Maybe overly simple but how about sticking with CUSMA/USMCA without tariffs. 100% free trade? Without mandating approvals for trade agreements third party countries (MYOB). Just be better
Hoekstra thinks Carney and Trump could sign a trade deal by Jan. 1 ctvnews.ca/world/trumps-tari…
Duh?, there is a trade deal already we call CUSMA......it is working well. The tariffs breech it and are pure and plain politics. They will be dropped once they have served their purpose or proven ineffective
Last week Carney said he could wait 2 1/2 years without a trade deal with the US
Moments after calling byelections, Carney suddenly changed his tune
He picked up the phone, called Trump, and announced he was restarting talks
What a coincidence …
It’s pretty clear at this point that Trudeau and Carney are actors in their own theatre and they expect Canadians to be nothing but spectators
You missed the net. I appreciate you trying. This tank ship is already allowed and well suited. the north west coast "tanker ban" is about restrictions on size only( no tanker Greater than 86,000 barrels). You must read the act prior to raging. Look up POLAR TANKERS
Judge Carney on what he does, not what he says.
Last week, I called Mark Carney’s bluff on energy infrastructure.
It turns out he loves to talk big but was never serious about building new energy capacity. He just wants more Liberal bureaucracy and more regulation.
We could have had 250,000 barrels of oil going to the Pacific coast and on to customers in Asia within two years, without a penny of taxpayer money involved.
All Mark Carney needed to do was sign a piece of paper giving the same tanker ban exemption he gave to the Port of Vancouver.
He voted against it.
Worthy "data over dogma" clarification
The @CPC_HQ either fundamentally misunderstands the debt-to-GDP ratio or is deliberately trying to mislead the public. Kudos to Mark Gerretsen for once again calling out the Conservative rhetoric and explaining the real situation
Yeah, journalist integrity is pursuit of the truth, and the facts. Leave biases aside. Opinions is not the job
Yeah, by elections are important
Shuv, calling by-elections is democracy, and calling Trump is diplomacy. Neither is theatre. The real circus is Conservatives pretending every government action is a distraction while offering nothing but outrage, slogans and partisan noise. Poilievre’s political sideshow is getting very old. Canadians deserve an opposition that can do more than heckle from the cheap seats. @lumin8 @macmike086 @Beatsie1 @AbGamble1 @ClaudeLavigne12 @patgagnon_75 @sock82 @ame_todd @kim_gaetz @cultmtl @sunn_time @SarahFischer__ @CPC_HQQ @JSardos @steveouthouse
Fascinating as I don't recall any mention of "difficult and unpopular decisions " during the election phase. It is a mystery.
#bcpoli premier-designate Lorne Doerkson is warning of difficult and unpopular decisions ahead, as the Conservatives gathered for their first caucus meeting following their election win. #Kamloops | READ:

Oh, the Conservative party of British Columbia is already looking "crusty" around the edges by expanding "red tape" in zoning
BC premier says he will get rid of municipal legislation allowing multiplexes to be built without rezoning

Pretty sure a bridge is uglier and intrusive on the landscape of both Delta and Richmond. The tunnel is more elegant and hidden
WATCH: Massey Tunnel commuters won’t be driving underwater for too much longer if the new provincial government gets its way. The Conservative Party of B.C. is planning to scrap the BC NDP’s eight-lane tunnel for a 10-lane bridge. Marija Robinson reports. vancouver.citynews.ca/video/…
Click bait.....fake rage over feeding over 70 people
You’re trying to make it sound like he personally consumed $1m worth of food.
The food bill includes the entire entourage, which on international trips is upwards of 70 people.
Do you have any complaint as a shareholder of a company if the CEO expenses nice meals or do you expect him to eat slop?
Be serious.
Perhaps you might be comforted in knowing the "tanker ban" only applies to tanker ships holding 86,000 barrels or more. The ban of super size ships is supported by the insurance industry too.
Canada has the resources the world needs.
We have the oil, the workers, and the railways to get our energy to the world. 🇨🇦
Strathcona Resources is ready to ship 250,000 barrels a day through Prince Rupert—creating jobs and strengthening our economy.
The Liberal tanker ban stands in the way.
Why block the opportunity?
It’s time to repeal the ban and let Canadian energy reach global markets.🇨🇦
The southern route of twinning existing pipeline is safer and proven

Performance of CPC gets D minus for showboating. Perhaps doubtful the CPC read . I did note the "tanker ban" APPLIES ONLY to super size tanker ships carrying more than 86,000 barrels, which makes sense for that environment of narrow oceanic channels
Yesterday, the Liberals defeated Conservative Bill C-264, which would have repealed the Liberal tanker ban.
Right now, we could ship 250,000 barrels of oil per day, delivered by rail, out of Prince Rupert.
The only thing that stands in the way is the Carney-Trudeau tanker ban, which only applies to oil from Alberta.
Parliament had a chance to work with Conservatives to reduce our dependence on the US and expand global markets for Canadian energy, but the Liberals, NDP, Bloc and Green Party said, “NO.”
NOT A TOTAL BAN. To quote: "The moratorium prohibits oil tankers carrying more than 12,500 metric tons (86,000 barrels) of crude oil or persistent oil products (per ship) as cargo from stopping, loading, or unloading at ports or marine installations in the moratorium area."
The Liberal government has voted to keep the B.C. oil tanker ban place, defeating a Conservative bill that would have repealed it.

FYI, The moratorium only prohibits oil tankers carrying more than 12,500 metric tons (86,000 barrels) of crude oil or persistent oil products as cargo (per ship) from stopping, loading, or unloading at ports or marine installations in the moratorium area. NEVER WAS A TOTAL BAN
