My concern and I believe, the CPC’s main concern re the MOU for a “pathway” to a pipeline to the NW BC coast, is that the Liberal gov’t is still choosing winners and losers rather than project proponents who deserve a reliable and consistent system of gov’t review to determine acceptability for any major project. Instead, the decision is pure politics and misguided ideology over science! It didn’t used to be that way, and it shouldn’t be today. Carney doling out select approvals for projects based on his personal ideology is fundamentally wrong! And like a king issuing Earldoms or the like to those who genuflect and meet HIS wishes, he ignores the rights of Canadians to expect Science and sound practice to rule over HIS views!
There is also the fact that Brookfield Asset Management is very much invested in energy infrastructure, including pipelines, in other countries. If this comes to pass, chances are that Canada and Alberta may win, but BAM will probably win bigger.
Brian go listen to Marc Nixon on UTube interview with John Carpay. They reveal a report that the Privy Council started the scam of covid three years before anyone knew what covid was. It was the biggest psyop Canada ever went thru, even bigger than Ultra MK. And all in lockstep with the WEF. Nigel Hanaford spent hours doing research to put this out. You were conned Canadians, dying people died alone, kids couldnt have graduation the harm to society and its still going on cant be measured. Are they using these methods to twist the way people vote. Because how some people acted during covid towards the unvaccinated truly shows how easy it is to brainwash Canadians. Please go listen to this UTube show or you will just fall into the next trap
Forwarded that link to Brian. I believe Brian understands more than he can say until and when he becomes an independent podcastor. Lol . Consider this VDH discourse and apply it to Canada the last ten years
Let’s hope we get a pipeline but a MOU does not even reach the level of a LOI which does not reach the level of a purchase and share agreement which still has to be acted upon. This is all performative.
MOU, MOM is more like it (memorandum of misunderstanding), its all Brookfield and BAM and BN (Brookfield Corporation), Must watch (this morning) Bakes BOMBSHELL: Brookfield Diverged...
I wish MJC was truly a PM, Alberta and Canadians could TRUST, (my opinion he was never PM more like a CEO or COO but NOT PM! Mark J Carney cannot be trusted, his conflicts far too many and it sickens me
One: Why is Hedy still around - got to be the dimmest 'politician' going.
Two: Strauss's question, while valid, is performative and somewhat rhetorical. The Dean knows where her bread is buttered and will only go so far with her comments re: Saudi Arabia. Further, UoT, among the other uni's in Canada, is still fairly DEI bent so there's that. Nothing shocking with her non-answer answer. Only Trump is trying to eradicate this DEI rot in higher learning institutions - there is no one on the Canadian stage of any noteworthiness calling out this BS (but for Dr Jordan Peterson and perhaps Mark Steyn, though ill-health has muted their efforts).
Firstly, concerning the potential deal between Ottawa and Alberta, I say full speed ahead. Let us not not forget there are a substantial amount of "progressive" Liberals and their MSM mouthpieces (step forward Toronto Star) who want this deal to fail and will do their underhanded best to sabotage it. I didn't vote for Mr Carney, but he is a damn sight better than his predecessor and Canada needs this deal to be a success. So I would advise the CPC to state publicly that in principle they understand the need for the pipeline, and they applaud any effort by the government to do something the CPC has spent the last decade saying needs to be done. Saying that, I would qualify my support by indicating that the CPC expects that PM Carney to commit to ensuring this is first and foremost the main priority for his government, and not just window dressing. Concerning immigration, of course you are right on Brian. The NDP have become irrelevant, so who cares? Mr lewis can become Canada's version of Mr Mamdani and continue to make a fool of himself.
Leftist women throw all women under the bus for their political causes such as transgenderism and the oppressed vs. the oppressor. It’s why I don’t call myself a feminist anymore.
The energy industry supported net zero. They - the big players - have no credibility on this file. They won't be proposing to build a pipeline. Smith crossed the floor to join Prentice. She has weak principles. Many FN will never agree to a pipeline. Those that do are grifters. The MOU is a sham.
Brian, I really am enjoying your articles! Your ability to see issues within their context places you well above the bell-curve.
Since Covid, many..many industries have lost the public trust. Doctors...nope can't trust them no' more. Politicians...any scrap of humanity they pretended to have has been shattered.
And the news media? Well....an atrocious hellscape of bias and outright lies. But my trust in the media is slowly returning, thanks to honourable souls like yourself, Brian.
I cannot say this enough: Brian is the only qualified person to turn the CBC around. And if he cannot, then burn it down. I'm OK with either. =)
And that pipeline is almost full, Paul. Remember that any suggested pipeline is realistically, perhaps, seven or eight years until completion so "almost full" now means a lot of restrictions on that pipeline by the time a new pipeline is actually commissioned.
A real problem is that any pipeline as contemplated for export to Asian markets would require far larger tankers than could now be accommodated at the Burnaby shipping terminal. Of course, that terminal could - theoretically - be expanded but the shipping channels are much too shallow for the required tankers.
You could argue that the channels could be dredged but the resulting opposition from the usual suspects over, oh, additional shipping in an already congested area, environment, yada, yada, yada [all the things that can be adequately protected .... but, that is never a guarantee against the opposition of those folks], etc. would make such a project highly dubious.
My point is that, yes, there are some tanker loads going to Asia from Burnaby but of limited tanker size and limited sailings. Therefore

Hodgson and Carney learned how to roll at Goldman Sachs. A primer:

Women have been allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia since 2018, Matt Strauss may be smart but he's behind the times.
What’s about the tanker ban and emissions cap. Eby won’t move on the tanker ban
It’s actually not up to him. It’s federal jurisdiction. Blame Carney if this never happens.

Rupert is 3 days closer to Asia as well.
