2025 Canadian Political Thread

[licks2nite]

Today:
•rare mineral mining for New Brunswick
•nickel mine for Ontario. CBC back in the '90s broadcast in most every newscast for weeks about the abundance of nickel in Canada. Wonder if another nickel mine can make any difference.
•more LNG for BC. At an inlet north of Prince Rupert.
•hydroelectric for arctic coast. $3 million budgeted for designing and planning. Estimate half billion to completion for 5 mega watts. Contrast Site C $16 billion for 500 mega watts or 480,000 homes. Churchill Falls $3.5 billion 1971 and 5000 mega watts.

We looking at an arctic pipeline terminus?

Sisson in New Brunswick makes sense.
Crawford in Ontario is debatable.
LNG is probably okay.
I wouldn't bother with the Arctic hydro.

Silencing the Scientists: Dissent, Censorship, and the New Technocracy
By Mark Keenan

...not censorship in the old sense of banning or burning books, today’s suppression often takes the form of reduced visibility — algorithms that downrank or bury dissenting views until they are difficult to find.

...studies that confirm policy rather than challenge it — producing policy-based evidence instead of evidence-based policy.

Money rules. If science professionals can't speak their mind, those off the grid need to find and explore rabbit holes. Google concepts taking too much for granted and terms you don't understand. Try asking AI for decenting views.

Canada’s ‘State Capture’ Problem Comes Into View

...the Law Society of British Columbia warned members lawyers receive threats demanding “substantial sums of money....some face explicit threats to their physical safety.

...what “state capture” looks like from the ground up....Canada’s security arms have not been empowered with modern laws, or funded and trained with the practical resources, to push back against the incursions of foreign mafias and spies.

...powers do not need to influence every politician or official in a target country. They only need enough of them — and specifically the ones positioned at key chokepoints in geopolitics, economy, intelligence, military and policing. Once those people, and the wealthy families behind them, are perceived to be embracing a hostile power, ‘the ranks fall in line, knowing their careers depend on it...

...transnational repression disproportionately target journalists, activists, dissidents, and community leaders.

Really, as long as Canada keeps consorting with nations violating their own citizens Canadians can expect to see nefarious players taking Canada as giving tacit approval.

Glad to see the budget pass. Last thing we need at this time is an election. Of course the naysayers will be all over it with this and that and typically will have nothing of relevance to propose but that's the divisive politics of the day.

Any comments on the budget.
Even after all the lies the Carney libtards have told to get elected??
Propping up a government that should of lost the vote, means the ndp will really get hammered next time.

Carney needs to open up the oil and gas industry. Increase production of iron and steel. Need more Energy production in electrical, and you are not going to get from solar or wind, but maybe nuclear (but that is years away).

The only thing he seem to be approving is long held proposals which have the backing of the provincial gov, aboriginal consent, and long environmental studies, and business friends or companies Carney has stock in.

Look at murders in Canada, you wonder why they are commited, because they are not afraid of the law, which will only punish them for 20 years and get out scott free. No put the fear of God into them, and bring back capital punishment.
100% tax on MJ. just to match liquor taxes.
Tax trust funds by 50%. Tax the rich by 75% to balance the budget and increase corporate tax to 40%. Tax the bank on based on dividends payouts, which is a indication of true profit for the banks. Increase dividend tax to 40% until the budget balances.

If there was an election Pierre PoiLIEvre would have to find another riding as Damian Kurek expressed in no uncertain terms that he would run again in his riding that PP parachuted into. The NDP if they all voted against the budget would have been wiped out into the history books as they are still on shaky grounds and do not have a real leader at the moment. The Bloc would also suffer losses as 4-5 seats that they took in Quebec were pretty close with Liberal & Conservative candidates. Then the so called Conservatives are on the verge of imploding due to a 3 word leader that has no solutions just negatory rhetoric.

The premise government should advance an ambitious plan to expand the electrical grid and power resource industries.

The new power transmission line coming in a few years time an opportunity for the provincial government to buy into some of the companies using power.

The BC NDP will call on the provincial government to seek to maximize benefits for the people of B.C. by negotiating return on investment for the public in the form of public equity stakes.

