  1. I have an answer. Build pipelines to both oceans.
  2. Gee I wonder maybe it's people like you that stand in the way of Canada's prosperity by opposing increased production ideas.
  3. I'm not a denier I knew all along Trudeau and the liberal government were full of lies. It's unfortunate it took you so long to figure that out.
  4. Oh no I'm not. But you didn't answer my question.
  5. But you constantly praise Trudeau. Are you hitting the alcohol again tonight?
  6. New pipeline?? Wtf did you forget we live in Canada?
  7. Meanwhile there is a pipeline capacity issue..
  8. Salmon Arm, eh? Labamba is from Salmon Arm..
  9. Salmon Arm is beautiful, obviously it's no Surrey though. Right @kingofsurrey
  10. Fine, let's talk about him. How did he feel about BC?
  11. What has Trudeau’s Infrastructure Bank achieved? A recycled loan and millions in expenses It was during the 2015 election campaign that we first heard Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan to create the Canada Infrastructure Bank. Three years later, the $35-billion bank is still struggling to find its footing and many Canadians are asking themselves what the purpose of this bank is, if it even has one. According to its website, the Infrastructure Bank will use federal money to “attract private sector and institutional investment to new revenue-generating infrastructure projects that are in the public interest.” While the Crown corporation boasts that it will help with infrastructure projects that otherwise wouldn’t be built, it will essentially use public money to underwrite loans to protect private investors from losses while putting all the risk on taxpayers. In the past year, the Infrastructure Bank has requested more than $11 million from the $35 billion to cover salaries, legal services, travel, expenses for its board of directors and other capital costs. That’s $11 million in spending, all before the bank had even announced its first project. In August 2018, the Canada Infrastructure Bank announced it would be loaning $1.28 billion to an electric rail system for Montreal at an unusually low interest rate — one per cent, rising to three per cent over the 15-year term. If that project sounds familiar it’s because, more than a year earlier, the prime minister was in Montreal in June 2017 to announce the same amount of federal funding for the same project. So, the Infrastructure Bank’s first project was a re-announcement of funding that had already been committed. The funding was simply re-classified under the bank amid frustrations around growing federal infrastructure delays that put pressure on the bank to announce its first project. https://business.financialpost.com/opinion/what-has-trudeaus-infrastructure-bank-achieved-a-recycled-loan-and-millions-in-expenses
  12. I'm as pro pipeline as they come but that is a slippery slope you're suggesting. Sure under this circumstance it would benefit those of us in favour of the pipeline but I certainly don't support taking away power to the provinces, actually I support giving more power to the provinces.
  13. Partner? Lol Albertans prop up many BC communities and we also covered the 10$ a day daycare in Quebec. What the hell has BC done for Its Canadian "partners." Oh ya that's right nothing they actually hurt their partners when their unelected government opposed a pipeline that would help all Canadians.
  14. Alberta doesn't own the pipeline. Should KM have done a better job? Sure and yes the feds should have done a better job once they bought this. But we don't need a tax. We will get through this and unlike BC and the rest of Canada we won't be taxed to death. Your government added 4 billion in debt in it's first budget and you have pst, msp, tolls, carbon tax, etc so do you want another tax so you guys don't have to keep going in debt?
  15. What the hell are you talking about? If we had a pipeline to the ocean we would get more then 12$ a barrel. This also doesn't just hurt Alberta it also hurts Ottawa which means it hurts all of Canada. Omg get lost with your wanting more taxes.
  16. What do you not understand about pipeline capacity?
  17. Lol only in Canada. We touch 3 oceans and are blessed with massive amounts of oil.
