Mark Carney says his government may not prioritize pipelines to deal with the U.S. trade war. The Liberal leader earlier said President Donald Trump's tariff threats provided an opening to develop Canada's energy resources, if socially acceptable.

On Sunday, Radio-Canada host Guy A. Lepage said that building a pipeline takes time, while the trade war is happening now. During the interview, Carney appeared less committed to building a pipeline immediately.

So, there you have it. Mark Carney does not see market diversification as a priority.

I'm hearing more talk of Alberta leaving Canada recently.

I know that Canada holds back Alberta's potential. I would like to see the source though.

This is part of Reform Party founder Preston Manning's op-ed on a vote for Mark Carnage is a vote for Western secession.

QuoteVoters, particularly in central and Atlantic Canada, need to recognize that a vote for the Carney Liberals is a vote for Western secession – a vote for the breakup of Canada as we know it. If you couldn't care less about the concerns or actions of Western Canada, then ignore this unsolicited advice. But understand that separation of the resources-based economic engine of Western Canada from what's left of the rest of Canada will have dire economic and social consequences for the latter.

The next prime minister of Canada, if it remains Mark Carney, would then be identified in the history books, tragically and needlessly, as the last prime minister of a united Canada.

Carney wants to make Canada an energy superpower with Net Zero. That means trampling on provincial jurisdiction and forcing them to get rid of cheap efficient energy sources like natural gas. That means no new resource development and of course our number one revenue earning export is landlocked and dependent on the US market.

This is why there will be a unity crisis under his watch.

Saskatchewan too.

Mark Carney says Canadians, including Canadian companies, should pay their fair share of taxes.

The problem is that the Liberal leader thinks that applies to you but not to him or the companies he helps run.

According to calculations done by the NDP, Mark Carney has helped Brookfield Asset Management – the company he was formerly chair of – avoid $5.3 billion in Canadian taxes since 2021.

It turns out that Carney setting up $25 billion worth of investment funds in Bermuda, a well-known tax haven, is just the tip of the iceberg. According to the NDP though, Brookfield only paid a third of that amount.

"Between 2021 and 2024, Brookfield's annual reports show they made $23.3 billion USD in income. At Canada's corporate tax rate of 26.4%, they should have paid $6.1 billion in taxes," the NDP said in a statement. "But they only paid $2 billion – leaving a tax gap of $4.1 billion USD or $5.3 billion CAD."

That's a staggering tax gap for a progressive politician who portrays himself as someone who is looking out for Canadians.

Reform Party founder Preston Manning said a vote for Mark Carney's Liberals is a vote for Western secession.

"The next prime minister of Canada, if it remains Mark Carney, would then be identified in the history books, tragically and needlessly, as the last prime minister of a united Canada," Manning said.

Mark Conman confirmed this week that his party will not repeal Bill C-69 if his party forms the next government.

It's been dubbed the "no more pipelines" law and challenged in both the Alberta Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada, both of which ruled it unconstitutional. The Alberta court called it "a constitutional Trojan Horse" and said it "tears apart the constitutional division of power." The Supreme Court of Canada agreed.

Carney is "thumbing his nose at the Constitution," said former Alberta premier and former federal cabinet minister Jason Kenney.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith posted a dire warning on X: "Make no mistake. If this law stays, there will be few, if any, large-scale energy infrastructure projects built in this country and Alberta and Saskatchewan will be cut off from international markets. This means Canada will become more vulnerable to and overly dependent on the United States."

Quote from: Herman on March 31, 2025, 09:23:46 PMThree provinces could leave. I will vote yes if Trump offers Saskatchewan a good deal and Moe puts it to a referendum. Why stay and let some globalist wanker bully us into poverty.

I would not blame anyone who would. The Liberals do not share average Canadians' goal of liberty and prosperity anymore.

Quote from: DKG on March 31, 2025, 07:03:59 AMNow it is Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe who is setting up a showdown with Mark Carney. He is refusing to impose Carney's new industrial carbon tax on businesses in his province.

Meanwhile, Mark Carney issued an alarming threat to slap an export tax on Alberta oil and gas, a reckless move that would cripple the province's economy.

Also, the PQ is looking like it will return to power in Quebec. Party leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon reiterated on Sunday his pledge for a third referendum on independence should his party take power in the next election. Likely in 2027.

Mark Carney's term will be consumed with disunity.

They'll lose another referendum if they try again DKG DKG.

Quebeckers the days are more interested in self-preservation, not separation.

It wouldn't make any sense cuz then their province & culture would be even more vulnerable to being swallowed up by the United States than it is now.
