He did appear to be very uncomfortable. That's what happens when you get a real leader!! Makes one a bit intimidated!!
Mark Carney (Trudeau Liberal Replacement) as PM
- Thread starter Ron in Regina
- Start date
It means they're serious & Carney IS NOT SERIOUS!! He's an idiot!
So. . . making threats and being hostile is "being serious?" Who's your model leader? Kim Jong Un? Moammar Ghadafi?
Being warry of Trump is good sense. Being scared shitless is just being woke.
Obviously you have never been involved in labour negociations.If Trump was the lead negociator for USW, you would think he was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Oddly, I have. Ended up in bed with the management rep. Literally.
I grew up in a union logging camp, and have beloned to a few different unions over the years, so I have heard some really odd barganing positions. A few that would make a normal person think the workers already had too much. The oddest one comes from late 60s or early 70s. The union was demanding hot lunches delivered to the rigging crews. But only for certain members of the crew. Hook tender, who is the boss on highlead logging, and engineer, who runs the yarde. The the other 3 or 4 people were on their own. The various sides could be many miles apart, and many of the large "camps" were actually near towns or had a sizeable married quarters.
She seemed to enjoy it.
Only seems gay if you're a throwback who assumes all management reps are male.
Sounds like you.
Carney and Canadian premiers bid to speed up major projects, cut US reliance
OTTAWA (Reuters) -Prime Minister Mark Carney, seeking to reduce Canada's economic ties to the United States, on Monday met the heads of the 10 provinces as part of a push to slash the time needed to approve mining and energy projects. It can take a decade or more for a mine or a pipeline to get...

Part of the problem with fast tracking large infrastructure projects is the lack of control that goes along with it. Everything is cost + and everybody knows it. It actually works better for the contractor if the project is prolonged and run inefficiently. No money is spent or stays in the local economies all the way to the provincial level.
But get them shovels in the ground.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals suffered an embarrassing defeat in a June 2 vote in the House of Commons. Conservative interim leader Andrew Scheer’s sub-amendment to the throne speech, which called for a “firm commitment” to present a spring economic statement or budget “that incorporates measures aimed at unleashing Canada’s economic potential,” passed by a vote of 166-164.
This surprising result was aided by the fact that four Liberal MPs didn’t vote due to the long-standing procedural measure of paired abstentions. This is when the parties represented in the House agree to have an MP sit out a vote and be paired with an MP of a different party who can’t attend for a particular reason.
In fairness, this was a non-binding vote. Confidence in the Liberal government wasn’t being put to the test that day. At the same time, in spite of chief government whip Mark Gerretsen suggesting “we knew the outcome of what that vote was going to be,” it’s still a humiliating moment. While there have been a tiny number of instances of a federal government losing a non-binding vote, resolution or motion, it’s highly unusual to have it happen…linked through a throne speech.
The 45th Canadian Parliament officially began on May 26. There are already some early signs that it may not last very long.

Yeah, bob! Only being the dumber end of a shovel handle gives you expertise in the subtleties of mining and energy products!
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario. They all get structured as cost plus and the longer they go the better they are for the consortium
I’ve been on the end of many shovels, some of them quite substantial, & and I know little and learn something new every day.
Did you learn how to navigate the economic and legal technicalities of development while you were pushing your monly shovel like a real Canajun mon?
I learned how to not spin my wheels. I learned how to bring back one and a half buckets every bucket…& this was on a pretty big shovel…& I learned to “mentally find level” which will make sense the next time you’re in a payloader.
. No to your other inquiry though.
