September.

He said he could have a deal negotiated with trump by august at the latest. He got elected on that I'm being able to handle trump no problem. What month is it now? He won't even tell people how the negotiations are going or what's happening, which probably needs is going very badly

Don't give me this bullshit about turning the ship around. He's the one that said that his years of experience Meant he could turn it like a speedboat. And what's worse, anyone with any experience or half a brain can see that absolutely we are going to get worse under the course of action he's taken not better. So not only is he not turning the ship around, looks like we're sinking

You want a country to change in minutes, days, weeks? This is not a video game. Also our country’s economy is under an unprecedented assault. I will review in a year post-election and give him one more before I give up and look for a possible alternative.

Brookfield is said to eye $10B deal for U.S. manufactured home operator

Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE:BAM) is in advanced discussions to buy Yes! Communities, a U.S. operator of manufactured homes, from Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC in a transaction valued at more than $10 billion, the Financial Times reported Sunday, citing people familiar with the talks. If finalized, the deal would mark one of the largest real estate acquisitions since 2022.

The Canadian investment giant, which manages about $1 trillion in assets, has been in negotiations for months. While sources said the discussions are progressing, no agreement has been signed and the deal could still fall through. Brookfield (NYSE:BAM) and GIC declined to comment, and Yes! did not respond to inquiries from the FT.

It's been 6 months, and Carney said he could do it

So yeah, I expect him to deliver on what he promised. The question is why don't you?

. Also our country’s economy is under an unprecedented assault. I will review in a year post-election and give him one more before I give up and look for a possible alternative. 

So in other words you will wait two maybe three years and then you'll decide to start thinking about it.

That's basically how we got 10 years of Justin Trudeau and look how well that turned out for the economy.

Your ignorance and apathy is going to rob at least 2 possibly 3 generations of canadians of the life they SHOULD have had.

The office does exist, the projects are going to receive needed help from the government and whether it is funding or other support will come from the office which does in fact now exist. 
 

And given that Poilievre is supporting Carney’s initiatives in parliament while telling you otherwise in public I think you ought to really consider who is convincing who that left is right and up is down.

As for your rhetoric please explain how Justin “filled his pockets”

I'll answer: because his mother was hired as a speaker by WE, which was engaged by the Federal Government, to the tune of roughly $10K per appearance.

So, for the f*ck Trudeau crowd - this admitted conflict of interest is in the same league or perhaps more condemnable than Trump launching his own money-laundering crypto currency....

He won’t be bringing US manufactured homes to Canada his policy is specifically for Canadian companies and Canadian materials. He just held a big press conference and policy announcement at one such company yesterday.

The office doesn't exist unless you mean physically there are some bricks where they will one day be working. But they're not functional yet

And these projects didn't need support they already were tremendously far down the line and we certainly didn't need an office.

What he's done is picked a bunch of projects which were already about to move forward and tried to claim them as his personal victory because he wrote them on a list without even mentioning any support and sent that list to an office that doesn't actually function yet. This is beyond useless

When did he do that? Parliament hasn't even been in session. If you're going to lie at least make it slightly plausible how can he support Carney in the house when the house isn't in session?

That was seriously pathetic beaver, do I really need to sit you down and explain how our system works again? When was there ever a vote in parliament on these issues and projects?

In fact poilievre has pointed out that this list is useless.
