I just cracked a bottle of my favourite wine from Lake Country. Already have my next trip planned for next month; might make it 7 cases now. gently caress big oil but wth expanding something already there seems far preferable to anything new, or more rail, or more trucks ugh. Your move Horgan. Maybe boycott Stampede?

We require more studies/prep/funding/etc of the impact of lovely BC wine on our health services lmao. It's a stupid loving argument because as I said this oil is already being pumped out of the ground and going to your ports/through your province by rail. So we can have this stupid trade war over a good that is being shipped through your province anyways in a more costly and riskier method that is driving up the cost of transport for other goods or we can put the pipeline in that was approved by a federal environment comission.

Why do idiots think that pipelines will replace rail transport of oil? It just means a lot more oil will be shipped, doesn't change the method.

This National Post article from 2015 is like peak Canadian economics. Just read the first and last paragraphs if you don't have any time to waste:National Post posted:Pundits outside Alberta are almost unanimous in their support for a Norway-style sovereign wealth fund. If only the Alberta government had saved more of its resource revenues, the argument goes, then the Alberta government would have saved more of its resource revenues. Or something like that; details are never the strong suit of big-picture pundits. It’s usually enough to make the clearly unarguable point that it would nice to have an extra $1 trillion on hand, just like the Norwegians. We converted all that oil wealth into granite countertops for our kitchens and lift kits for our Ford F150s and we're so much richer for it Who needs government revenue when you've got a McMansion and some sweet truck equity

Also let's take a moment to appreciate this sly insinuation, slightly ahead of its time in 2015, that social democracy is some kind of unseemly white supremacist plot:quote:The other effect of a horizon that is measured in centuries instead of decades is that it puts into question the meaning of “saving for future generations.” Norwegians can be fairly certain that when their Government Pension Fund starts to send out cheques in a few decades, they and their children will be on the receiving end. (As in many European countries, Norwegian citizenship is based on bloodlines, not place of birth.) International and interprovincial migration rates being what they are, current Alberta residents have little reason to think that the sacrifices they make today will benefit their descendants 200 years from now. Moreover, Albertans are almost certainly going to be vastly wealthier in the 23rd century than they are today; the notion that they’d need a helping hand from the 21st century will doubtlessly be seen as a quaint conceit. Fortunately Alberta, a nation of people who know deep in their hearts that five or ten years from now they'll be living in Mom's basement back in Ontario or BC while they list their truck on kijiji, is immune to sordid blood and soil appeal of a sovereign wealth fund.

Why is the government wasting money like this?

no, look, i'm sure the recently deposed party leader suggesting that his resignation is just a "technicality" as the party gets ready to hold a leadership election going into the general election is actually the sign of a strong and cohesive party that very definitely has its poo poo in order, and could in fact govern its way out of a wet paper bag

Well public mobile just sent out a text to all their members that they are jacking up prices by 10 bucks a month, a huge 25% increase. But don't worry, if you want to keep the same plan, you can switch to Koodo, it's just now post paid so you will get gouged if you go over. Also they did it like 3 days after most customers paid for 3 months in advance, so if you switch to Koodo you miss out on at least 2 months worth of cell phone service. So goodbye loyalty bonuses of 3-4 bucks a month and hello extra surcharges and fees. This pretty much guarantees that all public mobile customers have to pay at least another 6 bucks a month minimum Thank you Telus you price gouging pricks And thank you crtc you worthless motherfuckers
