[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

[viper37]

Looks like the southern route is a go at the political level. The Americans can be thanked for creating the urgency to reduce our dependence on them.

Hours before Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith Thursday evening to announce details of their push for a new pipeline, he stood beside B.C. Premier David Eby in Vancouver to roll out nearly $20-billion in federal commitments to the province.

These projects will "catalyze" more than $200-billion in new investments that will help Canada double its non-U.S. exports over the next decade, Mr. Carney said.

And it looks like the pipeline is going to be publicly owned.  So, it's coming up roses.

Alberta sure love wellfare when they are recipient.

Don't worry, once it's up and running they'll sell it to a private company on the cheap and eat the loss. Conservatism

I don't think so, as much as I'm sure the Alberta provincial government would like to do that, from what I've read this is a federal undertaking.

Fair enough. But maybe a conservative federal government would sell it

Former B.C. Conservative turned Independent MLA Amelia Boultbee crosses the floor to the NDP

Ok, she got me.

From Conservative to NDP.

I guess BC provincial politics are a different beast.

[crazy canuck]

Out here, it's not uncommon or NDP and conservative votes to go to either party depending on the issues an election

But you're right I never thought I see a conservative MLA cross the floor to the NDP
