OK, I guess that's a message. Of sorts.

Harming Canada isn’t ‘in the best interests of British Columbians,’ Mr. Horgan

Time for British Columbians to look at whose interests are really being served: the people’s, or the premier’s

You know where the photo was taken, don't you Cliffy. If not, let me inform you. It was taken inside Chief Fat-Asses protest tepee when she was on her hunger strike being fed MacDonald's by her supporters. While her detractors back home on the Attawapiskat reserve were learning about all the money she had spent on herself and her live-in fella which included two Cadillac Escalades and many other perks all the while doing nothing to improve the appalling conditions existent in the community. JT wasn't even the Liberal leader back then. You might have found a better meme to try and make your feeble point, because this one is a FAIL.

Politicians tend to look at referendums with a jaundiced eye, JLM as they have no control over the outcome and we all know that they fear loss of it.

Horgan has no recourse but to continue appeasing the Greenies lest his government face a motion of non-confidence should he suddenly see the light and get on the right side of this debate. His fate is sealed as it that of the Greens.





3,000 CP Rail workers could be on strike by end of week as union serves 72-hour notice | Financial Post

Well that could adversely affect rail transport of oil and gas to BC should AB and SK choose to restrict shipments.

Hogan's real problem is permently alienating the thousands of unionized construction workers in BC. Dreamweaver and his little band of misinformed ecoterrorists won't be able to save Horgan speech azz from a revolt.


Good thing all the bands along the route already have profit sharing agreements in place.

And by untenable he means he does not want to get anybody killed.

To put it mildly, it's an Ersatz government.

Alberta oilsands waste exported by American refineries to pollution-choked India

'We should not become the dust bin of the rest of the world'

U.S. oil refineries that are unable to sell a dirty fuel waste product at home are exporting vast quantities of it to India instead.
Petroleum coke, the bottom-of-the-barrel leftover from refining Canadian oilsands crude and other heavy oils, is cheaper and burns hotter than coal. But it also contains more planet-warming carbon and far more heart- and lung-damaging sulfur — a key reason few American companies use it.
Refineries instead are sending it around the world, especially to energy-hungry India, which last year got almost a fourth of all the fuel-grade "petcoke" the U.S. shipped out, an Associated Press investigation found. In 2016, the U.S. sent more than 8 million metric tons of petcoke to India. That's about 20 times more than in 2010, and enough to fill the Empire State Building eight times.
The petcoke being burned in countless factories and plants is contributing to dangerously filthy air in India, which already has many of the world's most polluted cities.

First of all, Cliffy this is about the US and India. Once the oil is in US hands, it's theirs. Secondly, don't you think it is up to the Indian government to decide whether they want it or not? If they keep accepting it, the US has every right to keep shipping it.

'My lungs are finished'

Gee, you think this has anything to do with it? Hmmmn?


Air pollution in India is quite a serious issue with the major sources being fuelwood and biomass burning, fuel adulteration, vehicle emission and traffic congestion.

You mean. . . Induns don't all think and feel the same way about every issue?

Amazing isn't it, Tec. Appears all the FNs aren't speaking with 'one voice'. Guess this will come as surprise to those on the protest line saying otherwise.

For those of us living near reserves who interact on a daily basis with FNs, it comes as no surprise at all. Some are for, some are against and then there are those with no opinion at all. No different than the varying opinions of Canadians across the country.

Hundreds of business leaders urge B.C.’s Horgan to keep up Trans Mountain fight

More than 450 business leaders are speaking out against the Trans Mountain expansion project.
Notably, OpenText Co-Founder Tim Bray is among the long list of signatories of an open letter urging British Columbia Premier John Horgan to stand strong in his ongoing fight to block the project.
"Saying 'no' to the Trans Mountain pipeline not only protects the hundreds of thousands of jobs in British Columbia that depend on a clean, protected environment, saying 'no' is a crucial signal to companies, industries and investors that we want to build the future in areas like clean energy and technology," Tim Bray said in a release. "Saying 'no' to Kinder Morgan is saying 'yes' to British Columbia's real future."
