BC & Manitoba just signed an economic trade partnership
Not to build pipelines, LNG, unlock energy corridors.Nope two NDP provinces are teaming up to build wind farms, export virtue signals, and pat each other on the back while the real economy rots

Related! Gas is $1.649 in Abbotsford, BC. Jumped 17 cents overnight!
I always felt that people who were unwilling to take the risk of doing something shouldn’t reap the rewards. Why should BC and Manitoba benefit from oil revenues when they won’t let pipelines be built across their lands? Same for Quebec BTW.
clearly you dont understand the general Canaduhian psyche.
then again neither do l . . . . . . we’re hooped.
David Eby learned nothing from the rapid rise of the BC Conservative Party, it seems. He acted all humble immediately after the last provincial election, but it was all an act. Oh well…won’t matter anyway after he finishes giving most of the province away to the natives. Commie Bastard.
MB resident here. Wab is a master at social media. Lots of words, no meaning. But it fools the masses. And conservatives won’t be conservative so we are hooped.
And there is the problem….
Alberta and Sask are bookended by BC and Manitoba.
😀 Look south.
I’d wager that Ottawa is on the phone with BC requesting that they reverse this (for now). Ottawa needs to preserve the ruse that they will offer concessions to Alberta and Saskatchewan. They won’t follow through, but they need to delay until after the next election.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Exactly ! 100% correct Orson
The ruse must continue, till the voting numbers are assured to stay in Kanada.
Then,,,, the crackdown will begin for those that are “wrong thinkers”, and hold “unacceptable views” !
The ChiComs have taught the Liberals well.
Is this even LEGAL? That two Provinces can unilaterally make pacts that interfere with National priorities? Or … I guess this IS your national priority … to deindustrialize … to demonetize.
BTW … $6.25/gal.!? OK … I’ll stop complaining about my local COSTCO CA gas price of $3.89/gal.
File under ‘Yeh, But’…
That’s in Canadian dollars, Kenji, so basically a coupla bucks US! 😉
No it isn’t legal….the Liberals gave up on their authority for pipelines and other linear project across interprovincial or international boundaries. It was an easy out for them to appease their green brain dead buddies and win seats in the Vancouver area.
And BC is cut off from the rest of Canada.
And the Trans-Canada Highway runs through them both! Passport and citizenship please.
FILTHY LIBERALS
That’s why it’s so WINDY in Alberta.
Manitoba SUCKS, & BC Blows
The only thing I like that comes from Manitoba or BC is an MT Bus…
2 betas 1 Solar Panel
FILTHY LIBERALS
BC and Manitoba, under their elected metro-sexual “Chiefs” are transitioning into inverted apartheid where indigenous nobility are the exclusive designated landlords of a feudal collectivist dystopia as long as the 95% of serfdom remain ovine and pay taxes to support their indigenous-dhimmi provincial governments as well as the designated racial nobility and their serfs, a situation that guarantees backlash of the kinetic variety eventually.
Very well said (as usual) Mr. Chittick.
I just started reading Grave Error..
Your words ring especially TRUE reading this, even just 10% in.
Indigenous. Indigenous. Indigenous. Indigenous. Indigenous.
The new nobility.
Even the elementary school-created “garden” near my condo is marked by a professionally printed sign “Indigenous Garden”.
And what a mess it is!
Ever since they started calling us ‘colonizers’ in a derogatory tone I have begun calling them Indians again. Eby’s Indians.
Indigents works for me!
John, John, John … they’re not metrosexual. They’re 2s. Please make a note of it. Thank you for your attention to this 2sLGBTQueer+ correct think matter.
“Nope two NDP provinces are teaming up to build wind farms, export virtue signals, and pat each other on the back while the real economy rots.”
Of course they are. This is their POLICY. It is not a mistake, and they are not stupid. They profit from the destruction of Canada, and Canadians. They’re making huge money doing it, and they will keep going until the rest of us stop playing along.
You like your 50% taxation, Canada? Get ready for 55%, and then 60%, and then 65%. You’ll be working until September to pay off your tax, and the other three months will be your rent. Food? No.
All in all its just another brick in the wall
To my knowledge, neither Manitoba or BC manufacture wind turbines. So exactly what are they trading? How does one ‘team up’ with the other? Obviously an excuse to look like they are doing something other than getting together for a photo-op.
I think the way it works is that “wind farm privateers” set up their locations (likely with provincial subsidies) then enter into a contractual agreement with the power company(s). The standard contract is about 25 years on average. The manufacturer of the the turbines deals directly with the wind farms. Not the power company(s) or the Provincial government.
Primary manufacturer of wind turbines is Vestas (a Danish company with manufacturing plants throughout the world…excluding Canada, which is kind of ironic). It’s amusing, in a macabre sort of way, that a country like Canada, which is so set on pursuing this “green energy” nonsense, isn’t set up to profit from it’s inception, creation, and application.
There is no profit from wind, only subsidies. You cannot profit from it’s inception, creation or application.
“There is no profit from wind, only subsidies. You cannot profit from it’s inception, creation or application.”
Exactly. It’s the most expensive and least efficient of the ‘green’ energy generation scams.
The good thing is provinces have no jurisdiction on pipelines that extend beyond their borders. Just elect a conservative federal government. It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth but our only option might rest with the US. They day after Alberta voted to join the US you can guarantee there would be 50,000 US troops landing, ending any further negotiation.
The Liberals would call the UN for help and then I’d die laughing.
“The day after Alberta voted to join the US you can guarantee there would be 50,000 US troops landing, ending any further negotiation.”
Are you suggesting the US would send an occupation force of 50k to the newly independent Alberta/Saskatchewan territory? In order to petition Congress for recognition as a state, the majority of eligible voters within that territory’s boundaries would have to vote to join the US. Of course, the territory in question also has to convince the Congress that it is in our best interests to let that territory join the Union.

Statehood is not guaranteed and/or its quite possible that Alberta/Saskatchewan complete independence may be best option.
Well, Alberta could lease the Cold Lake base to the U.S. I’m sure they would love to take over that base. Alberta doesn’t have to join the U.S. and could easily stand as a country on its own…..Alberta has about the same population as Norway, Denmark or Finland….and it’s GDP per capita is much higher than that of Denmark or Finland and at par with Norway.

Hawaii has joined the conversation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overthrow_of_the_Hawaiian_Kingdom
“The 1993 Apology Resolution by the US Congress concedes that “the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii occurred with the active participation of agents and citizens of the United States and […] the Native Hawaiian people never directly relinquished to the United States their claims to their inherent sovereignty as a people over their national lands, either through the Hawaiian Kingdom or through a plebiscite or referendum”. Debates regarding the event play an important role in the Hawaiian sovereignty movement.”
The Hawaii Question – 1959
“Congress has never admitted a state to the Union against its will.”
“Following a referendum vote by Hawaiians that summer Hawaii entered the Union as the 50th State on August 21, 1959”
S. 50, A Bill to provide for the admission of the State of Hawaii into the Union, March 11, 1959
The first bill for Hawaiian statehood was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on February 11, 1919 but died in committee shortly thereafter. Over forty years later, in March of 1959, both houses of Congress passed S. 50, a bill granting statehood to Hawaii. Following a referendum vote by Hawaiians that summer Hawaii entered the Union as the 50th State on August 21, 1959 by proclamation from President Eisenhower.

Well, there you go, thank you.
What part of “The day after Alberta voted to join the US” has to do with “against their will?”
?
50,000?
given the vastly superior equipment they need only enough buses for 500.
this is all all all speculative, l want to see CONCRETE steps when l do l got a buddy in edmonton area can show me the ropes when l move there.
and none of the kaybek blackmail bluff either.
Um, scar, you are incorrect.
Provinces have ZERO jurisdiction over pipelines.
Pipelines are federally regulated, like banks, telcos, etc.
They can try to make life difficult, but, as we saw in BC, they lost all legal challenges.
Still, the NDP, through their municipal farm teams, can make life difficult, however, the Feds read the riot act to Burnaby, amongst others, and they had to comply.
But today, this country is so weak, all they have to do is toe FEEL enough against them and it substitutes facts.
I’m hoping for the collapse of society, with the lefties the first ones to succumb to failure.
Well that’s not entirely accurate. Provinces have jurisdiction if a pipeline is within the boundaries of the province. The feds have jurisdiction over pipelines (and other linear projects) that cross interprovincial or international boundaries.
Those two seem about as smart as Fatass Ford.
Election of idiots has consequences.
The penultimate chapter of F.A. Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom is entitled How The Worst Get On Top. The chapter is available in text format on line.
I have read several articles about this agreement signing and it appears to be, to remove trade barriers between Provinces and regulated Trades to have the freedom of mobility to work in different Provinces. I have come across nothing about wind turbines or solar. The video of them trading hockey jerseys makes no mention of wind turbines either.

Well given that provinces really have no such authority, it is meaningless….however, Alberta should shut down the B.C connection to the Alliance Pipeline that runs from northeast BC to Chicago and moves BC gas.
Manitoba: old Ojibwe word meaning smart like mud turtles.
Nope two NDP provinces are teaming up to fellate each other.
FTFY…
