    “TOTAL FAILURE of the climate crusade: Coal power has the same energy share it had 20 years ago

    A couple of days ago, we noted that this year’s edition of BP’s annual Statistical Review of World Energy report on global energy use is out, and it contains one of the most telling charts about the failure of the climate crusade’s “war on coal” ever presented.

    Most of the lamestream media coverage has focused on this particular chart from the BP report, which shows coal having a small uptick in 2017 after several years of decline. Doesn’t look like much, does it? Just a blip. Nothing for the enviro-faithful to worry about, the net trend is still down, right? They are blaming president Trump for it.”

    1. Don’t think the US has built a coal fired plant in a while. But meanwhile:
      a) eco-Germany is building an enormous 1000 Megawatt plant with at least two more planned
      b) Japan has built 8 new coal fired plants with 20 or so on the way
      c) India and China – are building lots, and lots, and lots.

    2. Yet coal plants are shutting down faster under Trump than Obama. Fracking has changed the game in North America.

      1. “Fracking has changed the game”

        It drives the communists nuts that the US pretty much leads the world in CO2 reduction without even trying.

      2. Trump is trying to stop that with his idiotic idea of subsidizing coal and nuclear with forced grid purchases.

    1. Funny how that Communist Bitch now aknowledges that Alberta:

      had a Recession. Using terms like:
      “during the worst of the economic downturn”.

      Said Che loving Communist will be annihilated in 2019..

  8. I remember when Ronald Regan was mocked in Canada. Anybody remember Ronnie Raygun? Back then we were a more conservative country — but the CBC and Students Unions / journalism schools weren’t — although they had a little less influence on our politics than they do now. So Brian Mulroney could get away with serenading Ronald on stage and Canada got a better deal on trade with the US through CUSTA — Canada US Trade Agreement. Anybody remember that?

    Well now we have the Marxist Teachers Colleges to add to the CBC and Journalism schools . Not good. Now your kids live in fear of The Great Tumpkin as their teachers have instructed at school. Add to that a NAFTA negotiating team that has joined the resistance. Can’t even imagine Justin trying to charm Trump on stage as Mulroney did with Regan — remember https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJqehECa2VY? This is what we need now to save a Trade Agreement. But what the hell do I care if Ontario or Michigan builds the North American cars I probably won’t buy anyhow? Out west we’re better off importing Asian Mobiles tariff free — no?

    1. ..and who could forget the 1988 free trade election where hope beat fear and the electorate defied the Liberals and the CBC and voted for free trade. The Liberals ended up liking free trade so much NAFTA was signed.

  9. The US is suffering and will continue to suffer from bad dollar policy. Trump’s overblown tax cuts and deregulation will come to nought because of it.

    “Considered in light of future policy from Republicans, since 2000 they’ve tried tax cuts, faux Keynesian stimulus, bailouts, tariffs, dollar devaluation, and even de-regulation. None have brought back the excitement of the Reagan and Clinton ‘80s and ‘90s. The one thing we’ve never tried since Bush entered the White House are the strong dollar policies that were mostly the norm under Clinton and Reagan. As it stands now the dollar price of gold is five times what it was when Bush entered office. Is it any surprise that productivity has sagged in concert with such a substantial devaluation?”

    1. Yes of course its the fault of brown people, who oddly don’t cause the same problems in Toronto or Calgary.

      1. You really are that stupid. If you don’t keep stats, you can’t report them .
        “Twenty-six years ago, a staff inspector by the name of Julian Fantino — future Toronto police chief — sat in a small committee room and delivered a slew of explosive race-based crime statistics focused on the Jane-Finch neighbourhood.

        Fantino, then head of 31 Division, told North York’s committee on community, race and ethnic relations that, while blacks made up 6 per cent of the Jane-Finch population, they accounted for 82 per cent of robberies and muggings, 55 per cent of purse-snatchings and 51 per cent of drug offences in the previous year.

        The Star’s Royson James was apparently the only reporter present. He duly filed a story that appeared on the next day’s front page. All hell broke loose”

    “Ramifications of a trade war: an expert look at the numbers for Canada”

    “As experts try to get a handle on the economic impacts, here are some telling numbers about the deepening trade battle:

    0.2 percentage points — the reduction to Canada’s growth in gross domestic product in 2019, if NAFTA falls apart and 3.8 per cent tariffs are imposed across the board, according to Scotiabank’s recent report.

    0.4 percentage points — the reduction to Canada’s GDP growth in 2020, if NAFTA falls apart and 3.8 per cent tariffs are imposed across the board.

    0.2 percentage points — the reduction to Canada’s GDP growth next year, if NAFTA talks extend past the second quarter of 2019 and tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos are in place, Scotiabank estimates.

    1.8 per cent — the size of the contraction for the Canadian economy in 2020 if the U.S. launches an “all out” global trade war with an average of 20 per cent tariffs across the board with all partners, according to Scotiabank.

    3.1 per cent — the share of Canada’s total merchandise exports affected by U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs, according to data provided by Export Development Canada’s deputy chief economist Stephen Tapp.”

    Stupid Liberal Justine’s War on Canadians.

    >>> “This is the fight of our lives. This is existential. This literally deals with our existence. This is as big and as serious as it can possibly be,” Lee said, calling suggestions Canada could easily pivot to other trading partners like Europe and China “pure fantasy.”

    “Canada in for fight of its life in NAFTA talks: expert

    Canada will not get out of these NAFTA negotiations without giving President Donald Trump something to boast to electors about back home, an expert on free trade says.

    Ian Lee, an associate professor with Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business, argued Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should put the country’s protected industries on the table, including the supply management system that controls the production and price of agricultural products including dairy.

    “This is the fight of our lives. This is existential. This literally deals with our existence. This is as big and as serious as it can possibly be,” Lee said, calling suggestions Canada could easily pivot to other trading partners like Europe and China “pure fantasy.””

    ““I’ve argued that if we want to have a trade agreement, our overarching strategic objective must be not to protect the dairy farmers, not to protect the telecom, not to protect banks, not to protect airlines,” Lee said. “Our strategic objective should be to obtain clear complete access to the totality of the U.S. $20-trillion economy without any tariffs whatsoever and with a dispute mechanism.

    “And if we have to put those protected industries on the table as bargaining chips, so be it,” he said.”
