@SportsAndStock1 @Polymarket Only the largest ships are 2M bbl. Most r 1. So we’re talking $2/bbl. Which is a 3% artificial markup that a terrorist country is charging to transit what was previously free and open. What’s to stop Turkey or Indonesia doing the same at their important points? This is a big deal
English
@Polymarket Are the oil executives really that worried about passing a couple pennies to customers? Do the math, Iran will charge $2,000,000 on a ship transporting oil which is $1 per barrel of oil. There are 42-55 gallons per barrel. So $1 is about two cents a gallon, folks.
English
JUST IN: Oil executives are reportedly pleading with Trump to reject any deal allowing Iran to charge tolls in the Strait of Hormuz.

@sarobertsonca “They need to look inwardly at why they didn’t pay me as much under the table as the liberals did”
English
Chris d'Entremont on Conservative Party reaction to floor crossings: "They seem to be blaming others for this challenge and not looking inwardly. They need to look inwardly."
English
@RiesebosC @sarobertsonca It was a system designed for men of honor, and is highly insufficient for today’s group of rat bastard politicians.
English
This is the first time in the last 50 years of the Westminster System where floor crossings resulted in a fundamental shift in the balance of Parliamentary Power. Without a single vote being cast. Clearly it has now been shown that the system can be used to circumvent democracy entirely.
When your government readily rejects “BY THE PEOPLE” by rendering your vote irrelevant, only fools would believe that that same government has any intent to govern “FOR THE PEOPLE”, and I cannot believe Canada has become a country where that even needs to be debated.
From my perspective, blaming @PierrePoilievre for any of this corrupt nonsense (the money trails and ulterior motives have been exposed) and lack of moral integrity is the equivalent of blaming a spouse for a cheating husband/wife. It say a lot about how far we’ve fallen as a society.
And @sarobertsonca, let me save you the effort of launching into some self-justifying defence about “voting for the candidate, not the party”. A picture is worth 1000 words.
English
@JJ_McCullough This is all true, but it’s because these moves are benefiting the liberals. If this was the conservatives none of the people making these bullshit arguments about “our system” would be doing so.
English
There’s a certain idea that you hear a lot from the Canadian media that basically any random ass undemocratic thing that happens in Canadian politics is perfectly fine because that’s just “our system” and you should shut up and accept it. The voter should be understood to have zero influence over anything of actual consequence in terms of who runs this country, while the politicians should get to do whatever they want. Because that’s “our system.”
I feel like a lot of this stuff has a very gaslighting quality to it. When people make these blunt “our system” arguments they’re basically telling Canadians to not trust their own instincts of right and wrong or just or unjust. They’re told “this is just the way things are done here and if you complain you’re an ignorant simpleton.”
These arguments are ALWAYS made in the direction of giving more power to politicians and less power to voters. I’m getting sick of it.

@Dan_Lap_ @JCJasmin3 @Anthony__Koch I’m very glad you’re working to leave, please double your efforts. When is the referendum? This year?
Multiculturalism does suck, you’re right about that. We definitely find you though, 13 billion dollars in equalization last year. Not remotely debtable.
English
I disagree completely. You think or pretend that you fund us, but we know damn well that’s not the case. We are actively working to split. I know you guys are terrified because you know that would be the beginning of the end of 🇨🇦. If it weren’t the case, you would let us leave. I understand you despair, but you will adapt. Good luck with your multiculturalism, it’s such a great success. The first post national state : no identity, no cohesion, no common culture, nothing but mercantilism.
English
Quebecers are the most conservative in that they have a clear view of their national identity and the primary political imperative is to conserve it.
All Qc politics since the Conquest of 1760 is: how do we survive this for another two generations?
Everything else is noise.
Anthony Koch@Anthony__Koch
Quebec is the most conservative province in the country properly understood. Too few people understand this because they think exclusively in economic terms.
English
@Dan_Lap_ @JCJasmin3 @Anthony__Koch No we definitely fund you guys.
This is a funny discussion because we both know you’re not actually gonna leave. You’d rather be the perpetually aggrieved minority than your own sovereign country. Like a spoiled child threatening to run away from home.
English
@Heavy_Oiler @JCJasmin3 @Anthony__Koch You mean like we give you 100$ so we get 110$ back, but you get to decide what to with it + add a 20$ administration fee.
Thanks but no thanks. You can keep it. We don’t need it.
English
@Dan_Lap_ @JCJasmin3 @Anthony__Koch Nope! We’ll be too busy deciding what to do with the 13 billion in annual equalization we no longer have to pay you. Bon voyage
English
@Heavy_Oiler @JCJasmin3 @Anthony__Koch Thanks for the encouragement! So I take it there won’t be any love parade this time around?
English
@thewarylemming @JJ_McCullough I’m sure you’d be saying the same thing if the conservatives got a majority with a bunch of liberal floor crossers lol.
If you’re too stupid to see how big of a breakdown down in democracy this is then that’s on you
English
@JJ_McCullough Knock it off. This is exactly how our system works and has always worked. Your side will now come out and tear down the system today which is the real danger to Canada and to our democracy. You and your rage farming are the danger, not floor crossings
English
And they can just lie. There’s literally no practical way for voters to ensure their MP won’t switch parties. Giving voters no say over the party identity of their MPs — the ONLY thing that determines who becomes prime minister — is very serious breakdown of Canadian parliamentary democracy.
Leon Milner@LeonMilner
@JJ_McCullough Folks will perhaps learn to ask their MP how loyal they are to their party prior to voting then?
English
@OutLibbed @JJ_McCullough If only there was some large, population wide sampling that could be done to determine which party her riding likes best to represent them…if only
English
@JJ_McCullough I doubt that politicians would be defecting to the Liberal Party without some level of support from their constituents. Her riding is especially vulnerable on the tariff issue and her constituents want a seat at the negotiating table.
English
This floor crossing BS is out of control. If MPs in this country can just change parties whenever they want, then voters truly have no control over who becomes prime minister and runs our government. The whole Canadian system is based on the premise that parties MATTER.

