Update! The Carney campaign is off to a great start.

More than 50 Newfoundland and Labrador’s fish harvesters are outside Mark Carney’s rally in St. John’s. Police said they told them to move outside. The front doors are now locked.

Bang on.

The misperception of this behavior as some kind of patriotic response, has been intentionally cultivated by a State media propaganda project that involves ALL “Trusted Media” in Canada. They are fomenting a trade war and precipitating a Canadian economic collapse, as a scapegoat for a decade of corrupt and failed governance.

If anybody could stomach watching Mark Carney’s interview on the Daily Show, they would have witnessed a public figure effortlessly fielding a string of puff ball questions posed to him by a host who could barely contain his unbridled enthusiasm. I was surprised that Jon Stewart didn’t lean over the desk and kiss him.

In response to a question about how Carney would be “left holding the carbon tax bag,” which Stewart argued was “not politically feasible,” Carney hinted that he would target the oil and gas industry with climate policy.

“Almost 30 per cent of our emissions from Canada come from the production and shipment of oil to the United States,” said Carney. “So part of it is cleaning that up, getting those emissions down, more than changing, in a very short period of time, the way Canadians live.”

 

Taxation Without Legislation

Basic Dictatorship You Might Be A Liberal 10 Comments

If the government falls, the capital gains proposals will die. In tax law, it is very common for many technical tax changes to die when an election is called. But it is also very common for such tax technical changes to be reintroduced by the new government, even if the new government is being led by a different political party.

Why? Because such amendments are often technical clean-ups of the Income Tax Act and generally do not have broad-based application. In other words, most such amendments are not controversial. The capital gains proposals, however, do not fall into that category. They are broad-based and certainly controversial.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has a long-standing practice to administer tax laws based upon proposed measures. The tax community, including me, has long supported such a position given the non-controversial nature of most tax amendments.

Accordingly, the CRA has been administering the capital gains proposals as if they will become law. But the capital gains proposals are not simple technical amendments; they have broad and sweeping consequences for many Canadian taxpayers.

Put the top tier of CRA bureaucracy on notice that they’ll administer the tax from their new cubicles in Inuvik and watch them change their tune.

Clean Electricity Regulations are actually a bait and switch; Weyburn Wind Part 2

Here’s the story on Guilbeault’s updated Clean Electricity Regulations, and it includes an at-length discussion with SaskPower Minister Jeremy Harrison explaining why Saskatchewan is rejecting it.

Here’s the key thing: Other media are acting like this is a win – that the deadline has simply been punted to 2050. Well, I actually read through the regulations and realized it’s a bait and switch. In fact, the regulations include an impossible to meet emissions standard for anything that burns anything by 2035. Even if you put carbon capture on every single natural gas and coal power plant in Saskatchewan and Alberta, if the CCS behaves anything like Boundary Dam 3, you won’t get anywhere close to the new standard of 65 tonnes CO2 per gigawatt-hour. So the federal government slyly let people think they’ve punted, when really they haven’t punted at all. Like Lucy, they’re pulling the football away in 10 years and 12 days. (That’s the amount of time we have to build carbon capture on everything. And even if we do, it won’t be good enough. Good luck with that.)

It’s as if I should change the name of the website to SaskPowerOnline.ca. Jeepers – this week is almost all power related.

Freeland resigns!

Does this imply she has no confidence in Trudeau? Her letter says he has no confidence in her.

Watching CBC News Network is rather entertaining. The CBC is in full meltdown mode. For a bit there it looked like Rosemary Barton might issue a tear. Or maybe I was just seeing that through rose coloured glasses?

Climate change warrior shovels quarter billion SaskPower’s way

In Pipeline Online’s continuing mission to ensure we all know exactly what the federal government is telling us on climate change initiatives, this is the verbatim press release from the Government of Canada issued at 18:10 hrs on Dec. 5. Notably, it was not sent out via provincial media releases nor SaskPower’s media releases. And apparently according to the feds, Jansen is a company, not the place the largest mining company in the world, BHP, is building the world’s largest potash mind. Check that out in the opening paragraph.

(You’d think the natural resources minister, and ministry, might be aware of the largest potash mine in the world being built in their country)

The announcement was made by Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson. He and Minister of Environment and Climate Change Steven Guilbeault are the federal Liberal government’s lead ministers on their numerous and various climate change initiatives. For good measure, we’ve interspersed a healthy dosage of oil and gas ads, that industry that this government’s Bill C-59 is trying to muzzle.

Highlights include money for a number of solar projects, advancing SMR development, the intertie to the United States, grid-scale batteries, and a “forecast that there will be over 130,000 clean energy jobs added in Saskatchewan between 2025 and 2050.”

Oh, and I am willing to bet a Christmas cheesecake the $265 million number was set so they could say it was more than Harper gave carbon capture in 2008 ($240 million). Never mind 9 years of inflation meaning my kid cries after buying groceries.

And on the topic of Guilbeault, Pipeline Online columnist Jim Warren, knocks another one out of the park talking about his involvement with the green slush fund.

Spiked- No, you don’t have ‘post-election depression’

How is your mental health holding up after the re-election of Donald Trump this week? Do you need some ‘grief’ counselling? Did you take a day off work? How about a visit from an emotional-support duck, or some time to play with Lego? Believe it or not, these are all options being offered to grown adults at their places of work or study, to help cope with their supposed ‘post-election depression’.
