@LyftLady11 @megbasham @CharlesMBlow Perhaps you can point out where he contradicted himself. He made no public appearances and his written statements never varied

@sglockett @MaximumK75753 @nettermike Readcthe article.. they fought it in court and won. The county ignored the court, added the amount without adding it to the bill, and seized it for back taxes.

I think Alan need to be reminded of the most recent Leger polling on the issue.

55% of Canadians want the government to focus on illegal gun smuggling. Only 26% supported the gun ban.

People keep rewriting TMX history as if Kinder Morgan simply “got greedy” or Ottawa heroically saved a perfectly functional project.

That is not what happened.

Kinder Morgan suspended non-essential spending in April 2018 because the project had become a legal, regulatory, political, and financial minefield.

Kinder Morgan explicitly stated the problem was ongoing BC opposition, uncertainty around the ability to build through BC, and unacceptable risk to shareholders:

BC was actively fighting the pipeline politically and legally:

At the same time, multiple First Nations and environmental groups launched court challenges against the approval process:

Then came the massive legal setback in 2018.

The Federal Court of Appeal quashed the federal approval entirely in Tsleil-Waututh Nation v Canada because:
- marine shipping impacts were improperly excluded from the review
- Indigenous consultation was legally inadequate

Court decision:

That forced the federal government to restart major portions of the approval and consultation process.

Meanwhile, the Liberals were also changing Canada’s broader regulatory framework.

Bill C-69 replaced the old NEB regime with the Impact Assessment Act, creating broader federal review powers involving:
- climate impacts
- social impacts
- expanded consultation
- wider ministerial discretion
- broader project assessment triggers

Legislation:

The Supreme Court of Canada later ruled major parts of the Impact Assessment Act were unconstitutional because Ottawa exceeded federal jurisdiction:

Legal analysis:

So yes:
- Ottawa eventually bought TMX
- Ottawa carried the financial risk
- Ottawa ultimately completed the pipeline

But pretending the investment environment was not a regulatory and legal disaster is revisionist history.

No rational private company wants to invest tens of billions into a project where:
- approvals can be overturned years later
- consultation standards keep evolving
- provinces openly fight the project
- litigation reaches the Supreme Court
- federal rules keep changing midstream
- and political risk becomes impossible to price

That is why private capital stepped back and Ottawa had to nationalize the risk to get TMX built.

That is the actual history.

@TrailerTal84676 @PierrePoilievre @LarryBrockMP Supposing this is true, which is inlikely, you have to be a complete and utter fucking doorknob to try and conflate it with the DRIPA controversy. You must be the go to asshole when you want irrellevancey

[Don Wagner @donw102]

@UpYoursSchapiro @Not_the_Bee So why did the State ask them to intervene? On a related question, they didnt intervene so what are you going on about?

@Shouldnotbeonx Since the NDP insist they be included with all the sexual identities dipshit

[Don Wagner @donw102]

@Shouldnotbeonx @nationalpost Just because I want to identify as a dead person? Why is that not ok when anyone who wants to can identify as any other initial on the list.

[Don Wagner @donw102]

@Shouldnotbeonx @nationalpost According to Leah Gazan of the NDP, MMIW should be added to creat the following initialism , MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+

[Don Wagner @donw102]

@Shouldnotbeonx @nationalpost If someone applies as a MMIW will they be hired?

@shipwreckedcrew Shed any excess weight you can beforehand and get plenty of excercise (which in your case should be no problem) take your painkillers on schedule and don't wait for the pain to get excruciating. 6 weeks after mine I walk unaided, no limp no pain. Good luck!
