It's Called Fear

This wretched excuse for a government has destroyed the economy, most vehemently the oil and gas sector.

It thinks it can ward off public anger if it does what it always does - rely on the Americans.

Read the cheerleader's ghost-written plea not to shut down Enbridge Line 5:

The Canadian government is invoking for the second time in less than a year a 1977 treaty that will force the American government to negotiate over the fate of Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline.

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly announced the invocation of the treaty in a statement on Monday, pointing to the “significant” impact shutting down the pipeline would carry for Canadian jobs and bills.

“The economic and energy disruption and damage to Canada and the U.S. from a Line 5 shutdown would be widespread and significant. This would impact energy prices, such as propane for heating homes and the price of gas at the pump,” she said.

“At a time when global inflation is making it hard on families to make ends meet, these are unacceptable outcomes.”

Winter is coming.
