Trudeau shoots down accusations of lying about oilsands at Calgary town hall

CALGARY—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau launched an impassioned defence for balancing the environment and economy at a raucous town hall in the heart of oil country Tuesday.

A man wearing a shirt with “I Love Oil Sands” written on it and a hat emblazoned with U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan took Trudeau to task for earlier oilsands comments.

At a town hall in Ontario earlier this month, Trudeau was criticized for saying the oilsands would need to be phased out eventually. At the close of a Calgary cabinet retreat earlier Tuesday, he said he misspoke.

The questioner at Tuesday night’s gathering accused the prime minister of making inconsistent statements depending on whether he was in eastern or western Canada.

“You’re in Alberta right now, sir. You’re not in Ottawa,” the man shouted. “Yet when you come to Calgary, you tell people you’re sorry.

The man asked Trudeau whether he would take back the remark, prompting cheers from some in the crowd of more than 1,700.

Trudeau replied that he has been consistent in his oilsands message.

“I have repeatedly said that yes, the responsibility of any Canadian prime minister is to get our resources to market and yes, that includes our oilsands fossil fuels,” he said.

“I’ve also said that we need to do that in a responsible, sustainable way — that you cannot separate what’s good for the environment and what’s good for the economy.”

Trudeau said even former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper recognized the world would have to get off fossil fuels eventually.

He asked the crowd of mostly students to put up their hands if they think climate change is real and virtually everyone did.

A few other questions at the town hall touched on the economic pain Alberta has been going through in recent years as a result of low oil prices.

The unemployment rate in Alberta, where the economy largely centres on the oil and gas sector, was at 8.5 per cent in December, higher than the national rate of 6.9 per cent. Tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs over the past few years.

Did you find that witty response on the rebler......?


Trudeau has approved two pipelines pis sing off those that oppose them and has said he would approve the Keystone if it comes about.

Not sure what the no brainer in Alberta was yapping about as Harper did say the same thing.....

Though Harper was a vocal champion of Canadian energy and a fierce advocate for pipeline projects, he also joined with other G7 leaders in 2015 to commit to the full phase out of fossil fuels by the year 2100.

Harper said at the time that such a shift would require technological “transformations” in Canada’s energy sector over the long term to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

“I don’t think we should fool ourselves. Nobody’s going to start to shut down their industries or turn off the lights,” he said. “We’ve simply got to find a way to create lower-carbon emitting sources of energy, and that work is ongoing.”

Carbon taxes to discourage oil consumption and make its production more expensive
Confused? You bet! Penalize oil production and consumption as the best path to producing more of it. Purchase that so-called “social license to operate” then get that big rig back on the road and punch the pedal to the metal. If you find this solution fundamentally incomprehensible you are not alone. There are those on both extremes who figure it is flawed if not fraudulent.

I don't read either the Toronto Star or the Rebel (aside from what may be time to time linked on here). But I do find it funny that the same people that shoot down the Rebel as the source, are the first to complain when the equally but oppositely biased Toronto Star is shot down as a source. But double standards are rampant these days.

PM's use of jet for family vacation emitted as much CO2 as average Canadian per year

Virtually all of the crude oil used in refineries west of Sarnia comes from Canada. Because of the vast distances involved, costs, complexities and environment issues in running pipelines across this country, crude oil used in the eastern refineries comes from offshore, a limited amount from Canada’s offshore wells, but the majority comes from foreign countries.

The sources of the foreign oil are: Algeria (17,942 cubic metres per day), United Kingdom-North Sea (15,370), Nigeria (11,835), Norway (11,483), Saudi Arabia (10,922), Iraq (6,376), Venezuela (4,218), Mexico (4,089), United States (1,857) and 29,999 cubic metres a day is purchased on the open market from other sources.

There's NO balance in Trudeau's agenda.. all there is a complete capitulation to gross and economically debilitating fraud of AGW. Along with his complete submission to Free Market dogma it leaves Canada prostrate before the wolves of radical environmentalism and global financial piracy.

Trudeau is not known for consistency in his speeches except for his love of Muslims and women's rights.
The oil industry is absolutely necessary to our society in everything we depend on, from transportation to manufacturing to heating and powering our hydro plants.
Trudeau won't be flying around the world without oil products to fuel his plane!


The environmentalists should do some studying on the changing positions of the Poles. That process is very likely causing more global warming and changing weather patterns than the man-made pollution. It is a natural phenomenon, according to scientists that has happened before and is happening again and there is nothing can be done to stop it.

But has your opinion of Trudeau changed (re; the heckler) now that you now he is a tarsander and has the same view on the tarsands lifespan as Harper did?

I don't agree with most of the Libs plans so far on most things as they are just parroting the Cons. Neither truly has the working class's best interests at the forefront...

My opinion did not change one way or another with this fluff piece posted by MentalFloss. I simply commented on his chosen source. The Snake Oil salesman will shovel whatever his audience wants to hear.

Except for the tiny little fact that we don't have tarsands in Canada.

Of course we do.

That's why they're called the Alberta Tarsands.

The Tar Sands "Gigaproject" is the largest industrial project in human history and likely also the most destructive. The tar sands mining procedure releases at least three times the CO2 emissions as regular oil production and is slated to become the single largest industrial contributor in North America to Climate Change.

The tar sands are already slated to be the cause of up to the second fastest rate of deforestation on the planet behind the Amazon Rainforest Basin. Currently approved projects will see 3 million barrels of tar sands mock crude produced daily by 2018; for each barrel of oil up to as high as five barrels of water are used.

Human health in many communities has seriously taken a turn for the worse with many causes alleged to be from tar sands production. Tar sands production has led to many serious social issues throughout Alberta, from housing crises to the vast expansion of temporary foreign worker programs that racialize and exploit so-called non-citizens. Infrastructure from pipelines to refineries to super tanker oil traffic on the seas crosses the continent in all directions to allthree major oceans and the Gulf of Mexico.

The mock oil produced primarily is consumed in the United States and helps to subsidize continued wars of aggression against other oil producing nations such as Iraq, Venezuela and Iran.
