CdnFox Posted April 3 Report Posted April 3 4 hours ago, eyeball said: So how do you explain Norway's success with a fraction of the amount of oil? A fraction of the people, they have less people than british columbia. A homogenous society, they don't have provinces that take advantage of other provinces, they don't have a first nations to worry about, they don't have scumbags like you who hate democracy and support corruption. a tiny landmass. You could fully fit 2 Norways into alberta. Imagine alberta was half it's size, no natives and few foreigners, and they still had oil. ALberta already benefits largely in the same way as norway just from royalties but if you halved the landmass and 'diversity' which slows them down they basically woudnt' have to pay taxes as is. But when you expand that to all of canada and you've got the various special interests and you've got quebec demanding no oil and alberta demanding oil and first nations to keep happy and all the rest.... it doesn't work. Never has, never will. Petro can provde that nicely and trudeau drove that stake home. Not complicated But your premise is the very thing driving alberta separation. They feel if they kept their oil money and the rest of canada couldn't interfere they'd be rich and wouldn't need to pay taxes to provide collective services Congrats, you're as smart as an alberta separatist now. 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

A bunch of Albertan Karen's lost their shit is what happened. First Nations certainly weren't a consideration back then and the rest of Canada was so predominantly white your argument we were too diverse to get along sounds lame as well. No, it was really just a bunch of uppity yahoos who didn't want to share and help build a nation. Instead they insisted our Confederation gave them the right to keep everything to themselves. Now they want to bust up Confederation to get their way. The patheticness is ironic.

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. Moving with lightning speed! This PROPOSED project has been underway for six years now! It's still only a PROPOSED project. This is the kind of bureacracy and regulatory mess that is strangling Canada's economy. https://iaac-aeic.gc.ca/050/evaluations/proj/80054 17 hours ago, LinkSoul60 said: Additionally, the Centerm Expansion Project was recently completed, significantly increasing its container handling capability. Completed three years ago. The port is already near capacity. 17 hours ago, LinkSoul60 said: 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). Yes, we already know about the LNG terminal project. 17 hours ago, LinkSoul60 said: 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. This is a fifty year plan. 17 hours ago, LinkSoul60 said: Port of Churchill: Recognized as critical for Arctic sovereignty, the Port of Churchill is undergoing modernization to act as a crucial trade corridor. A bullshit excuse to prevent the Liberals from having to approve a pipeline either east or west and instead direct oil north to a port closed eight months of the year. 18 hours ago, LinkSoul60 said: 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. And why would all of that impact Canada more than the rest of the world? 18 hours ago, ExFlyer said: And he failed and caved in LOL AI : In Canada, the federal government is responsible for the overall legal and regulatory framework for major ports, but it does not directly build or manage the day-to-day operations of most major ports. Instead, Canada’s 17 major ports are managed by Canada Port Authorities (CPAs), which are autonomous, financially self-sufficient corporations that operate at arm's length from the federal government. If you think any of these are not under government control you probably even imagine that senators and judges are appointed through an 'independent' and unbiased system. 1 1 Quote "A civilization is not destroyed by wicked men; it is destroyed by weak men who cannot defend what is good.” — G.

It's still only a PROPOSED project. This is the kind of bureacracy and regulatory mess that is strangling Canada's economy. Not true.... procurement and planning are happening right now with construction beginning in 2028. Halifax is a 50 year project, meaning the expansion and upgrading happening today will continue through to then. The port of Montreal has completed it's studies and is set to begin dredging and dock expansions next year. 1 hour ago, I am Groot said: And why would all of that impact Canada more than the rest of the world? It's not an apples to apples comparison looking at our food costs compared to say Japan's. It's more of a direct comparison to look at our cost escalation compared to the US, which we are similar/same to. We also had a significant FX difference back then versus now with a lower dollar that impacts our costs noticeably. 1 Quote

Sorry but our economy is on the verge of collapse, we've been in a practical recession for well over a year now. While ours hasn't collapsed completely it's certainly headed in that direction However you didn't address the point, Economies that have failed economies produce HIGHER birth rates not lower.

CdnFox Posted April 3 Report Posted April 3 3 minutes ago, eyeball said: No, it's simply headed towards no growth is all. That is how collapse happens. In an inflationary world no growth needs your falling behind and very quickly there's less and less money to actually provide services because of that You basically just admitted I'm right Quote You missed a point. Maybe you think people will sprout leaves and switch to photosynthesis once human food runs out. So in other words you've realized I'm right and you can't address the question so you're going to pretend to be intellectually challenged. At least I hope you're pretending Fair enough.
