The Prime Minister is not backing up soothing talk on pipelines & antisemitism by naming the cause or taking real action that would make a difference. @financialpost  https://t.co/kDZq4Rs5sJ

The Pathways carbon capture & storage boondoggle could cost taxpayers over $20 billion with no possibility of achieving its public policy objective to measurably reduce global GHG emissions. @financialpost https://t.co/BcWv6hcD8Z

[Joe Oliver @joeoliver1]

Stakeholder capitalism espoused by World Economic Forum & adopted by Mark Carney erodes democratic accountability & undermines economic growth. @financialpost https://t.co/TsBzYKvUEH

Borrowing money to create a sovereign wealth fund signals more dysfunctional government intrusion in the economy. Shades of both Karl and Groucho Marx! @financialpost https://t.co/Dp1NXpoyXz

A year after the election, the Prime Minister must address Canada’s systemic problems or lose public confidence.

Government infringement of civil liberties rarely happens without public support. @financialpost https://t.co/BVUnPlP43X

Playing to Davos & a domestic audience, Mark Carney recklessly provoked Donald Trump & jeopardized trading negotiations in a time of great peril. @financialpost https://t.co/YsijqGbFRa

[Joe Oliver @joeoliver1]

Mark Carney rejected the key policies & governance approach of his immediate predecessor from the same political party with a breadth, speed & remorselessness that has no parallel in Canadian history. @financialpost https://t.co/SQ199jrvTA

[Joe Oliver @joeoliver1]

President Trump’s spectacular extraction of narco-dictator Nicolás Maduro intensifies pressure on @CanadianPM to build pipelines to tidewater & diversify overseas markets for its oil.

The much praised Alberta/Ottawa MOU imposes costly & unachievable obligations on Alberta without removing impediments to energy projects, leaving Canada’s future energy dev. mired in uncertainty. @financialpost https://t.co/SFVdOQVpyI

[Joe Oliver @joeoliver1]

In today’s budget, PM Mark Carney will exploit failure to resolve the trade crisis with the US to justify massive public spending & government intrusion that will undermine economic growth & prosperity. @financialpost https://t.co/3amzPqa98P

[Joe Oliver @joeoliver1]

Albertans are patriotic Canadians but 2 flashpoints could create a fateful turning point: stymied oil & gas pipeline projects & judicial limitation on notwithstanding clause. @financialpost https://t.co/P2DvIe9jDq

I am deeply sorry about the sudden passing of Nigel Wright. He was an exceptionally bright, accomplished, insightful, warm and giving person who contributed greatly to Canada and the conservative movement. He will be widely missed.

[Joe Oliver @joeoliver1]

The long delayed federal budget will likely produce a deficit exceeding $80 billion. But will it address the challenges of a declining std of living, blocked resource dev, high youth unemployment, capital flight & unaffordable housing? @financialpost https://t.co/mLLVKgh4c4

[Joe Oliver @joeoliver1]

Mark Carney is enjoying honeymoon poll numbers, but storm clouds are gathering due to lack of progress on trade compared to other countries and a weakening economy, attributable  in large part to his policy choices. @financialpost https://t.co/fPV2syhVeb

[Joe Oliver @joeoliver1]

The key question for the Canadian economy is whether Mark Carney’s sudden enthusiasm for resource development reflects political expediency or a sincere intent to push projects forward. @financialpost https://t.co/shhfwm5CMY

[Joe Oliver @joeoliver1]

Mark Carney capitulated to @realDonaldTrump by withdrawing the digital services tax which is not in Canada’s national interest. Neither is supply management. Both will be major irritants in trade negotiations with the U.S. @financialpost https://t.co/r8Ha6EfWfe

[Joe Oliver @joeoliver1]

Canada’s government responded to Israel & US destruction of the genocidal terror state of Iran’s nuclear capacity with knee-jerk pearl-clutching and moral confusion. @FinancialPost https://t.co/2uLXXRy8bi

[Joe Oliver @joeoliver1]

Elite universities have alienated alumni, donors, politicians & the public by failing to respond meaningfully to legitimate concerns about civil rights violations, especially anti-semitism & a lack of viewpoint diversity.@nationalpost https://t.co/TZ2MUo4sWa
