“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.

Trudeau stresses balancing economy, environment during brief Calgary Stampede visit

By Lauren Krugel ~~ The Canadian Press / Global News ~~ July 13, 2019


Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told Liberal supporters their party is best positioned to get major projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion built because it’s able to take “difficult compromise positions” between growing the economy and protecting the environment.

Trudeau made the remarks at a donor reception Saturday during his annual Calgary Stampede visit, which included fewer public events than in the past.

“Compromise is actually harder and more courageous than sitting on one end of an issue, crossing your arms and saying ‘I’m standing on my principles and I’m not moving,’ because that doesn’t actually require you to listen to another point of view,” he said at a cafe on the 21st floor of a downtown office tower.

Trudeau lecturing on the arts of balance and compromise is hilarious, ironic and perfectly normal – for an egotistical, schizophrenic, totalitarian sociopath. His self-portrayal as captain courageous is not the picture we have of his past four years.

Declaring climate change to be a national emergency is not a logical or rational decision.

Employing a universal carbon tax and demanding that provinces comply or face having the tax federally imposed is not a compromise.

Trudeau needs to sit down with Catherine McKenna and explain that she is losing her position as environment minister as she is unwilling to engage in compromise, refuses to consider other opinions and her view is not balanced between the economy and environment.

Imposing ridiculously severe environmental laws is not balanced or reasonable. Imposing environmental laws without extensive consultations with the provinces is not a compromise position.

Trudeau recently accused premiers who have gone to court to challenge his carbon tax legislation of playing political games when that is all he and his advisors in the PMO do.

It is frightening that Trudeau is expressing how others should deal with conflicting issues but he has no intention of following those rules. It’s a classic example of “do as I say, not as I do”. Only someone with severe personality disorders expects to get away with this blatant deception.

NDP Sits on $61 Million With No Start Date for Burnaby Hospital

Phase 2 of Burnaby Hospital redevelopment  was green lit to go ahead in September 2023 The NDP spent $45 million on the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, cancelled the second phase, and now has another $61 million listed for the project in the province’s Public Accounts, with no start date for construction. If the NDP cancelled the project, what is happening to the $61 million set aside for it? The Phase 2 project was expected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion and was intended to expand the hospital’s capacity. With Burnaby’s population growing and residents struggling to access healthcare, the government should be investing in healthcare capacity, not leaving millions of dollars tied up in limbo. “The NDP spent $45 million on this project before cancelling it, and now $61 million remains listed for it in the Public Accounts,” said MLA Misty Van Popta, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure. “If the government isn’t going to build the hospital expansion, it should explain whe...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...
