"Alberta has every right to decline a request to assist with the implementation of the buyback program. The feds devised this idea and they are the ones who are obligated to figure out the logistics. It’s not Alberta’s problem to solve."

@redsnoopy69 The Koch Brothers are enemies to Canadian oil & gas. The CPC is NOT for the Koch Brothers.
English
The Fraser Institute is a libertarian think tank.
Charles Koch owner of Koch Industries 15th richest person in the world is a big supporter (funder)
He really appreciates it when Canadian politicians such as Pierre Poilievre share his messaging.
The CPC is for Koch Industries.

“We get in our own way,” he said, then listed a few problems: “A political quagmire that requires a crisis to make decisions”; “layers of regulation”; “permit & consultation that take ages to complete”; “Canada is one of the most highly taxed economies.."

should be paying off any day now.

"At the end of last year, overall fossil fuels represented 81% of energy consumption. 10 years ago, they were at 82%," says Jeff Currie. "$3.8 trillion of investment in renewables moved fossil fuels from 82% to 81% of the overall energy consumption."

The Liberals' policies have undermined Canada's #energy security and prosperity. A new #Conservative government will correct the course.
Pierre Poilievre@PierrePoilievre
Trudeau’s anti-development policies are destroying our working class & driving energy production to dirty dictatorships. Every time he blocks a mine, kills a pipeline or raises taxes on a factory, dictators around the world do a victory dance as he hands them power & money.
English
@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen So, if NG was never going to happen, why did Trudeau need C48? And why just in northern BC, and not elsewhere in Canada?
English
@CalgaryRugbyDad @1223Chuck @BobBenzen Trudeau had literally nothing to do with NGP’s failure. He euthanized it after the courts dealt it the fatal blow.
Poilievre repealing C-48 will, as I showed you, have no bearing on anything.

Parliament will vote on Conservative motion today:
"That, given the cost of govt is driving up inflation, making the price of goods Cdns buy & the interest they pay unaffordable, this House call on the govt to commit to no new taxes on gas, groceries, home heating & pay cheques."
English
@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen I am talking hypotheticals if we hadn’t had Trudeau and so did not have C48. It could have been very different. Partnering with FNs would have been key.
English
@CalgaryRugbyDad @1223Chuck @BobBenzen I’m pointing out facts you’d rather not acknowledge. If you need to run away from that, fill your boots.

@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen Max, why do you keep trying to put words in my mouth which I never said? This is a waste of time. Ciao.
English
@CalgaryRugbyDad @1223Chuck @BobBenzen That's 2025. So you're asking someone to risk billions of dollars of capital in the most challenging legal environment around on a project that will have to contend with declining demand for oil?
Good luck with that.
English
@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen Nobody is saying it will be easy. But with C48, it became impossible. Good thing Poilievre would repeal C48 if the Conservatives win.
English
@CalgaryRugbyDad @1223Chuck @BobBenzen Nobody is risking capital on a new oil pipeline through unceded Indigenous territory in BC unless you have unanimous support for it -- and best of luck with that.
Enbridge had its shot, and it blew it. Not because of Ottawa or regulations, but because of the law.
English
@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen I am not saying anything about ignoring the legal terrain. We need to be working with Indigenous and other key groups to be able to get our much-needed oil and LNG to key foreign markets such as in Asia.
English
@CalgaryRugbyDad @1223Chuck @BobBenzen Sure. But ignoring the legal terrain there (a mistake Enbridge made, by the way) is a fatal error. You can't do it. And it cost Enbridge billions.
English
@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen EE just to make the point that politics very much factors in Canada. As to NG, I am talking about the economic rationale, and the impact on global markets; it would have actually been better than TMX.
English
@CalgaryRugbyDad @1223Chuck @BobBenzen Northern Gateway: insufficent and inadequate consultation, as clearly described by the courts. Given the legal terrain there, that was always a fraught project -- even without Enbridge's bumbling incompetence.
Why are we doing EE if you acknowledge it wasn't possible?
English
@maxfawcett @1223Chuck @BobBenzen Now do Northern Gateway, and Energy East. I say this knowing NG was possible, and EE wasn’t (because of Quebec).
English
@1223Chuck @BobBenzen TMX, the first oil pipeline to Pacific tidewater in 60-plus years, is being built and funded by Ottawa.
LNG Canada, the biggest energy project in Canadian history, benefited from huge federal subsidies.
In other words: huh?

Who is opening the scoring for us tonight?
Use the hashtag #Flames1stGoal with your guess for a chance to win tickets to our Oct. 7 pre-season game vs. the Jets!

@bal4_rednirus @sylviajh14 @jkenney @narendramodi It makes no sense to have the LNG facilities in Alberta. They should all be on the coast, in BC, with the nat gas coming from BC, AB, and SK.
English
English
When I first met @narendramodi 15 years ago, he asked how quickly we could get Canadian LNG to Asia.
Korean leaders asked me the same question on my recent trade mission.
Shamefully, Canada let green politics & red tape kill multiple LNG projects.

@bal4_rednirus @mssbriss @jkenney @narendramodi It wasn’t that. It was greed. Christy Clark made the terms too tough, and so the capital went elsewhere. The unreliable regulatory environment didn’t help, along with indigenous issues.
English
@CalgaryRugbyDad @mssbriss @jkenney @narendramodi The BC Liberals and federal Conservatives don't have the ability to get the deal done. The BCNDP and federal Liberals sat down with the indigenous people of the province and got the deal done.
English
@bal4_rednirus @mssbriss @jkenney @narendramodi Yup, but at least Harper didn’t go out of his way to kill pipelines (which is what Trudeau has done). And where LNG is concerned, Christy Clark is the reason we don’t have much more going forward in BC.

@jkenney @CalgaryRugbyDad @narendramodi BC is building three LNG plants and two oil and gas pipelines to the Pacific.
