"Alberta has every right to decline a request to assist with the implementation of the buyback program. The feds devised this idea and they are the ones who are obligated to figure out the logistics. It’s not Alberta’s problem to solve."

@redsnoopy69 The Koch Brothers are enemies to Canadian oil & gas. The CPC is NOT for the Koch Brothers.

“We get in our own way,” he said, then listed a few problems: “A political quagmire that requires a crisis to make decisions”; “layers of regulation”; “permit & consultation that take ages to complete”; “Canada is one of the most highly taxed economies.."

should be paying off any day now.

[David R. Robinson @CalgaryRugbyDad]

@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen 100% agree.

[David R. Robinson @CalgaryRugbyDad]

@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen So, if NG was never going to happen, why did Trudeau need C48? And why just in northern BC, and not elsewhere in Canada?

[Greg McLean @GregMcLeanYYC]

Parliament will vote on Conservative motion today:
"That, given the cost of govt is driving up inflation, making the price of goods Cdns buy & the interest they pay unaffordable, this House call on the govt to commit to no new taxes on gas, groceries, home heating & pay cheques."

[David R. Robinson @CalgaryRugbyDad]

@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen I am talking hypotheticals if we hadn’t had Trudeau and so did not have C48. It could have been very different. Partnering with FNs would have been key.

[David R. Robinson @CalgaryRugbyDad]

@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen Max, why do you keep trying to put words in my mouth which I never said? This is a waste of time. Ciao.

[David R. Robinson @CalgaryRugbyDad]

@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen Nobody is saying it will be easy. But with C48, it became impossible. Good thing Poilievre would repeal C48 if the Conservatives win.

[David R. Robinson @CalgaryRugbyDad]

@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen I am not saying anything about ignoring the legal terrain. We need to be working with Indigenous and other key groups to be able to get our much-needed oil and LNG to key foreign markets such as in Asia.

[David R. Robinson @CalgaryRugbyDad]

@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen EE just to make the point that politics very much factors in Canada. As to NG, I am talking about the economic rationale, and the impact on global markets; it would have actually been better than TMX.

[David R. Robinson @CalgaryRugbyDad]

@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen Now do Northern Gateway, and Energy East. I say this knowing NG was possible, and EE wasn’t (because of Quebec).

@bal4_rednirus @sylviajh14 @jkenney @narendramodi It makes no sense to have the LNG facilities in Alberta. They should all be on the coast, in BC, with the nat gas coming from BC, AB, and SK.

[David R. Robinson @CalgaryRugbyDad]

@bal4_rednirus @mssbriss @jkenney @narendramodi It wasn’t that. It was greed. Christy Clark made the terms too tough, and so the capital went elsewhere. The unreliable regulatory environment didn’t help, along with indigenous issues.

[David R. Robinson @CalgaryRugbyDad]

@bal4_rednirus @mssbriss @jkenney @narendramodi Yup, but at least Harper didn’t go out of his way to kill pipelines (which is what Trudeau has done). And where LNG is concerned, Christy Clark is the reason we don’t have much more going forward in BC.

[David R. Robinson @CalgaryRugbyDad]

@bal4_rednirus @jkenney @narendramodi It could have been so much more, and it is many years behind.
