Alberta NDP

[52weekbreak]

I have a deep belief that this is all smoke an mirrors and she doesn't actually support the pipeline at all. She has to put on the appearance that she is working for Alberta if she has even the smallest hope of ever getting in again, but I'm convinced she has long term plans that would severly impede the development of pipelines.

You certainly could be right. Time will tell though and this move has probably increased her chances of re-election (sigh). Appearance is everything in politics

Now she's talking about banning bc beer too ... I love that granville brewing beer, and kokanee would also be banned (even though its brewed here)

So Alberta workers can’t drive onto a Saskatchewan job site, Montreal and Quebec won’t allow a pipeline to eastern tide water, bc won’t let a twining of an existing pipe happen, alberta bans bc wine... this is what we get for having a spineless Federal government headed by a pansy for a prime minister who is more concerned with the vernacular of “peoplekind” over “mankind” rather than the economy of Canada, the unattractiveness of international investment in Canada is really disconcerting. Exxon investing 50 billion in the US oil gas sector and no new investment in Canada. We are in trouble.

Yup. Canada seems to following the US model where each State behaves like it is its' own country.

The two provincial leaders of the least fiscally competent party in Canada have managed to get themselves into a trade war with... themselves. Seriously they're supposed to be on the same GD team. The level of incompetence is astounding. They both have historically brutal economic records and they've managed to make it even worse. No province can stand alone and be successful so now we're in an even worse place as we need chief fancy hair to step in and lead these two fools to an agreement but leading is so far out of repertoire it's just sad.

Both premiers are just playing to their bases. They both know that best case the pipeline is 10 years away from completion if ever. The savages and environmental nut jobs haven’t even started with the land claim challenges, court challenges, civil disobedience and destruction of equipment, etc.
Theyre both just acting the part to drum up support in their respective provinces because they both know they’re on very shaky ground politically. Neither one of them wants, supports or cares about the oil industry.

Kokanee is no longer a BC beer. Pretty sure it was bought by anhiser bush years back. If remember what the tour guide said anyways

 

[catalac]

Hopefully BC doesn’t ban snowmobilers from Alberta, (as much as the tree huggers would be pumped), lol.

 

[sick1]

If that happened i'd be buying some property in bc pretty damn fast

I actually didn't read the comments only saw the poll. Unfortunately, cant get 100% support but almost 2/3 support the pipeline.

Was reading a Facebook friends posts this morning as she manufactures a BC wine for the masses and she is twisted right up. Comments were hilarious as her friends just don't get it. They think Albertans are bullies for shutting down the wine pipeline. Well don't shut down our oil pipeline you half twits?

Dont make the mistake of thinking the B.C. government cares what the interior thinks...you guys are there for only one reason...to supply tax money for the improvement of the lower mainland, just like the rest of the province.

This has been the sad reality for 30+ years.

I have yet to see any where in the world where the mass population gets the shaft. Its always where the capital is or large population regions get favouritism.

True to a degree but seems particularly bad in B.C. the roads and infrastructure in the rest of B.C. are abysmal for the most part for a province as rich as B.C. And the transcanada through B.C. is a national disgrace.

Maybe if there was a way we could get more oil royalties we could fix that ****ty hwy...............

Or maybe the Greenies figure we won't be driving in 5 years......

 

[eclipse1966]

keep in mind the trans Canada is not a provincial jurisdiction its federal. But yes I will agree the roads are something to be desired.

The only part of the TCH that is federal runs thru the national parks. Everything else falls under provincial jurisdiction.
