The minister singled out Irving Oil in a letter urging energy regulators in Atlantic Canada not to let refiners get a price increase July 1, when Clean Fuel Standard rules start coming in. He suggested that refinery margins are fat and healthy, and the company should absorb the cost of compliance, rather than trying to pass it along to consumers.
The company disagrees, and is fighting back. The strategic review will surely propose at least a couple of options that represent a significant economic hit to Atlantic Canada, and New Brunswick in particular.
They could sell the refinery, or close it. They could pivot their business to something else, and move.”
The Liberals are a disaster to Canadian investment, the oxygen of the economy
$32B and not even a guarantee for those 8000 jobs?
Logic says they are more likely to create 3000 or 4000 than 8000.
Hell, logic says that Canadians will continue to buy ICE cars, especially for a whole list of reasons related to cold weather battery performance. EVs are likely to be 2nd cars for short city trips, with ICE preferred (not that the Lib/NDP/WEF Govt. cares what the people want). Data indicates that many EV buyers go back to ICE for a variety of reasons and few women buy EVs once they realize that they will have to recharge and be "at risk" in an unknown (and possibly dangerous) environment for hours to get a recharge in the middle of a trip.
If there are real investigative journalists working for honest news media, I'd hope they'd be "following the money" and/or following the expected election vote benefits to the Liberals.
Have the Conservatives come out against this waste of taxpayer money?
Or are they afraid of opposing another spending boondoggle?
I went to the Party website to see if they had any policy relevant to the repeated subsidies paid to the auto-companies (and others).
-------and I found that they have no list of policies: no description of what they will do and no description of Liberal/NDP boondoggles they would stop.
$32 Billion for only the HOPE of 8,000 jobs?
They could created that many jobs in the Petroleum industry, just by making their policies LESS UNfrendly. $32B could also make a dent in the housing shortage if there was a govt. in Ottawa that was interested in fixing problems created by short-sighted Federal policies. They might save 8000 jobs by cancelling their anti-fertilizer policies.
Why is it that I wonder whether the jobs have to be in Ontario, so the Liberals have a better chance in the next election?
And that this will insure that the Conservatives, also wanting Ontario seats, will not oppose using Canadian's money to pay interest on $32 Billion in unjustified borrowing, lest the Liberals point out that the Cons are Job-Unfriendly?
Perhaps the underlying questions is:
Are Canadians so foolish that they still like to be bribed by Political Parties buying votes with their own excessive tax money... and not smart enough to vote for a RESPONSIBLE GOVT. that uses policy to encourage Canada's existing traditional exports and Canadian, not foreign, entrepreneurs?
Justin saw the business plan here, where no sensible person would, - so much so that he emptied the bank to procure this loser, and saw no business plan in Canadian liquid natural gas, where every sensible person did, as foreign politicians were lining up with cash in hand for us. This guy isn't economically fit to operate a lemonade stand.
The dumb fck Australians might take the batteries, though one of our Ministers said "there's no reason why can't manufacture batteries in Australia too". Yeah right. It takes 2 years to duplicate a 2 mile stretch of road, so doubt we too could manufacture batteries here.
Think about this announcement and how dysfunctional our PM is
We lock our resources in the ground and run Deficits . He gives Ukraine $500 million this weekend of borrowed money our kids will have to service
Meanwhile this happens :
Russia and Iran shock the world with a gas alliance
"Vzglyad"ru write - Russia can take part in the creation of not only the Turkish gas hub, but now also the Iranian gas hub. However, Russia's help in bringing Iranian gas to the world market looks strange from an economic point of view. Iran is the second largest owner of gas reserves in the world after Russia, and Iranian gas is a direct competitor to Russian. However, there are examples of successful associations of the main rivals for the sake of one goal in the world.
Iran plans to create a gas hub with the participation of Russia, Turkmenistan and Qatar in the industrial region of Asaluyeh in the southern Iranian province of Bushehr, located on the coast of the Persian Gulf. This was announced by the country's oil minister Javad Ouji.
The region is home to the production center of the world's largest oil and gas field North-South Pars. Gas reserves amount to 28 trillion cubic meters of gas plus 7 billion tons of oil.
