Two big oil companies, Chevron and Exxon, have announced they’re going to invest $36.8 billion dollars US to expand their existing oil project in Kazakhstan, in Central Asia.
British Petroleum announced $8 billion to build liquefied natural gas infrastructure in Indonesia. A large Italian oil company announced $4 billion to develop offshore gas in Egypt.
Because in the eyes of world investors, the governments of Kazakhstan, Indonesia and Egypt are safer investment risks than Rachel Notley’s NDP. http://www.therebel.media/chevron_exxon_invest_36_billion_in_kazakhstan_instead_of_alberta
Why the World Is Rebelling Against ‘Experts’
Joel Kotkin http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/07/03/brexit-and-beyond-the-great-unruly-rebellion-against-the-neo-liberal-crony-capitalists.html
An unconventional, sometimes incoherent, resistance arises to the elites who keep explaining why changes that hurt the middle class are actually for its own good.
The Great Rebellion is on and where it leads nobody knows.
Its expressions range from Brexit to the Trump phenomena and includes neo-nationalist and unconventional insurgent movement around the world. It shares no single leader, party or ideology. Its very incoherence, combined with the blindness of its elite opposition, has made it hard for the established parties across what’s left of the democratic world to contain it.
What holds the rebels together is a single idea: the rejection of the neo-liberal crony capitalist order that has arisen since the fall of the Soviet Union. For two decades, this new ruling class could boast of great successes: rising living standards, limited warfare, rapid technological change and an optimism about the future spread of liberal democracy. Now, that’s all fading or failing.
Living standards are stagnating, vicious wars raging, poverty-stricken migrants pouring across borders and class chasms growing. Amidst this, the crony capitalists and their bureaucratic allies have only grown more arrogant and demanding. But the failures of those who occupy what Lenin called “the commanding heights” are obvious to most of the citizens on whose behalf they claim to speak and act.
The Great Rebellion draws on five disparate and sometimes contradictory causes that find common ground in frustration with the steady bureaucratic erosion of democratic self-governance: class resentment, racial concerns, geographic disparities, nationalism, cultural identity. Each of these strains appeals to different constituencies, but together they are creating a political Molotov cocktail.
A strong Alberta is seen as a threat to the globalists. That does hurt though. I think our economy will be seriously weakened over the next several years. I see nothing positive on the horizon, and after viewing pics of the PM at the Pride parade, it is clear that his priorities are elsewhere.
It’s not just because of the NDP govt. Kazakhstan, Indonesia and Egypt are safer investment risks because they also don’t have those pesky environmental groups and aboriginals making it difficult and expensive to develop their resources.
Until the CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF CANADA embraces OSOYOOS BC’S FIRST NATIONS BAND CHIEF CLARENCE LOUIE in a PARTY LEADERSHIP ROLE, they will live in relative POLITICAL OBSCURITY IN CANADA!

To LindaL and Jean, I’m thinking, especially after reading Joel Kotkin’s article in the Daily Beast, that isn’t this where Maurice Strong wanted the west to go, to basically collapse industrially?
Clarence Louie would be a great leader of the Conservative Party … how can the LIEberals attack a “native” leader? This would be racists.
I mentioned before several months ago that he would be my choice. Not to sure how the “natives” will react because he actually is respected for his policies on native affairs (… at least he should be in charge of Indian affairs.)
Yes, that was Maurice Strong’s vision/dream, a total collapse of industrialized Western world as he holed up in China for years.
Ha ! Too funny … that Country star is EVEN above the Mountie Law ! I wonder whether Hillary is also above Canadian Law … let’s see … hmmm … boy Trudeau ? Yep … Hillary would get-away murder in Canada too.
When Sea Ice Expands It’s Due To Nature, When It Melts It’s Due To Humans http://www2.ucar.edu/atmosnews/121622/expanding-antarctic-sea-ice-linked-natural-variability The recent trend of increasing Antarctic sea ice extent — seemingly at odds with climate model projections — can largely be explained by a natural climate fluctuation, according to a new study led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
This is the CTV’s idea of a poll question:
When should Canadians get gender-neutral identity documents?
As soon as possible
645 (24 %)
As part of broader legislation
2094 (76 %)

I’m starting to get a wee bit concerned for the state of humanity. Hard to understand how Mother Nature could make so many errors in design, gotta be something to do with the environment we are living in. Could it be genetically modified foods? Could it be in the water supplies? Could it be confusing kids at an early age, too much information too soon? We gotta find out and fast.
