Liberal Minority Government 2021 - 2025

[Remius]

Latest aggregate. A bit of a spike in LPC fortunes in popular vote and seat allocations putting them well in opposition party status. If I wear a betting man I bet they see another spike next week as the whole tariff thing isn’t represented her yet.

And new Mainstreet poll for Ontario only…

This would explain PP looking to shift his message.

Can't win without ontario, if the CPC keep losing their lead in Ontario then we could be looking at a CPC minority gov or even another liberal minority gov.

Thanks for posting the link, I appreciated the poll by poll breakdown.

Keep dreaming

I think you grossly misunderstand my political allegiance. I'm simply pointing out facts that without the Ontario vote, you will not form a majority government, and with first past the post, 4% is enough that the liberals can hold on.

 

[Quirky]

even another liberal minority gov.

….with another 4 year confidence agreement with the NDP. This will be an excellent choice to completely bulldoze this country into taxation and inflationary hell. Can we please make Freeland the PM as icing on the cake?

How’s Team Canada doing? This is how:

Really energy east can stay dead, if we put a port in say Churchill, it only adds a day to a day and a half for ships. Which is peanuts in the grand scheme.

 

[ArmyRick]

This is typical Liberal behaviour. Gaslighting and Vassey calls it out hard

 

[Rifleman62]

Premier Legault, when questioned about pipelines following the announcement of a 30-day suspension of tariffs, stated that there is no intention to revive the Energy East project.

If that's what Quebec wants, then analyze how much of the equalization payments Quebec gets from all sources of the oil and gas industry and deduct that from the payments.
There is "no socially acceptability " reason to give Quebec dirty money.

The route out of Hudson Bay has too much ice for too long. And tankers would need to dodge icebergs in the short open ice season.

So when is the federal government going to announce retaliatory trade restrictions on Quebec in response to Quebec's attack on our economic export potential?

 

[Remius]

Just get it to the Great Lakes if QC isn’t interested. Ford said he’s be willing to enable an eastern pipeline.

Most of the ice is fresh ice, which even the AOPS can break, this would give us justification to build a coast guard or naval station in Churchill for the Arctic, keeping breakers there year round to keep the path open for ships. It would also take years to get set up which by then the new ice breakers Davie is building should be coming online.

Still can't get it to tide water. The St Lawrence locks won't handle the length of ocean going tankers.

The cost of shipment is then likely getting close to not feasible. And the added risk of ice and icebergs make this not a good option.

The main point of "Energy East" is to get product to eastern Canada, not to ship abroad from there.

Emphasis for international export neither to nor through the US should be directed to west coast facilities.

Apparently Quebec has Natural Gas reserves that it's choosing to remain untapped and instead imports.

Chapter 5 – Natural Gas in Quebec

• If Quebec used natural gas instead of electricity for heating, this would free up a large amount of electricity that would facilitate the electrification of other sectors of the economy.
• In 2018, Quebec imported $13.8 billion of fossil fuels. Local gas consumption for the year, at around six billion m3, represented over $1 billion of this amount.
• Reducing CO2 and methane emissions in Quebec by refusing to produce natural gas locally, all while consuming natural gas produced abroad—which produces even more harmful emissions—does nothing to improve the global balance sheet.
• Quebec’s CO2 emissions measured on the basis of annual production, some 10 t of CO2 equivalent per person, are much lower than the Canadian average. However, if we consider Quebec’s emissions based on consumption, they are closer to 15 t per person annually, due to the importation of carbon-intensive products, especially oil and natural gas.
• Quebec’s recoverable reserves of natural gas, concentrated in the southern part of the St. Lawrence Valley, are estimated to be between 250 billion m3 and 1,150 billion m3. At the current rate of consumption, Quebec would have sufficient reserves for at least 40 years.
• Given the network of gas pipelines that already exists in southern Quebec, developing the natural gas reserves under the ground in the province would require the construction of few new gas pipelines.
• However, since the start of the past decade, exploration of potential natural gas deposits in the St. Lawrence Valley has been subject to a series of moratoriums and bans.
• By importing its natural gas, Quebec “hides” the emissions that result from its consumption, for which it is ultimately responsible. In other words, we blame American and Western Canadian producers for our pollution.

Quebec Natural Gas could supply both Quebec and the Maritimes which would both reduce our NG imports and provide Canadian NG supplies for the Eastern part of the country. The West could focus on exporting Westward to supply the growing Asian markets.

The more I think about it, the more I agree. Quebec's future is too risky to trust with a matter of national strategic importance.
