Wow....Trudeau truly is a useless, feeble simp, I continue to be amazed at the level of impotence displayed by this idiot and his cabinet.

'We need Canadians to show resolve': Trudeau asks for patience as rail blockades continue

"Finding a solution will not be simple. It will take determination, hard work and cooperation," Trudeau said. "We are creating a space for peaceful honest dialogue with willing partners ... We need Canadians to show both resolve and collaboration. Everyone has a stake in getting this right."

Trudeau said that, for too long, the federal government has ignored Indigenous demands to solve lingering land and treaty disputes. He chastised Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer (without mentioning him by name) and other politicians he accused of pushing Ottawa to "act with haste and boil this down to slogans and ignore the complexities."

Scheer called Trudeau's address "the weakest response to a national crisis in Canadian history."

He said Trudeau's speech offered Canadians "a word salad" with no meaningful plan to restore rail service and end the illegal blockades that are hampering the country's economy.

"The prime minister's statement was a complete abdication of responsibility and leadership," Scheer said. "The prime minister has emboldened and encouraged this kind of behaviour."


The Conservative leadership race cannot come too soon, an effective opposition with some teeth is desparately needed right now...a vote of non-confidence against this government needs to be tabled in the House before our country is reduced to a smouldering hole. Nothing is going to get resolved with this clueless fool in charge.

Posthaste: $850M worth of manufactured goods sit idle every day as rail stoppages continue

Good Morning! It was a busy long weekend for government officials, Indigenous groups and harried business executives, many of whom had to be away from home on Family Day across Canada as they scrambled in the aftermath of the blockade that appears to have frozen the country’s economy. But there appears to be no end in sight.

Doug Porter, BMO Capital Markets senior economist, says while the global economy is reeling from the coronavirus — which will likely dent China’s growth —, the Canadian economy also has the added pressure of dealing with a widespread rail shutdown.

“The ultimate cost will depend on the duration of the shutdown, and we have plenty of recent evidence to make an early assessment,” Porter said in a note over the weekend. “The November CN strike, which lasted more than a week, ended up carving less than 0.1 ppts from GDP that month. However, this shutdown threatens to be more open-ended, with the situation ‘fluid’.”

While analysts grapple with the economic fallout, some manufacturers are estimating that the daily rail stoppages is weighing down their revenues.

This morning in Toronto, business executives including Curtis Frank, president and chief operating officer of Maple Leaf Foods, and Ian Anderson, President of CKF Inc. will detail at a press conference that “every day the rail stoppages continue, $850 million worth of manufactured goods are sitting idle.”

They will be joined by a cross-section of businesses including, BB Résaux Électriques, ArcelorMittal Dofasco, Demers Ambulances, Énergie Valero, and J.D. Irving Ltd., among others.

Diane Francis: Get to work, Trudeau, and blockade the blockades

A Canadian Prime Minister has two principal responsibilities: maintaining law and order and economic prosperity. Unfortunately, Canada’s incumbent has been missing in action.

On Feb. 6, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau left the country on non-essential business (to lobby for votes to get a worthless UN Security Council seat). His absence, in conjunction with his disastrous anti-development policies and appeasement toward Indigenous leaders, turned a dispute in late December over a pipeline into a full-blown secession crisis across the country. Indigenous and anti-resource development radicals now block railways in solidarity and the economy reels.

And throughout this calamity, Trudeau remained abroad and psychologically on the sidelines, along with his government.

Now he has cut short his tour of folly, by cancelling a chance to lobby Caribbean nations in Barbados for that worthless UN Security Council seat. But once back, he must change attitude and course.

The crisis is not about a pipeline. It has arisen due to faint or non-existent leadership. Any strong leader, corporate or governmental, would immediately cancel auxiliary trips or extraneous duties in the face of a serious situation such as this one. Any strong leader would not spout bromides about “rule of law” from afar, but would be home executing an effective course of action to stop the lawlessness and prevent further escalation.

But, in the absence of leadership, many among Canada’s 634 First Nations now assert that they are fully sovereign and above the law.

This means that the very first order of business for the returning Prime Minister is to make it clear that they are not sovereign and they are not above the laws of the land, irrespective of grievances.

Instead, Trudeau’s federal ministers have passed the buck to other levels of government to sort out the mess. The result is a spark that was ignited, concerning a pipeline in B.C., is now a major fire and every day the federal government remains aloof, the flames grow as does damage to Canada’s reputation. Negative media attention internationally spirals.

It must be made clear that there is no legal justification for these railway blockades nor is there any legal basis for this call to action by a group of British Columbia hereditary chieftains over a pipeline that has been approved by 20 First Nations chiefs. From afar, the prime minister has suggested there be “dialogue” — a vague word that signals that he has no plan or even an inkling that he has one.

