@SearleTurton @DianaBatten_ @ABDanielleSmith , is this how you support the families that helped bring permanency to children in care? By reneging on agreements to provide ongoing supports? We give up skill fees to provide permanency and now you come for the rest?

@CalgaryDave Funny, I have a freezer full of a 1/2 beef from a farms right here in AB…

@SKivimaa Didn’t the premier of the next province over kill somebody while driving and also (independently) get busted for impaired driving?

TMX is often used as proof that Ottawa blocked Alberta. The record shows the opposite. Ottawa approved TMX in 2016. Private capital stepped back in 2018, well after federal approval was already in place.

Canada then bought the project, organized delivery through Trans Mountain Corporation, carried the risk, addressed the legal and consultation delays, corrected the process failures, and delivered Alberta’s pipeline to tidewater.

It did so after the 2014 oil-price collapse, in a lower-price era, as climate risk and competing energy technologies became more central to investment decisions.

Canada did not block Alberta’s pipeline to tidewater.

Canada delivered it.

@macrurdn @PaulStewartII “Allowed” is a strong word, when most media is owned by US controlled conservative leaning companies…

@t019943 @PaulStewartII Harper gutting the regulations that (while onerous) ensured that approved projects met the burdens imposed by our pesky constitution. The goalposts that the Liberals “moved” for TMX were attempts to get regulations back in line with law.

@Bratt_world @JasonOnTheDrums Nope. I knew what I signed when I signed the Forever Canadian petition, I was looking forward to the UCP trying to weasel their way out of having to debate “Forever Canadian” on the legislature floor…

@InvestorNose @gilmcgowan Funny, when the proponent actually worked with impacted parties, and showed that they did their due diligence, the work was approved by the courts… Almost like there is a difference between going through the motions and ACTUALLY consulting with impacted parties…

[Daniel Legge @danilegg]

@InvestorNose @gilmcgowan Projects approved by the Regulator, but defeated in federal court due to lack of clarity on duty to consult. Trudeau killed NG and worked with TMX to amend their application, which still got hung up in court before eventually getting approved.

[Daniel Legge @danilegg]

@InvestorNose @gilmcgowan Guess who gutted the regulations that led to Northern Gateway, Energy East and TMX all getting hamstrung in court?

That would be Harper.

Trudeau had to try and help navigate the gap between policy and constitutional requirements in order to get TMX through the courts…

@TrondFrantzen UAE owns the companies that produce the oil, so the earnings all stay in the country…

Sorry ,Pierre, but I was there during the Harper years in Ottawa, and you were not part of the inner circle of power. You had little incidence on what Harper and his close team decided. You were, however, always in search of the media spotlight and you were asking journalists-myself included- to be quoted in their report.

You spoke French very well and I, working for French TV (TVA Nouvelles), was always happy to find bilingual politicians. I would have used a clip of you in my reports but what you said always stopped me. Even then, you were all about personal attacks and superficial comments. You never discussed /analyzed THE POLICY, always the party.
Ad Hominem rather than Ad Rem.
And those politicians ( from all parties ) I tended to exclude in favour of those who examined the substance.

" No fighting with the other party " in my reports was my motto. Explaining factually why you are against x or y decision, yes. But otherwise, it's just empty political attacks and the citizens of Canada deserve better.
You haven't changed, Pierre, despite the responsibilities that are now upon your shoulders. @PierrePoilievre #cdnpoli @PolQC

Make your own conclusions from this information.

@Pear78tv @Adordev_ @Simon_Ingari Yep. Small amount to walk away from for peace of mind.

[Daniel Legge @danilegg]

@Pear78tv @Adordev_ @Simon_Ingari AH. I see what you’re doing. I was considering the difference in gross salaries:
