This sums up the liberals view of pipelines and mining.
Carney Hits It Out Of the Park
- Thread starter squeezer
- Start date
Nope, can't deny it whatsoever and from what i have seen and read, I approve of his work so far, even the immigration reform bill surprised me with its scope.
I thought Pierre was a whiny, flip flopping Trump follower who had never held a real job his entire life, yet I would have voted for a conservative candidate just to get rid of Trudeau.
Glad Trudeau quit, at this point the country seems to be in better hands so far.
Carney will introduce tax cuts and scuttle increase on
capital gain tax to benefit the affluent.
He may collaborate with the oil industry to increase
oil production into the future leading to further destruction
of Earth's climate.
He has already proved to be a Trump appeaser and will
likely ass-kiss Trump to safeguard our export economy.
Not too bad a PM although I am afraid Carney is going to
lead us on a joyride to bankruptcy by stepping up deficit
spending.
Context is everything.
This statment was made in Nov/2024 when he was not Chief of Staff but whe he was executive vice-president and head of CDPQ Global and the global head of sustainability
Marc André Blanchard actually said this“CDPQ’s conviction that it is essential not to contribute to increased oil and coal production and to focus on renewable and transition energies"
Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) is an investor for public and semi-public pension plans.
CDPQ has committed to achieving a net zero portfolio by 2050, to date, it has decreased its carbon intensity by 59% from 2017 a baseline.
There investment report outlined that in 2017, CDPQ held $8.9bn of oil and coal production assets, however as of 2023 the fund no longer holds any investments relating to the two fossil fuels in both public and private portfolios.
He also said “This climate strategy does not come at the expense of good yields, on the contrary, over five years in equity markets, we made almost $1bn more than if we had an oil exposure like that of the MSCI ACWI index."
In other words there was more money to be made in the markets for the pension funds they represented by staying away from the volatile oil and coal market at that time.
Considering he "borrowed" many Conservative policies to win the election and that he's Trump's preference, I'm not too surprised.Carney is actually looking a lot more like a Conservative than a Liberal, but thanks for the espresso invite
But you have to laugh at Liberal supporters who haven't realized they've tripped over their own hypocrisy yet.
Yes I can, he's been centre left. CBC is safe, Dental plan is safe. To combat the US and not be reliant on them, he needs to do exactly what he's doing. He is doing a great job. He gets my stamp of Liberal approval. Now, keep in mind, I like Doug Ford and I liked John Tory. I like folks who lead from the middle.
Now stop poking bear or you will lose the Sambuca in the espresso offer.
So what do you consider a Liberal supporter?
Someone that voted liberal once?
Someone who voted Conservative all their life then voted Liberal this election because of the Conservative leaders ability to maintain voter support?
Please explain these simple questions.
Could be he is ambidextrous.
I would almost say he has been using a common sense approach up to this point.
Liberal supporter: Someone who willfully supported the Liberal government over the past decade, cheered on their poor fiscal management and woke agenda, and continues to, with their hatred for all things Conservative outweighing their love of the country, the future of their children and grandchildren, and their own self-respect.
Good?
Talk is cheap. Show me action and I'll pay attention.
The cons just keep repeating the same talking points as if they were facts.
Was there an urgency to build a cross-country pipeline
during Harper's time like it is now?
Right-wing policies are not right-wing if they are introduced
by the Liberals.
Reduction of immigration can only be racist if implemented
by the Conservatives.
Stimulating oil production increase through building new
crude oil pipeline would be climate denial if executed by
the Conservatives. With Carney in charge new cil pipeline
if built would be for transportation of decarbonised oil.
Tariff negotation with Trump by the Conservatives would
be seen as an act of kowtowing to Trump. With Carney leftie
Canada is standing up to Trump by dropping retaliatory tariffs
on U.S. imports.
Tax cut by the Conservatives would be taking money away
from the poor to benefit the rich. Carney's tax cut and elimination
of capital gain tax raise would only benefit the not so rich.
Only under the Liberals could continuing to grow our national
debt after the diastrous fiscal performance of Trudeau
be hailed 'growth and investment'. With the Conservatives
our financial future will be destroyed by growing debt.
Wasn't Obama a progressive preaching peace, won the Nobel Prize for Peace and then dropped more bombs than Bush ever did?
You are cherry-picking left-wing policies.
I'm talking about pipelines, mining, and stronger border control.
All these are typical right-wing policies, and of course also strongly supported by Trump
There's hope for you yet
Real men drink vodka on the rocks, no chaser
trump just lost the US a $1 trillion contract for fighter jets while Carney is making big deals with the EU.
Pipelines to combat being reliant on Trump is a must, has nothing to do with right or left
The same with Mining. Our economy, as it is, thanks to the clown next door, is in danger.
The border, trying to stop guns coming and stolen cars going out, is long overdue; the rest is to appease Trumputin because the high-level talks are going on trying to kill the tariffs here before the summit in 2 weeks.
If Wynn returned, I'd turn on Doug.
Scotch is what real men drink. A good Johnny Walker Blue, Macallan, or Glenfiddich. Vodka is for Russians. Scotch and Tequila for me.Real men drink vodka on the rocks, no chaser
You've lost the Sambuca offer! Plain espresso without a creamy top and Splenda for sugar!
