Working Folks Aint Voting for Conman and the Liberals a Fourth Time

I think Quebec will go along with Carney's plans cuz they know their survival as a language and culture depends on new pipelines and refineries in Eastern Canada.

Plus closer ties with the EU would favor Quebec since it identifies culturally with Europe Brent Brent

Mind I agree that the reason this infrastructure was never built was Quebec had previously blocked it. But I don't think they have a choice to accept them anymore or not.

Jo Jo Sweetie, I explained to you after we had sex last night that no new pipelines will be built during a Mark Carney government.

Remember Sugarplum, he has promised to keep production caps, and Bill C-69. That ensures there will never be another pipeline crossing provincial borders built while he is Canada's prime minister. Mr Carney hates Canada's abundant energy reserves.

The only way Quebec will leave Canada is if Alberta and Saktchewan leave first and take their equalization money with them.

So, Prime Minister Mark Carney won't repeal the federal Liberals' Impact Assessment Act (IAA) if they are re-elected. That means two things: Carney's not serious about diversifying Canada's economy and making Canada less dependent on the U.S.

And Carney's pledge "to build one strong Canadian economy" is bogus. His vision of a unified national economy clearly doesn't include Alberta and Saskatchewan.

If your province produces oil, it's not part of Mark Carney's fairy tale plan for transitioning to a rich, prosperous, net-zero economy.

All of this will make it harder to insulate our economy and standards of living from new American tariffs.

Oil is Canada's biggest export, its biggest source of government revenue from a single industry and the biggest single source of our GDP.

You cannot make Canada's economy "the fastest growing economy in the G7" (another Carney pledge) without its biggest source of export income.

Mark Conman promised more money for the CBC to stop misinformation.

Let me guess, he's stumping up for the lumber needed to board up all the doors of the CBC and lock the staff out?

He wants to give them an additional $150 million per year.

Mark Carney attacks, deflects, and attacks when asked about his financial assets.

We know Mark Carney is very likely owed future bonuses from the multi-billion dollar Brookfield funds that he set-up and managed. And these performance bonuses are directly to investments he made at Brookfield.

Mark Carney refuses to denounce tax havens. He is still putting his money into them.

That's a lot of lumber.

Carney and his Libs, like Poilievre and his Conservatives, say they favour faster approval of major energy projects and just one set of hearings/approvals. But Carney has also said he will not get rid of the Impact Assessment Act, also known as the No More Pipelines Act. It's called that because that's what its goal is — to tie up pipelines and other megaprojects in so many hearings and so much red tape that they never get built.

By contrast, in Terrace, B.C. on Monday, Poilievre proposed a new office to speed up regulatory approval of big projects and pledged to assign it the task of swiftly authorizing 10 resource projects that have been stalled for up to a decade. These include the second phase of the northern B.C. LNG pipeline and terminal, a new port for mineral exports in Quebec, a new uranium mine in Saskatchewan and probably even a $21-billion Teck Resources oilsands mine in Alberta that had the approval of all 14 Indigenous communities around it but was cancelled by the Liberals anyway.

While both leaders' promises are similar, who do you think is more likely to follow through?

Of course, Carney followed through on Poilievre's promise to axe the consumer carbon tax, but then immediately followed up with a promise to create a new corporate carbon tax that will just get passed on to consumers.

Liberal times are hard times. Changing the puppet for the puppeteer doesn't change that.

I must say I am disappointed with Poilievre's stated course of creating more government to solve a problem that could benefit from less. He really ought to cast an eye over what is happening south of the border... maybe consider repealing that Impact Assessment Act instead of spending money Canada does not have to create departments as a workaround for it.
