Poilievre argues Carney has 'wasted an entire year' on possible Alberta pipeline


Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the prime minister has "wasted an entire year" deliberating a potential new oil pipeline out of Alberta — criticism that comes after Mark Carney said a new pipeline is "more probable than possible."

"He's been prime minister for a year and he still hasn't even made up his mind whether he supports a pipeline," Poilievre told reporters at a news conference in Toronto on Sunday morning. "He's wasted an entire year" ...

    To me, this looks like the Leader of the Opposition doing what he often does politically. The Prime Minister, by contrast, has taken off the table the idea that Ottawa is categorically opposed to pipelines and, through the MOU, effectively put the ball in Alberta’s court with defined parameters.

    That said, there’s a broader disconnect between political rhetoric and corporate reality.

    Pipelines make the most sense in a high‑growth environment where production is scaling rapidly. But if companies are prioritizing cash flow over expansion, incremental egress may be sufficient for a long‑lived, stable production base.

    After the 2014–16 collapse and the 2020 shock, the industry shifted. Windfalls today are largely used to pay down debt, strengthen balance sheets, and fund dividends and buybacks — not to launch new mega‑projects.

    Yet many conservative politicians, including Smith and Poilievre, still talk as if we’re one pipeline away from another 2006‑style boom. The industry itself is behaving like a mature sector: disciplined capex, long‑lived assets, cash returns.

PECKFORD -- Authoritarian governments in our own time, from the Nazi period to the USSR, have crippled democracy and freedom and yet we have not learned

Just come right out and say it ... it’s China ... and it’s communist. So there ... I said it! And its a virus, the corona virus, that came from China — the China Virus. Oh, yah it has a fancy name —but this keeps it simple and identifies its origin. Imagine that!!! Of course, now that Trump has said it, he, being a virus to most China sensitive people (and that’ s just about everyone) none will say it now —- And the political correctness and hypocrisy of it all. The World Health Organization changed all that a few years ago and like sheep we all followed along. No more geographic naming —that’s an order —-George Orwell is turning over in his grave. Of course, this WHO is part of the UN that has a Human Rights Council full of human rights violators whose sole purpose in life is to bring resolutions against the only democracy in the Middle East. Nice civilized crowd don’t you think?? We all put up with this charade every day and conti...

Khadr played upon the democratic freedoms and rights that Canadian have

WELL I CERTAINLY STIRRED UP REACTION when my last post went online , as well as other comments, which were made online elsewhere.  People opposed, to what I had to say, had comments which included the following:   Okay, I'm f - - king sick of the idiocy and done with writing a diatribe every single time a friend posts about how they're upset that Trudeau is giving a terrorist $10m. ... You people are.... willfully ignorant and hypocritical .. ·          God help us. What’s next everybody is “packing”, burning crosses, and having segregated bathrooms.  This rhetoric is disturbing.  Canadians are better than this. My mind is in awe of the number of people who have no respect for what being tortured actually means. Who foolishly think that they wouldn't break ... If our governments are willing to trap and torture people on foreign soil then we h...
