Did the FES account for DJT undoing decades of trade liberalization, the need to hit NATO spending targets, etc? Did it have the tax cuts PP was demanding?

Sitiations change. There's more that could and should have been cut. The deficit should be lower. But PP's proposal was theatre.

of course it was theatre. When was the last time that the governing party accepted an amendment on a money bill?

Let the posturing commence!

Les Leyne: B.C. premier says he has 'zero desire' to talk northern pipeline​

David Eby ratcheted up the emphasis on his hard “No” to a northern B.C. oil pipeline with support from coastal First Nation leaders concerned about the threat oil shipping would pose.

BC will protect the north coast tooth and nail, so lets explore other options

BC is looking to the PM for alot of help right now, so I can imagine what that conversation will look like

Hudson Bay via Churchill?

Hudson Bay via Churchill?

Sure? Or the great lakes, another line to the lower mainland, heck whats the chances of getting a pipeline across the waters to the island and exporting out of Victoria or another spot?

Supposition: companies and businesses have less TFW's to push around and take advantage of. They have to hire Canadians they can't as easily abuse.

The more time passes without the world ending after Trump's tariff binge started, the more economic confidence people regain. This could all be up-ended again if the people predicting another cliff (eg. after pre-tariff inventories are exhausted) are correct. But of course a lot of earlier predictions have not materialized in the time expected.

Every piece of coast on earth has an ecosystem. This isn't about protecting a particular piece of coast because it's special; this is about caving to demands of particular constituents who live in the area and figure everything dirty needed to make Canada work and deliver benefits to everyone including themselves should be in someone else's back yard.

For the people complaining Pierre is too much of an attack dog, wake up.

So is Larry Brock, Michelle RG, Michael Barrett, Michael Cooper, Andrew Scheer, Melissa Lantsman. Just to name a few. Yes Pierre is the lead attack dog but he leads a pack of attack dogs. Or we could use another term, like opposition, ohh wait, thats what they are.

Basically, many of us view Liberals complaining about Pierre "being an attack dog/too negative/not cooperative.." are literally complaining about Pierre and his cohorts doing their JOB as opposition. Your just upset they embarrass the Liberals.

Michael Cooper is my MP & I couldn't be more proud of the work he does.

I wouldn't call them 'attack dogs' either.

I would call them sharp MP's who expect and demand transparent answers from the government when asked, and who don't settle for government non-answer jibberish.

They were elected precisely because of these qualities, and are doing what voters expect.

Also known as the opposition, which in a democracy is kinda sorta important...


(I know why some people think Pierre is always in 'attack dog' mode, and why their perception is what it is. But maybe if our government didn't do sketchy shit all the time - like sneaking in amendments that would let them open your mail without a warrant - inside bills meant to address border security, they wouldn't have to be in attack dog mode all the time. Just my 2 cents anyway)

The current budget has Ndp finger prints on it.

Probably nil'...

Premier Eby seems dead against anything to do with pipelines. If he's super against a new pipeline thru northern BC, I doubt he'll be enthused about a pipeline going right through his backyard.
