Kenny's resisting the Trans Mountain pipeline.

Kenny was on TV last week (when is he not?).  This time, however, he was sitting next to a very chatty lady who was an Environmental Lawyer.  She spoke at length about the futility of shipping oil from Alberta to the west coast, how the Tansmountain pipeline was bordering insanity.

She made no attempt at reason.  Factually if we do not supply the oil, some other country will.  Other countries would choose Canada over the US for their supplies.

The bottom line is the US does not want us to ship our oil into the Pacific Rim!.  Harper and Kenny for the years they were in Government did everything possible to ensure new pipelines would not be built!

In this case, Kenny sat like a duck on the lady's arm offering nothing, just his photo opp.

After this post went up, Kenny started his infamous "war room" to make him look active at chasing ghosts.  This is costing Albertans 131 million per year, reportedly.

Canada’s Treasures at Risk!

The previous Conservative Government put in a plan to move 2/3rds of the Peace River to the US border. This is a fully engineered plan; ready to go and is called the Weatherford Plan. So named after the engineering firm that produced it. The new dam put in by BC which cannot produce enough electricity to pay for itself does, however, provide a large sump from which to draw water in volume.

The plans call for 6 lift stations, each using the power of a city. Original plans call for 4 large diameter pipes to move the water. If Conservatives build this line Canadians will end up paying for the pipeline in order to give the US inexpensive water!

This is why Harper and Kenny changed the designation on the Peace River. It is no longer classified as navigatable!.

Apart from that, the Canada Pension fund is a target. The US has for years complained about it as being a social program hold that it should be put into the hands of private companies.

Our present situation’ Thanks to Bell Media and its Post Media holdings interference into Canadian Politics, the Conservatives now have sufficient population and provinces to change the constitution no matter who gets in.

UCP IN Government= the trend

UCP was quick to bring the axe down on LGBQ support groups by cutting funding.  This is what happens when you have Church (LDS)  and state working the system in dual!  As I said, post media will support conservative views.  In this case, they made a special effort in stopping me from commenting.  The preferred way is to "treat" gay people with forms of medieval torture until they say, I give up.   I will reiterate, gay people should get firearm permits for their own protection.  Or, a crossbow and some hunting tips.

On another front, Kenny has a photo opp with a Vancouver environmental lawyer who is supporting Kenny' views on no western pipeline.   What Kenny will do with this is probably bad.  That much we can count on.

Kenny and Harper all but destroyed the western pipeline because the USA does not want us to ship into their market place.  I had said on the onset that Kenny would destroy that pipeline one way or another.

The Green party are simply dumb as posts with May leading the pack.  She blamed east coast phytoplankton losses on the oil leakage.   The world, on the other hand, is complaining about global warming and the increase in carbon dioxide which is being absorbed into the ocean making carbolic acid! This is bleaching coral around the world.

Australia's suprising Conservative win

Going against all the polls, going against the common thread of popularity, the Conservatives were elected again.   Notably, just after installing the Bell Media G5 network into @Australia.  I have no way of telling how many of the print media is owned by Bell but with this showing, I suggest the majority of them! 

In Canada, Bell media owns 200 print papers which means if you are checking say, Financial Post or Globe Media, for your financial information, you are getting the Conservative wish list, not facts!

Beware!

They have interfered with all the provincial elections.  Kenny, for instance, didn't win in Alberta he stole the Government with the Assistance of Bell Media and their hose of print media.  The conservatives though a mountain of lies now have enough population and provinces to force changes to our constitution regardless of who wins.  They are in every sense, stealing our country!

Don't let the same thing happen to Canada!

UCP proposed changes to health care privitiztion. A guideline.

Andrew Scheer stated he has a plan for health care, a "two-tier system"  The american system is two-tier!

The US Republicans have continually expressed their distaste the Canadian Health Care system.  Because it is paid for by all and covers all they try to bend it into a welfare system.

U.S. health care spending grew 3.9 percent in 2017, reaching $3.5 trillion or $10,739 per person. As a share of the nation's Gross Domestic Product, health spending accounted for 17.9 percent. Dec 11, 2018 

With their high expense, there is close to 50%  of Americans who have no coverage!  Canada's lower costs cover 100% of our people.

Here is an example of a google search which will turn up the numbers.  Some show the tweak upwards when Trump diced the Obama Care plan.

Alberta returns to an unsafe place to invest.

Jason Kenny took the office of Premier by constantly telling outright inflammatory lies. The biggest was protected by Post Media (Bell Media group) who would not allow comments to these outlandish statements of his.

Acknowledging this, Kenny on his first day of Premier elect said "No more lies starting today! Only the truth!"

Yesterday having taken the chair of Premier of Alberta, he said "I will bring in legislation that will allow us to turn off the taps to BC" The fact is, Rachel Notley has already got that legislation I place!

So, his first public statements are outright lies. The culture of a Government starts at the top. Investing in this one is plainly a risk!
