Rather than getting rid of that law Carney said he'll keep the law in place but create an entire department with all of the associated expenses around the idea that they can create magic zones under special circumstances if they feel like it and that they would use this to allow the very pipelines that the no pipeline law is denying This despite the fact that ottawa can kill any pipeline it wants anyway during the regulatory process that used to be in place As a result no companies are coming forward to look at a pipeline in Canada because they aren't interested in the regulatory environment. That's a quote from them You can still have full environmental cooperation and protection with a quarter of the laws making it much easier for companies to know exactly what will and will not be passed and to make it worth it for them to apply.

NDP frontrunner proposes mass amnesties, waves of new asylum-seekers Avi Lewis called it 'anti-immigrant backlash' to draw a line between high immigration and real estate affordability Despite skyrocketing Canadian dissatisfaction with immigration rates, NDP leadership hopeful Avi Lewis has just proposed restoring immigration numbers to their post-COVID highs, and re-opening the borders to millions of potential asylum-seekers from the United States. Article content In an interview with the immigrant-centric publication New Canadian Media, Lewis advocated for the mass-amnesty of temporary migrants and the importation of “many more” international students. Article content Lewis also called for an end to the Safe Third Country Agreement with the U.S., which would allow anyone in the United States to claim asylum in Canada.

Carney is talking out of both side of his mouth and it helps him tremendously. He can talk about reforming immigration while at the same time he plans to give amnesty to all those people that overstay their visa's and while also allowing IRGC members in. He brags about his MOU's , but those projects likely won't ever come to fruition. He is being judged by his words because real accomplishments don't seem to matter to the majority of Canadians.

CdnFox Posted March 25 Report Posted March 25 5 hours ago, Barquentine said: Companies will be interested when pipelines are a profitable investment. Pipelines are a profitable investment. And in fact many of our Canadian companies are investing in and building pipelines in the states right now. So it's not that they don't want to build pipelines. 5 hours ago, Barquentine said: Oil is temporarily high but will drop back down in a few months. If a company comes forward that law will quickly be amended or dropped. Like I said they're already building Pipelines. Enbridge was clear that they were investing money into pipelines just not in Canada because specifically of the regulatory environment I know your buddy Justin Trudeau tried to argue that there's no business case for natural gas but it turns out they're really actually is But who's going to propose a pipeline to a coast that has a tankerman? Who's going to propose a pipeline where the regulatory burden is so high it's impossible to meet? Especially when it costs a couple of hundred million just to put a proposal together The answer is nobody, and they absolutely would if that wasn't the case This isn't complex and it's not a problem with the cost of oil Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

ironstone Posted March 25 Report Posted March 25 There doesn't to be much interest brewing for this leadership race. Even most so-called NDP supporters don't seem to care. Nearly half of NDP supporters don't know who is running for party leader Voting is underway in the federal NDP leadership race, but a new poll shows the party faces a steep challenge connecting with its own supporters. With five candidates vying to take the reins, many past New Democrat voters have little idea who they are or who would make the best leader. Research from the Angus Reid Institute, surveying more than 1,100 Canadians who voted NDP in at least one of the last four federal elections, found 44% of them do not recognize any of the leadership candidates. https://www.westernstandard.news/news/nearly-half-of-ndp-supporters-dont-know-who-is-running-for-party-leader/72213 Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised as these are typically the folks that think workers should seize the means of production and all the other left-wing lunacy.

The media went far far far out of their way to not do any more stories on this race than absolutely necessary. They did more stories and interviews between candidates in one month of the liberal leadership race than they've done in an entire year on this one. I don't think the media wanted anyone to be thinking bout the ndp. And the ndp didn't do a great job of self promotion. The guy how's most likely to win is the worst possible leader for them as well. 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

ROLMAO!!! 4 minutes ago, Barquentine said: And again, which regulations do you want to get rid of. "Too many regulations!" is just a right wing slogan. I've pointed out two of the biggest. The so called no pipeline act (Impact Assessment Act (IAA) and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act (CERA)) and the no oil tanker bans. me "Here's two specific examples" you "WHAT REGULATIONS COULD YOU POSSIBLY MEAN!!?!?!?!?" C'mon dude. Don't complain that you don't have specifics after you're given specifics. And the pipeline industries have pointed out those two specifically (nobody builds a pipeline to nowhere as enbridge said) and the mining and other development sectors point to the first one as being a deal killer. Those were specifically designed to kill pipelines and resource development And there's a lot more examples out there. You can have strong protections without having useless and unnecessary red tape And yes, that is indeed a conservative slogan. I suppose that means "not enough red tape' is a liberal one? That's really not something to be proud of. If we're going to succeed we need strong resource development. Period. We can have protections and we can be smart about it but we can't block it, and that's what the current laws do. And now we're basically in a low grade recession and have been for a year or two depending on which economist you talk to. Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

Parties must be built. Occasionally when they become corrupt they have to be destroyed and rebuilt from scratch. If you believe in their principles at all that's what you do The conservatives went through this federally and provincially here in British Columbia. It's a long and painful process but occasionally it's necessary If you ever believed that the MVP stood for something then you should be out there helping pick a leader that's going to rebuild a party in the image that you can be proud of.\ As you have claimed to be an NDP supporter I would strongly encourage you to look at the candidates and pick one you think will help create a party that's worth supporting.
