Here you are in June - casually suggesting you can just decide to “join” Canada. No more respect for our sovereignty and our Canadian culture than Trump displays. A flood of Americans greater than our existing population and you think we’d welcome that?

I think Greg is arguing in good faith here but I don't think viewing the barriers to oil investment as primarily legislative makes sense. Even if you got rid of the tanker ban and production camp, recuperating operating costs post-construction seems like a stretch, given IEA oil projection

Greg McLean @gregmcleanyyc.bsky.social · 2h

Alberta must identify private sector proponents. Fed Govt must remove legislative barriers to investment: Bills C-69 & C-48, O&G production cap & industrial carbon tax. They must assure investors they won't change rules part way through. And they must stop pretending the responsibility isn't theirs.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

For you that are complaining - grow up and get it through whatever is left of your brain - this is his job - To Protect Canadians!

This is not easy and are hostile negations.

Canadian jobs on are the line.

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.
