What fishing jobs ? The UFAWU is now part of Unifor because they no longer have enough membership.
Trans Mountain ‘pipeline is going to get built’: Trudeau dismisses B.C.’s bitumen ban
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
I was thinking fish farms and processing plants which are mostly nonunion. The feds destroyed commercial fishing decades back.
But that is mostly imported oil so it doesn't polute.
Okay.
This is really quite simple.
The project has been approved. It is in the national interest, and needs to be declared so by the federal gov't.
According to our constitution, inter-provincial transportation of goods is solely a federal responsibility
That means BC has no say. Period. All it takes is a federal gov't willing to do its job.
Declare this project in the national interest, tell BC to howl all it likes, but we're building it, and put the shovels in the ground.
Peaceful protest is, of course, perfectly within the rights of the people. However, blocking the project or trying to sabotage it physically is not. Do not stand for it. Use the minimum force necessary to expediate the process of construction, but be willing to use force against those that break the law.
And if BC tries to pass some blocking legislation, the feds need to disallow it.
Yes, they have that constitutional power. Unused since the 1940s, but it is there, in black and white.
Just do it.
If we were like this 150 years ago, we wouldn't be a country, because we'd still be waiting for the railroad to be built.

I agree, but do you really think Trudeau and this Liberal Government has the intestinal fortitude to take a stand on this? I'll believe it when I see it, and I haven't seen much yet that would give me any confidence this is going to happen.
Trudeau is so busy trying to be everything for everybody, he can't and won't take a stand. When the hard work begins, he's off somewhere posing for selfies and delegating (aka dodging) the work. In the meantime, our economy is taking a big sh*t, our resources are devalued on the world market due to inability to move them, provinces are at each other's throats on inter-provincial trade and policy, free trade with our neighbors is completely up in the air, illegal immigration issues are plaguing provinces, provincial law enforcement have more questions than answers on huge upcoming issues that no one seems to be interested in addressing, on and on, and on.
This is what happens when you put a poser in a position of authority. You get good photos, but not much else.
Trump opened up all the US oil fields obama had sealed. By 2020 the US will be the oil king, they are selling oil in the mideast already. They want to supply china at a price that will make Canadian oil and gas profitable again.
If Canada wants to not get wiped out, and turn gangrene green, like the soros lovers want, we NEED those pipe lines. We also should be refining too.

So do you have a project on the go to harness this future energy?
I guess the ERP and cleanup protocol do work or the line would have been shut down
They could build a pipeline! Of course the hot sulfur water is completely harmless to any drinkable water it mixes with....
Sask will have it long before BC because we can afford it.

Geothermal Agreement Signed - SaskPower
Geothermal or batteries still can't pull an 80ft seeder.
It's radioactive.
You don't get a name like Radium Hot Springs without it.

I hate to be the one to bring this up, but Northern Gateway was approved as well...subject to 209 conditions. The approval was subsequently withdrawn by the Liberals.
This pipe has been approved with only 157 conditions, however Trudeau is on record as saying... and I quote... "We can't shut down the oil sands tomorrow. We need to phase them out. We need to manage the transition off our dependence on fossil fuels." It's pretty clear what his stance is on oil sands, fossil fuels, and pipelines.
At a time when Canada desperately needs leadership that will fight for our resource economy, we have a lightweight who's primary objective is driven on shutting it down...despite what he's saying out the other side of his mouth to try and be the hero to everyone. the fight is really just getting started, it's going to take more than a few stern, empty words from this pufter to get the heavy equipment moving.
Trudie is a Maurice Strong, George Soros puppet who is trying to do what obama and hitlary and the bushes couldn't do to the US, but did to Libya, Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq
While trump turns the US into a world supplier of oil to the china that owns these commienaziglobalists.
