So what you are saying is he reversed many of the Liberals policies that got them voted in for the past 10 years and kept the Conservatives out. Now he is implementing those changes and his voter base is happy. Makes one wonder how their supporters have not realized the liberals wasted...

A few of my friends and Co-Workers were just discussing this the other day. Where a person can write, read and understand English but they can not speak it. Or any combination of them. It makes it difficult when the assessments are not in person. Two places I have worked have now gone to In...

200km of road through the north make it happen. It is about time for action and not just words. They have been talking about this since I was a little kid and have done little to nothing to make it happen. Nor to upgrade the rail line going north. Oil and gas can ramp up and down production...

There are talks about building a pipeline to the area. If they built one LNG and one Oil pipeline. Then build the storage facilities to load those products. Then fix up the rail line and road. You would have a great shipping setup. Similar to what they Do in Prince Rupert. You need a little...

That's pretty ambitious to assume we have spare crews :ROFLMAO:

It's called trying to let them have their spot light without causing a large civil disobedience. Politics 101 and negotiating 102. Let them have their say, let them go through the process and then you can say maybe next time.

You mean this report https://www.elections.ab.ca/uploads/abebc_2026_rpt_final.pdf How do you figure they are a separatist party, especially from the article? They have some people who align with the separatist group, as I would suspect does the ndp. The UCP has been in support of Sovereignty...

They often fill up the storage facilities during the warm season, It can work.

You can not compare what can happen for something this is currently not happening. If Churchill gets the actual go ahead and actual funding and actual support to maintain the seaways/ roads/ pipeline/rail line. Then I would suspect shipping traffic will increase in the artic zone significantly...

It is a great question. I know of more then a few Engineers who when in school studied highspeed rail services in Canada. Often they stated similar results. Operational cost prohibitive to provide a service for the population density. Cost prohibitive to build due to other infrastructure and...

I would have to ask who was consulting in those projects. I know a few had "experts" from over seas. When things did not go as planned they used the phrase the ground is different here then back home. I wonder if it is the same or similar consulting agency who were trying to build "MOATs" aka...

If one was into making railways (money) and you have the potential for one of the largest projected projects going forward (aka free government money) on the books you would be sought after by those who like to make money. With the talks for decades about high speed services not just in Upper/...

Depends on what one considers large. LNG Canada Kitimat project was funded to the tune of $40billion of private/ investor funds. The Government funded $275million for (energy efficient) turbines and replacing a bridge. Transmountain Pipeline was a Non Government company that walked away...

True but if we can provide reliable oil and gas to the world then prices can stabilize. Oil for weapons program, cheaper oil (embargo oil mixed in), tanker contracts, Bombardier and SNC to name a few reasons. Embargo oil mixed with legit oil from the ME.

Western Canada does not need any oil from the middle east. Eastern Canada would not need oil from the Middle east if we built another pipeline East. Add two pipelines and we can ship to Europe also. But I would not like to see what Irving Oil would do if that ever happened. Nor those who are...
