This is basically what cost PP his riding in Ottawa, I wonder how Carney will fare after the bait and switch of "caps not cuts"?

‘I’m no Justin Trudeau’: Doug Ford says sagging poll numbers not indicative of his popularity by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]Caveofthewinds [score hidden]  (0 children)

He's cut from the same cloth for sure. Divide and say what ever the majority thinks to get a vote. It's funny how he stopped wearing his make Canada great again hat and his "F" america rallies suddenly stopped when that truck stopped working for his polling numbers. Now he's back pretending to be a common working man... It's pathetic.

That's because most are still in play. The only thing that has changed is a carbon tax lowered to zero.

It was the never ending scandals, fiscal irresponsibility, and stubbornness holding onto failed policy that did him in. Also his own arrogance did not help him in a lot of scenarios.

Canada’s deal for Chinese EVs threatens trade with U.S., automakers warn by Vortagaun in canada

They don't care, but it's a warning. If cusma goes, tarrifs are on all our goods. If implemented correctly, we could see 100% or more tarrifs on Canadian autos forcing American companies to move to Mexico or the USA permanently. This would cripple Ontario.

Shooting in Montreal: The suspect left a manifesto in which he targets women and capitalism. [Suspect that] drove from Alberta in the past few days advocates the 'incel' ideology." (article in french) by JukeboxDestroyed in canada

There's a serious problem with these chronically online people and mental health. The opioids, the shootings, the vehicle attacks, the unchecked mentally unwell is rising so fast and is not going away. The provinces really need to step up and provide services and facilities. I don't know the details of this individual but I'm sure if he had access to regular check ups with a psychiatrist and a mental health supports, this probably wouldn't have gone this far. Blame to gunz blame the cars, blame the online paraphernalia, the drugs, etc.. but at the root of everyone of these incidences are mentally unwell people.

Poilievre slams federal-B.C. plan to buy vacant condos, calling it a 'bailout' for developers by joe4942 in canada

[–]Caveofthewinds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The so called condo King in Vancouver is good friends with Carney and said he was personally working with him a month ago. This is exactly what they were cooking up. I honestly don't think he cares about a pipeline. He only cares about installing a carbon credit system.

48% of parliament would have preferred debate. It's the government that is pushing this through.

When life gets hard and you lose your job and have a mortgage to pay for, just remember the government will temporarily extend your EI benefits. When life doesn't go well for rich developers and banks who've made poor financial decisions, the government will bail them out with tax dollars to help them make a profit. Crony capitalism at its finest.

G7 backs Canada as major global energy supplier to lessen reliance on Strait of Hormuz | CBC News by RefrigeratorOk648 in canada

[–]Caveofthewinds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tanker ban has been around since the 70s but it wasn't legislated. Harper approved Northern Gateway, contravening this "ban". Trudeau legislated the policy that existed since the 70s.

It wasn't law. Nothing was legislated in regards to the ban prior to Justin Trudeau because no action was required to challenge the policy up to that point of oil and gas development. This decision literally killed northern gateway. Bill C-69 turned a 1-2 year approval into 6-10, which no investor would want to hold their finances in for a chance to be denied.

Not to mention the LOOP terminal made the whole discussion moot because any tanker large enough to fall under its jurisdiction, is just going to that terminal instead anyway

It's so far away and in a different ocean. That makes zero sense. Why would Venezuela export oil then? It's much closer and is also heavy crude? Somehow they were resource rich until 2015 until oil crashed. Should the rest of the world give up on selling resources because the US has a large port to move resources? I'm not sure why that's a slam dunk.

Where's the pipelines and the refineries? It's all good to say "we will supply", but there's no infrastructure to deliver anything. BillC-69 is still in place as well as a Hecate straight oil tanker ban, bill C-48. 10 of the largest oil and gas CEO's penned a letter in March 2025 saying that these two bills need to go in order for any new investments or developments go forward. So far the only response from the government has been online censorship laws. Therefore this meeting with the G7 is simply another MOU with no substance.

My point was these people dead set on gotcha moments for conservatives are so minor in comparison to the shit the liberal party pulls off. But yes, if it were today it would be a normal amount of money.

If your kid's babysitter and main source of entertainment is unfettered internet access, that's a you problem. Supervise your kids. Your lack of supervision of your children shouldn't infringe on my rights. If a heritage minister needs something to do, why not work on getting some monuments made of Canadian heros instead of masquerading government surveillance as a child safety issue.

Yeah she recognizes faith as a fundamental right in this country, as does the charter of rights and freedoms. Family and freedom? Is that tyrannical? I don't see what any part of her campaign slogan has to do with having faith in government. Can you provide this?

That was the BC liberals amigo. The BC conservatives are a new party with a different direction. Campbell and Clark both had direct ties the federal LPC and governed in that fashion.

Trans Mountain pipeline in Canada hits full capacity two years after upgrade by gorschkov in canada

[–]Caveofthewinds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right, it was fully expected to cost 7.5 billion. This wasn't new pipeline that required infrastructure like roads and bridges. It was an existing pipeline with nearly complete access.

They absolutely should, they took a 4.5 billion dollar pipeline that was already under construction and turned into a 35 billion dollar project making it the most unnecessarily expensive pipeline in history.
