This guy sure is something.

Wife of terror group ‘member’ backed by public safety minister does not live in his riding: documents​

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree’s claim that he was helping a constituent when he lobbied federal officials to let a terrorist group “member” resettle in Canada is contradicted by documents on the case, a Global News investigation has found.

In defending letters he wrote before he joined cabinet that urged border security officials to approve the immigration application of a suspected member of the Tamil Tigers, Anandasangaree has said he assisted the man’s Canadian wife as an MP.

“That a constituent, a Canadian citizen, with a Canadian child, would want to reunite her family in Canada is not unusual,” Anandasangaree said in a July 14 statement explaining the letters he penned in 2016 and 2023.

Standby for another statement from Carney saying he still has confidence in him.

Possible
Or he could be the first to be turfed

did they let him in? is my question. Did a lowly civil servant have the unmitigated gall to rule against a member of the government. If he\she did they deserve on of those bonuses they hand out to the senior ranks/poets.

Fingers crossed, but wouldn’t bet this is THE straw breaking the camel’s back. Love to be wrong though.

Oh no, no no no good sir...

Every single day this Liberal government stays in power I am forced to really expand my visceral understanding of just how fucked something can be really get.

Personally, I kinda wanna see just how absolutely f**ked this camels back can actually get before it "breaks"



(I say "breaks" because if we time traveled back to the 1990's or even the first decade of the 2000's, and we compared the level of competence & professionalism from then to our government of now, I think we would mostly agree things have gotten progressively worse. I think the camel's back broke a while ago...)



I'm at the stage now where I'm just eating popcorn and watching the whole thing play out like I'm at a dinner theater

Wasn't sure where to put this. But the thread on our current parliamentary make up seemed relevant.

Makes sense. It’s there, it’s built, it’s already successfully expanded on its current footprint, it’s not running at capacity yet but it’s getting there… This is a logical project to look at to introduces efficiencies to what’s already there. If they can put more oil through the same pipe, great.

Make it happen

Question is? What happens if industry says no?

Have you ever known industry to say no to money, or the potential to money?

Then they say no. This isn’t about building a new pipe, it’s about building infrastructure to insert additives to the oil at the point of departure so it flows faster with less friction, and I would assume remove the same at the other end. This isn’t some big government sponsored infrastructure cost, it’s an upgrade on existing stuff where they need to assess if it’s worth the CAPEX to do it. That’s mostly a business decision.

I was more thinking the political impact of saying no, it would kind of blunt alberta premiere Smith demanding more projects if industry is saying, na we good for now. After all this seems like a simple and very quick project of adding additives to the pipeline.
