So projects in the best interest of all Canadians can be politically bounced around for better part of 7 years while a corrupt company skates?    Curious the way things work in my country of birth.    Sorry, not going to convince me that the massive waste of opportunity cost with this pipeline will ever be justified in a manner that outweighs the lost benefit to the Canadian society as a whole.   We can agree to disagree on that one.   Cheers.   :)

I don't think you realize who you're talking to or the fact I was pointing out how ridiculous things are but ya, agree to disagree.

all of that is speculation. 

To be fair only time will tell how the bill is. This case doesn't justify the bill the way you're making it out to be.

I've just been talking about the duty to consult part. On that, things look very good. I have no doubt that the 4 first nations will try to appeal it, but the SCoC won't hear it, there's no grounds for them to.

Climate change is a concern for everybody.  But it can't occur overnight. 

 

Trudeau's approach of using the $$ off oil to fund green alternatives is the best way.  Once those green technologies are viable and profitable, then perhaps we can see a reduction in our Carbon footprint. 

 

Lesser dependence on oil will not happen in my lifetime nor my children.  But perhaps the generation after that we can see the fruits of our labor.

Too late.  Climate change and damage to our environment will be permanent by then......

 

Sorry but we need to change the way we live now. 

 

KEEP the dirty BITUMENT in the ground where it belongs......

Canada has a LONG history of genocide of our first nations...  Great to see us continuing on with this wonderful tradition. 

 

Reconciliation - my a.........s .   Its all BS.  Empty words and empty promises.......

Broken Alberta...  Was all of this heading to the Chestermere  lake area.....

 

 

A Calgary man is facing charges after more than $10 million in cocaine and meth was seized from a vehicle in southern Alberta last week.

 

According to the Calgary Police Service, the drug bust was a result of an investigation launched in November 2019 into a Calgarian thought to be involved in drug trafficking throughout Canada.

 

According to a news release, officers stopped the suspect on Thursday, Jan. 30 while he was driving near Dorothy, Alta. — about an hour and a half east of Calgary.

 

The suspect was taken into custody and police said a search of the vehicle revealed 46.9 kilograms of cocaine in uncut bricks and 47.5 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine.

The estimated street value of the drugs, according to police, is $4.69 million for the cocaine and $4.75 million for the meth.

so you mean the SNC case where the guy was convicted? 

 

we actually do have an independent court system, despite the cartoons. 

Nope, I didn't mean that but good to hear about one guy.    Kudos!

How do scientists know this is the highest ever, when we’ve only been recording temperatures for a couple hundred years? 

Alf, It says "WARMEST TEMPERATURE EVER RECORDED".

The post says highest ever recorded, not highest ever.  Meaning that of all the recorded temperature readings, this was the highest.

it's just his classic village idiot trolling, ignore it.

Sorry, it's still going to happen. Even if you don't use it to run your car, you still need it for chemicals and stuff.
