This is Mervin Raudabaugh, an American farmer who turned down $15M to build a data center on his land. Instead, he sold it for $2M to a farmland trust to protect it as agricultural land forever.
Again for those in the back, Elon once offered to cut a check for $6 BILLION to the WFB to "eliminate World hunger" as they said the money could. His one condition was that the accounting was public.
They did not accept.
Flying around the world and talking shit about the Americans while pretending we're going to replace them with China or Europe is pretty much the dumbest trade strategy I've ever seen from a developed economy.
"I have heard some proponents of the carbon tax defend it by suggesting that the world will require decarbonized oil barrels going forward. To be honest, Cenovus places over one million barrels a day across three continents, and none of our customers have ever suggested or even asked about the carbon intensity of Canadian crudes.
If customers were willing to pay for decarbonized barrels, we would certainly see these price signals and not require government interference.
The carbon tax escalates through time, making our industry less resilient at lower commodity prices, and will require the premature shut-in and reclamation of oil producing projects that would otherwise be economic to produce.
Much of this is being orchestrated in the belief that we can build a functioning carbon market. The reality is that carbon markets are a political construct and there are no examples of functioning, enduring, or investible carbon markets to draw from." /5
Mark Carney finds millions for projects like “gender-just rice farming in Vietnam” but closes agricultural research centres like the Indian Head Research Farm.
This out-of-touch mismanagement strips Canadian farmers of vital tools they need to grow affordable food for your table.
Only Conservatives are standing up common sense.
Watch this.
Blaming the previous government for weak economic growth would be more compelling if Mr. Carney wasn't also the Chair of the Liberals' Task Force on Economic Growth under the previous government. #cdnpoli
So I can't take an AR-15 to the range, and you can't buy a pistol, but these guys can blast off rounds illegally and cruise around with handguns in Rubbermaid containers.
Alright, ok, cool cool cool.
Just a month ago our Minister of Finance Philippe Champagne stood in the HOC & told Canadians how great our economy is.
Fast forward a month & the reality is our GDP has completely stalled & we are in a recession.
These individuals are lying to Canadians.
Damn, bro.
Randomly going back to the mic on an unrelated question to also say, "gun owners, protect your guns. Simple as that. Don’t ever give them away," while standing like three feet from one of the Liberal cabinet's gun ban champions?
You gotta love it.
I know this is hard to believe, but Canada used to open mines without it being such a rare and jaw-dropping accomplishment that it was generating boastful press releases from the prime minister's office.
The Grand Ransom™️has now been signed: a reduced & deferred carbon tax to $140/t by 2040, and the promise of a new pipeline that "is tied to Pathways", a $30BN project that is irrelevant and enormously expensive. No other country in the world is doing this to themselves, just 🇨🇦.
Sell your Canadian oil stocks and buy American ones. Really hurts me to say this, but it’s time to move on. No capital is coming into the country to build this pipe dream.
“Give them a massive amount of oil, agricultural land, copper, freshwater, and every natural resource in the world. Now make them neighbors with the biggest market in the world. Great, now have them leave the resources in the ground and instead flip condos to each other”.
