Polievre? Of course, he is my choice for next PM. And he is making sense. Has been for years. You need to do a bit more reading if you think he in any way supports what Trudeau has been doing to our country. And no, Trump's typical rants are not grounds for hatred. They are just Trump being Trump. Learn to separate the noise from the message. Most smart economists recognize that fact. Our media is the same- have to separate the noise from the message. The noise is "oh noes, here comes the Bad Orange Man to take over our country!!" and the message is "vote Liberal".

In spite of Trudeau, not because of Trudeau. He cancelled the Northern Gateway pipeline, regulated Energy East into the ground, etc. Getting our oil to market via our own country has been a concern long before Trump won his FIRST election. And Trudeau sabotaged it. It is nothing new. I have a feeling that you don't consume much Canadian media. I do. And the level of paranoia and pearl clutching is staggering. Much like the US, the major networks lean left. Unlike the US, we also have a government run network that is even more blatantly biased and is in fear that their funding will be cut if the Liberals are out of government.

THAT'S your answer? "They always bitch and moan..."? Trudeau is the guy who promised to phase out the oil industry. Requires them to reach zero emissions and also increased tax on carbon. He lamented that he couldn't shut down our oil sands "tomorrow". He cares more about his image with his Davos friends than about the prosperity of the Canadian people.

You need to read beyond the headlines, my friend. The article notes the following; Relations between Canada’s energy sector and the federal government have been rocky in recent years, with the industry accusing the government of imposing a de facto production cap by setting what companies say are unrealistic and unachievable climate targets. and The CAOEC also called Friday for the federal government to abandon specific policies the oil and gas sector believes will put Canada’s energy sector at a disadvantage to its U.S. competition under a Trump administration.

The problem is both. They are not new issues, nothing to do with Trump. The current government has simply been ignoring them. Plus the lack of refinery capacity to turn crude oil into useful products. And the federal government's hostility towards fossil fuels.
-
The current government has been anti-oil since they arrived. Kind of suspicious timing that they suddenly are so much in favour of it now. It is no surprise that Canadians want more options regarding exports, that is only common sense. The fearmongering is all the hand-wringing about Trump invading, making Canada the 51st state, all that nonsense. The common refrain of the left in Canada is "oh no, the Conservatives will bring in American style (insert issue here)". Hence the Liberals now trying to distract people the same way.
-
Of course, it is only logical. But the ideas have been around for years and he refused to consider them. Instead, he went balls in on 'green energy'. Also tried to usurp the provinces in their control of natural resources. Made it near impossible to open a refinery or LNG terminal. And now suddenly, he is Mr. Energy. What a load of horse hockey.
-
Of course Trudeau is not running. But he IS trying to save his party from abject defeat in the upcoming election. He is trying the well-used Liberal trick of fearmongering about the USA. And also trying to pave the way for his crony Mark Carney to win the leadership of the party and then the Prime Ministership.

One from Alberta west to British Columbia, called the Northern Gateway. Another across the country east to New Brunswick, called Energy East. One problem is that Canada's main pipeline producers like Enbridge are reluctant to take part, they got burned before in a maze of over^regulation and delays.
-
Canada is catching the "drill baby drill" fever too, suddenly. Trudeau is pretending to be afraid of an American takeover, and is suddenly advocating new pipelines, new drilling, even more nuclear power. Obviously trying to make our next election about Trump instead of about himself. It is a good idea really. Would you rather buy oil from democratic countries, or the head hackers in the Middle East? LNG from Russia or from Canada? Oil isn't going away any time in the near future.

$4 million for LGBT causes in Macedonia. $8 million for DEI education in Nepal. $2 million for sex change operations in Guatemala. Tell me the American taxpayer should be on the hook for any of this. Hell, USAID was even giving money to the BBC! Shut it down, a quick savings of nearly $50 billion which could alternately be spent in AMERICA to help Americans.
-
Yeah, except Israel didn't grab Gaza. They actually gave it BACK in 2005 I believe. And this is the result. You know, you need to think about exactly WHY the 22 Arab countries in the world are so reluctant to accept Palestinians as refugees or migrants.

Thanks, but we need an apology from a fckstain like George Conway the way a hemmorhoid needs a pimple. We will be fine once we eject the Liberals and Trudeau from power. They have been messing up my country for nearly 10 years wit their vacuous, mind-bendingly stupid policies.It IS sad that it took Trump to awaken the moribund sense of patriotism and nationalism that have been dormant. Embarrasing, frankly. But if it leads to better governance and prosperity, then so be it.

IT's interesting that the news broadcasts in Canada these days are showing stories of illegals being stopped and arrested, RCMP planes using infrared and the like to monitor the border, etc. Plus drug busts and the like. Hopefully future Prime Minister Pierre Polievre is calling for life in prison for fentanyl traffickers. All this should have been happening years ago. But it took Trump to light a fire under the moribund idiots that run Canada these days.

Those panties are really bunching up in a very uncomfortable way, aren't they? You still think booing at sporting events is the best way to express policy disagreements? How about you listen to actual Canadians instead of indulging in your conspiracy theory fueled ranting...

Is moving to Cambodia really the end of the line?

There are no warlike threats, grow up. As for being wildly unpopular, Trump's approval rating is hovering around 47% In Canada, polling shows that more than 40% of young Canadians would take an American passport. Also more than 40% think we don't need to take him seriouslly about this. https://www.ipsos.com/en-ca/43-percent-canadians-would-vote-be-american-if-citizenship-and-conversion-assets-usd-guaranteed But your comments about booing at sports events and the like are rather silly. Much like government run liquor stores removing bourbon and Budweiser from the shelves. All performance and no depth.

Well, since his baby left him, he had no place to dwell. Viva Siem Reap!
