@westernproducer So you’re saying in hot climates around the world the bees don’t “buzz”…….

@MelissaMbarki Maybe the RCMP should target cbc employees and harass them😄
Oh the outrage there would be if that happened to CBC employees about being targeted.
English
Was the safety of these individuals considered? You're inviting them onto a program under false pretenses and placing a target on their backs. These conversations are contentious and will draw in a lot of anger and maybe that's what this show was intending to do.
This isn't a left or right argument. It's just wrong!

@Styles1__ @LeMelatonin @FoodProfessor All our governments across Canada have forgotten what a budget is. Ever since “budgets balance themselves” has given an out from being responsible.
English
@LeMelatonin @lbossaer @FoodProfessor Even with Alberta Equalization payments Quebec is having problems?
English
"So Quebec is eliminating its sales tax on food, and some people are actually angry about it. How many countries can you think of where taxpayers get upset when a government eliminates a tax — any tax? Canada is in a strange place right now when it comes to the role of government."

@FoodProfessor @Styles1__ They just need to wait for another transfer cheque to pay their debt 😂
English
@Styles1__ Some believe the money should be kept to pay the debt.

@JeanLotochinski @PaulStewartII You know that isn’t true but OK keep it up.

@lbossaer @PaulStewartII Private businesses are driven by profits, which is why they pulled out. Unless you have another theory?
English
TMX is often used as proof that Ottawa blocked Alberta. The record shows the opposite. Ottawa approved TMX in 2016. Private capital stepped back in 2018, well after federal approval was already in place.
Canada then bought the project, organized delivery through Trans Mountain Corporation, carried the risk, addressed the legal and consultation delays, corrected the process failures, and delivered Alberta’s pipeline to tidewater.
It did so after the 2014 oil-price collapse, in a lower-price era, as climate risk and competing energy technologies became more central to investment decisions.
Canada did not block Alberta’s pipeline to tidewater.
Canada delivered it.

@JeanLotochinski @PaulStewartII You know why private business pulled out……you just refuse to accept it.
English
@lbossaer @PaulStewartII Private business pulled out of the TMX and the government stepped up. What’s complicated about private business? Pretty self explanatory
English
@JeanLotochinski @PaulStewartII Actually no. Might be hard for you to understand private business though.
Plus it’s not mine as I live in Sask
English
@lbossaer @PaulStewartII Had they “stayed the hell out of the way” you would still not have a pipeline to tidewater.
English
@kennethdavid @C_Mulroney Yup there are many others……and many are proof of why we should stop doing this.
English
@lbossaer @C_Mulroney So you too are interested in seeing whether another Mulroney takes up the mantle?
If they do, they will still need to be elected. Just like the McGuinty brothers. Just like the Ford Brothers. I can name many others.

Yesterday, I informed Premier Ford of my decision to resign from Cabinet and from my seat in the Ontario Legislature, effective June 5.
To Premier Ford, to the people of York-Simcoe, to Ontario’s Francophone community, to the York-Simcoe PC riding association, to my Caucus and Cabinet colleagues, to my constituency and ministerial teams, to the Ontario Public Service and my family – thank you.
English
@kennethdavid @C_Mulroney Absolutely not. We don’t need any more silver spooned kids in power because of their name.
There are mat bright people in Canada. We just have to be smarter as voters and not pick names, good looks or smooth talkers and start picking smart peoplw.
English
@C_Mulroney Thank you for your service to Ontarians. I look forward to seeing whether another Mulroney takes up the mantle.
English
@JeanLotochinski @PaulStewartII That’s the difference between the west and the east. East figures throw gov money (our money) at it and create huge cost overruns and that is somehow “support”. West believes in creating the environment for development and investment and stay the hell out of the way.
English
@PaulStewartII I don’t understand how building a way to get your products to market can be con considered “blocking”
English
Did it go great- No
Did we have fun- No
Did it get done quick- no
Did we do it properly- I dont know
Will we do it again- yes

Toronto's housing situation is a calamity. Which makes this relevant:
1. Despite a $120,000 family income, @oliviachow lived in the publicly-subsidized Hazelburn co-op in Toronto and paid $800 a month for a three bedroom + den unit.
2. According to the co-op, she should have been paying hundreds more.
3. Thousands of people were on the waiting lists for the kinds of units Chow occupied. She moved out shortly after getting caught by the media.
4. All of that is verifiably true. And it is considered so damaging, Chow's campaign has done secret focus group research on what to say about it.
5. That's who Chow is.

