Perhaps we would not be in this predicament had the current federal government not spent years doing everything in their power to stymie oil production and the construction of export infrastructure. The Liberals would be shocked at how quickly a free market could ramp up production, but allowing a free market to function is about the last thing they would do.
“Let’s be reasonable, we can’t help Europe with oil,” Steven Guilbeault said in an interview with Bloomberg News. “Our export capacity is pretty much maxed out. We’re building a pipeline. It’s just going in the wrong direction and the idea that we somehow could start to build a bunch of new infrastructure in Canada and it would magically happen — either for gas or for oil — is not very serious.”
We can’t help Europe with oil. No one can. Except Russia. That’s the pickle.
Did he burst into flames after saying that?
If it had been Trump invading Ukraine, they would not stop at anything short of full complete annihilation.
Don’t worry JT and crew, unicorns, rainbows and all that.
Turn handles on lines to TO, Ottawa, and Quebec, sell gas for twice price to US. let the woke folks figure it out. BTW, can’t transport food to you, that uses fossil fuels, a major baddy. You’ll figure it out, you are the experts, right?
When it hits the woke folks, the narrative WILL change, they’ll come for the kulaks. Just watch, socialism 101, they caused it, other pay and suffer.
As one commenter said;
‘Letting them freeze in the dark, no blogging, no laptop to keep them warm, no stove inside the basement to cook their frozen foods, is much too good for these idiots. ‘
Go Go Gadget Guilbeault isn’t serious either. He’s an enviro-idiot with no concept how the real world works. Pretty much like the rest of Adolf Castreau’s junta.
It isn’t a serious idea because he and Blackie will make damn sure it isn’t.
He reminds me of some greasy, slimy Turdball my cat horked up.
He’s our version of USA Pete Buttazz.
He is an ideologue. For him, it is necessary for people to die in the furtherance of the cause. After all, what cause could be greater than “Saving the Planet” [TM]
CP24 report this afternoon: record-high gas prices in the GTA.
“Exxxxxxxcellent, Smithers.”
You voted for this, GTA, and now you’re getting it, good and hard. Enjoy!
What most of the citizens of Canuckistan do NOT realize, the cost of energy “flows through” in ALL things. They tend to focus on “their costs” heat, light, power for “them” .
Fact is, every public service, every public building, every water service, waste service, everything their “fees” , bills, and taxes covers flows to them. YUP, only one payer, the citizen, one way or another, it’s gonna cost them.
The pain has just started, the standard of living will be eroded, welcome to servitude inflicted by your masters, you ARE gonna pay. Because, the govs etc only have one source of income. The taxpayer, the citizen, YOU.
Best be aware. Just saying, the woke gen may or will wake up, rest of folks just gonna get creamed by inflation and increased costs. No way out till the takers are tossed, and makers are not vilians.
Wake up folks, the SHOW is just starting.
Go Long Pig.
yep, and most of the refineries are still producing winter blends, expect it to go higher once they start switching to summer blends around the beginning of May
Never thought I’d live to see the day when the Hawg cost $40 to fill.
Me either. Used to be $5 – #1

It’ll be tougher and tougher to oppress us as prices skyrocket and civil unrest happens.
Sweet.

Even though “green” energy is a pipe dream, one would thing that the prudent thing would be to get the new infrastructure in place before limiting tried-and-true petrochemical sources. But no.
“Let’s be reasonable” coming from Convict Guilbeault’s lips. You can’t make this stuff up.
L – Higher levels of production of LNG/oil reduces the price, which in turn supports the return to economic activity and lower costs for: manufacturing, transport, food(crop and livestock production), utilities.
If we had an alternative to state sponsored media:
“Why has the Trudeau government pursued a high cost energy policy now lowering
the standard of living for Canadians ? This is for 2022 and every year forward of the Trudeau regime being in power?”
“Did you campaign on this promise in 2021?”
A Free Society requires a Free Press. Citizen driven digital media, step up to the plate!
If not, why not ?”
Liberals will never starve as long as they have YOUR wallet. Shut up and eat your rice cake rations or I’ll shut down your bank account, fire you from your job, or hold you in jail with no chance of parole as you hold opinions that contradicts the governments. And putin is the threat to democracy in the world today.
You @#$%^&## self righteous empty headed freaking morons!
You do not think this is going to happen again?!?!?!?!?
Russia ain’t going away unless you stupid bumbling overcredentialed cretins bumble us into WW3.
Which I would bet $100 on, except I put that C-note and more on more canned food, water, and a few boxes box of 7.62 this week.
I put it on food and ammo because I have seen how badly you Elite Experts have fucked up every previous decision and have gotten us into this f**ked predicament. I know you WILL MAKE IT WORSE!
Build the pipelines. Build the LNG Terminals. Drill the wells. Build some Pollution Free Nuclear Power Plants.
Russia is not going away.
China is Rising.
Iran is not going away.
Next Week You are giving Iran the Pathway to Nuclear Weapons.
The Mid East has been the Mid East since Before the Peoples in the Mid East started recording history.
Build the pipelines! Drill the Wells!
” Build the pipelines! Drill the Wells! “.
Unfortunately, that’s a pipedream.
Everything is working out exactly as they want it to. They wanted us immobilized unemployed and freezing in the dark, to save the planet.
Oh goody.
One of Ukraine’s atomic plants is on fire after being shelled by Russian forces:

They are all madly insane and we sit by and allow it all which makes us all justly mad insane as well ?
This needs to be asked, of each and every one of us
Tick Tock
Our Time is Running Out
Free Man, “They are all madly insane and we sit by and allow it all which makes us all justly mad insane as well ?” Yup!
I think they just put new batteries in the Doomsday clock. Unfortunately, the batteries were too big, and the clock is now running at double time. Anyone got popcorn?
That’s a false flag.
Zelensky’s trying nuclear blackmail to get NATO into the war for real. He’s a dead man walking. He has nothing to lose.
“That’s a false flag.”
Just…wow.
Update: Apparently the fire is in a training building outside the perimeter of the actual plant itself.
Something about the Ukrainians running around yelling like Chicken Little….
The Ruskies just want to control the thing, they don’t want to blow it up.
Emperor Justine of Putinea..Formerly Eastern Can Ahh Duh.
Soon to be blessed in the West as Patron and Cause of Western Separation.
When the Canada Trudeau Buck equals 40c USA and gasoline is way past $10/gallon…
Yah think Western Citizens might start feeling the pain?
Milch Cow of Canada,possessors of immense resources and talent..Forbidden to use either,by Brain Dead Parasites from our East..Yet relentlessly taxed to support the nasty habits of these same “helpers”..
Good Times indeed.
$1.91 for heating oil today’s fill up. Less than a month ago filled up for $1.66. Carbon tax going up. Bring the pain. Only thing that is going to bring so many to a chance to be intelligent. Economy is being set up for a crash.
Guilbeaut is a cnut
What’s Greta been up to lately? I haven’t heard much out of her corner lately.
Maybe she’s getting lucky.
It wasn’t that long ago that we had a PM who pushed (maybe not hard enough, but still…) to have Trans Canada have a pipeline for western oil to get to the East Coast. “Harper prefaced his remarks by saying the federal government will remain independent from the project and ensure it is properly regulated. But he also repeatedly said the idea was “exciting” and praised the private sector’s efforts to make it a reality. “It’s a project that will assure all of Canada will benefit from our energy industry,” he said. “We will have a large amount to sell to the world, but for the first time we will have the capacity to sell our own products to our citizens.” https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/prime-minister-says-pipeline-to-east-coast-helps-build-canadian-energy-security-1.1403006

Friendly reminder that starving and freezing in the dark is no longer your worst case scenario.
A false-flag operation is being conducted against Ukraine’s biggest nuclear power plant in an desperate ploy by Zelensky to bring NATO into his dirty little war and give them a rationale to use nuclear weapons against Russia.
They’re putting on quite a show. But it will only take one shell going the wrong way to cause a meltdown dwarfing Chernobyl.
“A false-flag operation is being conducted against Ukraine’s biggest nuclear power plant in an desperate ploy by Zelensky to bring NATO into his dirty little war and give them a rationale to use nuclear weapons against Russia.”
That ‘scrip that ran out last month? Time to get it refilled.
… but allowing a free market to function is about the last thing they would do.
That’s exactly what President Trump did for America. He allowed our markets to function. He rolled back stifling regulations and government control. And America … THRIVED. The People of America … THRIVED!!
Which is exactly WHY … The Democrat Left, led by HER … did everything possible to DESTROY Trump. Success like that MUST . BE . DESTROYED . When conservatives SUCCEED … the Left MUST destroy them. These are sick, sick, people we’re dealing with … sick, sick, puppies.
Sick enough to start a nuclear war with Russia out of nothing but spite and malice.
Guess what? Lower oil prices for the past year like we had in January 2021?
Back when Gas in America was abouy $2 a gallon? $60-70/ bbl for oil?
Putin does not have enough extra money to finance his Navy, Army, and Air Force if he does not have high oil prices, and more oil sales.
Putin would not have had enough extra money for fuel, weapons and everything else to conquer Ukraine.
Who knows? Putin might not have enough cash left now to conquer Ukraine, even with $100 bbl oil?
See, this is what happens when we don’t have roving bands of Romanians sick of governmental bullsh–.
Barrack Obama once said something along the lines of “we can’t drill our way to lower gas prices”. Donald Trump came along and showed just how ignorant Barry was on that point (and a lot of other points that we won’t go into here). Then Joe came along and decided to stick it to the teeming masses of the world by restricting oil production in the U. S. Giving due deference to the fact that Joe Biden is a booger-eating moron, he had to know he was going to bring about skyrocketing gas prices. He didn’t / doesn’t give a rip. Which should tell anyone with half sense and one eye just how much liberals care about “the working man”.
Says the radical anti-oil so-called environmentalist who has never worked in the industry, just worked to destroy it.
I’m waiting for the new defense minister, a former Russian oligarch, to tell us there’s nothing more we can do about Russia.
Yes, I made that up, but so did Guilbeault, who’s only accomplishment is trying to deprive Canadians of their the lifeblood and birthright.
