Big business exists to make big money. When that can't happen.........P-F-F-F-T.......Gone!! Socialists have to be taught that corporations are not benevolent societies and there's no such thing as a free lunch.
They’ll be dancing in the streets.....one more nail in the coffin of this country !!Quote:

No more permanent welfare.Quote:

The withdrawal of Teck’s Frontier Mine application is more devastating news for the Canadian economy, especially for Albertans and Indigenous people.
This decision is clearly the result of federal regulatory uncertainty and the current lawless opposition to resource development.
The mine would have created 7,000 high-paying jobs, and generated $70 billion in government revenues to fund health care and other services.
All 14 nearby First Nations gave Frontier full support. They would have benefited with hundreds of jobs and tens of millions of dollars in revenue.
The Teck Mine would shrink the environmental footprint of energy production, with the lowest carbon intensity per barrel in the oil sands. According to Science Magazine it would be in the lowest quartile of carbon intensity per barrel of oil produced worldwide.
The Frontier Mine was approved according to the world’s most rigorous regulatory standards, following 9 years of exhaustive environmental reviews and Aboriginal consultation, costing Teck $1.1 billion.
This follows the cancellation of the Petronas $40 billion LNG project, the federal government killing the Energy East and Northern Gateway pipelines after massive investments, and now the national economy being hijacked over the Coastal Gas Link project, despite the support of all 20 affected First Nations.
Teck’s decision to pull its application in part because of “public safety concerns” is deeply troubling. Our country’s leadership urgently must decide whether the rule of law and national unity mean anything in Canada, and whether jobs and growth matter for our future.
Our country’s leadership must decide whether anti-development militants will be allowed to lock Indigenous people into perennial poverty.
The factors that led to today’s decision, including federal politicization of the regulatory process, further weakens national unity.
This deepens Alberta’s resolve to use every tool available to fight for greater autonomy, including the right to develop our own resources.

Canada is closed for business.
How will we be able to pay for the antiquated Indian Act.

Just one more kick in the gonads of the west, compliments of the village idiots ineptitude ! This project would have been a real boon to the indigenous people. However, I don’t see them complaining about the cancellation....yet !
“Since the world’s largest countries are not doing their share on emissions reduction, why are we morally obliged to wreck our economy, especially when our natural gas could reduce net global emissions by helping lessen Asia’s use of higher-emitting coal? Historians will look back in bewilderment if Canada sacrificed so much for so little environmental return“ Quote
I couldn’t of said it better...how true...
Unfortunate ... but let me ask all of you ... do you think this will teach TruDOPE anything ... I don't, I don't think he even gives a rats "where the sun don't shine". He is working on his defense language now, because you know the PCs will be all over this in Parliament. Can't wait to hear the TruDOPE rhetoric, you know the responses where he doesn't answer the actual question and talks about how the Liberals are focused on a strategy to do blah, blah, blah ... they don't care, this means nothing ... not one thing.
The country will literally have to crumble before the public will do anything about it. Until OUR jobs are about to be lost, along with OUR houses and future ... we will only b%tch on blogs ... pefff. Won't achieve anything ...
The guys tearing down the blockades ... yeah, they about to lose their jobs (or already have), or about to run out of propane or food, because nothing is being delivered. It has to come to a life threatening situation.
It’s all part of the UNs wealth distribution plan Kool-Aid that our village idiot has drank in large quantities !! IMHO....Quote:
