🇨🇦🛢️🏭 : BC Premier David Eby says he is open to building a refinery in British Columbia to cut off imports of oil & gas from the USA.

He announced this after being asked if he would lift the tanker ban across the Northern BC Coast.

Eby says the TMX expansion is not being utilized at capacity and thus he sees no need for a new taxpayer funded pipeline.

David also says there is no offer from the private sector to build a pipeline.

Enbridge wanted to build the Northern Gateway pipeline 10 years ago. We also had a private offer to build a multi billion $ refinery in Kitimat.

Both projects were cancelled because Justin Trudeau & David Eby made it impossible for private investors.

In the case of the Northern Gateway pipeline, Justin Trudeau cancelled it in 2016 despite that line having First Nation consent & billions in equity shares in the line. Something I have posted about repeatedly, including a few days ago.

Enbridge also spent $1 billion on consultations and environmental impact assessments, only to have the new Liberal government ax the project anyways.

Once the BC NDP came to power, they made it next to impossible for a refinery project to be built by ensuring the process would cost far too much, while having too much uncertainty, to be viable.

We lost a decade of prosperity because of Justin Trudeau's Liberals & the BC NDP pushing their self serving agendas. Only to now watch David Eby backtrack 10 years later.

This should infuriate everyone. We could have had that refinery built by now and be domestically benefitting from & exporting premium jet fuel, gasoline, diesel & various types of crude.

The reality is, David Eby is a failure & should be stepping down so a competent government can take over.

@CastCanary He will be a fan favourite real quick. This is a huge loss for us. His potential is sky high. Great pick up for you. He can be a difference maker. He is a play driver for sure.

@Emily_Lowan I’m born and raised in BC. I fully support this pipeline. The First Nations are only interested in money and compensation. They do not have any morale standing whatsoever. They will always accept monetary compensation to compromise their so called beliefs.

Canadians should pay attention to this.

What you are actually doing here is to bribe nokia to put these jobs into Canada by paying hundreds of thousands of dollars per job from taxpayer money. What this does is to lower the cost basis of nokia per employee. This has been going on for decades, called FDI which all civil servants think is a good thing. I spent a lot of time explaining to civil servants in ottawa that its not good for our economy that American and Oversees branch offices can employ Canadians at half the cost to all the canadian companies around them due to these subsidies. We should not do them at all, they are toxic, at least in the tech sector.

It's never meat to be this way, but the situation that very often arises is: It's strictly worse inside of Canada to be a Canadian company compared to a company headquartered everywhere else.

This is a bad situation, because the fruits of the subsidized labor will accrue to the wealth of other countries and not Canada. It's tax payer money invested into locking up scarce high tech talent in jobs where they no longer contribute to the Canadian economy directly. Why

@Dave_Eby You haven’t delivered on anything other than record deficit. Pack it in already.

@ronmortgageguy Wild. Still happy with my fixed considering Nov 2020 to now.

[Steve French @CanuckColours]

@ronmortgageguy Did Variable ever drop below 1.5x% because that’s my 5yr fixed. It comes due in a few months. Thinking 3 year fixed is the right move, but will decide when the time comes. Too much movement today.

@KatKanada_TM Actual logic and common sense.

Neither 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 are saying what the drug-border conflict is about out loud, so I guess I’ll do it.

This is about 🇨🇦’s trucking industry & Ontario’s truck driving schools that popped up overnight.

@SemperVeritasX @CBCNews @grok can you translate this into English? lol

@BowinnMa @rparmar_BC How are students priortized to getting a seat? Surely this still isn’t enough. Do Canadian citizens get first priority and newcomers are lower? I’d like to see Canadians come first for a change.

@JonFlynnREstats @grok what do regions in this chart have in common? Include demographic information.

[Steve French @CanuckColours]

@grok @Blas_xp @PostPositiveX @EndWokeness America is not a continent. North America is a continent. So is South America. Americans refers to citizens of the United States of America. Do not refer to Citizens of Canada as Americans. Do not refer to citizens of Mexico as Americans. We do not want to be associated w/ USA

@JFreshHockey That’s a funny idea, in that it’ll be a list of names that is made up of everyone asking “who?????”
