@Arturmaks If you want to pony up $2k a ticket, yes there are other ways home. A lotta options are 20-30hrs of travel time. Otherwise, enjoy another week if you can.

@DanDicksPFT Same boat, supposed to leave Feb 23 - going home March 1 - I found earlier flights home, with WestJet out of Tepic - talked to an agent and they said there was no guarantee I would be reimbursed for earlier flights - was going to cost $7800 - fam of 4 one way - so waiting Mar 1

[Matt Stringer @mattstring7]

@shellsart1 @WestJet We called in yesterday and were told the earliest March 3 - I asked about multiple other departure points and got no where with the agent - booked online with @westjet out of Tepic on Saturday - now to fight for some credit to help pay for the flight

[Matt Stringer @mattstring7]

@WestJet Zero communication on booking alternatives to get home - people sitting around waiting for the promised email, they are missing out on alternatives that are filling up fast.

[Matt Stringer @mattstring7]

@DzynrRon @MollerRudolph @WestJet What a loser take. Expecting some communication out of WestJet is not unreasonable. Air Canada has had a much better response

We really need to stop pretending that Coastal First Nations is anything but an activist group started with money from American foundations committed to stopping Canada's natural resources sector.

Jason Kenney is disliked for any number of things but his defence of fossil fuel development for the the greater good and prosperity of Canada is most admirable

Watch Jason Kenney roast David Cochrane and get him stammering over the parade of anti-development first nations that CBC and other media regularly host

Kenney "You know David, I find it passing strange that the CBC in particular but also other media outlets so rarely seem to interview the pro development First Nations."

"They seem to get pushed out of the camera, so to speak."

"The majority of Western Canadian first nations support responsible resource development and this was tested on the Trans Mountain expansion."

"The Supreme Court of Canada upheld a finding of the trial court in B.C. on that that the duty to consult had been properly undertaken, the honor of the Crown was discharged and that of 119 proximate or interested indigenous communities in that project, that 110 of them either supported it or were neutral."

Cochrane "But but..."

Kenney "So I think I just encourage media to find balanced voices amongst Indigenous communities who are increasingly involved through equity participation and would be the single large winners in terms of investment but also employment in a major project of the well look, I take your point that there are."

Cochrane 'stammer, stammer and more stammer. But, but but' 🤡

BREAKING: A major Canadian energy company has blasted Carney in a new open letter. In the letter, Enbridge explicitly called out the "past decade of increasing policy complexity and uncertainty that led to delayed investments, lost opportunities and a competitive disadvantage on the global energy stage."

Carney promised big projects. He has delivered nothing.

That's why Conservatives will introduce the Canadian Sovereignty Act that will repeal Liberal anti-development laws that keep pipelines from being built in Canada, legalize and turbocharge the development and construction of Canadian energy, and make Canada the fastest place in the world to get a permit.

The Liberals and NDP are trying to gaslight Canadians into accepting that the $600 million taxpayer subsidy to BC Ferries (to purchase ships from a state-owned shipyard in China) is somehow justified because “there were no Canadian bids”.

Two things. 🧵

Energy is Life - Canada, be warned. Europe's energy policy is economic suicide.
Germany: Shut nukes for renewables is killing its industrial base.
U.K.: Committed to Net Zero - highest electricity prices.
Spain: Blackout due to a lack of 'Inertia' b/c of renewables.

Meanwhile, Asia has doubled down on coal.

The IMF has just released its April update of the World Economic Outlook - it includes revisions for various data.

Canada still has the worst Real GDP per capita (adj. for PPP), after Luxembourg.

[Marc Nixon @MarcNixon24]

Mark Carney says he wants Canada to be an energy super power. ONLY if it’s NET ZERO.

[Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith]

Less than 2 weeks ago @MarkJCarney told me in person that C-69 was a barrier to large national energy projects and needed to be dealt with. Now he says he has no intention to do anything with it.

Make no mistake. If this law stays there will be few if any large scale energy infrastructure projects built in this country and Alberta and Saskatchewan will be cut off from international markets.

This means Canada will become MORE vulnerable to and overly dependent on the United States.

Albertans will not tolerate this and neither will I. Hopefully this election results in a new Prime Minister that can be trusted to get rid of these terrible policies.

We must put CANADA FIRST.

That is why Common Sense Conservatives condemn President Trump’s massive, unjust and unjustified tariffs on Canada’s already weak economy. Canada is the United States’ closest neighbour, greatest ally and best friend. We share the longest undefended border and fought alongside Americans in two world wars, Korea and Afghanistan, where 158 of our brave men and women died helping the U.S. avenge the 9/11 attacks. There is no justification whatsoever for this treatment.    

The Liberals must put aside their partisan interests and recall Parliament now to pass a Canada First Plan that will: 

1. Retaliate with dollar-for-dollar tariffs carefully aimed at maximizing impact on American companies while minimizing impact on Canadian consumers. That means targeting U.S. products that we can make ourselves, buy elsewhere or do without. For example, we must retaliate against American steel and aluminium, as Canadians can make those vital products at home. 

2. Put all the tariff revenues into help for affected workers and businesses; Government should not keep a dime of the new revenue. 

3. Pass a massive emergency Bring It Home Tax Cut to bolster the economy, stop inflation and save and create jobs. Canada needs a massive tax cut on work, investment, energy, homebuilding and making stuff at home. The Liberal carbon tax and capital gains tax hikes must be the first on the chopping block.  

4. Immediately scrap the Liberal anti-resource law C-69 and greenlight LNG plans, pipelines, mines, factories, and port expansions to overseas markets.  

5. Bring in truly free trade within Canada by knocking down interprovincial barriers to help replace lost north-south trade with east-west trade and to make us self-reliant.

6. Rebuild our military and take back control of our borders to regain the confidence of our partners, assert our sovereignty, protect our people and put Canada First.   

We will protect our economy, defend our sovereignty, bring home production and paycheques and never back down. We will put Canada First—now and always.
