Of note: Climate Barbie has been demoted to Minister of Bike Lanes, with Jonathan Wilkinson taking that portfolio.

Wilkinson was first elected to the House of Commons in 2015, representing the riding of North Vancouver.

Plus gun grabber Bill Blair takes over the Gun Grabbing Portfolio.

So, we’re doomed. Thread open.

“More of the same”.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe came out of a meeting with Prime Minster Justin Trudeau “disappointed” with what he says is a lack of commitment to address Western needs.
 
“We have provided some options for [Trudeau] to support the people of the province and today I did not hear a commitment to moving forward on those items,” said Moe.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe will be on John Gormley Live momentarily. Listen in here.

They want a new country, too.

Encana Corp., one of Canada’s oldest and largest energy companies, is moving its corporate headquarters from Calgary to the United States.
 

The company, which is also changing its name to Ovintiv Inc., said Thursday that having a U.S. address will expose it to increasingly larger pools of investment in U.S. index funds and passively managed accounts, as well as better align it with its U.S. peers.

I always give good advice.

Update.

Patrick Moore;

Canada appears headed for a train wreck due to the widening chasm on energy, climate and finance policy between Alberta and Ottawa. It is possible that no combination of voting outcomes in the October 21 federal election can prevent the breakup of the federation.
 

Canada has been described as “a road from Ottawa to Montreal and back again”, a blunt reference to the fact that when Ontario and Quebec agree on something, the rest of us are chopped liver. This has given rise over the years to the angst known as western alienation. It has presently reached a boiling point like no other time in our history.

Just as planned: B.C.’s top court orders review of Trans Mountain Pipeline’s environmental assessment

After the National Energy Board reviewed the project for a second time, the federal government approved the pipeline expansion again.
 
The Appeal Court says in its decision released today that in light of changes to the original report of the energy board when it reconsidered the project, provincial approval also needs to be reconsidered.

BOE Report;

In 2018 alone, according to detailed information I recently requested from Statistics Canada, the value of crude oil imported into the country was nearly $20 billion. Considering that the oil business is one of the most job-rich parts of the economy, this amounts to exporting a lot of high-paying domestic jobs to foreign places.
 
It’s true there are some complications to the picture that are sometimes lost in the rush judgement, such as the fact even with pipelines to the Atlantic, it would not be simple to replace the lighter grades of oil coming in to Saint John, New Brunswick by tanker.
 
Complications aside, the inflow is an irritant to those who see made-in-Canada petroleum under sustained attack inside of Canada, including by our own politicians, while imported fuels are able to dodge nearly all of the barriers our own products face. This is what torques the irritation to rage – the fact that the vast majority of our fossil fuel imports fail to meet the same environmental, social or economic standards that beleaguered Canadian energy must.
 
It turns out that crude oil is not the only fossil fuel product this applies to.

Family endures heavily-armed RCMP takedown on Alberta farm

“I’m a guy with a young family. I teach piano for a living, I’m not a drug-dealing thug,” the 29-year-old told Postmedia on Wednesday.
 
“I thought they were going to kill my wife, my kids and I. Every time I close my eyes, I see a gun pointed at my head.”
 
In a statement from RCMP, which said they will provide “no further commentary” on the incident, the force said the tactics used were in response to the seriousness of the complaint.

h/t to Larry, who has more to say.

This isn’t the first such incident. It won’t be the last. If the mother, father and two toddlers were killed. Then there might be an apology and officers reassigned. But just as Premier Jason Kenny refuses to address the High River incident. This will be smoothed over and the RCMP and Crown Prosecutor’s will go to every length to get a conviction on anything, no matter how small to justify this SWAT team raid.
 
A few years ago, a pest control officer for the Town of Foam Lake came very close to being shot be an RCMP officer. How many cases don’t make the news ? That is a state secret ! Gun control is just one of the federal gov’t. steps for removing “settlers” from rural Canada, and, I’d argue, bringing into effect P.M. Justin Trudeau’s stated goal of making Canada, the first post nation-state.
