Agree on the debt and trade.
For AG that's not as high a concern for me (though I do agree that perhaps it should be separate from MoJ) as Immigration.
Climate change is serious and getting more so (whether you believe it or not).
Jobs is always an issue.
Personally I'd love to see a Government that'll take Canadian oil and develop it here, for our own use, THEN sell it off.
I'd also like to see more push into better/cleaner energy practices though.
POOR SERRYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She wants Cdn govt interference in the Cdn oil industry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By making that statement she demonstrates HOW LITTLE KNOWLEDGE she has of either Cdn history or economics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clearly she KNOWS NOTHING of the ugly history of govt owned Petro Canada or the Pierre Trudeau National Energy Policy!!!!!!!!!!
AS for Our idiot Boy Justin -he has all pipelines right where he wants them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IN LEGAL LIMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There will be NO ACTION on pipelines or oil industry problems TILL AFTER the 2019 election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If LIE-berals win then Our idiot Boy will use his new mandate to KILL THE CDN OIL PATCH COMPLETELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As he has told us he wants to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals are defeated in October -then the new govt will push aside LIE-beral STALLING TACTICS and proceed with construction of oil pipelines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for govt getting involved in any way with oil production - Petro Canada has shown us how it is done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The UGLY DETAILS are set out below::::::::
Recently a Lie-beral claimed that Harper and Conservatives sold off Petro Canada-as if the crown corporation was actually USEFUL in some fashion to Cdns and this is a truly spectacular re-writing of history! Petro Canada was created in 1975 by Lie-beral prime minister (and closet communist) Pierre Trudeau. Petro Canada was a TYPICAL Lie-beral creation-a crown corporation sucking up massive amounts of tax money and consistently failing to show a profit in spite of preferential treatment by govt. The special govt aid included FREE access to assorted oil fields on crown land around the country-access which any private oil company would have to bid on and PAY for-and yet private companies out performed the crown corporation civil service Hogs at every turn in spite of govt aid to Petro Canada RIPOFF!
Petro Canada also bought out the small privately owned experimental tar sands project in west Alberta and expanded it massively. As the price of oil soared, other companies joined Petro Canada in exploiting the tar sands. So when our current prime minister the Boy with nice hair-for Brains speaks of shutting down the tar sands he is telling us he wants to DESTROY the energy policy CREATED BY his father the odious Pierre Trudope-our vicious PET!
By 1990, with Petro Canada STILL sucking up masses of tax dollars to keep afloat-and no real hope of ever making the govt employed Petro Hogs actually PAY their way; and with many private companies producing good profits in Alberta oil fields and making Petro Canada look STUPID; and with the Conservative govt of Brian Mulroney facing a recession, it was decided to cut the MANY losses of govt and sell off Petro Canada-it was NOTHING to do with Harper!! Lie-berals miss no opportunity to lie about Harper and like good socialists, they are quite willing to re-write history-just look at the crap they spout about Harper! Socialists believe their `good will` makes them infallible and any socialist plan that goes wrong must therefore have been sabotaged by their enemies and so Socialists believe they are ENTITLED to re-write history as they please!
Some Lie-berals may jump on this information and ask what is the difference between selling Petro Canada and selling Ontari-owe Hydro? The difference is this: There were and are many companies producing oil and oil prices do fluctuate up and down from time to time-competition between oil companies is not high...but there IS Some. Compare that to your electric bill-and I ASK-when was the last time the price of electricity EVER FELL? In your LIFETIME????
Further, oil is NOT something we need every day. We can walk or bicycle to work-in fact Lie-berals would like to ORDER us to do this! Loonie leftists and Lie-berals are behind the `war on cars` in Toronto. Or we can take a bus or subway. We can control oil consumption costs by car pooling or trading in the SUV on a smaller more fuel efficient car etc. We HAVE some choices about gas consumption-not many, but SOME!
