Just how much corruption exists in this federal government?

We'd be a whole lot farther ahead putting all the effort it'll take to get a pipeline built into alternatives. In Alberta's case it should be into SMRs. These should be used to power a virtually in-situ refinery industry to produce the fuel Canada and North America will still need while demand winds down. Which I doubt will ever go away entirely.

SMRs would be a better idea than windmills and mirrors. But why are you so intent on denying the west prosperity? 

Deregulate oil, gas, mining, farming...allow the economy to fully recover from all the damage done the last decade. Then talk about SMRs. Hell we could do both at the same time. But allowing oil and gas to operate would produce almost immediate returns for the entire nation.

Canada is over regulated. 15 years for a cross town LRT in Toronto. 2 to 3 years to build a house. We choke ourselves and brag to the world what good citizens we are. It's all nonsense.

If I've said it once I've said it everytime I post here...

A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Why on Earth would you build a nuclear reactor without shielding?

We've had government oversight and you still support the guys who are corrupt

The problem really isn't that we can't catch corruption, the problem is we don't punish it. People like you are happy to vote for it again

At the end of the day this is the heart of the matter.

It's not that corruption is hidden. There's generally enough evidence of corruption that reasonable people can expect that it's happening and could choose to do something about it as voters.

But generally that's not what happens and therefore politicians feel emboldened

It's hard to put it on the courts because the governments at the end of the day have a lot of control over the courts as we've seen in the last 8 years

But if the voters absolutely devastated parties where corruption was an issue and said they would never consider them again until the corruption was cleaned up, we wouldn't have anywhere near the problem we do

Conservatives have a history of doing that in Canada. The NDP does too actually on the provincial level.

But liberals will keep voting for corruption all day and all night. And that's a problem

Well, like I've said before, when Harper had his kick at that can he simply extended the catch-and-release philosophy usually reserved for white-collar criminals.

You need lefties for this job - real lefties that is, not Liberals.

Hmmm. 🤔

AI Overview.

Five-year total: Over the five years leading up to 2024, the estimated total federal financial support to the oil and gas sector was about $74.6 billion.

Lack of transparency: Some reports highlight a lack of transparency around the exact amount and use of these subsidies, making a precise total difficult to determine.

A lack of transparency? Who woulda thunk that?

LMAO!

The AIs only report what they read. The nonsense about tens of billions in 'support' is not actual money but mostly things like not making the oil and gas industry pay for the pollution gasoline engines cause, and allowing them the same tax breaks as every other industry and business.

Why? There's no business plan, no private investors, millions of people don't want it and it won't be finished until 5 - 10 years after peak demand for oil.  It's hilarious listening to Smith coming at this like it's Petro-Can .02.

Just build it out of spite anyway - for shits and giggles stickin' it to libbies? That would be your style alright.

LMAO!

The problem of getting investers in a pipeline might be most easily understood in the context of a company choosing to export potash through a US port rather than building a new terminal to do it in BC. Or as the following person put it on X.

If you want to understand why Canada's west coast ports have become uncompetitive, read and weep the decision statement by then-Minister Guilbeault that approved the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 with *370* conditions after a 10 year review assessment process. https://iaac-aeic.gc.ca/050/documents/p80054/147356E.pdf

That couldn't be less true.

Do you ever notice that you have to lie to make virtually all of your points? Does that not tell you that maybe you've got a problem with your facts? Is protecting your echo chambers so desperately important to you but the truth just doesn't matter?

Poilievre claims only his party supports working Canadians. However, conservatives have never championed programs like the Canada Child Benefit, Early Learning Child Care, or school nutrition. In contrast, liberals introduced anti-scab legislation (C-58) and doubled the Innovation program to $50 million to support apprenticeships. They also reduced income tax rates from 22% to 20.5% for incomes between $ 70 and $ 120,000. Additionally, a new 33% tax bracket for incomes over $ 200,000.

I wonder as to where and how prosper Canada would and could be today if it were not for those lieberal communist globalists in Ottawa, and with the help of the french communist separatists from quebec, with their always trying to destroy Canada and to stop Canada from seeing it's full potential. The culprit here in Canada is not only the WEF globalists but also the french communists from quebec.

Quebec corrupted and ripped off English Canada by the hundreds of billions every year and have stopped Canada from seeing it's full potential. But all we got instead from those two thieves and rip off artists mentioned above is more broke, mpore woke and pretty much close to bankruptcy. All Canadians could be filthy rich today if it were not for the communists in Ottawa and quebec that continue running and ruining Canada. 

Why do so many Canadians always keep voting for those same scumbags mentioned above and try and put an end to their demise. I just do not get it at all. ☹️

And it is your communist lieberal party in Ottawa that have pretty much made Canada a laughing stock of the world. The lieberals have made us all more broke, more woke, and close to becoming bankrupt. If one day Canada has to declare bankruptcy, well so much for all of those nice programs that you say the lieberals gave us above because they will all go down the tubes if we ever have to declare bankruptcy. 

You seem to forget that it has been the lieberals that have been in power for over ten years now, and where or what has Marx Carnage or your beloved Turdeau done in the past ten years to try and make Canada great? Why do you always keep avoiding that question? But that is okay because i now know that i have gotcha, troll LOSER. 😱🤪

Those programs have nothing to do with working canadians. 

they HAVE supported tax breaks for families to allow income splittling, which is far more powerful than the programs you mentioned. They have supported breaks for businesses who develop daycare options.  They have supported additional training for people and for tax breaks to purchase their equipment and gear to start their jobs.  They've promoted more investment in canada instead of driving it away, they've looked to reduce business tax to encourage businesses to invest here, they've frequently called for scaling back the foreign worker program that the libs let run out of control.... 

and a buch of other things. 

The only thing the libs support is expanding unemployment benefits for all the people their polices have forced out of work. Which is like offering a bandaid to someone after you've slit their throat. 

other than that it's back to work legislation and lowering the average wage.

So ... PP's got a point
