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:

Pathetic actually ! This country is screwed !
Nobody can ask anyone else to do something which they haven't a freakin' clue how to do. JT is a figurehead trotted out by the backroom boys because he looked pretty to the women voters,promised dope to the university kids to get their vote and you just watch. They'll take a page or two out of Bernie Sanders socialist election playbook and promise free prescriptions to seniors,free tuition for universities and a chicken in every pot. The sad thing is he'll get re-elected even if the government fails because Canadians will NEVER take responsibility for anything unless they find themselves out in the street living out of a dryer crate under a highway overpass. It'll serve them gawddam right,too.Quote:

The trouble the west, the conservatives, or anyone not on the left has, is that "WE" see what are the problems and are trying to solve them. The thing that stops anything being fixed is the large number of people in Quebec and places like Toronto, Windsor, and Hamilton that have their heads up their butts.
The first thing we need to do is change our technique, from trying to win a large enough Government to have the votes to fix the problems. Second thing we have to do is get Quebec to separate. Promise them any and every thing it takes to get them to separate. After they form their own country, we don't have give them a thing. If they come crying that their were promised things, we just tell them that all the agreements were between the Province of Quebec and the rest of Canada, NOT Canada and a Foreign Government.
Just saying......

That's what I've always said, should have let QC go decades ago rather than pandering to their crying the blues, just like FN.
I was watching a video yesterday ,an indigenous woman said they need to worry about the opioid crisis before good jobs[emoji54].
This was for the pipeline that's on the protest.
Another thing our government is lacking in.
Even trump is trying pretty hard at the problem

And world oil prices didn't play a part?

There are 15+ “APPROVED” projects that companies in the oil sands have shelved because of the price of oil.
Did politics play a part absolutely but when it comes to big corporations look at the bottom line and you will find your answer.

That is like debating which came first, the chicken or the egg. Unlike that arguement, this is pretty simple to figure out. The fox is to blame.
Worded differently, the price of oil certainly is a factor. That price, especially for our oil is artificially devalued due to lack of pipelines. The US has us over a barrel,and buys our oil at a steep discount.
Why is that?
Those two elements alone may be enough to give any CEO pause.
Now add, the regulatory mess, and protestors ruling the roost...
In a rare move Tecks CEO was pretty straightforward. Didn’t really mince words.

What came first chicken or egg is simple to answer. Chicken came from reptiles, reptiles had eggs. Hence egg came before chicken.
Fish had eggs before reptiles, and there were birds before there were chickens. So the evidence is stacked very strongly in the favor of your argument.Quote:
