2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

[QV]

You can be for a carbon tax and also for building more O&G infrastructure. A carbon tax only eats into O&G profits, it doesn't eliminate it. It's not a zero sum game.

You could apply all the taxes you like, but if you are not creating a competitive environment (ex: drill baby drill) then you lose to those other markets. There is a simple reason O&G capital fled Canada. Canada is not competitive, in fact it obstructs.

I recommend reading between the lines, C-69 only affects federal assessments, by telling the provinces that provincial environmental assessments are good enough if completed, that by passes C-69 and other laws because no federal assessment will be conducted.

Sounds like someone actually understands the housing issue and has an actual solution…

Sure, but the biggest roadblock to further development is not the Carbon Tax. The carbon tax affects Canadian consumers, not international customers. The biggest issue to further growth in O&G is regulatory uncertainty.

So, I stand by my initial statement. Being supportive of the carbon tax, or of aiming to achieve net zero (emphasis on net), does not mean that Carney is lying (or being hypocritical) about O&G being a key part of Canadian economic strategy.

Other than creating another public agency, which I expect will just ad more red tape, it looks reasonable.

I like the idea of embracing prefabs.

Pretty sure cmhc was in that business before. Just expand the role

until he comes out and says that he will expedite the approval and construction of systems that can get our oil from Alberta to off-shore markets he is, using your term, a hypocrite. And with his proposed tax system he is making it less profitable for the companies to pursue expansion. Instead they will stay will the status quo at the most whilst exploring other resources to tap for countries that will appreciate the effort

It's all barriers to business. Whether its the carbon tax, industrial carbon pricing, caps on emissions. The market will decide, and by the outflow of capital, it seems to be speaking loud and clear.

Carney is the father of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero. The goal is to reach Net Zero by 2050.

Does anyone seriously think he is going to abandon his baby for Canada's benefit? I think he's going to try make Canada the poster boy for his initiative, no matter what he's telling voters.

Even though Canada achieved Net Zero a long time ago.



Latest figures have us below 1.5% of the world's emissions.

Carney has been caught in a number of lies, sleight of hand moves and obfuscations to questions since he appeared as trudeau's royal successor.

Plain and simple, given the last decade of nation destroying liberal policies and actions, I don’t know how anyone can possibly trust him or them. He's surrounded himself with the same enablers and liars as trudeau had. He is the author of the illegal freezing of bank accounts. I think people are stuck looking through the tube of the present and what is right in front of them. Instead they need to look at his whole history from Goldman Sachs all the way through til now. He near ruined Canada by coaching trudeau to implement his agenda. He destroyed the British economy, which they haven’t been able to fix. He's still a Foundational Board member of the WEF and is in agreement with their agenda.

Everyone knows the carnage to Canada produced by anything Gerald Butts is attached to and Carney brought him back on as a senior member of his government and PMO.

Carney is just plain dangerous to Canada and our future. Trusting him and his cronies is gambling with your families legacy.

Setting aside a host of issues like the scandals of the last LPC government (too numerous to name), missing billions, seizure and prohibition of private property (freezing accounts, prohibiting legal firearms), division, dismantling history, etc etc... set all that aside...

If you were to look one thing... look at how Canada has performed economically in the last decade compared to peer nations. Want more of that? Then vote LPC.

Deliverology has always been an issue with the Liberals. Will the work ethic of the roadies change with a new lead guitar?

 

[HavokFour]

Remind me again what PP based his entire shtick on for the last 3 years?

Spoilers: I am not Trudeau! Trudeau BAD! Vote for me!

Read the room buddy. Trump isn't absolutely everything, but also it's blazingly clear you cannot pivot at all.

He said he will stand up for the millennial women "whose biological clock is running out faster than they can afford to buy a home and have kids."

He should make it about Trump. Run a full minute ad with every Trump quote praising Mark Carney and stating "Pollievre isn't a MAGA guy." Kinda just blows up the entire last 4 years of PP = Trump rhetoric.

I don't know if I'd use that wording, but there is a germ of an idea there, if deployed properly.

Mind you, the captain has to be able to tell the wheelhouse to make a big turn - we'll see if that happens.

Except that wouldn't do didly squat. People don't think PP=Trump because of "rhetoric", people think PP=Trump because of PP's style of leadership, his talking points, his populist messaging, etc.

Carney standing by candidate Paul Chiang, who suggested Conservative be turned over to China for bounty

A teachable moment? Sure... you know what the lesson was? Don't threaten your opposition with abduction at the behest of another country; goodbye.

There's no place in any part of Canadian society or democracy for this kind of messaging. Then again, we know which party gained the most the last time the Chinese got involved.

You guys keep moving the god damn goal posts. First it was "Trudeau Trudeau Trudeau, all Trudeau, F*** Trudeau" , and now it's all "it was the cabinet ministers! ", it was "it was butts and Telford whispering in his ear! ", "it was Carney puppeting his economic policy!". Stop being so butt hurt that PP and CPC is tanking in the polls.

Poilievre is just plain dangerous to Canada and our future. Trusting him and his cronies is gambling with your families legacy.

Bad decision on his part.

I wrote to both the Liberal party centrally, and to the Liberal candidate in my riding today at a fair bit of length (I know, try not to be shocked) to express my considerable unhappiness with them standing by Chiang as a candidate. I’m super unimpressed that he’s not been bounced out on his ass. Saying something like that is, IMO, utterly disqualifying.

PP and CPC is tanking in the polls.

Its actually the NDP and the Bloc that are tanking and the LPC is hoovering up those votes, the CPC is still pretty firm at 38%.
I think I'll vote for the Dipper in my riding of Ottawa Centre. Then again, the LPC could put up a rotting piece of red painted plywood and get the riding.
