National Post- Justin Trudeau’s war on oil and gas is a war on the middle class

Don’t worry, it will keep getting worse. The cost of gas will continue to rise — and with it, the price of just about everything else. Once this pandemic-induced inflationary period has passed, the Liberals’ enthusiasm for forcing Canadians to lower their standard of living will only grow.

Zerohedge- Weaponized Governmental Failure

The crime and the graft and the potholes and the bad drainage, not to mention the spotty trash collection or nonexistent snow shoveling, aren’t incompetence. In fact, none of what you see in the American public sector is incompetence. The people responsible for it are quite highly educated and well-trained in their craft. You just need to understand what their craft is.

It’s a choice to do a poor job with the more mundane tasks of running a city, and an educated and purposeful choice at that. If you do those things effectively, after all, what you will get is middle-class voters moving in. Middle-class voters tend to choose to live in places where they can expect to get actual value out of their tax dollars — good roads, safe streets, functional drainage, decent schools, a friendly business climate, and a growing economy, among other things — and those things are hard to produce when you govern the way the Left does.

  1. John Tory and his cabal of councillors are a perfect example of the leadership who focus on everything except the core functions of the government they run.

    Which of course means moving resources from core functions to many programs that don’t make sense

    1. You mean that trip to China with his gang that just about got caught to stay over as borders and air traffic was closing at the beginning of the Pandemic?
      Whatever happened to hiring locally…you know, paying jobs?

    2. Bang on JD…

      Remember when Tory was running around trying to get elected somewhere… anywhere…desperately seeking any .gov levers of powers over us all…

      Thanks Rodgers…

      Was that the time of the push to get their evil hands on a majority of the levers of power over our families societies before implementing the Global Covid 19 DEMOCIDE Psop…

    1. I don’t know how much I buy the evil genius argument. Evil idiots seems to be a better fit.

      1. The Evil Geniuses are those at the very top of the food chain.

        Larry Fink, Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Schwab, Gates along with their lackeys, the Trudeaus, Obama’s, Clinton’s, Macrons, Fauci’s, Rutte, Daszaks, Wallenskys, and that POS running the WHO etc….the rest. ?

        Useful Idiots…

  2. Give them a hammer and they will build…maybe…
    Is it right handed or left handed?
    Such confusing questions.

    1. Are you presuming what the hammer identifies as, you right-wing awful person? What if the hammer identifies as a dildo? Have you thought of that?

  3. I don’t know how it is other places, but I have a feeling people better buy some good snow shovels, and boots for winter.
    I can’t see companies getting the help they need to clear snow at 1 am this year.
    A company is offering 40 bucks an hour for plow operators with 5 years experience, I don’t know what they offering the guys shoveling.
    The good workers are going to be enticed to stay, the old fellas are saying fkit, and probably 10 percent or less of young people will take any job that involves a bit of sweat, or common sense.
    Let alone cold temps, and a blizzard or two.
    And I don’t know how big sewer and water companies are finding workers who can lay pipe, pull trench boxes, etc.
    One company I know is enticing retired guys to come back to try and make the hoe operators etc ,more productive.
    It amazing how everything seems to be coming to a head.
    The progs, and their legions of coddling blind minions have done a wonderful job.
    Maybe the bottom will straighten things out, as it seems the pandemic didn’t.

  4. Well, thank you, NatPo presstitutes, for pointing out the patently obvious! It’s absolutely amazing how all that gov’t funding only puts you a few years behind the curve. Imagine how timely your headlines could be if you weren’t getting free taxpayer funded cheques and actually had to hustle for a story.

    How long will it take you to discover that the coof jabs are actually population control? Fifty years? A hunnert?

    1. Thank you. We don’t need to hear anything from the compromised media, unless it’s an apology. Which I will ignore.

      1. Legacy media is on it’s last legs, gasping it’s last breath. The future will be subscription news. Your going to have to pay for the best writers and analysts. It’s already here.

  5. According to the Liberal Party’s Nanos, only 12% of Canadians are worried about global warming. Yet that is all Blackie talks about. The biggest concerns are inflation and the economy, which are things he has no interest in.

    1. “According to the Liberal Party’s Nanos, only 12% of Canadians are worried about global warming.”

      Not many … but probably more than those who are worried about their disappearing freedoms.

  6. I’d like to see some MP or journalist ask the Liberals about the math.
    How many third world children will starve to death and how many will go blind from malnutrition due to their war on food production in Canada?
    And how many dead and malnourished children would be too many?
    Have they done the math?

    It’s pretty simple stuff, every increase in the price of food in the third world kills X number of children.

  7. The ZH article is quite pertinent to Ottawa. We have two main candidates for Mayor coming up for election; one is middle of the road and the other is a lefty “do-gooder” who wants to spend large sums of money on bike lines, free transit, etc. and has the support of all the progressives, including Mark Carney, international flunky. If she wins, expect the pot-hole index to increase along with the number “safe” drug centers.

      Sooo.
      Biden is being credited for bringing down gasoline prices, because of his Recession, Depression future’s for North America.
      WHEN little Daffy of Canada destroys your economy gasoline will decrease dramatically.

    2. Another look at diesel and prices

      “Well, let me tell you a little story.

      Back in the late 1990s I engaged Investment Bankers to decide what to do with MCSNet as the firm’s CEO. I had laid before me three basic options:

      1. Attempt to take the company public, lever it up and expand it to the best of my ability at the most-rapid pace I could get away with, endeavoring to execute an IPO. This of course had great risk (if you try and fail the leverage will probably kill you) but also great potential reward (a billion was certainly possible, a hundred million easy.)

      2. Sell it to whoever we could market it to in its current (very healthy) financial condition, unlevered.

      3. Run it to deliberate destruction, extracting as much as possible but investing nothing.

      I decided to execute on #2.

      Read #3 however many times you need to until it sinks on for one simple reason: If the government had ever told me it was going to deliberately destroy my industry or even just my firm that is the only sane choice I could have made. #1 would be fraud under those conditions for which I’d go to prison and #2 would fail. Therefore #3 it would be.

      Every single fossil fuel firm in America has been told this, and thus until and unless the government that did this is forced to both retract it and never be able to do it again #3 is what they are and will all do.

      No other choice makes any sense at all.

      You and I are directly responsible for this because many of you have directly demanded exactly this via your green energy fantasies and the rest of us have tolerated both those fantasies and the people promoting them.

      This is the truth whether you like it or not, and the economic circumstances will continue to deteriorate until and unless it is stopped.”

  8. There was a great post on ‘Ace os Spades’ one time. The writer pointed out that the left has protests for fun, to gain temporary concessions and then ramp the violence down.

    We’re seeing that in Europe and the rest of the world. Mostly peaceful protests, little violence or damage…nothing for our leaders to worry about. Or do something stupid….like seizing bank accounts….unless those leaders are completely retarded.

    But when the productive part of society, the conservative part of society finally can’t take it anymore….they have everything to lose and the war won’t stop until everything is changed. In our case, after democide, I like to think that when the next ‘war’ starts, the entire remaining bloodlines of our enemies will be hunted down and dealt with.

    We’re not there yet, but pushing people into poverty brings us a huge step closer.

    And since people who couldn’t resist the government are being killed off at faster and faster rates, the percentage of ‘fighters’….of whatever age keeps growing. At some point, things snap.

    I know our leaders hate us. But, I also believe they fear us….on some level. Maybe on some unconscious level, they are trying to punish us now for the revenge they know we are going to exact later. In reality, they depend on us for everything.

    We will take everything from them and we will be happy.

  9. Trudeau is Putin’s green bitch.
    All of these insane global warming anti-oil policies benefit Putin.
    No wonder Putin funds the green crazies that direct Trudeau behind the scenes.
    Maybe one of Trudeau’s media fluffers will take a break and ask him about it.
    Maybe not.

