Well, it’s not like the examples from every country in the world with these ridiculous internal tariffs wasn’t enough warning.
It is pure industrial suicide. David Cameron’s government is now considering what it can do to help the steelworks. He ought to have thought it all through more carefully before signing up to Ed Miliband’s Climate Change Act.
Oh, hello, PM Trudeau, Premier Wynne.
Link added. TY Adrian.
No link source, just goes to comment thread.
No link. Is this the steel plant that Pachuri, the IPCC *&#@ head got paid to close and relocate to India about five years back?
That was just the more obvious exposed beginning of what they want to do to the rest of western industrialization.
Consequences?
None.
The Guild of Parasites get us marks coming and going.
First they destroy all productive activity,stealing from the producers and rewarding the destructive.
Carefully funnelling the money through their filtering system, the well connected are enriched, the taxpayers robbed.
Then these same crew, presented by new faces, claim they have the cure for the evils they unleashed, which they win elected office on, then proceeding to screw things up even further for the productive .
While filtering the taxpayers money through their well connected friends.
Kleptocracy Rules.
Then these government created millionaires move to a “safe haven” to get away from the cesspit they have enabled.
God help me; but I dislike the In-Bred Aristocracy as much as Cumberland hated the Highland Scots in the “45”.
Luckily here in Canada our PM is all for the Canada East pipeline once it passes the necessary environmental assessments, including recycled ones. IOW, not going to happen under the Butts, I mean Trudeau, watch.
John R, gotta agree progressives cause poverty then claim the poor as their constituency, along with all the pet ideas that can conceive to gain power and diminish free enterprise, which they view as their competition. Realists think with their brains, while progressives know in their hearts.
It is moves, tax it, if it keeps moving, regulate it, if it stops moving, subsidize it. Remember telepathic violent do-gooders are Donald’s victims, even the planned and executed violence by MoveOn.org and the other usual suspects. Progressive SOP is to keep above the fray, except to send in attack dogs to shut up, with bigoted viciousness, anyone who dares to disagree or even veer “off message,” while blaming the fallout on the victims, forcing them to live by your rules with no such compunction the other way.
Progressiveness without this double standard is mute and impotent. Lying is the new narrative paradigm. How could hypocrisy give them any pause?
Or, to be on the safe side, paralysis by analysis is the default, ensuring continuing flow of (record number for current government) requests for largesse, and control over every possible activity or thought.
Velvet totalitarianism is still authoritarian, nobody asked to be coerced into giving their wealth away to dubious social justice causes and other self-interested endeavours, their cronies always well funded with our money, which they claim is theirs. Soon banks will be allowed to join the “party.”
Remember these statists, the mediocracy anti-ethics and other rent seekers already believe the preposterous proposition humans can control the climate. How big a stretch is it to believe government can manage economies, invest in them or create jobs? Perhaps it’s better to put the frog in the pot first before slowly turning up the heat.
Unless somebody steps up to show the citizens the negative opportunity costs of voting for nice guys with nice hair (there just isn’t enough time to 2019 for this government to inflict enough pain to turn them off), they will again rule for decades. Yes, they’re back.
They stopped Harper by lumping him in with the establishment, the mediocracy scrubbing any notion Grits invented the establishment. When the US clones stop Trump, Cruz or any RINO parachuted in puppet, the statists will be free to go full socialist. It will be a bittersweet moment for Bernie, but with the time he has left, he can be their vanguard for the deindustrialization of America into a beltway metro elite and suburban/rural peasantry; except their super PACs, unions, donors and all the upper crust resort gated communities who keep the starving political zombies at bay.
Then Hillary et al can get to work on moulding the USA into a one party state. A much poorer one in a much more dangerous world, but with them in charge of the money, I mean power, I mean government, I mean our day to day lives; and their privilege.
It’ll be the same in Canada soon. There is no way on earth you can make steel with the energy output of wind mills.
What? Have you no faith in Canadian technology? (sarcasm = off)
Can’t they just smelt steel with windpower? Or maybe they could use solar panels?
….”their cronies always well funded with our money, which they claim is theirs. Soon banks will be allowed to join the “party.”
I know exactly what you mean. It ticks me off to no end when the bank of which I am a shareholder, makes ‘donations’ or creates ‘foundations’ spending shareholder’s money on all kinds of social justice or green causes.
Corporate sucking up is just so unappealing.
No Guff
Then move it ASAP and tell them why. Though why you would have money over and above whats needed on a day to day basis in a bank is beyond me, but each to their own.
