Replace Trudeau with Mark Carney and I may vote the Liberals (again).

you passed on Andrew Scheer & a very decent man Erin O'Toole

That I know. But then so has pretty much everyone else
in his party. Carney is just another climate hypocrite who
once assume leadership will continue to promote oil, gas
and coal production. He will still benefit the fossil fuel
industry better than climate lunatics/hypocrites, Steven
Guilbeault and Jonathan Wilkinson.

Mark Carney likes to talk green, but he’s just another agent of the status quo

The former Bank of England governor is finance adviser at COP26 and rumoured to be running for Canadian prime minister. But his new book is just a flutter of platitudes

I agree that you don't have to go. But be careful what you wish for

Well if the Liberals or NDP(regardless of leader) get voted in as PM, we are still fucked. Reckless spending, tree huggers and unlimited legal and illegal immigration that will run this country into the ground.

 

[GameBoy27]

It seems Trudeau is set on doing what Kathleen Wynne did to the provincial Liberals. Making voters so fed up with them that they'll vote the conservatives in, regardless of whether or not they like their leader.

This always happens between elections. Then when the Cons have to state what they would actually do during an election, everyone sobers up and returns the Liberals. No one in Ontario is going to vote Con after what Ford has done since winning power again. He's worse on every issue that peopme dumped Wynne for. He was lucky there was a pandemic to save his ass. Even if Pollievre could somehow win, best he does is a minority and the Libs and NDP would bring him down if he tried to govern as PM of Alberta. The rest of Canada has no stomach for that kind of crazy, especially after Harper. The country is on fire and all he cares about is ending carbon taxes which even Alberta has put in place

Because the fires are so much fewer since they brought in the carbon tax?

Carbon taxes aren't going to increase them. Can that be said about Alberta's policy of ever increasing production? That carbon tax money can be used to restore funding to our barely alive fire management services, which always seem to get cut when some Con needs to balance a budget to "save money". Penny wise, pound foolish

If the government uses carbon tax money to fund expenses on fire management
where is the money for carbon tax rebate to come from?

I don't know if carbon taxes are going to increase wildfire. But I can't
see how a tax with rebate will reduce people's carbon footprint.

I see you bought the spin, hook, line and sinker. Here's how the fire budget works.

At least the past five provincial budgets, which are tabled in the spring before the forest fire season starts, earmarked the same amount — $69.8 million — to emergency firefighting. The actual costs then routinely jumped to near or over $100 million based on what happened during the fire season itself.

"Especially last year, we saw a spike in forest fire activity and therefore response, the treasury was able to mobilize very quickly," Rickford said.

"Those resources would not have been identified at the beginning of the fiscal year."

This is what happens. The budget is set at $69.8 million. Then the next year they spend $100 million for example. The following year the budget is set back to $69.8 million. Then you have the opposition parties getting their knickers in a knot saying "see, Ford and his cuts, Ford and his cuts. We can't fight the fires because Ford cut $30 million from the firefighting budget. And people like yourself believe them.

In other words, they have the ability to increase the budget as the need arises. Not every year is going to see fires as bad as this year.

Can be used is far cry from will used as you well know. This Government has let fell behind on fire management resources as it with many things -like defence . Meanwhile I'm open hearing if carbon tax has in measurable impact on the environment , What do they spend it on or do you believe Justin and it all refunded and the tax is a zero sum game?

 

[ogibowt]

all i know is this...the Conservative party a few years ago almost made a far right loon its leader........PP is not much different imo...he just has prettier hair........too many Social Conservatives in that party for my taste...........although i think Trudeau is a pious pompous know it all nob..PP would be a a disaster as PM imo...

You're right, we should go straight after oil&gas profits and pensions to pay for climate change damage.

you are sooo mistaken
the liberal party in Ont has been decimated

He was lucky there was a pandemic to save his ass

.
what a redicolus thing to say
nobody is lucky a pandemic came along

Even if Pollievre could somehow win, best he does is a minority and the Libs and NDP would bring him down if he tried to govern as PM of Alberta.

you are sooo confused
Pollievre will be the next Prime Minister of Canada

The rest of Canada has no stomach for that kind of crazy, especially after Harper.

after the inflation and endless corruption Canada has no stomach for Justin Trudeau

The country is on fire

wild fire burn acreage has been declining for a century

and all he cares about is ending carbon taxes which even Alberta has put in place

And once again you show your ignorance of the facts
the carbon tax was imposed by the NDP , who recently rejected by the electorate again

the carbon tax is evil and it will not survive

Canada's shock ranking in the world's top oil producers (msn.com)

4. Canada: 5.429 million barrels per day

The rapid expansion of Canada's oil sands has been driving impressive growth in the industry. In 2018, output was up 8.9% as a number of new projects went live, and the number of barrels produced per day increased by another 2.4% in 2019 to over 5.3 million.

The North American country wasn’t immune to the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak and production decreased to 5.135 million barrels per day in 2020. However, the oil sands were thought to have fully recovered from the pandemic shock by June 2021, according to IHS Markit.

Between 2020 and 2021, its production increased to 5.429 million barrels a day. Canada looks set to have a bounteous long-term future in oil, with production expected to increase by more than 120% by 2050.

It’s believed that the country has enough oil to last more than 180 years if it continues at its current rate of consumption.

I think Alberta is the only "have" province in Canada.