  10. Boy Blunder is a gift to Westerners.
    Calling all “patriotic Liberals”…Your leader wants Can Ahh Duh to be free of fossil fuels.
    Give Dear Leader what he wishes.
    Separate the West from the rest.

    Everybody wins.
    Dear Leader and his idiot followers ,will have a fossil fuel free country.
    Buffalo will be free to sell our products to who ever pays the best price..While being able to heat our homes and eat real beef..
    And nevermore will the remainder ever fear losing power to a “Western Based” power bloc..
    Free to wallow in every stunned progressive idiocy they chose..
    With only one drawback..That being the Prairies ain’t gonna cover the bill..
    As for “Non Libtard” persons,Canada is a failed state.
    You need no one to tell you this obvious truth.
    Act accordingly.
    In times of trouble,select company you can trust and land you can defend..
    Same as it has ever been.
    Empire always debases its currency onto collapse.
    Confederated Canada has coasted on the coattails of Uncle Sam..Into kleptocracy.

    There is no “Reform” of a kleptocracy.
    Only the age old “Cure” for fools and thieves.
    As the world turns,the cycles of human stupidity repeat.
    Forward!.

    What will it be?
    Surrender to the madness?
    Or repeat the old ways?

    The guillotine!
    Because it is our heritage.

  11. Damn, I’m so sick and tired of dumb weasel sentences like:
    “A carbon tax is not necessarily a bad thing.”

    With of course the thoroughly naive notion about being offset by a reduction in other taxes/regulations.

    Never EVER make concessions like this.

  12. Canadian men: if enough of you had a drop of testosterone left running in your veins, this would be enough to march on Ottawa, hogtie this tyrant faggot and put him on a one way flight to Havana. But the soy runs deep…

  13. Don’t worry, once you get used to the diet of mealworms and crickets, burning your furniture for heat, and sitting in the dark, you’ll learn to live as your ancestors did a thousand years ago. Hope you like dysentery from drinking sewer water.

  14. I really want to know why Justin Trudeau is identified as the perpetrator of the assault on the middle class, when he is only expressing the wishes of the Liberal Party, the NDP, and the Bloc? They enable this, yet they won’t be saddled with the fallout.I know there are feeble mutterings about Jagmeet Singhbut it is the parties who should be bearing the brunt, no matter how odious some individuals are.

  15. Dear SDA Fans,
    Did you catch all the untruths being peddled here in the National Sturmer in support of the globalist narrative?
    Where was the Sturmer during the darkest days of covid? Plugging the official party line of course!!!
    Have the oil patch executives who signed on to the green scan to cash on on the scam learned the lesson:
    “A little bit of leaven spoils the whole lot?”
    Gerry Butts is having the last laugh and so am I.
    Still stacking wood and brass.

  16. Why blame Trudeau? The degradation of services has been going on for a long time. It’s what happens when you have to fund the fat pensions of public employees for twenty or thirty years. That’s where the money goes to, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s not incompetence, it’s the forseeable result of decades of union negotiations for fat pensions and a vastly increased life expectancy.

  17. I have and will continue to call it a civil war.
    And Juthtin and his party are winning this war on the middle class.
    With the help of Prog mayors, dickless premiers, the MS media, government workers, the Security Apparatus and mentally defective voters.
    So far it’s been a cold civil war and that’s how they want to keep it.

    Democrats and Liberals have done everything except verbally declare – and even that is changing – their neo-Marxist credentials and their fascist endgame.

    Liberty will either be quashed by these rotten bastards, or they and their ilk will be obliterated by the citizenry.
    So, was the January 6th and Convoy Protests rumblings of bigger things to come or the dying gasps of the few not yet cowed?

    1. The answer is simple. When a critical mass of people decide the government has worn them down enough they have nothing left to lose, Bastilles are stormed and guillotines put into service. Until then nothing will happen.
