Huh, funny, I thought it was because they saw no profit in it and realized it, so said "See ya!"

More like pulled the application before a denial was stamped on it much like Energy East, shelf it until the political climate is more accepting of these projects.

QUEBEC – In response to Alberta’s Buffalo Declaration, Quebec politicians are refusing to allow a bunch of measly Albertan yokels muscle in on their tactic of threatening to separate from the federation.

The Sherbrooke Declaration, Trois-Riviere Accord, and something called “Bill 101 On Steroids” have been hastily signed by the province’s pro-sovereignty leaders as a **** you gesture to their Alberta counterparts.

“Separation and sovereignty are our words,” said Premier Francois Legault referring to the document signed by four Alberta MPs outlining the conditions for Alberta staying within Canada. “Grieving constantly and refusing to participate unless you get your way like being able to oppress visible minorities
is our trademark. Alberta does a cute impression of Quebec, but these small fry hicks should know their place.”

“Oh, and we at least proof-read our ultimatums,” added Legault referring to the grammatical error on page two of the Buffalo Declaration.

Quebec lawmakers decreed there’s only one throne for the King of Complaints in Canada’s federal system, and it doesn’t belong to pipeline-loving country bumpkins who support “Wa-Wa Wexit.”

“The Buffalo Declaration is adorable, but have they tried two provincial referendums?” remarked Bloc leader Yves-François Blanchet sarcastically. “Pro-tip: If you’re going to pull the ‘recognize our distinct identity’ bullshit, try not speaking the same language of your apparent oppressors.”

“****ing amateurs,” scoffed former Quebec Premier Lucien Bouchard. “That’s no way to shakedown the feds. Alberta can go suck its truck nuts.”

If you're referring to the attitude towards the federal transfer payments, they have nothing to do with private enterprise.
Actually, I'm referring to the attitude shown toward the Quebecois and Francophones by many folk on this board.

Unless you're going to pretend it don't happen, in which case I'll wish you a lovely evening.

It's dead already, the way this thread should go..

Also Kenny sending Natural Gas to Quebec, he's an idiot.

Quebec is the Scorpion in the story about the Frog and Scorpion.



"A scorpion asks a frog to carry him over a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, both would sink and the scorpion would drown. The frog then agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. "

Wrong.


"Teck Resources Ltd. says it’s withdrawing its application for a massive oilsands mining project just days ahead of an expected government decision, citing the political discourse over climate change.'


As a matter of fact, Teck told both the provincial and federal governments that their climate change plans didn't even measure up to those the company has in place.

The Quebecois deserve every bit of shit they get bud. There's a difference between the Quebecois and French-Canadians. French-Canadians are, by and large, French speaking Canadians. The Quebecois, on the other hand, do NOT consider themselves to be Canadian except when it comes to federal handouts and traveling abroad. Quebecois only refer to themselves as Canadian when it's convenient for them. It isn't "French-Canadians" so much as the Quebecois that cause the problems.
Keep in mind, the Bloc Quebecois that threatened to put forward a motion to kill Teck, is just a reincarnation of the SAME Bloc Quebecois that blocked almost every Federal plan for the East Coast after the cod fish went to shit. They weren't going to let Ottawa spend money elsewhere unless Quebec was getting something out of too.
The Bloc Quebecois simply refuse to play nice with the ROC. So why should the ROC give one rat's ass about the stupid c*nts? They deserve every bit of attitude from the ROC they get.


Even our little potato is Quebecois and NOT a Canadian. Two quotes from Groper: "Canada belongs to Quebec", and "Quebecers are better than Canadians". That sums up the Quebecois attitude in general. So you'll have to excuse me if I fail to shed a tear for the asshole Quebec nationalists.

If that's what they say it must be true!

WTI spot price under $44

Brent crude struggling to stay above $50

Nobody is going to invest in an oil sands project

Teck obviously wanted to. The price for Western Select has been down for some time now. Teck just announced a couple of days ago they were putting the project on hold. If the market price was too low for them, why did Teck wait til now? Why not last month, or December, or November? The "claim" is being made, by those who have nothing to do with Teck, that they can't make a profit while the WTI is less than $95/bbl. It's been less than that for quite some time now and yet Teck waited until they realized we have a useless, spinless piece of shit for a Prime Minister to put the project on hold.


You'll note that the project is on hold until there's a better political climate in Canada. It's not on hold until the WTI hits $95/bbl again.


Meanwhile, Norway just issued 69 offshore exploration licences to 28 companies, 19 of which have been given operatorships. Yeah, it's not oil sands oil but to hear leftist morons keep yammering on about demand dropping and an oil glut keeping prices low don't seem to stack up when compared to Norway's announcement.

We have a charter of rights , don’t you know ?

I prefer to call it the Charter of Wrongs. It is not worth anything except to maybe be used for starting a fire. The COR does nothing to protect anyone's real right to their freedom of expression. It should have written after those three words freedom of expression these words, well maybe, perhaps, could be, we will think about it, or we will see. The Human Rights Commission or the hate laws will decide as to whether you have a right to your freedom of expression or not.

It says that I have a right to my freedom of expression but yet we now have Human Rights Commissions and hate laws that will decide as to whether I have any rights to my freedom of speech. If I say something to someone that can be seen as promoting hatred or offending someone's sensitive hurt feelings, I may have my rights to my freedom of speech taken away from me.

A charter of rights is not worth much if a charter does not live by it's own words or when it has to be challenged thousands of times like it has happened already. As I said already, the Canadian COR and the words written on it are about as useless as teats on a male giraffe. Just my opinion of course.
