Not strong enough, Mr. Kenney.
“We have technology that could guarantee you constant, stable access to propane and other fuels. They’re called pipelines,” he said.
“If the government of Quebec is concerned about reliable access to propane and other fuels … then we have a very simple message for the government of Quebec: help us build additional pipeline capacity.”
The comments come after Legault called for an end to the Canadian National (CN) Railway strike, saying the province’s supply of propane will run out in a matter of days.
The Quebec government is rationing the remaining supply of its propane.
Legault also called on the federal government to consider back-to-work legislation, if need be.
Kenney said that Quebec would not need to rely on storage and rationing if there was a way to “ship in” fossil fuels through a pipeline.
The strike will end, the propane will resume flowing, and the status quo will return as though nothing had ever happened.
Try this next time, Mr. Premier — “This is Quebec’s opportunity to transition to a fossil fuel free economy — and they can count on us to assist in that.”

Im preach meant: I recommend reading Gregg Jarret’s recent Book “Witch Hunt” either as an eBook or print copy.
Your time is too valuable during Business Hours or Family Time to spend time with Schift’s self absorbed attempt remembered in [ History?]. If so; might be catalogued beside Benedict Arnold.
“Not strong enough, Mr. Kenney”
Indeed. He’s sarkin’ when he should be sucker-punchin’.
PET was Jesuit educated. Kenney is Jesuit educated. Kenney was shoe horned into Alberta to stamp out prairie grass fires and hold down Albertans while Ottawa continues the rape of Western Canadians. All Alberta’s Independence and Separatist groups need to put aside their ego’s and unite in a coalition and speak with one voice. Kenney will talk and talk and talk. The strategy is to appear concerned talk tough, and wear Albertans out with talk. Small town Alberta and Blue Sky Country is waiting on the match. Hopefully that man/woman shows up soon and unites them all.
Jesuit-educated, eh?
And Andrew Scheer lost because he is Catholic.
Right …
Don’t care personally just a point of interest……Kenney was born in Oakville, Ontario, the son of Lynne (née Tunbridge) and Robert Martin Kenney, a fighter pilot and teacher at Appleby College, who was of Irish heritage.[4][5] He was raised in Wilcox, Saskatchewan. He is the grandson of jazz musician and big band leader Mart Kenney.[6]
He went to high school in Wilcox, Saskatchewan, at the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame, a private Catholic high school, known for its ice hockey team, the Notre Dame Hounds.He graduated near the middle of his class from Notre Dame in 1986[citation needed].
He studied philosophy at the University of San Francisco, a Jesuit university in San Francisco, California, but failed to complete coursework. During his time in San Francisco, he was interviewed by CNN, for a segment exploring “religious values”. In the segment, he was credited as “Jason Kenny – Anti-abortion Activist”.[7] He argued against Jesuit professors, including Rev. John Clarke, who declared free speech essential to a university. Allowing pro-choice activists on campus, Kenney argued in the CNN interview, was “destroying the mission and the purpose of this university”. In the student newspaper, he suggested that if the school gave a platform to pro-choice groups in the name of free speech, it would have no basis to refuse a similar platform to pedophiles or to the Church of Satan.[8]
The archbishop rejected the petition that summer, and Kenney never returned to finish his undergraduate philosophy degree.[9] He left university without graduating to begin work for the Saskatchewan Liberal Party.[10] He was “very involved in the young Liberals” as a young man, and in 1988 served as executive assistant to Ralph Goodale, who at the time was leader of the party.[11] Not long after, in 1989, Kenney was hired as the first executive director of the Alberta Taxpayers Association, which advocated for fiscal responsibility. In 1990, Kenney was named president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, a national organisation that scrutinises governmental expenditures.
NO andy 2% lost the elections because he is stupid
OK: Your debatable assumption is that the contemporary Society of Jesus is Catholic. In my view it stopped being so quite some time ago. It is currently more of a Marxist Environmental NGO than a Catholic religious order faithful to Scripture and Tradition.
Andrew Sheer did not lose because he is a believing Catholic (which he is), but because he dissembled on what he believes.
From the article: “Legault has said he is in favour of a pipeline carrying natural gas from Alberta to the Saguenay.”
Should definitely be a 2for1 deal. If Quebec wants a natural gas pipeline from Alberta then it must accept Alberta oil going through their province too. I think batches of each can be sent through the same pipe, in fact, if they don’t want 2 pipelines.
There was a twitter joke that Alberta should offer to give Quebec free crude (conventional) or gasoline instead of Alberta taxpayer’s share of federal equalization payments – but- Quebec had to pay for delivery…and then see how quickly that energy east pipeline gets built.
