Let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark: “Oh dear!* The people who will never vote Conservative might not vote for them if they repeal Trudeau’s energy suicide pact.”

Comments closed! And people ask me why I no longer live in Canada? Between MAID and bug eating becoming mandatory and freezing in the dark inevitable what more do you need to know?
We should have shut the taps off when Peter Pan was first elected.
Do you imagine that it would do you the slightest good? It didn’t do OPEC any good in 1974 and 1979, but like a lunatic you simply suggest repeating what was already demonstrated to fail badly.
I’m of 2 minds on this.
One, I’d very much like to see people in eastern Canada freezing to death. Not “uncomfortable” or whatever, I mean to death. It won’t matter to me if they’re old Canadians or new Canadians, and further, that those responsible will ________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________ and that they’ll never again sleep in comfort knowing they won’t face a real threat the next day.
Two, when’s the AB / Sask. separation referendum? Also I’m not interested in meeting a demand for zero carbon emissions by 2050 provincially or mandated by distant eastern gov’t. I’m a plumber/gasfitter and it’s not going to be pleasant economically for anyone who thinks the federal gov’t can actually lead by example, or mandate some pipe dream to success.
Everything they do, ends in failure. That’s the guideline for the federal gov’t. That’s their real guarantee.
Not everyone east of Winnipeg votes Liberal or NDP. Maybe I should say east of Medicine Hat?
Quite right. Most don’t. The Liberals are even starting to lose support in the gulag known as the Maritime Provinces.
Well Marc in Calgary I myself cannot understand it.
If Alberta and Saskatchewan as well as the northern part of British Columbia, being the part that gives access to the Pacific Ocean, were to separate from Canada, it would in short order,become the richest country on earth.
Of course you’d have to rid the place of socialists and socialism,but that’s what helicopters are for
Helicopters are expensive. As Minister of Relocations I promise to erect an enormous trebuchet on the border which will rapidly deport commies and eco-loons in the general direction of a place they’re better suited to. They’ll be delighted it’s made of natural materials and entirely carbon neutral in operation.
Maybe just fence off Calgary and Edmonton with all of those Notley lovers and electors of Lib and NDP MPs.
Call it Ed + Gary?
I never think that we’d “lose access to the west coast” … I do think Old Canada will have lost access to its west coast until it guarantees free access for all goods from AB / Sask.
and we won’t be negotiating from a position of weakness.

They are giving us the boiled frog treatment, slowly but inexorably turning up the heat. We wince with each turn of the thumbscrews but are convinced by the government that the pain is for our benefit. So I would welcome the quick and draconian implementation of Trudeau’s fevered climate change measures. The sooner the excrement meets the fan, the sooner we regain sanity.
As Charles McKay said way back in the 19th century:
“Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.”
But Conservatives face a serious political trap. The environment is the top concern of Canadians this summer, according to Nanos polling.
If the environment was the top concern for 50% of the country then the Conservatives would have a problem. But it’s only the top concern for 16% of Canadians, with inflation and jobs close on its heels. And as Kate points, those 16% are likely dedicated progressives who wouldn’t vote Conservative if you put a gun to their head.
Further, priorities change with the season. Global warmng seems like a bigger issue in August than in January.
I make a point of disregarding anything out of Nanos. As a pollster he provides clients with the results they want to hear. If a pollster can shape the questions he can produce a result showing that most people will agree to anything regardless of how insane it may be. Pollsters are all experts at how to warp presenting what the public supposedly thinks about anything.
I know. I used to work with pollsters years ago.
Hey you newfberta girls, how is nutley doing these daz????
Give them what they want … good and hard
So according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation the Quebec Carbon Tax deal announced on July 1st. has Quebec importing oil from the Middle East and payng 10 cents a litre on gas but the rest of Canada is paying 14 cents a litre.
WHY are we still putting up with this Lib/DIP government?
the cement plant in quebec which burns gas and limestone is also exempt
This country is a giant scam to enrich Quebec and Toronto prove me wrong. Spoiler alert you can’t!
I’ll comment here what I posted there:
This government runs on hysteria. Its one trick pony is the manufactured “climate crisis”. The urgency to set arbitrary targets at any cost to our bankrupt treasury to demonstrate political virtue signaling on a planet that will wipe out our 2035 decarbonizing “gains” every two weeks is the stuff of mass hysteria. A media without a critical thinking molecule in its failing business model simply parrots the political narrative as if the survival of the planet was dependent on the scientific prowess of the snowboard instructor and his Green Peace felon. Alberta and Saskatchewan would be so much better off outside this deranged dominion.
Trudope’s whore media are turning up the heat on PP as the polls are working slowly in his favour . This however , can’t stop those bastards in power from showing their animosity toward Western Canada .
L – “In Alberta, Premier Danielle Smith issued a statement calling the regs unconstitutional and irresponsible. Smith’s goal for Alberta is to reach net-zero electrification by 2050, not 2035.
“We are going to assert our rights under the Constitution to tell them to pound sand,” Smith told the Calgary Sun. ”
——————————————————————————————————–
Danielle Smith proves herself to be an Alpha Female,
with her “pound sand” comment. Beta male premiers need replacing.
As for the Constitution, Canada is a federation of provinces; that’s why
the Clarity Act is also Constitutional. Quebec uses that to negotiate for provincial sovereignty and exercises thusly the Co-operative Federalism, inherent in sections 91/92.
