@TreeFarmerBC What do you think powers electric vehicles?

[David G @accfanto]

"mostly gas" is a pretty good thing. More likely to get to tidewater, not as vulnerable to replacement by renewables, a major source for rail-transportable liquids like propane, it has a better long-term outlook than oil.

[Razor Oil @RazorOil]

Good morning to all friends that know where the 🇨🇦 Canadian 170 Billion barrels of recoverable oil is located…and yes relatively almost no oil in BC, mostly gas…🫡🪒

@edwardrow Just prioritize extending the Crosstown and Line 6 to Pearson.

[David G @accfanto]

@bataille_chris Soundalike the Kremlin plans to expand the salt mining industry.

[David G @accfanto]

@bataille_chris Indeed.

[David G @accfanto]

@NoJetsTO An equally good ask would be for the feds to agree to prioritize and partly fund extending the Crosstown and possibly Line 6 to PEARSON - another positive ask that would happen to undermine Ford's BB wet dream.

@MAAWLAW This, like the 51st state thing, just won't go away even though it seems mainly a fever dream of the foreign state/region talking about it. I don't understand how an EU of 40 states could function when the 28-country version barely can.

@EScrimshaw Also, in the Carney era where the government is polling 50% of the electorate, she's clearly struggling to retain her relevance as a commentator.

[Evan Scrimshaw @EScrimshaw]

Althia is trying to defend a form of governance - call it Progressive Liberalism, Bleeding Heart Liberalism, whatever - and hold Carney to the standards of the Trudeau era

We can like (or, in my case, significantly dislike) that brand of politics but it’s well within her rights

[David G @accfanto]

@Charles_Benoit The aluminum tariff just gets woolier and woolier.

[David G @accfanto]

@chrisglover @NoJetsTO What support? You have an interesting way with words. “An interesting idea” is hardly full throated support, but was always an evasion to me. In politics, you sometimes use weasel words to avoid taking a definitive stand. The Feds want this idea to die a natural death.

[David G @accfanto]

@frag123456 @CTVIanWhite Can’t agree with that at all. Get CTV and HBO plus original series in both English and French. HBO alone kills

[David G @accfanto]

@CanadianPolling Only 56% of Quebecers would definitely remain? Any significant exodus would be cataclysmic economically.

[David G @accfanto]

@RickAnderson This feels like a columnist trying to retain relevance. The only time Liberals are antsy is when they are 20 points down in the polls, not up 15 points.

[David G @accfanto]

@OrbitStudios @prairiecentrist @MikeBanton64910 That’s why I suspect Raj continues to embellish to retain her own relevance.

[David G @accfanto]

@stphnmaher I suspect Althia is searching for relevance. A party achieving record poll support is quite obedient

[David G @accfanto]

@rupasubramanya Given the polls, I wonder if this is the columnist trying to take modest sentiment and trying to portray it as an uprising. When a party has 50% of the electorate supporting it, I can't imagine backbenchers being rebels with a cause,

[David G @accfanto]

@dmacpher Too bad Gordie isn’t around to grab Trump by the wrist and demand he open the damn bridge.

[David G @accfanto]

@LauraBabcock If aluminum fits into North American supply chains, how can this doufus support putting a 50% tariff on it?

[David G @accfanto]

@TheTorontoSun So an export industry is created. Are you trying to speak on behalf of the US baby formula oligopoly? This Royal Milk baby formula also is sold to Canadians under the Niuriss brand. You can order it online or buy it at some stores.
