I'll believe it when I see it.
Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending
- Thread starter Maxman1
- Start date
This is the only part that any Canadian politician (right or left) cares about: trade access to the US. Canadians only act when that is threatened. If Trump threatens to close the Northern border, we'll all be getting six figure retention cheques to boost defence spending immediately. And every new ACSV is going to come with gold plated cup holders.

They were following the legal process including environmental assessments and approvals. For projects like that take about 10-15 years.
Funny part is indigenous are now taking those agaisnt certain projects to court due to the delays and lost money.
even more so because of the road blocks the liberals, ndp and bloc have put in place through various bills.
OICs appear to do so.
It won't have to be if things are done properly.
There won't be many legal fights lasting that long. Most of the people fighting agaisnt these are either not from there, trying to make a name for themselves or paid activists, or a combination of all three.
One thing I have learned is a government can use a OIC to ram through any legislation they want.

Between 2011 and 2015, the Liberals and the NDP threw their support behind the dozens of lawsuits, pipeline injunctions, regulatory delays, inter provincial squabbling and basically did everything they could outside of Parliament to stop, hinder, obstruct, delay and otherwise interfere in resource development and especially oil sands development.
Where they all were conspicuously silent? Any resource development in Quebec and any acquisitions, developments, expansions, movements and change of control of CHINESE corporate mining interests in Gold, Oil, REM, Forestry and related technologies.

Perhaps you can enlighten us on what resource development occurred in Quebec between 2011 and 2015, because quite frankly, I missed it completely.
They approved a natural gas plant. The province put it off.
They also approved a very large cement plant with a lighting quick process
This is such a weird post. Are you suggesting the goverment in power is not responsible for getting things done? The complaint about Chinese influence is particularly weird given this:
Canada ratifies investment deal with China despite misgivings
Canada has finally ratified the contentious Foreign Investment Protection Agreement with China amid a series of recent tensions between the two countries that had placed Prime Minister Stephen Harper's scheduled Chinese visit this fall on tenterhooks.

You should blame the government in power when they screw up. That is true for the one in power today, the one that was in power a decade ago and the one that will be in power a decade from now. That's how accountability works.

I'll repeat what I said earlier. If you want to get it done, you get it done. You don't make excuses. Especially when you have a majority and can change legislation.
What does it say about Harper that Trudeau supposedly ratchetted up standards to "impossible" and still got TMX built?
This mindset is also why I don't buy that Trudeau is serious on housing, defence, etc. Has a virtual majority. Won't do what it takes. That's a choice.

Caught this in a broader poll on Canadian responses to government changes south of us - split bang down the middle overall when it comes to "should we spend more on defence or the same?"
angusreid.org
Here's how the survey was done .....
Trumped Again?: 66% of Canadians say a second GOP presidential term would be ‘bad’ or ‘terrible’ for Canada -
Most say economy would suffer, Canada-U.S. relationship would worsen; some Conservatives diverge July 23, 2024 – The U.S. presidential race was turned on its head by the Sunday news that current President Joe Biden had stopped his campaign for re-election and endorsed Vice President Kamala...

That is depressing. We will live up to our obligations and keep our word to our allies based upon the results of an opinion poll from 1435 citizens.Caught this in a broader poll on Canadian responses to government changes south of us - split bang down the middle overall when it comes to "should we spend more on defence or the same?"

Same caveats as with people who want referenda - asking a ton of people a question may not always give you the answer you want.
Also, more than one person around here has talked about how support for the military is a mile wide & an inch deep, so 50-50 may be a sign of hope that more than we thought might get it.
Also, if it’s any comfort, same survey showed a majority of Canadians support continuing to back UKR if Trump becomes president and makes a “peace for land” deal, so there’s that …
OP edit: Here's the take on the UKR aid if Trump does his one-day deal on UKR
Sharing this tidbit here ....

... based on the party breakdown re: supporting UKR if USA decides to stop funding & get a peace deal by getting UKR to give up land.
VERY specific what-if, but still interesting party vs. overall response.

Dude.
It is not the Government’s job to build pipelines.
That only became necessary once Trudeau and his merry band of “sunny ways misfits” poisoned the well. Under Harper, there were multiple private options on the table. Once Trudeau took over they all died.
How hard is this for you to follow the bouncing ball?
