Canada BS Thread

And here's the construction company grease that Transcanada needed to apply:

If this "solves" Quebec's problems with Energy East you'll understand what this was all about. Money. I doubt it was even money to tax payers. It was money for union workers, unions, and the criminals there that have the whole mess running in circles.

 

It would have been impossible to build this without hiring hundreds of Quebec workers without this "announcement". Sadder that the game needs to be played for something so obvious. Sad part is it will be the separatists that will run with it.

 

Not really interesting, but rather, depressing.
We as Canadians can't even enact laws that protect the health of our own citizens for fear of lawsuits from US based companies.

 

Your biggest concern may be getting Toyota USA to honour any warranty on a Canadian purchased Tacoma. That could end up being expensive.

 

The softwood agreement between the US and Canada is a seperate agreement , I didn't forget anything , not sure how its relevant

 

I know facts aren't really paramount to your posts but in case you missed it , the seperatist parties were soundly defeated in both provincial and federal elections in Quebec

 

That crazy bitch Quebec had for a premier a few years ago hurt the separatists for a decade at least. Yes, I know she wasn't a PQ but she aligned with separatists.

 

She was PQ , and got annihilated in the provincial election , just like the BQ in the last federal election

 

The pipeline will be a unity issue. The pipe-line may have to go north to the arctic ocean. After that Alberta can play hardball with the CPR and CNR.

 

No arguments here. That's exactly what happened.

 

It's not going north. No port access in the territories and Churchill can't take tankers. Plus if you want to see internationals flip their lid tell them you want to ship oil through the tundra and into ice berg infested waters.

 

Just cause its in The Huffington Post, doesn't make it factual. It is as biased as Fox or MSNBC. Fact of life south of the border.

 

Plus no Canadian ice breaking capabilty

 

Hey thanks for your wisdom

 

Don't know about can-to-usa but I had zero issues with my American truck at Canadian dealers.

 

I didn't even need to go that far. Have you ever seen that Russian tanker that can backup through ice using the prop and stern to bust through? That thing cost a crazy amount of money and doesn't even always work.

 

The winter road to Inuvik is being built into an all weather road as we speak. Plenty of pipelines feasible up the Mackenzie valley. They even have encouragement now from the local 1st Nations.

 

Yes

It just highlights another issue that is going to appear in the future when Canadian sovereignty over the Northwest Passage is challenged once the thinning ice makes it more navigatable . No presence , no sovereign right .

 

Don't we have a few ice breakers sitting half built in Halifax that should be ready to go soon?

To be honest a couple of Harpoon equipped fighters could protect our sovergnty fine but boats on the water is definitely a stronger deterant.

 

A good road isn't the same as a full year round ice free port and fleet of ice ready tankers.
