And we don't have a politician in sight that has the "balls" to stand up and tell it like it is. Sad!
No Joke. You and others like you are being taken for a ride by the people you support.
I believe it was Toronto Radio Talk Show Host who said that if you badger a Canadian Politician, that you will never get an interview with them again. That is why the media did not like Harper and why they are playing it safe with Trudeau. They don't dare ask him the hard questions like: How can you ban supertankers on the west coast while allowing them, not only in the east, but in our sensitive waterways and canals?
As to the assertion that we are just a piddly player in this very large game, that is also a very naive view. We are the filth largest oil producer in the world. That's pretty damned significant. The Prime Minister is looking the other way to appease special interest who got him in.
As MHZ post stating that Harper may have stalled the pipeline, that particular conspiracy theory is farcical at best.
Blaming any of that on Quebecers or Ontarians is out there, bizzarro, cuckoo land.
It's their a$$ he's kissing.
True, had I been serious there would have been a link of some sort. That being said the lines going east are still ageing, why not do a new rail line and pipeline that takes a route away from populated areas and 'sensitive' areas and accidents are taken into account as far as having the equipment ready to respond using the same rail system. Power lines could be routed in that right of way for the long distance lines as well.As MHZ post stating that Harper may have stalled the pipeline, that particular conspiracy theory is farcical at best.
All we have to do is become a place of under achievers and then equalization payments end and that hurts Ont and Que more than it does the west.If the West wants to shift federal power back towards the West, blaming Quebecers and Ontarians for things that nobody has any control over sure as hell isn't going to work.
Actually, he "graced" our city earlier this week and was interviewed on the radio. Because I was at work, I was unable to hear the interview. I was out and about yesterday and low and behold the radio station was re-playing his interview so I heard a portion of it. I was really upset at the low-ball questions being asked (apparently by listeners who emailed/texted questions) like whether he had French or Heinz ketchup in his fridge. Are you kidding me??
He was asked about the ban on super tankers on the West Coast and he spoke about the environment and how 20,000 BC'ers rely on the waters for their living etc., etc. - a reasonable answer to be sure. I couldn't disagree with a lot of what he had to say (amazingly enough). The interviewer could have challenged him more on that answer but didn't.
When asked about the East Coast however that also had super tankers in their waters why Canada was getting oil from Venezuela as opposed to using its own oil, the bobbing and weaving was incredible. JT didn't answer the question - just the usual political rhetoric about how we need to investigate and study and blah blah blah. Was ticked me off was that the interviewer didn't challenge him for not answering the question at all.
I am soooo, soooo tired of the media not challenging our politicians - doesn't matter what stripe, but ESPECIALLY Trudeau and the Liberals it makes me so mad. I don't know about you but I want answers not rhetoric. I want to know why and how and when and where. Good grief doesn't anyone else? Even an "I don't know but I'll get back to you" would be better than the BS drivel we get on a regular basis.
When we finally have a media (The Rebel) who would challenge them, they're banned or ignored instead, likely because they don't like to be challenged. So much for free speech and open governments.
sigh....
JMHO

We all know about Quebec. Tell us about the long history of transfer payments into Ontario.
Too short a history but "back in the day" it was regulations and quotas levelling the table.

THAT you can blame on the Liberals.
I'm an old fashioned PC Tory (not a Reformacon) and I sure as hell don't "support" the Liberals (I was in the Forces during the Pierre Trudeau era, [shudder]. Je me bloddy soviens)
The reform is long gone. The Joe Clark Tories will never be back. If that is your hope, you might as well sign on with Justin.