I think Quebec Farmers should use electric hair dryers to dry their grain. It would be a green solution.
As I mentioned yesterday, the eastern half of Canada has now had three warnings about supply disruption that shows their vulnerability to supply shocks : Saudi Arabian refinery explosion (terrorism), American environmental activists trying to kibosh new and existing pipelines near/under the Great Lakes, train delivery disruptions due to labor unions. Could also add in extreme weather leading to supply disruptions Yet that region of the country, like Eloi, remain blissfully unaware of their precarious situation. In fact, they bite the very hand that attempts to help them out of their predicament.
Any other country or region would love to have energy powerhouses like Alberta and Saskatchewan as a reliable domestic supply. You think Europe likes having to rely on the whims of Russia or MENA. Europe would not have to lick the boots of dictators if they were energy self reliant. As a bonus, every year Alberta and Saskatchewan pour billions of dollars more into Canada than they get in return. But nope, not our countrymen in the east, they would rather destroy PrairieWest’s energy economy and risk separation. Envy is the root of all evil, imo.
LC, queerbeck could be self sufficient in energy if only they were smart enough to do so
We know very well Trudeau will do whatever it takes to end the strike. Quebec calls the shots now more than ever with Bloc MP arses sitting in Federal seats in a minority government all votes matter to hold onto power.
Kenney needs to show his metal, he’s never had a better chance.
Of course we could just point out that this is the “Carbon Free Future”.
Exactly what Eastern Canada voted for.
How Dare they use propane.
Good thing Prince Blackies new o̶i̶l̶y̶ ̶a̶s̶s̶ Oil and Gas Minister is so experienced in the field.
You know, like Hunter Biden is.
Kenney is a cuckservative. People here seem to be jazzed about any move he makes because it’s been so long since Alberta had a halfway decent Premier, but he’s definitely just a cuck.
Let’s have a contest. We’ll see if Alberta can go longer without maple syrup than Quebec can go without oil and gas. Winner gets their equalization payments back from the last 50 years.
It’s going to be a cold winter.
Kenney should regularly send tweets of himself all warm and toasty in his home, sipping cognac, re-writing a new deal for Alberta while blowing his nose on the Charter.
Kenney is all talk. The Premier of speechifying. Economy-wise, I’m not seeing a difference between Kenney and Notley.
Only difference is that Notley hired 60k more government union workers. They still have their tax paid jobs.
LNG is shipped by rail to Quebec? Tax it to Oblivion. Tax it until CN/CP can’t make a nickel shipping it.
This is a first test of the libranos. They lost seats but increased the size of the cabinet. Fully ten (10) ministers from quebekkie. Saskatchewan & Alberta = zero (0).
The cash is going to flow. If any fwenchman has to pay more than the Costco price for propane there will be a check in the mail….with a xmas bonus.
Meanwhile out here on the prairie where farmers crops lay under snow and grain bins are full of last years crop that remains unsold we are told to worry that fwenchie hasn’t propane for his bbq. Too bad about shipping your grain Mr. Farmer.
Watch how this plays out. It will be a signal of this governments priorities. The conclusion is predictable.
I like it, if the Fake Negro pushes for an end to the rail strike he pisses of Jagmeat, if he kisses Jagmeats ass and lets the strike run its course, he pisses of Blanket of the BQ. Ha Ha Ha.
Oh so much to comment on…where to begin?
The delicious irony perhaps? The good and noble citizens of la belle province who are working (???) so hard to save the planet? Here is a wonderful opportunity to meet your emission targets. Lead the world and show us how it is done?
Do I feel one iota of sympathy for the seniors that will not have propane sourced heat? Are these the same people that cheered the original trudeau when he imposed the NEP? The NEP that cost Albertans their livelihoods, their homes causing some to take their own lives? Sorry, not feeling it here.
Where will the slimy leech jerry diaz be when Le Dauphin brings in back to work legislation. Will he be screaming about worker’s rights or collective bargaining or will he still be out decrying Harper for forcing Air Canada workers back. I am sure it will be from court side at a Raptor’s game.
How about the political arm of the Canadian union movement; the NDP? Will their bought and paid for mouthpiece jagmeet singh stand up for their precious collective bargaining?
Mr. Kenney will have a very short tenure unless he actually steps up and does what he is supposed to do. I think that this will be an excellent opportunity to require mandatory inspections on all propane facilities. Should only take a couple months or so. Should be wrapped up by March 21st, 2020
As for quebec, please don’t worry about any propane, it’s plenty hot where you can all go
No where to go with this idiocy.
