  1. Canadians One of our greatest sources of prosperity as a country, our oil industry, is in crisis.

    The Trudeau government failed to get pipeline projects moving, and even made it more difficult to build them with new legislation.

    And yesterday, it announced a $1.6-billion subsidy to the oil industry to compensate for its failures, something the industry does not need and did not ask for.

    The Liberal government’s view of the economy could be summed up this way:

    If it moves, tax it.

    If it keeps moving, regulate it.

    And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

    We need to do the exact opposite.

    In a poll that came out today, a majority of Quebecers say they prefer to get their oil from Alberta, and agree that pipelines are the safest way to transport it.

    https://www.660citynews.com/2018/12/19/poll-says-quebecers-like-alberta-oil/

    That shows a deep disconnect between what Quebecers think and what Justin Trudeau and François Legault are saying.

    It’s up to Ottawa to approve pipeline projects. And I am ready to tell all Canadians, in both languages, that we need them.

    Watch my interview on Quebec’s TV in French (with English subtitles) where I defend the Energy East project.

    Canadians it’s time to stop dividing us on this issue, as too many politicians and pressure groups are doing.

    Please help me unite all Canadians around our oil industry by contributing $1.60 or $16 to the People’s Party today.

    Thank you,

      1. With good conciemce I can only vote for Max and that’s it…

        The same party system of Liberals and Pc have all got to go…

        Canadians come first this time so we can take back our control over governments, banks, media and immigration…

  3. I’m sure Quebec will support a pipeline deal but only if it looks like a Churchill Falls hydro deal.

    I’m supporting a referendum on equalization in Alberta.

    This Xmas, my family is having a Quebec free Xmas: no products from Quebec. The CO2 to make and transport those products is just too high a price to pay. We need to save the planet! I’m sure Quebecers will fully understand. 🙂

    And the “clean” Quebec hydro is poisoning rivers with mercury, generating methane gas from rotting vegetation in hydro dam reservoirs, and removes tree bearing land which was removing CO2. 🙁

      2. I see it as Alinsky tactics, to expose the hypocrisy.
        How is Trudeau going to cut Canadas CO2 while tripling the population?
        Everything they say is just a tactic to push their neo-feudalism.

        1. Exactly. As they tells us, we rich people are big time polluters. Meanwhile Canada’s population rose a by a million people in about 2 years – the fastest gain of a million in its history. Population stability is a horrific phrase to just about everyone, left, right and center.

        2. Canada bulldozes close to 60000 acres of green space per year for new housing, most of that acreage winds up under asphalt roads or roofing shingles.
          While working on a 200 acre housing development on the outskirts of toronto the surveyor mentioned a population density of 13 people per hectare. The housing development has detached homes of various sizes, town houses, park, school block, commercial block and detention ponds. Pretty standard stuff for new developments, I’ve been building them for decades and this has been my busiest year ever.
          If Canada’s baseline immigration is 300000 per year at 13head per hectare, that puts the land requirement 23077 hectares or 57700 acres per year.
          The most disturbing thing is the fact that most of the land under development is farmland, if you replace your farms with hungry people sooner or later food cost and food shortages will become an issue.

      1. Thanks Watcher, at the time I was being sarcastic, hence the emojis.

        You are right, as was I, about the above mentioned problems with hydro. Actually there are a lot more than we listed. Personally I have zero issues with hydro, unlike most greens who were against dams.

        Matt Ridley wrote a great book titled “The Rational Optimist”. It is a great read. He totally debunks many of the leftist myths about how good life was before we had global warming.

        If any SDA reader hasn’t read it, in my opinion you should.

  4. Distracted driving involved in fatal semi rollover west of Moose Jaw, says RCMP

    An investigation into the crash revealed that the driver was not wearing his seat belt and was driving while distracted.

    https://thestarphoenix.com/news/saskatchewan/rcmp-responding-to-semi-trailer-rollover-west-of-moose-jaw/wcm/0848108f-0eb2-40fe-a0ef-8de1af117654
    ————————————————————————————————————————————————————
    L- A 24yr. old semi-driver from Alberta, no seat belt use and distracted driving. A tragedy for him and his family, my condolences. Though it could have been much worse if he had taken out a bus, too.

    I wonder what his name is? What’s the level of training and experience he had driving a semi …in Canada?
    Curious minds want to know. Some one out there knows or can find out?

    1. Thanks for the fake news, Pat.

      Even if this were true, the more important fact is that Donald Trump works very hard for all Americans.

      As compared to Obama, who lived for leisure of every kind, but hated all but a very small sliver of ( so-called, “progressive” ) Americans who agreed with him.

      Which one has his priorities straight?

      1. Donald Trump detractors are nattering nabobs of negativity which in turn morphs into fake news. Trump trumps them every time by speaking over them to the people where truth wins. Trump may be wealthy but he does relate to the all walks of life and is doing the hard work, work that is beneficial to all the people.
        The Hollywood celebrities and their ilk are more inclined to be out of the realm of reality, following an agenda of one sort or other with little knowledge of the subject matter. Their sheer nonsense is getting stale and tiresome, people want the blunt truth in plain language.

        The media have lost, they can’t get over it, they have damaged their reputation and it will be a long uphill battle to regain credibility.
        Canada needs to stop obsessing as well, we have a real problem to deal with here, the name is Trudeau being micro managed by an agenda driven cabal to the point he can’t answer questions without script, he’s simply a stammering twit and an embarrassment.

        Wait until we start paying the carbon tax through the cold winter on everything from groceries to gas…we ned to get bumper stickers going to remind the people who is responsible for it. Food banks are having a hard time keeping up with demand, poverty is already hitting small town Canada and it’s growing.
        2019 is wake up year, turn the bums out, our survival depends on it.

  7. I see that the occupant in the minister of foreign affairs has issued a statement on the two arrested Canadians in communist China ….. about ten days late and after everyone else already had.
    Team Sockmonkey has stated that they have sent notice to the chicom president….. oddly no mention on whether the Chinese have responded to the Canadian government or not.

    If this ship of fools really wants to bring this to a successful end this is what they should be doing.
    1 advise all Canadians to leave China immediately
    2 advise all embassy staff to prepare to leave
    3 notify the Chinese that Meng will be released and placed on a fight* in the next 24 hours but only once any and all Canadians currently detained are on a plane to Canada
    4 once 3 is fufilled have all embassy staff leave and announce the closure of embassy and that diplomatic relations will resume when the communist government of China allows free and open access to its market.
    5 this is the kicker, once all embassy staff have left China’s air space, advise the Chinese that Meng has left Canada on a flight* to New York as part of the extradition treaty we signed with our trusted ally the US.

    We win by getting our folks out of China
    We win by demonstrating to the US that we are a trusted ally, which could help to remove the steel and aluminum tariffs.
    Another win is that by following through on the extradition we show the Chinese that their tactics will not be tolerated and their government will lose face.
    The only loss?
    Well it won’t neccessary gain juthtin any political points with the progressive anti Trump base would it.

    Oh and almost forgot, fire Freeland.

    1. The Ukerainian Kielbasa Princess is going to find out how the chicoms play hardball.

      Last time the UKP issued an ultimatum was to the Saudis. It hasn’t gone particularly well and I suspect the chicoms wont be rattled by her demands.

      I support what Canada is doing, unfortunately our ‘team’ is inept.

      She came home empty handed from the NAFTA negotiations and I suspect this time it will be no different.

  8. Quebec is using more Canadian oil The oil is cheaper but the price is still high because the government hasn’t re set the cost. Drivers in Quebec are being cheated.

    1. Nold – I’m a big fan of SRV. if Stevie would have lived and coulda held it together no telling what he might have accomplished.
      I saw his brother Jimmy in Austin one night. A good player but not in the same league as SRV.

          1. Then there’s that line from the Creedence Clearwater Revival song Bad Moon Rising that some people claim goes “There’s a bathroom on the right.”

            Aren’t urban legends wonderful?

          Ha! Yes, I now hear the rhyme in “there’s a bad moon on the rise” and what you said! Ha! Very good! Nice dance song!

          (The moon is full now, I could’ve read a book out there, the last two nights, not a “bad” one at all here)

      2. Hendrix played at a level beyond most other players and then he would alter or screw around with his own songs each time he performed them. How do you imitate that? You can’t.

        1. Hey nold…
          There was only one Jimi.

          Way back, I saw a lot of the weekend Woodstock concert on T.V. as a kid. I remember that it was the longest thing I ever saw and thought this was going to be the wave of the future! Mom told me to lower the volume on the T.V. and I said that it couldn’t be done,… the knob,… there was something wrong with it. Ahem!

          We kids had very tolerant parents at times. We were good kids though, did our hours and hours of homework. It was the summer of the moon landing, it was the summer of love. Nobody loved me yet but I loved Woodstock. I wouldn’t have been allowed to go anyways. I was just a few hours away too! Shucks!

          Here’s the Jimi that you are talking about:

          1. Mom told me to lower the volume on the T.V. and I said that it couldn’t be done,… the knob,… there was something wrong with it.

            That what you get when you set the volume to 11. (Considering Rob Reiner’s acting like his All In The Family character’s nickname whenever he talks about Trump, I can’t bear to watch that movie any more.)

      1. I saw Jeff Healey play at the (now demolished) Spectrum Theatre in Montreal on St. Catherine St. In the 90s in a cabaret-club scenario that had service- it was great music with a few brewski and some close friends. I was genuinely sad to hear that this rocker too, had passed, his concert was wonderful!

        Is this the dead rockers society today? What is it with musicians are they too sensitive? Gosh!

          1. https://youtu.be/1o4s1KVJaVA

            Jeff Lynne (of E.L.O.) is still around and of course the great Bob Dylan. This is magic, these guys were happy! Sadly, Harrison, Orbison and Petty are now gone.

            But we all have their music to enjoy! So enjoy!

            The Mark Knopfler instrumental piece is lovely! I still listen to ‘Men at Work’, his band, for an occasional jolt of the Sultans of Swing.

            …of course The Wilburys are great too, they bring back memories. The fact that I have never seen these videos, and have today, makes it extra sweet.

  10. If you have not yet done so, do visit “Your Ward News” — this is the publication that is being refused delivery by Canada Post because it is “hate mail”. Actually, it is wonderful satire. Trudeau gets quite a shellacking in some of their fabulous political cartoons: http://www.yourwardnews.ca/
    Scroll down and check the archives for some good examples. Better yet, get a colour print and frame it for some of your left friends for Christmas.
    Here is a good one: http://www.yourwardnews.ca/maoandtrudeau.jpg

    1. The cops are getting worn out, and have held their own protests about how tiring it is to deal with protests and have also stopped responding to non emergency calls.

      To me it sounds like Macron is a failed state. (He does believe he is the state if I understand correctly.)

        1. I believe he said that. Louis XIV was Sun King 1.0. Our country’s been blessed with Sun King 2.0. Somehow, I’m not rejoicing–I can’t explain why.

    1. It’s the Liberal way…point and blame. Surprising he said anything.
      His end of the year nonsense was full of non- words, uh, and more ugh. In previous generations he would never have made it this far and if he did by some remote chance, he would’ve been yanked from his position in two weeks. What an embarrassment.