The resolution passed, a suggestion, not a policy...comes while government projecting billions in new revenue and thousands of new jobs flowing from new enterprises powered by the transmission line. But with a stake in some of the companies, it could collect even more, from a share of the profits.

...companies are coming to government saying they want to stay in B.C., but are getting offered massive subsidies to “relocate to Illinois or whatever.

...private investors putting money into your company, they get shares. Why is it when taxpayers put money into your company, they don’t get to participate in the upside, and can we talk about that?”

Canada desperately trying to disengage from the U.S. Alberta saw a $5 billion boost in revenues from TMX in the first year...not even at full capacity yet.

I'm all for BC government borrowing for viable infrastructure projects. As voting shareholders, consultants, security, lender of last resort... But not borrowing for social programs or salaries. We always want value for our money. If social programs aren't producing viable provincial income there can't be much considered for salaries. The most pressing social program issue...teaching cohorts of technically savvy youths straight out of secondary school to be interested and immediately trainable in any number of different jobs and careers. Well equipped labs for physics and chemistry. Shop courses offering machine operating skills as well as any hand tool imaginable.

Sweden Deputy PM interviewed on CTV Power Play for Gripen E aircraft sales to Canada. Eleven minutes.

Have been watching the Ryan Wedding story unfold. This is good movie making stuff, unique as all get out as the guy is a Canadian.

1) Who would have thought a good old Canadian boy would become the Pablo Escobar of this past decade.
2) An Olympic snowboarder none the less - wonder if any boarders out there would admit to smoking a reefer with this guy back in the day.
3) Corrupt lawyer. Maybe this guy was a conduit for payoffs?
4) Taking out a critical witness. Just one?
5) Reports are he's the head of a B$ drug business.
6) Maybe hiding out in Mexico, maybe not ...
7) and of course the added thing about which law enforcement agency did or did not do.

Prime, Netflix, AppleTV ... pretty sure one of them, (maybe all) is/are standing by.

 

[licks2nite]

In 2006 Ryan Wedding was named in a search warrant in Maple Ridge, British Columbia...that was investigated for growing large quantities of marijuana but he was never charged. However, in May 2010 he was convicted of attempting to buy cocaine from a US government agent in 2008, and was sentenced to four years in prison.

Swedish King Gustaf & PM Mark Carney


Ebba Busch - Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden


Pal Jonson - Defense Minister of Sweden

PM Mark Carney met Swedish royalty in his office, where he said the two countries were signing a strategic partnership "that extends from defence, to trade, to the environment and beyond."

A press release from the Prime Minister's Office said the agreement will connect Canadian and Swedish industries and workers in sectors such as clean power, critical minerals, manufacturing, defence, forestry, research and life sciences.

Top Swedish government ministers — including Industry Minister Ebba Busch and Defence Minister Pal Jonson — and representatives from dozens of Swedish companies have joined the royal couple on a trip to Canada.

Looking forward to partnering with Sweden industry and career growth in British Columbia with Saab Gripen-E construction in Canada. Canadians don’t need to be getting into anymore fights started by our allies. F-35 offers nothing else.

Off -grid living getting legislated so much, that you just have to bend over and take it up the ass..... but if you are connected to the grid (water supply, disposal and electrical), thus even if you don't use muncipal/provincial grids you have to pay connection fees and monthly access....

The solution is to have easy to use instructions to put all things electrical, water wells, and septic system into a easy used instructions. Then there is no need for expensive overpaid engineers to tell you how to run your home of grid.

The thing is governments want that money for the monthly connection fees... Which I think is wrong for any off-grid home over 1 acre, outside municipal boundaries.

Requirements to hook up to grids that is over 200m away from your property line, should be unconstitutional to our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Which means if people want to live off-grid, then let them, without fucking them over with these money grabbing schemes from governments.

Carney delivers three-hour crash course on blindsiding Eby over pipeline

What makes this all the more remarkable is the high standing that Eby has held Carney in since he replaced Justin Trudeau last year. The two have had a warm relationship. Eby respects Carney’s intelligence, authority and easy command of a room.

Mark Carney on shifting the separatist meme further away from Ottawa.

Mr. Carney, reducing government corruption through decentralisation doesn't come by leaving out partners.

I once met a guy whose last name was Crapp.

I would be angry and bitter if I was born with a last name like that, but he was a happy, friendly fellow.