I believe propane can be shipped by trucks so this wouldn’t be breaking the strike. Seems to me the federal government and Marc F**k-I’ve-Let-Myself-Go Garneau can eat shit and K-bec can freeze and also eat shit. Frozen shit. Preferably their own.
Worn out old skank Wynne of Ontario weighs in on Alberta Separation on CTV. advising Kenney to tone it down. As if Kenney is the one causing Western Independence. Brain Dead Commie Skank.

Best description of Wynne evah!
“Tone it down?” Personally, I think a great strategy for Mr. Kenney would be to adopt a “carrot and stick” approach, combining his current moderate position (the “carrot”) with the harder line advocated by you, Kate and others (“the stick”). The irony abounds, given that in such a choice, the construction of the pipelines becomes the reasonable alternative.
I’d reiterate a couple of other points, as well:
– the short-term and winter forecasts (no guarantees, obviously) for central Canada are poor (cold and heavy snowfall), beginning in a large swath of rural Quebec and Northern Ontario in the next few days. Even if the propane were to become available at distribution terminals immediately, there is no guarantee that it could even be trucked to customers reliably; and
– propane is still used fairly widely in rural Ontario, although this has declined due to the installation of distribution NG systems (those damned pipelines, again!) and most of the customers are located in Tory-held ridings.
Ms. Wynne and Mr. Chretien have no standing to say anything about this mess. Last time I checked, the Liberals are down to five members in the Ontario Legislature, thanks to her and her energy and financial policies, primarily. As for Mr. Chretien, he hasn’t been prime minister in more than 15 years now, having been eviscerated by his own party while he was still in office.
Apparently, Mr. Trudeau, Jr. is still prime minister, having won the most seats (115 or 120 in Ontario and Quebec), but losing the national popular vote. It’s on his shoulders to end the rail strike: Canadian National is a federally-regulated corporation, so he’ll need to call Parliament back in the next few days (even earlier than his ridiculous voluntary December 5 recall!) to pass emergency back-to-work legislation if the parties don’t stand down and submit to voluntary mediation and/or arbitration.
Back-to-work legislation would have to be opposed by the NDP and the Greens (for different reasons), so he’d be relying on the B.Q. and/or Conservatives to make it happen. The options are multiple for the Conservatives (including a play on the possibility of a short prorogation, which is more difficult now, given the situation that Boris has just come through).
The B.Q. has only one play — support the Liberals (those damned ironies, again!). We’ll see how they all do.
What’s clear to me, and I don’t want anybody to get hurt (who does, really?) is that this sitchyation strengthens Western Canada’s hand enormously. Good on you! And so early in the last days of the Trudeau “experience”! I can smell the panic!
By way of historical note, of course, I am reminded about the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (another great piece of national infrastructure — “that [those] damned railway[s]” — as Alexander MacKenzie called the CPR — again!): Macdonald, who promised it to B.C. as one of its terms of entry into Confederation, was facing increasing opposition to the plan from Ontario and Quebec voters, until the North West Rebellion of 1885 proved the CPR’s indispensability, allowing militia regiments from central Canada to be delivered to put down the Rebellion.
Too bad tv weatherman seamus o’foolie didn’t become minister of climate change and environment. Guess the irony woulda been just to great…even for the libranos.
He would have brought real cred to the office unlike the former dolly occupant.
Old Semen would have been an O’Rectum no matter where they try to hide the fool. Just another Wilknot, a wee ball of shite.
…”former dolly occupant”
hahaha-
I have 2 small propane tanks that I’m not using if anyone wants them…hahaha!
They need to stop scolding the West- thanks you CN, the railway that divides yet unites a sick country. Merci Buckets! Hahaha!
It’s just a guess but doesn’t CP run trains into PQ.
There was a Quebec farmer on Radio-Canada TV’s 6:00Pm news this evening. The shortage of propane is messing up their ability to dry tough grain. By the gist of the farmer’s reply to the RC interview, they are totally frustrated at CNR.
What I can’t understand is given the huge amount of electricity that Quebec produces, why aren’t they using three phase power to heat their grain dryers?? And why don’t they have natural gas going to the farms??
Maudit Trudeau!!
I
May I suggest dealing with the problem and only the problem—re-settle the goddamned French Canadians in Labrador and get them out of the way of the pipeline.
Jason Kenney can’t do that. President Trump could, though.
Duh! Too cold for those 6 monther snow birds to drive to La Florida. And as for the Muntrul-ers dey need to live in da cité to work a short job and den collect their assurance chômage da rest of da time so dey can continue to live da life of Reilly. It’s da many girlfriends dat each pay and raise our kids! Duh! La Labrador is hout of da question, unless you mean a dog.
