Brad Wall: Just how disfunctional Canada has become
And for those hating on the IEA:
Kaase Gbakon: IEA’s Mission Drift: A Review of Barrasso’s Report
Pipeline Online editor Brian Zinchuk will be on CJME and CKOM’s Evan Bray Show at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 5.
Forget Canada. Canada is over there in Ottawa, the energy is here on the prairies.
The mistake was asking their permission and bowing.
It’s time to do what’s best. You don’t need Doug Ford or David Eby’s permission.
Christ Clark denied permission to build a pipeline originating in Alberta through BC to tide water.
That’s the reality of Canada
A country never becomes a super-power in any commodity until it can set world price the way OPEC, North Sea Brent, and West Texas Intermediate do. There is a way to do this, but politicians lack the foresight and courage to make those commodities intrinsic to the national reputation.
Gee, nothing that a prohibition on inbound tanker traffic in the whale-rich Gulf of St. Lawrence wouldn’t fix.
How much international market share has Canada lost due to socialistic green scam policirs promoted for the last generation (9 years specifically)?
Canadians don’t want to work and they don’t want prosperity, they want socialism. The majority vote for it every time. They believe that CO2 will kill them , they locked down for the covid lie, they took poison in the form of vaccines, they have given away their country and their freedom.
Pipelines, HA.
Canadian conservatives think that a suitably gilded cage is prosperity.
“As long as our leader can fly off to wherever he wishes every day of the year, all is right with the world.”
That’ll.be all right with me if he doesn’t come back.
Once again VOWG, you have nailed it. A bunch of sheep. Look how easily Trudeau and the media got them whipped up into a frenzy to hate Americans. Booing their national anthem at a hockey game? Hating on trucker protest, but loving Palestine and BLM protests. GTFU. (Grow the heck up).
50% of Canadians would lick a metal post in January if the media told them to.
I’ve drank so much American OJ the last few days I’m turning orange (but not gonna get scurvy).
Nice.
Every fibre of the current Leftist is shaken w the word pipeline. It would mean nothing short of a paradigm shift which I don’t see as possible in Bananada.
You would have thought that with the Sword of Damocles hangin’ over us, that we’d be smart enough to diversify our market.
You’d be wrong. Instead we just bare our throat and say “I double-dog dares ya!”
We are governed by insane ideologues with the collective IQ of a mayfly.
Haha. Nothing’s gonna change. Canada gonna keep on sliding into 3rd world craphole corruption state. (Already there but getting deeper).
Pollievre (hoping he proves me wrong, but not looking promising) Trudeau, Carney; all the same. Keep the grift going, our tax dollars will just keep on rolling into the bank accounts of some faceless group of pedophiles.
Alberta has been shown the golden off ramp many times in the last 45 years and we just keep on enduring. We deserve every bit of punishment and scorn we get from Ottawa and Quebec.
Alberta blew its chance in the mid-1980’s. It had an opportunity to elect the Western Canada Concept and didn’t. It’s been downhill ever since.
“ Brad Wall: Just how disfunctional Canada has become”
Misleading headline line again. “has” become??
Always has been Brian.
I’m so glad I wasn’t born yesterday.
The investment environment for fossil fuel projects has changed dramatically in the last two weeks; and I believe Trump will continue to legally thrash financial organizations that de-banked conservatives.
Big wind continues to demonstrate that it cannot survive without constant subsidy, and in some cases supplemental subsidies for turbine manufacturers that repeatedly border on bankruptcy. Of course the green new nut jobs continue to insist that wind and solar generated energy are competitive with gas-fired power, something which is patently false, and which mythology they sustain by conveniently ignoring the endless, life-giving transfusions with taxpayer cash, and the productive life of the hardware.
If DOGE is successful and survives, it might eventually get around to analyzing the hundreds of billions of dollars that taxpayers have wasted on fragile Chinese glass and Prairie Pinwheels. That would easily demonstrate the uncompetitive nature of renewables, and forestall any future subsidies, at least by the feds.

The length of a pipeline from pipes end in Manitoba to the shores of Lake Ontario is about 1600km and picks up a customer base of 15 to 20 million. Extending to the Maritimes is another 1000 km and picks up a customer base of 2 million plus whatever the export market would be. I suggest export pipelines to the Pacific may be more cost effective than building the Atlantic segment but the Manitoba- Ontario link looks promising.
Additionally, any province interfering in interprovincial trade ( a federal responsibility (( I mean the trade not the interference)) ) should be required to compensate for the effect of a refusal, loss of profits to the company and loss of tax to the provinces. Quebec, show us the money.