With electricity we HAVE NO CHOICE-it is produced ONLY by one entity-GOVERNMENT! And we need electricity every day. We need it to run subways. Need it for street lights and stop lights. Need it for the heart monitor Granny is hooked up to. Need it for our furnace-the main fuel may be natural gas or even oil but the thermostat won’t run without electricity! Need it for our computers and machines at work.
Oil is something we can often do without if we are careful. Electricity is something we MUST have EVERY DAY!
All democratic govts long ago adopted the notion that a monopoly is a BAD THING and ought to be regulated heavily. Petro Canada was NOT a monopoly-just a very costly business failure and good riddance . Ontari-owe Hydro is a powerful monopoly that WE ALL need and Ontari-owe Lie-berals are selling it off for short term gain and long term pain-a quick one time infusion of cash in exchange for long term LOST PROFITS!
AND Lie-berals have ended the ability of provincial auditors to even look at the books of the electrical MONOPOLY in future and we ought to be asking what they are planning to hide in those now closed off books! Ontari-owe premier McWynnty-the Great Whore who sold herself, her party and our future to the Hogs has now sold 15 percent of Ontari-owe Hydro and has used that small sale as an excuse to completely shut the Hydro books IN SPITE of Hydro STILL being a publicly owned entity! Petro Canada was an easily replaced money pit. Ontari-owe Hydro is an essential service being stolen from Cdns!
There was NO CHANGE in the price or supply of oil after Petro Canada was sold but there WILL BE big changes in the cost of electricity in future in Ontari-owe! Lie-berals are scamming the public with this one and sneering as if Conservatives were the problem!
Lie-berals blame Conservatives for ruining the economy during the Harper years....yet after the 2008 recession (engineered by U.S. bankers) Lie-berals screamed at Harper for not spending enough borrowed money to save the economy! And now that Trudope-Our foolish Boy with hair for brains-is in charge and the economy is PLUMMETING FURTHER, Lie-berals are blaming Harper for spending TO MUCH! Such absurd hypocrisy from Lie-berals!
And how ironic is it that Justin, the Boy with nice hair for Brains campaigned in the recent election promising to CLOSE DOWN the Alberta tar sands projects-the COSTLY creation of Pierre Trudeau and his Lie-berals! Lie-berals are so muddled they cannot even keep their own policy straight much less figure out what others are doing or why!
Although the truth is that Our Boy is so selfish and pig headed that he will hurt anybody who disagrees with him-if he can. So oil from Lie-beral loathing Alberta stays in the ground while natural gas from more liberal friendly provinces is put in a new pipeline and shipped off to the west coast and environmentalists be damned-there are LIE-beral votes at stake!
And why has the Cdn dollar sunk so far and so fast recently? Money managers and economists are a LOT smarter than poor Justin and they can see (even if he cannot) that his economic `plan` is nothing more than a retread of the crap thrown at us by NDP Bob Rae!
The international money managers that Our hair-brained Boy wants to borrow from have seen this loonie leftist Lie-beral trick before-does anybody other than disgusted bankers remember Bob Rae and his Rae days? BoB the BOOB was going to spend us rich with borrowed money! Or look at the recent example of stupid debt and how best to piss off your creditors perpetrated in Greece! Money managers don’t like what they see of Our Boy! The Boy with hair for brains has been on the job for only a few months and the economic world has cast its vote: a 74 cent Cdn dollar is our reward for “letting the deficit take care of itself”!
Civil service Working Family Hogs LOVE the Boy because he is going to BUY their support and their love....but the real world of sensible economists think the Boy has hair for brains and Cdns ought to be economically punished for being stupid enough to elect the dolt!
But Lie-berals will tell you its all Harpers fault! Even when its LIE-beral promises being broken its STILL somehow all Harpers fault! LIE-berals want the Harper regime buried and forgotten so nobody will look back and compare foolish LIE-berals to previous more responsible govts! Its why Our Boy admires the Chinese-because THE PARTY writes the history! And Our Boy wonders why some people call his party LIE-berals?