But here’s what leadership should do. Any discussions, or “dialogue,” are premature until the First Nations leaders and their followers stand down from their illegal actions. This is essential in order to demonstrate that discussions or “dialogue” are even worth pursuing with those involved in breaking the law.

If they do not — and some will not because they believe that Canada is not legitimately sovereign over their traditional lands — the only strategy is for the police or military to blockade the blockades. Armed perimeters should be established around “protests” areas, and nothing, and no person, should be allowed inside until they stand down. Communications should be shut down within the perimeter.

This will avoid violent confrontations, and will eventually impede the spread of blockades. But if this does not work, and radicals push back in defiance of court orders to desist, or aggressively try to breach the police blockade, then law enforcement must protect the public.

Lobbying for votes in Africa, and hobnobbing in Munich, or blaming the provinces, makes everything worse. The prime minister must sternly uphold the rule of law, and protect Canada’s lawful economic and resource development.

Let’s hope he does. But so far this year Canadians can only conclude that if you’re not there, then you don’t care.

He is in charge of nothing , just a front man trotted out to spew the lines given to him . After cutting short his scheduled trip to the Caribbean to come back and deal with the developing crisis , Trudeau reportedly went skiing .

Reported by who...you?

This petulant little man-child held convened a meeting this afternoon with the opposition to discuss the blockade issue. He invited the leaders of the NDP, Greens, and Bloc (ie. separatist party) but excluded the conservative leader...the leader of the official opposition. Trudeau's primary goal is to tear this country apart and divide it's citizens, and he's succeeding. You would be well served to re-assess the amount of power this fool has over the country, unless your intent on making the same destructive mistake 5.9 million clueless Canadian voters made in the last election.

Protesters block B.C. Premier John Horgan’s home ahead of budget

Protesters have attempted to block the home of B.C. Premier John Horgan on Tuesday morning.

The protesters appeared to be associated with the group Extinction Rebellion, which had been planning to disrupt the B.C. budget, set to be unveiled on Tuesday afternoon.

In a Facebook post published Tuesday morning, Extinction Rebellion Vancouver Island said it stands in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs who oppose the Coast GasLink pipeline and accused Horgan, as well as Coastal GasLink and the RCMP, of “trespassing.”

BC Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson condemned the protesters’ actions, saying “no one in B.C. should ever feel unsafe in their homes or at their workplace.”“This is not how democracy works and this is not how we treat each other here,” he added.

I read this and said, "What the Shit!??" and then reread it again....then Googled...and this surreal statement is real. The Other Party Leaders don't seem fazed by this even? If the Bloc was excluded (being the only Separatist Party apart from the Liberal Party which isn't an Official separatist party) there would be Hell to pay, but this is somehow OK? Talk about exclusion & divisiveness? Trudeau just excluded 6,000,000+ Canadian's ELECTED Representative!! (That's more than 1/3rd of all Canadians that voted in the last Federal Election, and that's more than all the Canadians that actually voted for Justin Trudeau in the last Federal Election...excluded)

Sheer was excluded because he said:

Let me be clear Mr. Speaker, standing between our country and prosperity is a small group of radical activists, many of whom have little to no connection to First Nations communities. A bunch of radical activists who won’t rest until our oil and gas industry is entirely shut down,” said Scheer.

“Now they may have the luxury of not having to go to work every day. They may have the luxury of not facing repercussions for skipping class, but they are blockading our ports, our railways, and our borders and roads and highways. They are appropriating an Indigenous agenda which they are willfully misrepresenting.”

Trudeau responded to the comments in the House of Commons later on Tuesday afternoon, explaining that it was the CPC’s deliberate misunderstanding of reconciliation that was behind the exclusion. ????

This comes in response to Trudeau’s statement on February 17, wherein Trudeau gave little insight into what action would be taken. “We had a good meeting with morning with the incident response group, discussions with ministers, I made some phone calls to Indigenous leadership as well as a number of premiers. I understand how worrisome this is for so many Canadians and difficult for many families across the country. We’re going to continue to focus on resolving the situation quickly and peacefully, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reportedly invited Bloc Quebecois Leader Blanchet, Green Leader Elizabeth May, and New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh.

According to Green Leader Elizabeth May, Scheer was excluded from the meeting because of the “speech that Mr. Scheer gave following the prime minister’s statement was viewed as disqualifying him from participation in a discussion on how to find solutions.”

When Trudeau himself was asked about the matter, he confirmed that it was Scheer’s statements earlier that he deemed “unacceptable speech.”

Jagmeet Singh also called Scheer’s speech “reprehensible” and “divisive,” saying that the comments were “designed to pit some groups against another.”


When asked by Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchett about if there was any timeline in place for the removal of protestors, Trudeau stated that the government was willing to meet with Wet’suwet’en to find a solution, again giving no details.

