I don't how he plans to do that since health care delivery is a provincial responsibility. My former province has a ban on anyone under the age of 16 receiving surgery or the chemical castration drugs. This will be another issue to pit Ottawa against provinces.

- April 11, 2025, 12:53:07 PMIt's the Liberals' environmental policy that scared away at least $300 billion in investment — investment that could have made us stronger in the face of Trump's attacks. Not to mention the tens of thousands of jobs lost. It's the Liberals' "green" obsession that cancelled pipelines that could already be operating to the East and West Coasts in defiance of Trump.
They were the ones who promised a middle-class tax cut during the 2015 campaign, then raised family taxes by $6,000 or more during their time in office.

Quotetaxpayers are getting good value for money spent, totalling more than $200 billion, distributed by the Liberals through 150 government programs administered by 13 federal departments to reduce emissions.
The total number of programs ostensibly aimed at reducing emissions increases to 202 if you include joint agreements between the feds and the provinces and territories.
An investigation by auditor general Karen Hogan of the now-disbanded $1-billion Sustainable Development Technology Fund, aka "the green slush fund", suggests many of these programs may be rife with fraud.
Others, according to environment commissioner Jerry DeMarco, lack transparency and may be overestimating and/or double-counting emission cuts, as well as basing their calculations on outdated computer modelling.
Given Carney's plan to continue imposing carbon taxes on Canadians through the Liberals' industrial carbon tax and by imposing tariffs on many imported goods — raising prices for Canadian consumers — this $200 billion-plus fiasco cries out for a forensic audit.
Especially given that parliamentary budget officer Yves Giroux has reported that Canada's emissions — at 1.5% of the global total — are too small to materially impact climate change.

Canada's Environmental Impact Assessment would have been the first thing eliminated if Trump was president. It wastes public and private money with the end result always no development.
Poilivere recognizes that and that is why he will repeal it and streamline regulations to get energy to new markets.
I'm still disappointed that he is acting like a liberal in creating government departments though.

Look, I know a few of you here think the solution to govern more effectively is to create more government, I've long been of the opinion that government of any stripe is a fundamentally inefficient way of getting shit done and that creating more of it simply results in more inefficiency.I have always favoured market solutions over government inefficiency.
Get the government out of the way as much as is possible, stop paying for the non-productive flunkies to fatten their arses in office chairs while dreaming up new and ever more ridiculous fantasies of why they need to keep drawing a paycheque. I'm not calling for anarcho-capitalism here, but it seems to me you could get those pipelines laid a lot faster with less bullshit from public servants whose understanding of what is involved needs to be spoonfed to them by a bunch of advisors and activists.

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.He repeated the other night at one of his massive Canada First rallies he would repeal the Impoact Assessment.

- April 10, 2025, 09:36:19 AMQuote from: Brent on April 09, 2025, 12:40:20 PMCarney 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.I must say I am disappointed with Poilievre's stated course of creating more government to solve a problem that could benefit from less.

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.
