Here's the question Canada needs answered BEFORE signing anything: If our existing free trade agreement can suddenly face 50% tariffs anyway, what exactly will protect us under the next agreement? A deal without trust is just a piece of paper.

The last time I bought something from TH, it was definitely not fresh and had a terrible after taste. I haven’t been back since, and this ensures I won’t give them another chance.

There is NOTHING in the National CANADIAN interest in these pipelines and other related projects. Why is Canada using TAXPAYER $$ to pay for a project that NO PRIVATE COMPANY will invest in, but many private companies will reap the rewards from? WHY? This is blatant corporate welfare.
Unable to find a private company to back pipeline, governments resort to 90% taxpayer ownership
Today’s announcement breaks two promises that the federal and Alberta governments have repeatedly made to Canadians – that a pipeline would be privately financed and would be contingent on oilsands companies reducing their emissions

Letters page: "Leaders making the worst choices", "Wildfires decades in the making", "Children deserve a better future", "Climate crisis is an emergency"Article by Tim Gray, "Toronto is choking as PM fuels the fire"

"But our rime minister says now is not the time for action. Instead he rolls out plans to double the climate-change-causing pollution spewed by the oil and gas industry—to be padid for with Canadian tax dollars mostly for the benefit of U.S.-based investors.
He also does the oil lobby's bidding by weakening the taces they pay to pollute and announcing plans to gut the long-standing rules that help to moderate their impact on water, air, human health and wildlife.
