As a BC resident and BCNDP voter, good.
I think Eby has picked the wrong fight here, Carney is extremely popular, BC needs to be on the same page as the federal government
Let’s get things moving as fast as possible here in BC and work together, don’t worry about Danielle Smith and her political fights, let’s focus on how BC and Canada can work together
If he wasn’t a debt-loving keyensian SOB, I’d high five him.
With the speed at which we move by the time they are ready to help solve the energy crisis it will be done and over with.
Words are nice but lets see some action isntead of endless MOUs and go nowhere promises.
At least Carney made his stance.
Instead of Trudeau who was against pipeline, never voiced his support on TMX, let the BC/Alberta fued grew out of control until the Fed had to bail them out.
Need more CANDU attitude
The oil flows west and south we need energy east and to the port of Churchill.
need more solar and renewables. We are leaders in the world for Hydrogen fuel cell technology. Let’s not squander this moment.
I like Carney’s talking point. He knows Alberta and BC. BC will not agree to a northern pipeline but will be open to expanding the current pipeline to the lower mainland.
We have an oil tanker restriction on our north coast for a reason.
Hydro in Quebec/Labrador? That seems like a good idea too.
BC has a lot of voters who are environmentally motivated, and that puts the BC premier at odds with Alberta and the current federal government under Carney.
If Eby allows the pipeline without the kind of concessions that will matter to BC voters (and at least as important,to the voting members of his party), he will get run out of office.
But the flip side is that Carney and Smith are going to apply as much pressure to make this happen as they can bring to bear.
END COMMUNICATION
Not sure I understand Eby’s argument about Alberta getting special treatment. BC has several major projects on the go, does it not?
Its not about ideologies, its about proven physical realities that make another pipeline a terrible idea. We just went through this with TMX, so we know it for a fact. We are not talking about a flat empty grassland here.
It took $34 billion, 38,000 tradespeople, NEB approval, 1,200 permits, 130 indigenous communities, and 157 required conditions. And now it isn’t even paying off it’s own debt!
It doesn’t take a Harvard Oxford economist to realize that Eby is correct and our tax dollars must be spent elsewhere.
We should have started to move away from fossil fuels decades ago. There needs to be more of a focus on nuclear and renewables.
Time to show some balls and tell BC, Qebc. and indigenous to stop whining or they get cut off.
i think the PM has the right idea. Full tilt and approve every source of power. Hydro in QC, offshore wind in NS, oil pipelines for AB, encourage private solar on roofs and nuclear for everywhere else. Canada can be an energy superpower.
A completely avoidable energy crisis that wouldn’t exist if countries party to the 1948 Convention had honoured their legal duty to act when initially triggered.
Energy crisis? Surely forcing a bunch of workers into the office every day is setting a good example.
Energy crisis! Let’s make federal workers drive in needlessly to work everyday!
Why can’t we start with popular and painless solutions?
How about send public servants to WFH where possible? Greenhouse gases from commuting will drop a lot
I think people are looking at this with a domestic viewpoint while Carney is looking at it in an international viewpoint.
Canada can and should profit from this, while helping its global allies. They want energy and we need cash.
These allies have been begging us to do this for the last 10 years.
🤦♂️
We do we need more reactors if birth rates are off a cliff? Is there an expectation of a 100M people in canada still?
Why tf are we so afraid of Nuclear? It has the same or similar feasibility timelines as pipelines, we have tons of open land in the North and the Prairies.. AB wants to be an energy powerhouse? Great, lets throw down nuclear plants and revitalize old coal mining communities with new infrastructure.
Wtf is the problem
How about nuclear fuel enrichment. We got a ton of it in Sask.
How about federalized nuclear builds?
How about a program to help the power companies modernize so they can buy back solar from the little guy?
Exactly. Spend the time and energy where you can get shit done. It’s not coddling the trouble makers per se. It’s focusing effort and resources on those wanting to solve that particular problem thst requires solutioning. AB wants a pipeline. Canada needs a pipeline. Get on board other provinces … or STFU anf get outta the way of progress
I live in BC, Carney is absolutely right. They should build the pipeline.
The US is not a reliable partner. Canadian product like oil need alternative markets. It is past time Canada builds more infrastructure to support it.
If we had a government who had a grain of sense, we would be as rich as any middle eastern oil country. Say what you want, but oil and gas isn’t going anywhere, no matter how much fairy dust you spread over it
I live in BC.
I support the pipeline for the benefit of Canada and all Canadians.
How to put this delicately: Fuck the world. Put this country and its citizens first.
Ok, so we see there is an energy crisis and the plan is to allow more and more AI data centers that suck up a ton of energy be built. Then complain that the energy crisis is getting worse? How stupid is this?
The world should have come up with better energy solutions than oil or methane by now.
You mean like the cons have been saying for years?
How about reducing the 150% tariffs on Chinese made solar panels so all Canadians who want to produce their own environmentally friendly energy can do so cheaply Mr. Carney? I guess it’s not THAT bad of a crisis.
hahaha we cant even help ourselves
Why are we always trying to help others when we ourselves are struggling. It feels like the opposite of the oxygen mask theory. We are suffocating.
Sure thing
I live in BC and I agree, if Eby isn’t going to play ball, Carney has a long list of others willing to across Canada. Eby needs to go
