Frosty vs soft cone.....now there's something to fight over.

What if you add in the 17cents/litre cut in taxes to gas over a year? Do we hit over 400$/yr combined for the average family?

Lets see. It helps, but while Canadians save, we have to set the conditions for massive success.

The biggest problem I see with Carney Liberals is trying to please everyone and getting nothing done.

Look at pipelines. That alone represents the rest of the resource sector. I suspect he wants to really open those up but does not want to piss off the greenies/commies/quebecois portion of the Liberal base.

The whole debacle with EV mandate 2035 (starts in 2026), his team is not meeting this head on and getting ahead of it. They won't change the laws but I assure you as we see with the massive EV failures, Canadians will NOT give up ICE vehicles by 2035.

I will have to expand this list later.

I really think the way forward for Mark Carney is to once and for all ditch the holdover Trudeau loyalist/inner circle and their way of thinking, build the resource sector on the whole with NO half baked limits, for real cut the fat on public sector employment (offer them hiring into the CAF or the RCMP), he can do all this under "the context of Trump's shadow on the nation"... It would be the perfect scape goat to lose the shitty parts of the old LPC mindset.

We are talking about less than 1/2 dozen of these 'nation building' projects.

Let's be realistic here, the coffers don't have enough silver (sold the gold off a long time ago) coins in it to fund less than a handful of these sort of projects over the next 2-5yrs in addition to increasing the CAF funding. Its not going to be 8-15 'nation building' projects in the 10-20+ billion dollar range.

Some people are merely seeking the microphone simply to hear the sound of their own voices. When I'm on a Zoom call at work, I know when certain people start to talk I can go on mute and go off and brew a cup of tea, find the biscuits, let the dog out for a pee and come back to them still blathering about something of no value. The same is happening here.

It doesn't have to be cash.

Like any decent corporation it can be financed with debt.

Assuming of course there is also a profitable revenue stream.

We have lots of gold, silver, nickle, copper and diamonds in the ground. As well as lithium, carbon and potash.

EDIT:

60 litres of gas a week for say 50 weeks of the year = 3,000 liters X .17 cents = 510$/yr in savings. Add in the 280, you gest 790$/yr.

It will be pointless to save that kind of money if a 3 bedroom house cost $1 million + or steaks at the grocery store cost over $100 each.

A nefariously minded individual of machiavellian bent might be inclined to use those divisions to claim legitimacy rather than leave it all up to the other side to claim they argue for everyone.

except I am afraid that he thinks exactly the same way. His history shows total opposition to petroleum products. If he was truly trying to improve things for Canadians he would have dropped the entire carbon tax and he would have pulled the restrictions on north Pacific tanker traffic.

Fair point
