Shell is betting heavily on Canadian LNG. Not only is it the lead partner in LNG Canada, it just agreed to buy 1/6 of the offtake from its competitor up the coast.
Shell signs offtake agreement to buy LNG from second BC project
And for a REAL deep dive into carbon tax analysis, a Prince Albert, SK, based economist allowed Pipeline Online to reprint this in-depth report on how the carbon tax affects his SaskPower and SaskEnergy power and natural gas bills. It was originally posted on LinkedIn.
I.e., they’re betting large on the next election…
Agreed. They can read public opinion polls and how wildly unhappy Canadians are with the Trudeau/Singh government. Eight years of Justatwit and Canadians are fed up, so you get in early.
When the Trudeau liberal-NDP government is defeated next election, the governments in Alberta and Saskatchewan should approve the building of everything they need before the rest of Canada votes in another Liberal government. Pipelines, natural gas plants, oil sands expansion, irrigation projects, mines etc. It’s more difficult for the federal government to shut down existing operations than it is for the feds to deny permit to new projects.
Build up as many legal firewalls as they can to protect provincial rights and individual rights. Burn down the carbon tax and net zero bureaucratic infrastructure that has built up under Trudeau and salt the earth to prevent it from growing back.
“Make hay while the political grass is green.”
yep. aka ‘a running start’. theyre in the ‘club house’ as we speak, reviewing strategies, training personnel, crossing Ts dotting Is. thinking ahead. unlike liberal supporters whose time frame is confined to the nxt gubbamint freebie.
oh gawd help me lve NEVER detested a Cdn PM this much. ever. absolutely confounded how anybody but lieberal mps think in glowing terms. l would much rather the ‘glow’ be off a conflagration in the distance of liberalism in flames.

I tend to agree. Only two others came close: his father Pierre (the f****r who idolized Germans in WW2), and the vile William Lyon McKenzie King. King made my list after I realized just how much he hated the Canadian military and did his best to cripple it before the clash with Hitler. King was also the one who prevented Canada from being a nuclear weapon state.
Notice how that map has carved a large hunk out of Canadian territory and and assigned it to another entity.
Neat how easily that can be done.
It was once Crown land but the BC NDP made it fee simple (essentially private land) owned by the Nishga Band. No individual Indians own any of that. It is a communist state subsidized by Canadian taxpayers. No non-Indian can vote in any local governance elections. The descendants of slaves living in the Nass valley are still considered 2nd class by the pure Nishga. Progressives consider economic development where all commerce is under the thumb of the tribal governance a big step forward.
Yes, I used to live in Stewart, and used to think I would like to return. I think I would prefer the American side in Hyder these days.
Very similar to an African failed state only much colder and wetter.
I think Shell is a better evaluator of the business case than blackie mcblackface or the red dwarf
