Quote from: crazy canuck on July 03, 2026, 10:30:30 AMLooks 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.

QuoteHours 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  :showoff:  :P

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.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

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

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. :P

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

Now let's get a pipeline east to Hudson Bay. Plus some ice breakers.

You wanted Korea?

Yes. Not on the base of them being better submarines but Korea has an integrated defense manufacturing system and their tanks and drones are what we need.

I am going to post about this in the EU integration thread as I think that is the main reason for selecting Germany

Germany is ramping up their defense investment so this is probably a sensible move.
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

QuoteAs democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