This lady, Trudeau, Freeland and Guilbeault should never be allowed to use the words “basic economics” in their vocabulary. It’s basic economics that were missed in their terms. Actually their are many politicians that should not be allowed to speak those terms.
Catherine McKenna@cathmckenna
Fact: Renewables are cleaner, cheaper, better than fossil fuels. It’s not just a climate issue, it’s basic economics. And Manitobans are paying a very high price for wildfires fuelled by climate change.
English
@dipbrat70 @TheVotersSay If you can’t understand why all happened with this one then I guess it makes sense where your thought process is at.
English
@TheVotersSay Why would Trudeau put in regulations that he knew would kill the project only to turn around and complete the project?
That makes no sense.

"Justin Trudeau's anti-Alberta, anti-energy policies" included building a pipeline at taxpayers' expense, nearly doubling Alberta's crude oil exports to the Pacific. globalnews.ca/news/11723807/…
Scott Robertson@sarobertson_
Danielle Smith: "Justin Trudeau's anti-Alberta, anti-energy policies became a national embarrassment, one of several that ultimately cost him his prime ministership. The leave it in the ground NDP led by Jagmeet Singh was electorally annihilated and the federal Liberals led by their new leader, PM Mark Carney, adopted most of Alberta's positions on energy and resource development."
English
@acoyne I am going to love the next time Quebec pulls their usual separation talk to see how all these journalists lash out at Quebec.
Let’s see which journalists have integrity and which ones are just told how to think.
English
"Its" wealth?
Among the most absurd assumptions in this whole surreal debate is the idea that Alberta, in the vanishingly unlikely event that it was ever permitted to detach itself from Canada, would depart with its entire current territory — including the parts with the oil.
There is zero possibility of this, and even less legitimacy to it. The provinces control natural resources under the constitution of Canada — but under the constitution of Canada, and as provinces of Canada. The minute they cease to be under the constitution, they cease to enjoy any of its guarantees.

We really live in a world where politicians can spend billions of dollars and not have to be accountable for it…..and just retire and not have to answer for it.
Imagine the good all the misspent money could do for our environment😄
Catherine McKenna@cathmckenna
We really live in a petrostate where rich oil and gas companies have convinced politicians that fossil fuels are better than renewables - even though regular people are paying more to fuel their cars & heat their homes and the fossil fuel climate crisis is accelerating. Bonkers.

@DarkMar23104835 @MelissaMbarki @JeremyAppel1025 lol you know the answer but choose to have you head in the sand.

@MelissaMbarki @JeremyAppel1025 How were they alienated? Please be specific and don't use vacuous right-wing talking points

I didn’t realize BC had scheduled a referendum on whether to have an independence referendum.
Melissa Mbarki@MelissaMbarki
Our country won't work if BC refuses to work with the rest of Canada. There's only one province that is behaving like a separatist and it isn't Alberta.

@sarobertson_ Anyone complaining about Ab that hasn’t complained for years about Qc is a hypocrite
English
Adrian Dix: "It's disappointing that to internally unite the right in Alberta people will play double or nothing with the country ... sometimes the federal government makes decisions I don't like either. But I don't think Canadians believe that you should put the country at stake because of that. I think it's shocking."
English
@Bill1780661 @kinsellawarren I know most people can’t see their hypocrisy in their outrage for Alberta.
English
@lbossaer @kinsellawarren That didn't work at all, If you were trying to make a point.
English
Sad to see this go. But Alberta isn't the Alberta I grew up in. And it's definitely not strong and free - paranoid and mean-spirited, more like . "Alberta ditching ‘Wild Rose Country’ on welcome signs in favour of ‘Strong and Free’ | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/11857606/… "