At this important moment for our country’s future, Canadians with a broad range of experience and perspectives are uniting to build Canada strong. I am honoured to welcome Marilyn Gladu today as the newest member of this government and our Liberal caucus. In a time of global economic uncertainty, Canada’s success will depend on how we build ambition into progress and strengths into sustained advantage. Marilyn brings the practical, results-driven leadership this effort demands. Having spent decades of her career in engineering and international business, she understands what it takes to create good jobs, strengthen supply chains, and ensure Canadian industry can compete in a rapidly changing global economy. She has been elected by the people of Sarnia—Lambton–Bkejwanong in four straight elections since 2015, and repeatedly earned recognition from colleagues across Parliament for her proven willingness to work constructively across party lines. I’m looking forward to working closely with Marilyn to build a stronger and more independent Canadian economy, meeting the challenges of a changing world with lasting opportunities for all.

@JCJasmin3 @Heavy_Oiler @Anthony__Koch They should know better nowadays. The only solution to the survival of our culture and identity is independence. Even economically we will be better off. 🇨🇦 would be the looser. They know it. That’s why they will desperately try to prevent it. Vive le Québec libre!!! #PaysQuébec

@Goparticul59290 @JCJasmin3 @Anthony__Koch 60-40 isn’t a very high split for a supposed existential issue.

@TylerSutton86 @crunchyrugger None of that is relevant or even a good argument. Looks like you’re the retard. Sounds like you’re also a phag hat as well, tough luck
English
@Heavy_Oiler @crunchyrugger Hey retard.
They can chant death to America for 50 fucking years, but Trump says a whole civilation will die tonight to mock them, and you lose your mind and defend the Iran regime??
He played you retards good!!

Trump: do as I say, or I will bomb you back to the stone ages
Iran: best I can do is this 10 point plan where you give us everything we want
Trump: deal!
FoxNews: Trump is a master negotiator
English
@TylerSutton86 @crunchyrugger It’s looking that way, yes. Have you seen this list? What objective did you guys accomplish? Two weeks ago Trump was saying Iran needs to unconditionally surrender and now he’s calling a list where they can keep enriching U a good starting point. Cmon man open your eyes
English
@TylerSutton86 @crunchyrugger No one’s losing their mind and no one’s defending Iran. Just facts bro. Iran’s ten wish list is pretty outrageous, shouldn’t be a basis for negotiating, but they had control of the strait and Trump had no option but to capitulate.

@davidharsanyi @willrayvalentin Then why did Trump stop hitting them? Why did he call their 10 pt plan that is everything they want and hasn’t changed from the beginning a good place to start from? Their entire navy?? You mean like two jetboats? Get real dude. Trump capitulated as he had to, this was a disaster
English
Other than losing their entire navy, air force, a few strata of political leadership, top military minds, over 1,000 senior IRGC and Basij commanders, air defense and radar sites, numerous scientists, ballistic missile stockpiles and most launchers, drone and missile factories, proxies, etc.. Iran has the upper hand.
English
@Pounchguy @Anthony__Koch I know you tried twice. I’m saying if the issue was actually so existential for the province of Quebec as a whole you wouldn’t have failed twice. With no animosity I say I hope third times the charm, both entities would be better off without the other but you guys won’t.
English
@Heavy_Oiler @Anthony__Koch We tried twice buddy and every time there was collusion from the Canadian government to fuck with the vote
English
In 1995, 60% of ethnic Québecois voted for independence.
The only reason the referendum failed was because of ethnic minority voters (like my parents and grandparents etc).

@JCJasmin3 @Anthony__Koch If this was true, wouldn’t the referenda have passed in overwhelming numbers?
