You fuqing bunch of m0r0ns.

No, m0r0ns are intellectually and emotionally insecure people who can only function in a narrative that suits their simple mindset, while disregarding the reality of facts.  

Actually, this sounds a lot like you...

That makes no sense. 

Why? Why should Canada be stuck paying such a high price for something we have in such abundance? Is Alberta being bombed back into the stone age too?

Actually that sounds a lot like you.

Emotionally insecure people go on discussion forums to tell people off and blow off steam.  Which you admitted to.

And NOBODY disregards facts like you do.  That is a FACT. 🤣

Yes, Canada should be producing a lot more oil than it is.  But it's hard to argue that this Liberal government isn't rather hostile to the Canadian oil industry. Carney once stated that it 'should stay in the ground'. The conditions for new pipeline construction are more than likely not going to be met because there are simply too many of them.

That's by design.

Was this food inflation significantly worse than all the rest of the G7 back then?

By the way, it's increased 46% under Trudeau.

No idea how we compared to the G7 countries with that inflation.  I do know though that labor, transportation and energy costs were less, we had a higher dollar, there wasn't a war that impacted food prices, and there were less weather events then there are today.

Attendees:

• Finance Minister Champagne
• Bank of Canada Governor Macklin
• Bay Street corporate executives
• All the big banks

And:

Local executives from BROOKFIELD ASSET MANAGEMENT.

 

 

And your little mind probably thinks this delegation is only there on behalf of Carney's personal wealth, don't you...  😂

Again and again...😒

Canada should only be producing as much as we need - to wean ourselves off it without going broke in the process of transitioning to alternatives.

It killed the carbon tax...it's caved to right-wing whining.

Every government in Canada should be hostile to fossil fuels especially in the face of climate change.

Yes it should. But as you people like to point out he's also invested in oil so he's a typical right-wing hypocrite from where I'm sitting.

Like I said, we're a generation too late. We should have hired Norway when we had the chance.

That said, I bet they could make us a bundle managing our nuclear resources for us.

More by poor planning I think let's face it, Canada is kind of like an epitome of the Peter Principle.

But I thought the countries biggest oil proponent, Danielle Smith, said the deal her and Carney struck was a 'grand bargain', an 'end of dark times', and a 'starting pint grounded in good faith'?

You seem to be getting Carney mixed up with Trudeau...

That's just what the CBC reported.

She said lots more than that to Albertans.

But you never hear what's really going on because you only listen to government-paid-for pravda.

Not possible without greatly expanding our ports, which he is not doing.

You haven't been looking close enough...

• Port of Vancouver: The Port of Vancouver, which handled a record 160 million metric tons of cargo in 2024, is prioritizing the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project, an estimated $2 billion initiative to expand container terminal space. Additionally, the Centerm Expansion Project was recently completed, significantly increasing its container handling capability.
• Port of Prince Rupert: Known as North America's closest port to Asia, this port has $3 billion in projects scheduled to expand export capacity for products like liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
• Port of Halifax: Upgrades are focused on accommodating larger ships (18,000 TEUs), including building a new container buffer zone and adding new cranes to enhance transatlantic trade.
• Port of Churchill: Recognized as critical for Arctic sovereignty, the Port of Churchill is undergoing modernization to act as a crucial trade corridor.

The industrial carbon tax is still around, and it went up on April 1.

Where would we be today without the use of fossil fuels over the last 100+ years? What are the poorer countries like that never used fossil fuels to the extent the developed world has used them? Petroleum is used for many things apart from transportation fuel.

I'm not suggesting that this can go on forever, but we should be pragmatic about how fast we reduce the use of oil and in replacing it with something better.

I totally agree that Carney is a hypocrite on this subject because of his substantial personal investments in American oil companies. I wish the mainstream media would do a better job of pointing out things like that.

Really good interview with Poilievre on the Diary of a CEO podcast (which is an excellent podcast, BTW).  Very different from the Rogan interview.  Less talk about MMA 🤣.  More focus on who he is as a person and his views on governing.

 

Baloney.

Even Carney admitted he wanted into government so he could affect policies that would make investors rich off taxpayer dollars.

Absolute nonsense...  Show me when/where that was said.  Anyone with half a brain knows that if it was factual, not a chance in hell he'd be elected.

The penchant you have for picking things out of your áss to keep your narratives going is priceless 😂

What's also going on in Canada is that millions of people have decided to be as ungovernable as possible.

Our governments have shit to work with and the results are becoming more obvious.

Riiiiightttt,  it's not the gov'ts fault they're failing at their jobs, it's the people!  Poor innocent liberals who suffer relentlessly under the hands of the evil voters!

If she didn't agree to that deal, then she would be portrayed as the one holding it up. She did agree, so it will likely be some time before that deal can be labelled a dud or not. If nothing gets done, then Carney will simply say that the conditions(lot's of them) were not met so he's off the hook. I'm guessing that there will be no new pipelines as long as the Liberals are in power and that's going to be a long time.

All done before he got there and most of which won't actually resolve the issues you're talking about. But nice try

This is the truth. Carney has already taken the steps necessary to make sure a project will never move forward. He wants to appear open to it but in reality he's closing the doors.

And I think smith overplayed her hand. She was obviously trying to look like she was really believing what carney said so that she could look betrayed later when it turned out he was full of shit. But she went too hard on the simpering and praising, and it's going to be too long between when this was announced or when she eventually has to admit it won't work. She'll wind up wearing some of the blame for it

We should be but I think you're dreaming we will or that we'll replace it before disaster strikes.

It'll have to be a disaster to wake us up.

If or when all Canadian airlines switch to biofuels, whether willingly or by legislation, air travel will most certainly become much more expensive than it is now, and it's already expensive.

Costs like this do get passed on to consumers whether one believes it or not, just as with the industrial carbon tax.

Your anti-liberal minds don't allow for much thought beyond your narrative, do they...   

I'm guessing you're also of the mindset that climate change is fake news so no need to reduce carbon emissions in this industry either, right...  

 

US airlines are more heavily invested in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF/biofuels) than Canadian airlines, primarily driven by significantly stronger financial incentives in the United States. While Canadian airlines are actively pursuing partnerships, the U.S. market has moved ahead in both investments and production capability. 

Skies Mag +2

 

Key Differences in Investment and Activity

• United States Leadership: U.S. carriers, led by United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and American Airlines, have made large-scale investments in SAF production, startups, and supply chain expansion, with United claiming to have invested in more SAF production than any other airline in the world.
• Production Incentives: The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act provides tax credits of up to US$1.75 per gallon, which has attracted significant capital for SAF production.
• Canada's Challenge: Canadian aviation industry groups have highlighted a lack of federal policy and financial incentives, leading to a shortage of domestic SAF production.
• Investment Contrast: While Air Canada has taken steps, such as a 2024 agreement with Neste for 77.6 million litres of SAF, the scale is generally smaller than the multi-year, multi-million dollar investments announced by major US carriers.