Protestors at this point remain blockading several crucial areas of travel for Canadians as well as routes necessary for transporting millions of dollars worth of goods.

Scheer called Trudeau’s inaction the “Weakest response to a national crisis in Canadian history.”

“I listened to the Prime Minister’s word salad just now, and at least two key things were missing: a clear denunciation that the actions of these radical activists are illegal, and some kind of an action plan that will put an end to the illegal blockades and get our economy back on track.”

Scheer called the statement a “complete advocation of responsibility and of leadership.”

Scheer also highlighted that the majority of members of the Wet’suwet’en people were in support of the coastal gas link project. “every single elected band council on the gas link route supports this project. The majority of hereditary chiefs support this project.”

Bright side??? I'm not seeing it, and your examples above don't really offer any context for it.

Scott Moe has just announced he will be convening a conference call Wednesday of premiers. Nice to see there is someone in this country who's willing to take some sort of initiative and show actual leadership. Might be a positive step forward.


Moe, who is chairman of the Council of the Federation, said in the tweet that he's taken the step due to "a lack of federal leadership in addressing this ongoing illegal activity." A spokesman for the premier said in an email that Moe made the decision following requests from a number of premiers.

Our petulant ball-less manchild of a PM can't handle the truth. Nor does he take honest criticism with any measure of balance. Mr Scheer's exclusion from the meeting had more to do with the little turd's ego then any imagined racism. He also did not want any dissenting voices when he met with his left-wing apparatchiks. By excluding the Opposition leader - the only voice that would represent the West, trudeau once again showed his utter disdain for millions of citizens - a good portion of whom are Indigenous and whose livelihoods depend on the resource sector.


I won't be surprised to see the meeting produce little more than platitudes, more calls for patience and nothing in the way of action.

The Gov't is there to represent the electorate. So you're saying the Opposition Minority of the electorate's representatives veto the Majority of the Opposition? That sounds about right for this situation. Here's the results from the last Federal election for the Opposition parties....and 8.01% + 15.8% + 6.31% = 30.12% of the electorate....which Trumps & Veto the voice for the 34.5% that voted for their voice as Conservatives?? That's awfully democratic of them, so similar to the 4 or 5 of the 11 hereditary chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en vetoing the other 6 or 7 & the ELECTED Chief and Council.

I can smell where you're coming from all the way out here in Saskatchewan.

Meanwhile in Quebec....


Quebec, James Bay Cree announce $4.7-billion development deal
The vision for the program that includes rail networks and wildlife habitat protection “came from us,” a Cree leader says.




CHRISTOPHER CURTIS, MONTREAL GAZETTE Updated: February 17, 2020

Premier François Legault and the James Bay Cree have signed a $4.7-billion deal that will extend rail networks north, protect new wildlife habitats against development and partner on new infrastructure projects.

The Grand Alliance is a “new chapter” in the relationship between both governments, Legault said Monday. An extended rail network means more minerals can be extracted from mines in the boreal forest and shipped to American and German markets.

By increasing rail capacity, Legault says Quebec will offer North American and European businesses an alternative to Chinese imports.

“It will create well-paying jobs in the Cree community but also foster a new generation of Cree entrepreneurs,” said Legault, who called the deal a model of nation-to-nation governance.

The alliance, he says, balances environmental protections with economic development.

“We, the leaders of the Cree nation, are here today not to make a sacrifice or surrender,” said Abel Bosum, Grand Chief of the Grand Council of the Crees. “We’re not forced to make a concession. We have the right to choose. The vision for this program came from us. It represents our vision of sustainable development.”


Lithium from mines in Cree territory takes a meandering route south; one involving trucks that snake on logging roads, offload their cargo onto a train network badly in need of an overhaul.

Legault says the project will have twofold affect in curtailing greenhouse gas emissions. An extended rail network means diesel trucks are virtually taken out of the equation. And the fact that they’re carrying lithium — used in batteries that fuel electric cars — will also have on impact in fighting climate change.

The Cree and Quebec government will split the cost of studying the new railroad — which Legault said will cost “in the tens of millions of dollars.” The plan also includes hundreds of kilometres of power lines and roads linking remote Cree villages to the outside world and the construction of a deep sea port in James Bay.

It is the extension of a series of treaties between Quebec and the Cree — one that began with the 1976 James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement and extended to the Paix des Braves in 2002.

“This is the return on the investment Quebec made (in the Cree),” said Bosum. “It is a model of nation-to-nation governance.”

"My guess, no environmental assessment required, no protests to happen and the entire project will be fast tracked... Must be nice to be called Quebec and not Alberta"

True dat. None of the racists wanted the one non racist at their handwringing. Coincidentally the one non racist is also the only one with a plan to fix the problem while the handwringers still have their heads up each other's asses.