Independence within co-operative confederalism or independence via separation; that was the successful negotiating tactic of the Louis Riel ‘Provisional Government of Manitoba Dec.1, 1869. Whose Bill of Rights
demanded a connection to the nearest available railroad.
This so the Metis farmers could get their produce/livestock to market.
The then nearest existing railroad was in North Dakota. Message sent, P.M. John A. MacDonald did what was required to keep the NorthWest
territories(now Manitoba/Saskatchewan/Alberta) Canadian.
Hence, why both he and Louis Riel(the father of the province of
Manitoba) should be listed as Fathers of Confederation. This is
also the reason Justin Trudeau removed Sir John A. MacDonald
from the $10 Bill. It’s a foreshadowing of Trudeau’s avowed dream
of making Canada into “the first post nation-state”. Which is the
globalist dystopian dream of returning to the age of Empires.
Destroying the shared cultural values that make a nation is the
pre-requisite to destroying a self-governing nation-state. So is
destroying the middle-class. This is being achieved by
de-industrializing Western nations, via the paganism of Climate
(nature) Worship. That which which was replace by the rise of
Judeo-Christian culture, a narrative that includes the first nation
to become a nation-state. The sacredness of the individual made
in the image of God replaced human sacrifice to placate the
capricious deity of nature, which might allow the collective respite
from natural disasters: the volcano, flood, drought, tornado, et al.
Homo Sapiens have a small amount of neanderthal DNA, but only
in narcissists like Justin Trudeau does it dominate the rest.
There is a ‘method in their madness’ describes the rational design
of achieving an insane goal.
Prof. Jordan Peterson’s advice: “How about No!” to those who want
to take his clinical license. So, “How about No!” to those who want
to destroy the once “free and democratic” society that was the
nation-state of Canada. If only the West has the healthy psyche
to do that; then it can later inspire in the east the reconquest
of the remains of Canada to re-emerge like the phoenix.
The idea of Canada, the inspirational, the aspirational, won’t perish
as long as “liberty lies in the hearts and minds of the men and women”
of Canada. To be continued…
Net zero is an impossible result based on government math.
It’s been 43 years since I first became an Alberta separatist. In those 43 years, Ottawa has demonstrated that hoping to negotiate a “better deal” is fine w Ottawa for it only serves to deepen the rot in real time by stretching out the time into decades and decades. In the end, that’s where we end up getting it.
How many colleagues, family and friends have disclosed they “no longer recognize the country of their birth?”
Alas, methinks the typical Albertan still too doe-eyed about a “Canada” that actually never was, except in broken promise. They still believe that a century of hard-core anti-west policy is a misunderstanding that can be solved with more groveling discussions about “Canadian unity.” Ottawa doesn’t care now and never cared before. This won’t change b/c “this” is the structure of “Canada.”
Canada has died and Bananada has arisen in it’s place. The energy “transition” plan will murder millions thru “heat poverty” in our winters. Don’t think Ottawa doesn’t know that and aren’t gleeful about that outcome. As much as Alberta needs to separate, the global game afoot in reality is beyond that of a fictional Bond movie.
Time to turn off the natural gas and all oil products going to Ontario and Quebec.
Are’t the Americans already trying to do that for you?
Move over Patton Oswald…Guilbeault just took your spot for having the most punchable face.
Here’s what I think should be done – Let me run this by ya. All the “fossil fuel” producers should get together and we’ll call it, oh, I dunno, ACME Oil Producers INC. something along those lines….no wait, I’ve got it…Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers…that’s it! Fill the board with mealy mouthed, jelly spined, dubious voting credentialed “Hey whaddaya gonna do’s” and issue a two page word salad where no one knows where the hell you’re coming from and call it a day.
Say something you effing idiots…or die the slow death they want for you.
If you want us to do some heavy lifting it’ll help when we know you’ve got our backs.
Get busy.
Shrug. Other than latitude and longitude, WTF is the difference between a Trawntonian who voted for tory or chow vs a Calgarian or Edmontoniian who voted for the lefty slime that has been running those two cities for the last decade or so?
What will happen when reality inevitably intrudes on their Zero This / Zero That pipe dreams? When the lights start going out regularly?
It took a few months, but California Governor Gray (out) Davis was thrown out of office when the electric blackouts became a regular weekly occurrence in the “Land of Fruit and Nuts.”
What will Canadians do? (My money is on jack and squat.)
Separate, prior to, shut all lines east, collect taxes in Prov Boundary, CPP etc rename, in boundary. Toss Fed agencies out, class as “non standing” in Prov boundaries, reroute any taxes collected in boundary to essential services, health etc, STOP all transfer payments.
A wish, but really hope it comes to pass. Feds and Golden Horseshoe, and Quebec can pound sand. My uncle in Maritimes said, join US, best model for region, one State, not mini provinces with no clout or bearing on Federation.
Just dependants, and screw overs, fisheries screwed by Feds, if a US State, never would have happened.
Just saying, enough is enough.
Defying the laws of physics merely requires the laws of man. We shall see.
The convict sees no problem with instituting all that crap that he comes up with.
The conservatives are not talking.
What’s the differrence?
Ottawa need a month long ice storm in January. Or a month of -40°. For good measure I’d throw in 4 feet of snow so that Blackie can’t escape on the government Challenger jet.
