His perspective is highly biased? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaida_Poilievre npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Carney won’t magically gain 20 seats in Alberta… npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander LNG & pipelines Ndp & Green? Will provincial NDP politics harm federal? Will those mainland Lib seats turn to Ndp or Green. Lowan speaks plenty on economic injustices. How will the issues fall between fed & prov? npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Mark Carney would have become very familiar with Campbell River and North Island. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Liberals come in almost dead last in Naniamo, cept last election npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander True, A bye-election that would give a majority would bring in significantly more money and people. Would it have made a difference? Could Liberals in more remote and rural Canada make themselves relevant? npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander If the division in OneBC extends to B.C. Conservatives…. NDP focused on leadership, with Carney doing everything that pleases corporate Canada, Gunns resignation would be an ideal time for the highly effective Liberal vote harvesting machine to plant itself in NorthIsland. The money and people that would be focused here? npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander And what would Gunn consider the greater loss, his seat going to the NDP or Liberals. I don’t know enough about North Island to understand which way the pipeline MOU is slanting the politics. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander RE: https://flipboard.com/@blackpressmedia/clearwater-e137pofnz/-/a-zFZJldRvT0KoAi6d4k43qA%3Aa%3A3177150469-%2F0 npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Canadians will have to decide if they want a housing system that serves the wealthy or the ordinary. The wealthy will work hard to convince the ordinary that nobody will have success unless they do. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander But the enormously wealthy for-profit housing industry will complain loudly and effectively, because limited-profit housing associations bring down rental prices and profits. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Unless Canada wants to put serious limits on for-profit housing it needs to follow Vienna and Finland in making non-market housing competitive npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Every opportunity, Poilievre shouts "people can't afford homes!"

On Canada Day, the Conservative leadership hopeful marched with James Topp, another Canadian Forces veteran who has appeared numerous times on MacKenzie’s podcast. That wasn’t an accident, and Poilievre and his staff must have done their due diligence on Topp before deciding to march with him. That they chose to do so in spite of his affiliation with someone like MacKenzie speaks volumes — and raises some uncomfortable questions about the Conservative movement’s persistent proximity to far-right groups." npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Conservative Leader Poilievre shakes hands with Second Sons president Jeremy Mackenzie npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander The nazi's in Canada, Second Sons: npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Poileivre's statement about Ma being against "driving up the cost of living.. fight for an affordable future"? npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander ConocoPhillips is laying off employees at its Canadian operations, according to three sources and a company memo reviewed by Reuters, as it moves to cut up to a quarter of its global workforce by next year. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Precisely the opposite at Athabaska U.

If the long term market was there, the industry would put refineries in place instead of piping a raw product half a continent while demanding others pay for it, and depending on the rate subsidy TMX gives them, npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Israel has worked to prop up Abbas who’s considered corrupt and useless in Palestine, while quietly supporting Hamas, while publicly condemning it npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Anand announces she’s preparing for a leadership role in the 51st state… npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Conservatives world wide are dominated by the ideas from the US extreme right. But the rest of the world doesn’t have the highly profitable ignorance machines of Fox et. al. As the US right becomes more extreme in the US, it’s viewed as idiotic nonsense by those who haven’t fallen under its charm. The US ignorance machine fails to spread its charm outside the US. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Jason Kenney was president of ‘Canadian’ Taxpayers Federation, MP, Jamil Jivani was past president of ‘Canada’ Strong and Free, both Atlas Network advocacy org as well. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Did Carney ask the oil businessmen if they would begin paying the real cost of using a pipeline instead of half the cost like TMX. $22/ barrel would be the industry standard, Canada only charges $10. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Are the Liberals trying to get Poilievre to cross the floor? npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Smith claims she worked in "peer review: with Fraser. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander friendly reminder that Alberta premier Danielle Smith is an alumni of Fraser Institute npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Friendly reminder that Conservative Party of Canada held its leadership convention with Atlas Network operatives 'Canada' Strong and Free npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander I hope Quilchena takes a hard look at who it chose to represent them.

It depends on the slippery ever changing “Who is the loudest voice, who can turn more outrage, who can be more inflammatory, who can twist the extreme vile and unacceptable as reasonable. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Canada should demand an entire 100% Canadian product line of GM’s new 2027 Bolt EV in Canada.

An organization that purports to be Canadian but Altas is a world wide Libertarian organization working to advocate for the extraordinarily wealthy in the US. Cbc never seems to remember this npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Again Canadian conservatives are incapable of anything independent of the US right wing and whatever ignorance and hatred is pushed to the top of their cesspool. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Everyone should stop by and give them an Ottawa cheer? .. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Hmm, Is Canada's autosector just a scaled back version of the US? npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander The unasked question for Canadians ... npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Meanwhile in Quebec, Jean-Sébastien Joly, brother of Liberal Minister Mélanie Joly owner Intelcom keeps Amazon's Quebec deliveries running: npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander If everything is Canadian, Moe and Smith have just popped, deflated abandoned the long standing “equalization is bad” argument that’s fueled western Canadian politics since NDP last Sask. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander There’s a reason no corporation wants to invest in this scheme, and it’s not because of what Alberta’s premier calls Ottawa’s ‘Nine Bad Laws’. npub1klmxke5nafugykx9whm0zesdw658v45hdsp4q3mwwxr9ywaqwfjs74jxt2 Gordon J Holtslander Smith is well versed in manipulating messaging for political gain.

This is true for eggs and chicken as well, where farmers’ also receive roughly a third of the retail price.
