Tamara Lich’s sentence ends in January 2027, but the Crown is forcing the entire case back to the Court of Appeal — still demanding 7 years in prison for Lich and 8 years for Chris Barber.
The Justice Centre has funded lawyers to defend Mr. Barber since 2022.
Ontario taxpayers have already spent roughly $15 million on this prolonged prosecution.
This is what political lawfare looks like.
Morning @ElectionsAB
I'll make this real easy for you
I saw Forever Canada was a registered TPA on June 19th initially. Then someone changed it to June 8th afterwards on your website
Here is their own social media showing they were operating before June 8th as an illegal TPA
📢NEWS RELEASE:
Governments are blocking pipelines with carbon taxes & red tape & then wasting taxpayers’ money trying to get projects built
It’s unsustainable for taxpayers to keep subsidizing projects because governments are in the way
Huge cost to taxpayers + interest
https://t.co/YZSpwYJ6Dc
@EvanLSolomon So really this means the economic and social spending of your federal @liberal_party govt formerly under @JustinTrudeau and now under his economic advisor and now PM @MarkJCarney is an abject FAILURE.
Jon Mckenzie Cenovus CEO: "Canada is the only country in the 10 largest [oil and gas] producers globally that has a carbon tax. It doesn't incent us to decarbonize it is solely a cost of doing business." And pushing business OUT of Canada. https://t.co/Ee5fGkFDn8 WATCH Stand on Guard for receipts
The Old Carney Con: Profiting off the Pipeline Process | Stand on Guard
Bailouts & subsidies are the twin hallmarks of the @liberal_party gov that has got the CDN economy on life support & is racking up debt at a record pace.
BREAKING: The CEO of Farm Credit Canada billed $182,297 in expenses last year—nearly 4 times more than her predecessor, according Blacklock's Reporter.
Records obtained through Access to Information show:
➡️Business-class flights to Europe and Asia
➡️Luxury hotels
➡️Filet Mignon dinners
➡️A $543 Uber from Edmonton to Calgary
Meanwhile, employees were told to "tighten the belt" and reduce travel expenses. Over her first three years as CEO, expenses reportedly exceeded $422,700.
The optics will raise serious questions about accountability at one of Canada's most important Crown corporations serving agriculture.
I remember the bad Remembrance day turnout.
THIS is far worse. And from a drill team at that.
How can an Senior NCO accept this at a public event.
ZERO Pride
ZERO Precision
ZERO Practice
It's like they're fresh out of BMQ. But then again, BMQ grads would have better drill than this. This is embarrassing.
So Mark Carney just signed an MOU with British Colombia that keeps a tanker ban in place on the west coast after sighing an MOU with Alberta to build a pipeline to the west coast.
WTF?
Congratulations Alberta, you just bought yourselves a TransMountain-like pipeline.
If all goes well it will be operational by 2035, and will only cost $50 billion in taxpayer money.... money we don't have.
Let's run some very simple economics.
It will transport 1 million barrels per day, at a fee of $10/barrel. That means it will generate $10,000,000/day in revenue, which is $3.65 billion/year. But it will cost at least $1 billion/year to operate (power, labour, chemicals, maintenance, interest on the borrowed money, carbon tax, etc).
So the initial payout is $50 B divided by $2.65 B/yr. which is 18.8 years. Who wants to wait almost 20 years before they get a return on their investment?
The economics don't work because the regulations make the pipeline too expensive and risky. There was a time, lest than 15 years ago, when the private sector could have built this for $10 billion.
This is not a win. The real problems aren't being addressed, and this is making things worse.
The Liberals have spent 4 years trash talking Trump. Belittling him. Name calling him. Disrespecting him at almost every turn.
They DID NOT expect him to get back in the Big Man's Chair.
So tell me, did they honestly think he would come back and play nice? Who in their right mind would after being a target for so long?
I think the results of the trade war would be vastly different had the Canadian Govt at least been cordial and neutral towards DJT.
Rewriting CDN history has been going on for a very long time. From turning Riel into a hero, MacDonald into a tyrant, CDN WWII bomber crews into murderers to pulling down statues & renaming schools to eliminating our first PM from our currency.
Every country that exists has its good, bad & ugly history, but only the weakest ones, try & eliminate the flaws instead of focusing on the progress.
Canada's emissions were never the problem.
And anyone who actually cared about reducing global GHG emissions should've been the greatest champions of 🇨🇦 energy displacing dirty coal, but they weren't because it's never been about facts or emissions — it was about ideology.
Already seeing plenty of Liberal supporters celebrating the non renewal of CUSMA.
Not known for their intellect, these Liberals don’t understand what 10 years of trade uncertainty can do Canada’s ability to attract foreign investment or the negative impact it will have on the Canadian dollar.
How stupidly do you have to be to celebrate economic uncertainty?
@CoryBMorgan@AllenGramlich I'm old enough to remember when the market drove pipelines, etc & the proponent prepared a need statement, budget, etc then presented to the regulatory agency for approval.
What happened? #sarcasm
