Among provinces in the federation, only Alberta must go through the humiliating ritual of grovelling and negotiating with the federal government to develop its industries and export its products. Ontario's premier doesn't have to beg for permission to expand automotive manufacturing, nor does Quebec have to snivel if it wants to expand a maple syrup plantation. Alberta, however, is reduced to having to offer concessions to be allowed to do what every other oil-producing jurisdiction on the planet does without hesitation.
There is little indication that the federal government has any interest in allowing Alberta to expand its resource production and export infrastructure. Carney has talked and talked and talked for over a year now, and we aren't an inch closer to getting something done than we were a year ago. Premier Danielle Smith keeps setting deadlines, and they keep passing. Now, Smith is celebrating that she and Carney have more officially entrenched the MOU they created long ago, but what does that mean?
Has Carney repealed the "No More Pipelines Act," which has stalled development in Alberta for years?
Has Carney repealed the tanker ban on the West Coast despite tankers constantly docking in Eastern Canadian ports?
Has Carney retracted his assertion that indigenous consent will be required to get projects constructed?
Has Carney retracted his assertion that provincial permission must be attained by BC or Quebec to get pipelines constructed?
Unless all of these things have been done, nothing of note will be expanding in Alberta. Canada is uncompetitive on the world market and will remain so until the government chooses to get out of the damn way.
No pipeline has ever been talked into the ground, but Carney and Smith appear determined to try that method.
According to an RBC report, over a trillion dollars in potential investment has already fled Canada in the last decade, and most of that was potential oil and gas investment. The conditions causing that capital flight haven't been addressed, thus the flight will only continue.
If Mark Carney truly wants to see these projects done, he can say so any time. He can declare these projects to be in the national interest and that he will use his constitutional authority to get them done. He won't do that, though. He just offers mealy-mouthed promises and more negotiations. His Major Projects Office was created almost a year ago with the ostensible goal of fast-tracking approvals. So far, it hasn't approved a single project. I think we can safely call that initiative a failure. It is an office of false hopes and continued deferral. Nothing more. And it appears to be that way by design.
Carney pretends the holdup is with a lack of interest from private investors, but that's an outright lie. Private companies desperately want to produce and export more oil and gas while world energy prices spike. They have made no secret of what's holding them up.
Cenovus CEO Jon McKenzie called Canada's energy policies "myopically focused on the climate agenda," arguing they have made "resource development and investment in the country uncompetitive with the rest of the world."

By the way, @It's Poppy - did you observe Admin sucking any cocks while you were there or was he too busy day dreaming about sniffing Joe Biden's soiled drawers ?

Quote from: It's Poppy on May 18, 2026, 02:49:16 PMOne woman inmate stood out, she resembled a Woodstock Witch mixed with a Charles Manson groupie. She had clumsily carved "Trump Sucks" using a dinner fork onto her forehead and was raving nonstop about his presidency. The few other women I observed were all snaggle-toothed beats trudging around like giants from Greek mythology searching for Kentucky fried chicken buckets to devour.

I recently got an Uber to drive me over to The Bastard Factory and would like to post a review.
I would not be exaggerating in saying that forum appears to be modeled and run like an 18th-century institution for severely disabled persons.
The first thing that leaps out is the nonstop cacophony of infantile babbling from the elderly inmates, all of whom appear dirty and covered in their own feces. A man named jackassass could be seen gyrating around like he was having numerous seizures while laughing wildly. He was clad in a huge diaper held up by an ammunition belt stuffed with binkies. I saw him parading through the halls like a Temu version of Napoleon, spitting out non sequiturs and innumerable kindergarten level insults. I later learned he was a legendary "Troll King", whatever the fuck that is.
Another man wearing a bright pink shirt rode a stationary bike nonstop, claiming to be delivering door-dash meals to his fellow inmates.

The rest of the miscreants were more cliche than actual human people, you had the chronic masturbators synchronously slapping their little peckers oblivious to anything else. You had people that could best be characterized as generic supermarket cereal, more like place holders to make the institution look a lot more crowded than it really was. Their major function was to shit on the floor, and the more shit they produced, the happier the owner became. The owner was also photographing the shit for some strange reason.
Speaking about the owner, he stood motionless in a dark part of the building moaning about the lack of donations he was receiving. He claimed he was doing God's work by sheltering these useless degenerates and offering them a simulated life. To accentuate this accomplishment, he shouted "Good morning," and every single inhabitant within earshot swiveled their heads like automatons, stared straight at the owner with dead eyes and shouted "Good Morning" right back at him. It chilled me to my bones and I quickly thanked him for his time and left.

"Truck Drivin' Man" is a country classic written by Terry Fell, who was originally from Dora, Alabama. Since covered too many times to count, it was originally released in 1954 under the name of Terry Fell & The Fellers. An interesting factoid is that the legendary Buck Owens, band member at the time, provided the harmony vocals:
Amen.
Amen.
