(Insert Own Title Here)

Without a doubt, Justin's economy-ruining policies and his unoriginal hatred of Alberta are the reasons why billions of dollars just disappeared within twenty-four hours:

Make no mistake, the end of Teck Resources’ Frontier oilsands mine is Justin Trudeau’s fault — plainly, clearly, unequivocally.

The project’s cancellation also means the radical fringe is in charge of Canada, not the government, the courts or the police.

Teck’s decision, announced Sunday, will also have far-reaching effects on the entire Canadian economy, not just the energy sector.

There is no doubt this is Justin Trudeau’s fault.

Oh sure, the Liberals will try to spin this as an economic decision by the company. The feds will insist the price of oil is too low to make such a huge investment viable.

That’s what the Liberals claimed in 2017 when the Energy East pipeline was cancelled. ...

Last week, Teck said that despite a temporary fall in the price of oil, Frontier still made economic sense. What doesn’t make sense, though, is investing $20 billion in the oilsands when it is clear the federal government will not back you up when protests arise, even if the courts say they should.

Would you invest a nickel in Canada right now when all anyone has to do to choke off the economy is throw a few wooden pallets across a rail line or highway and claim to be defending Indigenous rights or the environment?

(Sidebar: these malcontent acts of disruption and criminality but more on that later.)

Canadians voted not only for a sad, loopy little fruit but someone who wants to see this country fail in every possible respect.

One knows Justin to be a vile, self-appreciating narcissist with an unwillingness to accept and apologise for his many grave errors but it takes a special kind of imbecility and self-hatred to vote for someone who you know is destroying the country. Is it fear of success? Is simply commonplace idiocy? Is it the willingness to forgive anything as long as the right guy does it, not mater how immoral or illegal?

These questions will linger on as long as Canada remains unfragmented.

So, not long.




Who has "solidarity" for paid malcontents who stop people from going to work?:

(Sidebar: to the bribed press, your use of the word,"solidarity", to legitimise what are clearly criminal acts is the reason why you accepted government bail-outs. No one can be that stupid and partisan and still expect to have credibility with the reading public.)
Thousands of commuters had their morning routines disrupted Tuesday after a blockade popped up on a popular rail line near Hamilton and halted passenger train service.

GO Train service in Hamilton and all points on the route to Niagara Falls, Ont., has been stopped since Monday evening, said Metrolinx spokeswoman Anne Marie Aikins.

Provincial police in Haldimand County are reporting that part of Highway 6 in Caledonia has been closed by a solidarity demonstration.

The OPP asked commuters to be patient if they are delayed. The affected portion of the highway was between Argyle Street South and Greens Road, near the Six Nations reserve.

Why does that sound familiar?


Also - because respect the land ... or something:

We may never know his motive:

A hammer attack that killed a 64-year-old woman in Toronto on Feb. 21 has been linked by police to terrorism, with the alleged murderer now facing a terrorism-related charge.

Saad Akhtar, 30, was already facing a first-degree murder charge over the apparently random killing of the woman, attacked by a man with a hammer on Friday evening.

But on Tuesday, prosecutors updated charge to “murder – terrorist activity.” The charge applies to a murder “if the act or omission constituting the offence also constitutes a terrorist activity.”

“As part of our investigation into the homicide, we came across evidence that lead us to believe there may be a terrorism-related offence,” said Toronto police spokesperson Meaghan Gray.



Then you go to bed each night hungry, @$$hole:

Statistics Canada has revealed the number of Canadians living below the poverty line, according to 2018’s tax return figures.

The agency says that 3.2 million Canadians are living below the poverty line—which tops out at 8.7 percent of the population, compared to 9.5 percent in 2017.

The child poverty rate has also decreased since 2012, dropping from 15 percent to 8.2 percent in that time. Still, that totals out to 566,000 children living in poverty.

Canada’s child poverty rate of 8.2 percent has not drastically changed one way or the other since 2017.

Social Development Minister Ahmed Hussen touted the numbers as a victory in his speech addressing the figures this morning in Ottawa.

“This is the largest three-year reduction in poverty in Canadian history, and poverty is at its lowest point on record in Canada.”

Trust a Liberal to make everything sound like it is working as it should.




Wow. People totally have a handle on this coronavirus:

Canada's border measures to guard the country against incoming cases of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, will likely become less effective as the virus spreads, the country's chief medical officer Dr. Theresa Tam said Monday.

(Sidebar: ... says the lady who told everyone not worry and that everything was being handled. Fire. Her.)

China and South Korea on Tuesday reported more cases of a new viral illness that has been concentrated in North Asia but is causing global worry as clusters grow in the Middle East and Europe.

China reported 508 new cases and another 71 deaths, 68 of them in the central city of Wuhan, where the epidemic was first detected in December. The updates bring mainland China’s totals to 77,658 cases and 2,663 deaths.

South Korea now has the second-most cases in the world with 893 and has had a near 15-fold increase in reported infections in a week, as health workers continue to find batches in the southeastern city of Daegu and nearby areas, where panic has brought towns to an eerie standstill.

Also:

A vault in the Arctic built to preserve seeds for rice, wheat and other food staples will contain one million varieties with the addition on Tuesday of specimens grown by Cherokee Indians and the estate of Britain’s Prince Charles.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, built on an Arctic mountainside in 2008, was designed as a storage facility to protect vital crop seeds against the worst cataclysms of nuclear war or disease and safeguard global food supplies. The vault has the capability to store 4.5 million varieties of crops with an average of 500 seeds for each variety.

Dubbed the “doomsday vault,” the facility lies on the island of Spitsbergen in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, halfway between Norway and the North Pole, and is only opened a few times a year in order to preserve the seeds inside.
