I don't care much for anything regarding this, but I don't think issues like criminal gun crime in Toronto is Alberta's problem. People look to the Feds to solve local issues, so they implement Canada-wide policies that don't make sense.

Just separate all the provinces and let them run their own shit or abolish the provincial system and just make it one Canada. This Federal/Provincial jurisdictional nonsense needs to end.

Large western democracies would not function without a mix of local and centralized control. Your "one Canada" idea would not function. In many ways this is waht the ontario and quebec citizens have been pushing for for 100 years.

I guess my question is more so towards why can a province be allowed to manage road work, but not set their own gun laws? I don’t hear the Feds mandating concrete for all provincial highways, when asphalt makes more sense in prairie provinces. Who determines what is strictly provincial authority vs federal?

That's what constitutions do. Unfortunately our constitution is a shit document designed by a bunch of moronic federalists. Since its inception, we have seen the Federal gov't claim more and more power - often supported by the SC's generous interpretation of said shit constitution.

Canada is not, and was not designed to be, a country of equals. It's a pseudo-colonial arrangement where central Canada is intended to have more voting power, more political power and suck wealth from the hinterlands. By design.

Feds don’t care if provincial healthcare is failing and killing people, because it’s under provincial control, but with it comes to scary farmers with rifles, they come swooshing in dictating policy for all.

Feds give money for health care. Since the debt crisis of the 90s that funding has never been restored.

To clarify, they take a lot of money, and then give some back for health care.

Government is the #1 industry in Canada.
Jerb creation for no value creation.

Just remember how the separatist fucks sucked the life and investment out of Quebec.

Same thing will happen here if these stupid fucks keep this up.

But don't fool yourself that any of these US "conversions" that you allege are any sort of light switch swap. These are mega projects measured in $Billions and we are proving time and time again that Canada is completely incapable of executing while the US races to the front and gobbles up the market.

You realize they had to approve the construction of the regassification terminals and associated pipelines too, right?

Canada can't approve anything.

Even in the US would you rather invest in a project that needs a conversion approved or entirely new infrastructure being improved? The conversions have even been hindrances in getting investment for new projects in the US, which is why so many were abandoned. There are only so many contracts that can be filled and they're all competing against each other. The conversions will be cheaper and quicker to get those done.

Nobody's going to keep throwing money on design if they think it's a dead project, TMX shut down twice even when they had approvals. Berkshire leaving was certainly a setback, but they had replaced that funding within a year and it was in place well in advance of the gov't denying the application. Everyone involved expected the project to continue until that point, there were teams actively in the field ground-truthing the routing the day it was denied.

They throw money at such projects all the time even knowing they're dead projects, we're not talking millions here, enough to keep up some semblance of appearances. 'There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.' The Gazudoc pipeline project isn't even all dead yet even after the LNG plant wasn't approved.

WTF is this gibberish coming out of your mouth? No idea what you're trying to say here but whatever it is, yes, I'd rather do it in the US than Canuckistan.

Remember that proposal of Bill 1 and following referendum is how CPR ended up in Calgary as it was risky doing business in Montreal.

One just needs to look at the economy and tax rates of Quebec to see why trying to emulate them politically is only something an idiot would want to do.

Canada has nothing to do with the question. In the US, would you rather try to get a conversion project approved, or a completely new one?

I don't know and it doesn't matter - what matters is I'd rather apply for either a new project or a conversion project in the US rather than in Canada.

Such is the power of a strong federal government. Canada could take a lesson.

[killramos]

What kind of stupid question is that.

That’s the kind of question someone who has no idea what they are talking about would ask, and only someone with their head up their ass would answer with any conviction.

I have no idea the puts or takes between a “conversion” versus a built new project, and neither do you.

This is why people who work in government come off as fools.

Is kert asking if the gender of a project can be changed?
