@wyld1_steveh @AGSwoboda @bekindbecalm2 @dinnerwithjulie You do realize you are asking for sources for the other persons numbers while throwing out "40%" without any attribution.
@mtracey Given the recent work, it looks like having exercised political power in the legislature, they then protested the decision of an independent branch they have no power over. Your point is only partially true in some cases, and not at all in this one.

An ironic remark conveys a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning. So, in an ironic statement one thing is said, while another thing is meant. Apparently one needs to explain this when posting, because a surprising number of people don't seem to get it.
@LanceNadeau3 In 2018 alone there was 3.2 billion in direct funding, 13 billion in subsidy, including loan guarantees and direct Gov't "loans". EDC supports oil to the tune of 13 billion a year. It's much much more than "tax advantage"

@LanceNadeau3 They've spent a billion over 7 years on "climate" they've also spent at least 31.5 billion subsidizing oil. The priority is pretty clear.

@broxsterman@maxfawcett @CandiceBergenMP Sometimes, you have to react quickly to emergencies. That means quick, prone to error and sloppy . You clean up the mess from the water after the fire is out.
@jjhorgan Do you want more money? Yes you do. Every time. Every conference. Every provincial meeting can be summed up-"Ottawa should give us more money" Do something constructive for once.
@Torysocialist @Sean__Last "The data are most consistent with the notion that receiving some but not enough money made the participants needs and the gap between resources and need more salient, which in turn generated feelings of distress" - Study authors.
@Torysocialist I think "US style Republicanism" is actually a pretty clear insult/accusation. You may disagree with it, but most people in Canada know what it means.
@Torysocialist @AndrewScheidl There is an existing structure of militia regiments surviving at a bare subsistence level of 26,000 that could be ramped up to a 100,000 or so -relatively- easily over 10 years. Just needs the will to do it-which no party seems to have- and several billion dollars.
@Torysocialist @sami_baaj Except social democrats and communists don't generally vote in a bloc on each others issues and western conservatives do. Does it really make a difference if they are all in the same Party?
