Blue is the New Black: Five ways Big Oil is working to elect Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives and block action on climate change
He's the fossil fuel industry's dream candidate.
Climate change is shaping up to be a top ballot issue for Canadians in the 2019 federal election. But Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives are working hand in hand with the oil and gas industry to elect a Conservative government that would decimate action on climate change, weaken environmental protections, expand oil and gas production and infrastructure, and use government resources to target community organizations and Indigenous groups trying to protect the land, water and climate.
Here’s a short list of five ways Big Oil is colluding with Scheer to mislead Canadians and elect a Conservative government that would make the climate crisis worse to boost corporate profits.
1. Secret election strategy meetings between oil executives and the Conservative Party
On April 11th, a pro-oil advocacy group called the Modern Miracle Network organized a day-long conference at an Alberta luxury hotel that included the CEOs of several oil and gas companies, the president of industry lobby group Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), and the CEO of the Petroleum Services Association of Canada.
The meeting included a session on how to sue environmental groups to silence critics of the oil industry, a discussion on how to “rally the base” using pro-oil front groups, and a panel called “paths to federal election victory” that was introduced by CAPP’s president.
The keynote speaker at the conference: none other than Andrew Scheer himself.

Of course the Resource industry will support Scheer, he is the only candidate on the campaign trail that actually supports Industry with environment. Not environment against industry like the other 3 parties support which will not sustain our economic strength. Our economy will only survive with these 3 jokers until they strangle resources out of the equation, then what would we have in a resource driven economy?
Wait until your hero's take resource extraction out of the GDP, and restrict farming to growing lettuce, we'll see what kind of economy we will have. Actually I don't ever want to see that, we'll be out of the G7 and begging for Carbon tax credit payments.
Re-elected Liberals would still run big deficits, despite new taxes

OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau tried to make virtue out of red ink Sunday as he released a Liberal platform that promises to impose new taxes on wealthy individuals, large international corporations, foreign housing speculators and tech giants to help cover the cost of billions in new spending and tax breaks for the middle class.
Even with the new taxes, the platform projects another four years of deficits if the Liberals are re-elected on Oct. 21 — $27.4 billion next year, falling to $21 billion by the fourth year of the mandate.
But in a news conference at the University of Toronto’s Mississauga campus, Trudeau made it clear he’s leaning in to the old tax-and-spend Liberal reputation in order to establish an important point of distinction from his arch-rivals.
“We are making a different choice than Conservatives do,” Trudeau said in response to repeated questions about the persistent Liberal deficit.
“We’re choosing to invest in middle-class Canadians, invest in people’s communities because, quite frankly, that is what has worked over the past four years. Responsible investments have led to the creation of over a million new jobs, most of them full time, and lifting 900,000 people, including 300,000 kids, out of poverty.
Cdns will pay higher taxes if Liberals re-elected: Scheer
New Leger polls suggests federal Libs have lost ground to Conservatives
“Conservatives are still making the argument that the way to grow the economy is through cuts and austerity and tax breaks that go to the wealthiest. We disagree.”
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer was taking a break from the campaign trail Sunday. But his finance critic, Ottawa MP Pierre Poilievre, told a news conference that Trudeau is effectively saying “Canada will literally go on adding debt forever.” He predicted that a re-elected Liberal government would wind up imposing “massive tax increases to fund this irresponsible and costly platform” that would add $56 billion in new spending over four years.
“He expects Canadians to believe that money falls out of the sky or grows on trees,” Poilievre scoffed.
In B.C., NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh spent a sixth straight day stumping for west-coast votes, promising a $100-million fund to help keep young people out of gangs and mitigate the growing problem of organized crime.
And in Vancouver, Green party Leader Elizabeth May said her party would introduce a “robot tax” if elected — a levy to be paid by a company every time it replaces a worker with a machine, part of a strategy to ease the impact of the growth of artificial intelligence.
But Sunday was mostly about the Liberal platform, which Trudeau described as a “fiscally responsible” plan under which the Canada’s debt-to-GDP ratio — already the best among G7 countries, at 30.9 per cent — would decrease every year of a second mandate. As well, he said Canada will retain its triple-A credit rating, shared with only one other G7 country: Germany.
According to the platform, the proposed new taxes, combined with revenue from the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, would fatten federal coffers by $5.2 billion in the first year, rising to $7.2 billion in the fourth year.
But the extra monies would be eclipsed by 48 new spending and tax break initiatives for the middle class, which the platform estimates would cost $9.3 billion next year, rising to nearly $17 billion by the fourth year of a second mandate. The platform does not, however, include costing for several promises, including the promise to introduce a national pharmacare program which Trudeau said will have to be negotiated with the provinces.
An advisory panel created by Trudeau and led by former Ontario health minister Eric Hoskins has pegged the cost of phasing in pharmacare over 10 years at $3.5 billion in 2022, rising to $15.3 billion annually by 2027. The Liberals are promising an extra $6 billion over four years to the provinces for health care priorities, including what Trudeau has called “a down payment” on an eventual pharmacare plan.
Singh said the absence of money to back up the pharmacare promise proves that Trudeau has “clearly walked away from universal pharmacare.” he also criticized the platform for doing too little to provide affordable housing and to help post-secondary students.
The platform also doesn’t provide costing for a promise to create a guaranteed family leave benefit for new parents who don’t qualify for paid leave through Employment Insurance during the first year of their child’s life.
The parliamentary budget officer was asked to cost the big ticket items in the platform, but the Liberals did not ask him to review every promise or the platform in its entirety.
In 2015, the Liberals won election promising to run up modest deficits of no more than $10 billion for several years before returning to balance by the end of the mandate. Instead, they ran up much larger-than-anticipated deficits and have now abandoned any pretence of balancing the budget in the short term. The platform, like the Liberal government’s budgets before it, proposes no target date for staunching the flow of red ink.
The platform does promise that a re-elected Liberal government would impose an additional 10 per cent excise tax on luxury cars, boats and personal aircraft with price tags of more than $100,000.
Tech giants like Google, Amazon and Facebook with global revenues of at least $1 billion a year and Canadian annual revenues of at least $40 million would face a three per cent tax on revenue generated by the sale of online advertising and users’ personal data.
And non-resident foreigners who own vacant property in cities like Vancouver and Toronto, where speculation is a concern, would face a “consistent national tax.”
The Liberals would also crack down on tax loopholes that they say allow large corporations to excessively deduct debt to artificially reduce the amount of taxes they pay. And they would review government spending and tax expenditures in search of measures that disproportionately benefit the wealthiest individuals and large corporations — a measure the platform estimates would bring in $2 billion in the first year, rising to $3 billion by the fourth year.
The Liberal campaign has been rocked by the revelation that Trudeau appeared in black or brownface makeup several times in the past, as recently as 18 years ago. Trudeau has apologized profusely but some people of colour have suggested he needs to prove he’s changed by doing more to combat racism.
The platform, written before the blackface scandal erupted, promises a number of measures to combat racism, including doubling funding for the federal anti-racism strategy and requiring all judges to take mandatory training on unconscious bias and cultural sensitivity.
The Liberals would also regulate online hate speech, exploitation and harassment, starting with requiring social media giants to remove illegal content, including hate speech, from their platforms within 24 hours or face “significant financial penalties.”

POOR STUPID Comrade Curious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He IS OUT OF THE POLITICAL LOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And is not aware of all the stupid "Days" that LIE-berals have designated............................
for one thing or another!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and YOUR BIGOTRY IS SHOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What makes you think LIE-beral designated Patriot Day.........................................
HAS ANYTHING to do with Yankees??????????????????????????????????????
Looks like I'll be voting for a losing cantidate again. The best local candidate so far is a toss-up between the local Green and Conservative candidates, neither of whom have much of a chance of winning. But I will always vote for the best candidate in principle, never strategically, so looks like I'll be voting for a losing candidate again.
And CLIFFY apparently DOES NOT
OWN A MIRROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Otherwise he would be much more
EXPERT at recognizing Assholes!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't see them turning Pearl Harbor Day into a Star Spangled Spectacular. It is a sacred occasion that has never been tarted up with the cheesiest symbols of America.
"Patriot Day" is the creation of lesser leadership and their cynical spin doctors.
Why miss an opportunity to sell more plastic and mylar crap from China, eh?
A real patriot wouldn't buy into that circus.
Andrew Scheer accused of breaking law, falsely claiming he was an insurance broker

