Given the economic threat facing 🇨🇦, Carney’s plan to streamline reg approval processes for major natural resource & energy projects, including energy, is wise.
However Canada still doesn’t have a federally led comprehensive energy plan.
So 9 months after the post below we’re still! Childless.
Mark??

🇨🇦 Hasn’t had a viable energy plan/policy since Mulroney torched the NEP 40+yrs ago.
Why is that significant?
Energy policy should provide a roadmap to energy security, sustainability, and economic & social wellbeing.
Hard to take seriously a govt navigating through the energy minefield without one.

Has anyone noticed that Bell Aliant services (land line, TV, and internet) are becoming increasingly unreliable.
I’ve spent hours on the phone jumping through hoops with tech support staff in a Philippine call centre. Does anyone know how to escalate this to qualified technical staff?

#GlobalHeating greatly increases #wildfire risk. That‘s been established scientifically for a long time (see IPCC reports) but has now been shown again for the current fires 🔥 in France and Spain in a new World Weather Attribution study.

On this day, Dec 12th,1931,
DOMINION OF NEWFOUNDLAND was created by the Statute of Westminster.
It gave NFLD full legislative autonomy, legal independence, & equal status with UK, allowing us to make our own laws & to control our own foreign policy.
Canada became a dominion at the same time!

Learn from our mistakes:
Prime Minister Monroe of Dominion of Newfoundland was elected on a right wing pro business agenda. He axed personal income tax & reduced corp taxes. His plan, to replace lost revenue with TARIFFS!
The result was near bankruptcy of the country and loss of our independence.

Rise in extremism threatens everyone.
But, data points to rightwing extremism as greatest threat..
Ironically, American conservatives who believe that 2nd amendment right to guns is worth the cost in lives lost, seem only to be outraged when one of their own becomes a victim..
Hypocrisy is ugly.

Can someone with knowledge of the relevant American law explain the impact of this morning’s ruling that trump has violated the principle of posse comitatus that restricts the military from being used for domestic law enforcement?
Does this make the orders to soldiers to do so, unlawful?

Trump’s supporters are in denial.
They’re immunized against logic and facts and will never admit that they have become cultists.

Trump walked away empty handed after giving Putin a series of gifts. Putin said the underlaying conditions for the war need to be addressed to achieve peace. Those conditions are ending Ukraine’s sovereignty/ movement towards Europe. I see some harsh terms being proposed to Ukraine. Trump’s a loser.

Despite his professed anger, trump has taken no steps to hold Putin to account for war crimes he’s committing daily in Ukraine.
It’s also evident that those who still support him are ok with that.
Fixing lethal agenda of Trump’s boy Miller, a latter day Rasputin, will require Dems with >backbone.🤷🏼♂️

Oh dear! If Putin had given Trump a single concession, he would be the first to trumpet the fact to the press corps in Anchorage.
His “ru ru ru hoax” reference makes it clear he’s still worried about the perception he is the junior player in the RU - US relationship.
A sad day for USA..

On a train in UK in 80s, a backpacker took a seat facing me. Seeing the Cdn Flag on her backpack I told her I was from Canada as well, & asked her what part she was from.
Turning bright red she stammered, actually I’m an American.
Seeing her embarrassment I said, we Cdns take that as a complement.

Watch for Dominic LeBlanc to be interim leader covering fire for his friend’s “tactical withdrawal.”
Poilievre, giddy with overconfidence is already squandering the moment, LeBlanc will deliver the ordinance that will shred his PM’s aspirations.

Will PM Pierre actually have free range to run things? Did Harper hand the reins to this successor or did he use his IDU connections to install a puppet?
I suspect the foreign interference report will answer that question..
