Canadian Politics

I didn't think we had a thread for this. 

Is Trudeau this out of touch or does he just not care?

    The holocaust comparisons have me legit sick to my stomach. There is not one thing in Canada going on right now that compares to the start of the holocaust. No red flags. Not a one. They built the f

The temp in the room must drop by a hundred degrees when she & Philpott enter. She's out to get Trudeau. Maybe have him removed as leader. 

I thought that a few weeks ago - but it’s looking more and more like she’s just an ethical person.  If she runs again as an independent, her constituents bloody well better vote her back in.

No doubt she gets back in. If she's kicked out of caucus it'll be interesting to see what happens to Trudeau.

Funny, you'd think an aboriginal woman taking on her white male superiors in a white male dominated profession would be pure gold to these people....and not the boat rocking rat they're trying to paint her as.

Forget the 100,000 jobs lost in Alberta but Trudeau is an MP from Quebec FIRST & the 9,000 SNC Lavalin jobs are sacred & MUST BE SAVED so his re-electon will be guaranteed. Nothing else matters. No one else matters. Quebec is such a repugnant & corrupt province.

I partly agree - but how was anyone going to save 100 000 jobs in Alberta?

It's not the saving but a lack of caring. When 2,500 jobs were lost in Oshawa by GM closing the plant down, there's Andrew Scheer playing to the voters in Ontario demanding & getting an emergency sitting of the H of C. Even though there's nothing any politician could have done as GM's corporate mind was already made up. That emergency sitting has never occurred for the energy workers & others in subsidiary industries where people lost their jobs in BC, Alberta & Saskatchewan. Why because the Conservatives know they still have the votes in Western Canada & Trudeau doesn't care as he knows The West is a wilderness for the federal Liberals.

By not making the effects of a down market worse by making decisions that were clearly against the industry based on ideology and spite ?

You want to save those 100k oil jobs? Then the price of oil has to go up and who outside of AB wants that?

Absolutely. Trudeau is hell bent on shutting down the energy industry.

Well anyone who wants an economy should.... you paying much less in gas with the current price vs. 4 years ago? Here is the thing: the price of oil isn't horrible, but canadian oil is devalued because we can't get our product to market because of lack of pipelines, which at this point are a political issue.

If Trudeau hadn't started all this social license nonsense as a backdoor way to shut down the industry and wasn't pandering to Quebec on Energy East, its possible that you have two pipelines to ship those resources and access to world pricing which likely saves some of those jobs.Of course, you also have to deal with a system where we now have unelected, accountable to nobody judges making decisions and foreign groups funding protests which nobody is going to deal with and that the majority of people don't think about.

Funny how Frosty says that no one wants higher oil prices at the pump when the federal carbon tax is set to take effect tomorrow. We're all paying more thanks to progressives like Trudeau & Notley & if Frosty thinks it's bad now just wait until 2022. The only ones I see not upset & happy to pay a carbon tax are mostly single, young Millennial progressives that drink the orange or red kool aid of the NDP & Liberals. The low income, the fixed income seniors on CPP or the disabled, young families will all suffer. Governments are all taking their piece of our wallets & don't even apologize for it. While Trudeau flies around the world on private jets taking expensive holidays, going to unnecessary global UN conferences or hanging out with his friends the political elites in Europe & New York. We pay & pay & pay more.

Liberals: Women must be in positions of power. To be heard. To be believed.

Also Liberals: Throw the rats overboard.

Personally, I don’t believe any Canadian government is going to build a pipeline. Harper might have, but not any of the current leaders.

No I think someone is going to have to build one sooner or later. The reality of the situation is that we need that industry to maintain a strong economy. We're a resource producing country, that's about all we can do.

Why the need to be resource producing when Trudeau can tax Canadians to death. Literally & figuratively.

Also Liberals:  17 current female cabinet ministers.  17 men.

Conservatives at dissolution in 2015:  11 female cabinet ministers.  24 men.

So at least one of the parties walks the walk and doesn't prorogue parliament to avoid scrutiny.

Liberals: Without drastic immediate action our climate will be doomed within a decade.

Also Liberals. 5 cents more for gas? Pfft relax it's nothing..you want notice it.

No they just abuse power and try to cover it up, see SNC-Lavalin Affair, Mark Norman Affair to start.