OTTAWA — The Liberals are asking Saskatchewan’s insurance industry watchdogs to investigate Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer for allegedly falsely claiming he once worked as an insurance broker in that province.
Biographies of Scheer posted on the Conservative Party’s current website and his past MP and leadership websites have repeatedly referred to the Conservative leader as a one-time insurance broker in Saskatchewan.
But the Globe and Mail reported on the weekend that it could find no evidence that Scheer ever received the accreditation necessary to practice as an insurance broker in the province.
Scheer clarified Saturday, saying: “I did receive my accreditation. I left the insurance office before the licensing process was finalized.”
However, the Liberals are pointing out that it’s illegal under the Saskatchewan Insurance Act for anyone without a licence to act as a broker or “hold himself out” to be a broker.
In a letter Sunday to Saskatchewan’s superintendent of insurance and the chair of the Insurance Councils of Saskatchewan, which regulates the industry, Liberal MP Marco Mendicino says Scheer “appears to have publicly and repeatedly misrepresented himself to Canadians by falsely claiming he was once an insurance broker in Saskatchewan.”
He provides numerous examples of Scheer being described as a one-time insurance broker.
“As the authorities responsible for enforcing the law and the rules, I urge you to investigate immediately and take appropriate action,” Mendicino writes.

The PRIMARY REASON NOT to buy into the LIE-beral designated "Patriots Day"...........................
is because of LIE-beral HYPOCRISY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND NOT Because the idea MIGHT Have some VAGUE Yankee connection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals have absolutely NO RESPECT for our military!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AS PROOF one has only to look at what LIE-berals consider to be suitable equipment for our military!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If it is RUSTED OUT......................................
like our old towed artillery that WAS BANNED FROM PUBLIC ROADS in the Chretien era..........................
ROTTED BEYOND PRACTICAL USE.........................................
like most army trucks and the entire Destroyer fleet...............................
IF ITS SO OLD there are no longer spare parts for it..............................
as is the case with the recently retired Sea King helicopters............................
and Oberon class submarines.............................................
if it is so old it CANNOT EVEN BE GIVEN AWAY...............................
as is the case with our Leopard tanks............................................
or if its NEW AND UNRELIABLE..........................
like the recently purchased armoured personnel carriers that have a NASTY HABIT.............................
of producing ENGINE FIRES.............................................
and of dumping the transmissions onto the road......................................
if it was poorly designed like the recently delivered coast guard ships that lack roll stabilizers..........................
and thus find it HARD TO GO OUT IN BAD WEATHER TO RESCUE PEOPLE......................................
if it is so new and improved that it HAS VIRTUALLY NO WEAPONS.....................................
and are so lightly armed they can barely handle speed boats operated by drug smugglers with Ak47 rifles.............................
lijke our brand new Arctic Patrol Craft..............................................
THEN IT IS A LIE-beral PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has been LIE-beral policy since the days of Pierre Trudope..............................
to SPIT on the military...............................................
to betray our allies..................................................
and to cravenly SURRENDER to the first bully who demands our lunch money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals are such shameless Quislings..............................................
they are even AFRAID to confront Chinese CRIMINALS..............................
who are KEY IMPORTERS OF FENTANYL.....................................
and are key drivers of house inflation as they launder drug profits from around the world...............................
in LIE-beral Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals are PREPARED TO BE BLIND to any criminal behaviour....................................
JUST SO LONG AS THEY GET A CUT OF SALES TAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure who needs to hear this but Sikhs aren’t Muslim. It’s a different religion. If you think Jagmeet Singh is here to bring us sharia law, you are not just racist, you are fukking stupid.
