Coulda Had A Pipeline

Indeed. Interesting video in which a B.C. Liberal MP politely explains that the MOU actually doesn’t mean or do anything. Hopefully no one translates this into Albertan.

  1. “Climate integity” is a phrase I’ve never heard before. It’s obviously another way of saying all resource projects must be blocked.

    1. Yep, your politicians hate you. It’s time to secede and become part of the US. We would be happy to have you guys.

  2. Now that things are beginning to wind down in Ukraine, it is time for Albertans with Ukrainian connections to start scooping up some bargains to equip the new Alberta armed forces.

  3. More hoops than a three ringed circus. It should’ve been a GFY moment for Ms.Smith.
    She should know better.

  4. At least this Librano is telling the truth, pretty bloody rare in Canada. Off topic, but not really, I get so tired of Brian Zinchuk, a guy who claims and should be dialed into the energy sector, shilling for the Ottawa government when he has to know this is a joke.

    1. You’re more correct than you know. I used to live in Ottawa. They want the west kept alive economically. But just barely. They like the idea of regular revenue from Alberta, but they despise the uncouth, uneducated, Bible-thumping, Walmart-shopping blue-collar Trump-loving scum that they imagine people the province. This is why Ottawa hated the Freedom Convoy so much.

      They hate the idea of oilfield workers being prosperous and happy. They hate the idea of a thriving little community of people they consider to be no different than Americans growing like a cancer in the Canadian wilds.

      Don’t imagine for an instant that I’m exaggerating. Simply drop into any Starbucks, or faux Irish pub in downtown Ottawa or Montreal, and ask the locals what they think. They won’t need much encouragement.

      Or you have the opportunity, you can do what I did, and listen as senior RCMP officials talk about the threat that they imagine these people represent, and how they would come to grips with them in lethal combat if they ever became a tactical threat. Canada’s security apparatus has surprisingly little concern about the threat posed by foreign actors importing their conflicts into this county. They’re obsessed instead with an almost wholly imaginary enemy.

      it’s because of the particular hatred the Canadian left holds for Alberta that I decided to move there when I realized I could no longer live in Ottawa.

  5. Here’s my read on the whole MOU.
    There will be no pipeline built, the “understanding” only recognizes that Alberta wants one but it doesn’t remove one limitation or obstacle to building one
    The folks in realville know this and see the MOU for what it is.
    Those that fall into the red Tory/blu-lib demographic want to believe that this is a great deal and those malcontents in the west should be happy now.
    Those that put themselves in the left progressive demographic however see the MOU as a sellout, this extends to the politicians claiming to represent them as well.
    Carney is playing for time.
    He needs winning conditions to get the liberals into majority rule before he can retire and let the francophone get the big chair.
    All he needs to do is invoke the Barnum philosophy where you fool all the people sometimes

  6. Everything that is wrong with Canada was touched on by that LPC effeminate imitation of Guilbeault from BC. That he represents Victoria says it all. Indigenous hostage suicidal empath’s paradise.

  7. secede? past the time for that already so getg on with it.
    join ‘mercuh? hell NO. ABSK has ALL and more they need to be a nation.
    l will be applying for citizenship when the time comes.
    oh, and F TURDEAULAND

  8. Is building a pipeline like moving a rock uphill (one small step at a time), or is it like a light switch (on or off). My thoughts are Carney is trying to reset the government (and the Liberal Party but let’s not go there). The process of building a new pipeline to the west coast is to cross a hundred bridges. Do you cross one bridge at a time trying to get closer to your destination or do you try to build the bridges all at once and then cross? Regardless, the process for a major construction project in Canada is broken and I don’t envy any government trying to move a project forward.

    1. It is easy if it is your actual goal. The president in the US can move it forward with an executive order, and POTUS has far less power than a Westminster PM. The shit thrown in front of this guarantees it will not be built.

      To whit: Massive industrial carbon tax and carbon capture rendering it uneconomic out of the gate. The crude must compete with Brazilian, American, Guyanan and soon millions of barrels from Venezuela. None of those barrels will bear any of those virtue signaling costs. That task force is there to reclaim Chevron’s stake, nothing more. There will be a supply glut, expect oil under $50 for several years, these conditions make Canada the high cost producer, end of story.

  9. I guess the hewers of oil, electricity, ‘natural’ gas, lumber, potash, coal, grains, minerals will have trade with the US and others, as per the authority of the King.
    No more, no less, with taxes.
