“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

Pipeline protestors are myopic, narrow-minded shills who have one single objective that is contrary to the interests of Canada and her people


Vivian Krause leads fight against Americans who have landlocked the oil sands
David Staples  ~~  Edmonton Journal  ~~  November 14, 2018

It’s not often that powerful American interests are completely open about their success at thwarting a foreign economy, but that’s what happened a year ago when Michael Marx talked up his achievements.

 
Protesters and activists have two goals -- keep Canadian
oil in the ground, and if not, then keep our oil landlocked
“From the very beginning, the campaign strategy was to land-lock the tar sands so their crude could not reach the international market where it could fetch a high price per barrel. This meant national and grassroots organizing to block all proposed pipelines.”

…  co-ordinated two major American charitable foundations, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and The Tides Foundation, in their anti-oilsands fight … campaign has supplied tens of millions in U.S. dollars to groups such as Greenpeace Canada, Idle No More, Leadnow, Living Oceans Society, the Pembina Institute, the Sierra Club, the World Wildlife Fund Canada and various First Nations to battle against the oil sands …

I wonder how many pipeline protestors will admit they are indoctrinated shills of American corporate billionaires. They are not protecting anything other than the foreign bank accounts of the people who pay for organizing them. All that holier than thou, protect our environment posturing is a scam.


Our governments are failing us, by allowing a few hundred foreign organized shills to dictate public policy that affects every one of 36.7 million other Canadians. 

We must strike back and refuse to support any politicians or political party that will not actively promote and support resource development in Canada. 

We can make it an election issue. 

We can appear wherever politicians’ campaign and demand they listen to us and stop throttling our economic lifeblood.   

$100 billion per year is significant lost income that would eliminate our federal budget deficits and allow us to reduce our federal debt, currently standing at over $1.2 trillion. Interest on that debt is just under $29.4 billion or $800 per person per year. Those lost tax dollars do not provide any services or programs -- they go to foreign lenders.

Pipeline protestors are myopic, narrow-minded shills who have one single objective that is contrary to the interests of Canada and her people. They don’t care if our economy tanks and unemployment is rampant if their desires are met. 

They can voice their opinions on their own dime, petition parliament, speak to MPs and otherwise act within our lawful framework, but the thuggery they regularly turn to must not be tolerated. Protesters have no more rights than any other resident, and that must be made clear.   



Protestors who block projects or march without permits or block roads must be arrested, charged and given the choice of community service or jail time ... no fines. 

They might find that doing something useful for their community gives them a new perspective.

Interfor Moves Headquarters Out of BC as Forestry Crisis Continues

NDP policies are driving businesses out of B.C., and the forestry industry just suffered yet another calamity. Interfor, a BC company founded more than 60 years ago and now one of the world's largest lumber producers, is moving its headquarters from Burnaby, BC to Atlanta, Georgia. As BC’s forestry sector faces mill closures and mounting uncertainty, this move is another warning sign that the crisis is deepening and conditions are fatal. “This is the NDP’s record: endless job losses with no hope in sight for the forestry sector,” said Ward Stamer, Shadow Minister for Forestry. “Interfor still has three mills in BC which are now in serious jeopardy, and it is likely we will see even more companies pull out of BC. The NDP government is suffocating the forestry industry with high taxes, excessive regulations, and permitting delays, while DRIPA has made it impossible to plan for the future.” “Decisions like this are sadly not surprising given the NDP’s indifference if not hostility tow...

Okanagan Farmers Face NDP-Created Water Crisis ~~ BC Conservatives

Okanagan farmers are facing a water crisis as government-imposed restrictions threaten to kill their crops and destroy one of B.C.’s most important agricultural industries. In perhaps the most water-rich province in the country, our farmers have been left high and dry by the NDP government. For nine weeks, Okanagan and Shuswap farmers have proposed solutions, only to be met with NDP foot-dragging. Now forest fires have come to these regions as they are simultaneously reckoning with a water crisis that has been made worse through years of government inaction. Vernon-area farms have lost 70 percent of their water, while Kelowna and Summerland growers face severe restrictions. This situation is unacceptable and cannot continue. Ian Paton, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, said the NDP is once again forcing farmers to pay for its own failure to plan. "Farmers and ranchers must be listened to when decisions affecting their livelihoods are made, and under the NDP, they aren’t," said...

NDP Hypocritically Admits Natural Gas Power Was Needed All Along ~~ BC Conservatives

The NDP just got caught buying back the exact kind of power plant it spent years telling British Columbians they didn't need. The NDP government announced today that BC Hydro is purchasing the Island Generation natural gas facility in Campbell River, an admission that its electrification-only energy policy was never realistic. The 275-megawatt plant was originally privately owned yet kept to a minimal backup role under the NDP, operating just 15 days a year on average. Now, with demand outpacing what the NDP's plan can support, the government is spending taxpayer funds on the very gas capacity it once treated as obsolete. "You cannot electrify everything and pretend natural gas doesn't matter," said Larry Neufeld, Shadow Minister for Energy.  "Buying back a gas plant they once wrote off is proof their own plan couldn't keep the lights on. It's a step towards more energy reality, but the government needs to go further and scrap the impending province-w...
