Where's the Peanut? Justin Shuffling the Minster Roles Post Brison's "Retirement"; The Worst Offenders Needed Replacing Are Still There

We will find out soon enough through the Davie shipbuilding scandal that will take place in the courts why MP Scott Brison had suddenly retired. 

And what of some glaring incompetence in the Minister ranks - Minister of Natural Resources, Amarjeet Sohi?

"...Finally, it’s worth noting who did not move or change: Minister of Natural Resources Amarjeet Sohi and Environment Minister Catherine McKenna.

The Liberal government has met with the scorn of many Albertans for failing to do more as the oil industry continues to struggle and gasp. Trudeau appointed Sohi in the hopes a minister from Alberta might help send a signal that Albertans were being listened to, but Sohi’s home province has had little effect on the frustration of Alberta voters. At the end of the day, the Liberals have very few seats at the table in Alberta, and moving a minister would pull their only Alberta presence in cabinet — it seems wasn’t worth it..."

Infrastructure Promises, Promises: Remember the Campaign and the Setting Up of an Infrastructure Bank? Well, Nothing Done Yet

$35.5 billion tied up and nothing to show for it.  Much like the Liberals track record thus far.

As If The Trans Mountain PIpeline Could Not Become Worse - It Becomes More Vague: Liberals Throw Out Any and All Timelines On the Project The Liberals Purchased (With Our Tax Dollars)

With all the legal, enviromental and initial financial resoruces in hand (up until the recent Supreme Court decision to which it should never have been escalated and at least backing from the previous owner) this Liberal government chooses to forego appealing any Supreme Court decisions surrounding the Trans Canada pipeline and after three years of governing, NOW wants to sit down and "consult" with those parties that have claimed they were not consulted properly. 

This is not a case of speaking with a few dissidents.  No, in fact, "the government will re-initiate consultations with all 117 indigenous groups impacted by the project". 

"The minister was asked during the press conference on how he can hold consultations when it looks like the government has already decided to build the pipeline expansion, which it bought from Kinder Morgan Canada Ltd. earlier this year for C$4.5 billion ($3.5 billion). He said the government wouldn’t cap the length of indigenous consultation, and approach it with an “open mind and good faith". 

Having spent C$4.5B in taxes, the Liberals are in no way motivated to see this initiative through.

This leaves cannabis legalization as the only thing the Liberal government has accomplished in its term.

New LNG Pipeline: Let the "Have Not Been Consulted" Playbook Begin...Again

Although NAFTA (or now, USMCA...saying it to that infamous 70s tune) was an important and attention grabbing deal that had to be completed in some way, the Liberals have not pounded their chest on this one?

Why?

Is it because: the Liberals are masters of delaying (into the next election, like Trans Mountain), ii) the passive-aggressive tactics the Liberals use allow them to say words and appear "pro-pipeline" or in this case "pro-LNG"; however, there actions are sabotage appeasing also the protesters (at least letting the protesters think they have won...for now), or iii) the ad hoc and erratic "consultation process" has not been determined on this huge economic opportunity (waiting to see how the protest movement and environmental extremists are going to spin this one and mobilize). 

Who knows.  The fact that this has not been given the attention or been the lightning rod as much as Trans Mountain leads me to believe this is as far as LNG is going to go. 

I hope I am wrong.

More Empty Words Regarding Trans Mountain - This Time From the Newly Appointed (and also Invisible) Minister of Natural Resources Amarjeet Sohi

Minister of Natural Resources Amarjeet Sohi Appears!

After almost a week of the Liberal powers trying to frame this answer from the Supreme Court of Canada, the actual Minister responsible for this file has shown face...

The Only One Feeling Relief Today is the ex-Minister of Natural Resources ("Dude, Where is...") Jim Carr

Where oh where is the new Minister of Natural Resources Amarjeet Sohi? Personal day? I suppose Jim Carr is wiping his brow and sighing relief right now!

How Wrong Are Things Going For Justin? Oh, Let Me Count The Ways...

In the same day...

1. After an appeal, the NEB's decision was determined worthless 
2. Later in the day Kinder Morgan shareholders voted to take the money from the federal government's head scratching purchase of the pipeline, and ran! Bye bye ~C$5.0B
3. Alberta Premier announces she is pulling out of the federal climate plan 
4. A NAFTA conclusion continues to look bleak (and the reasons why Canada has been left in this position are becoming apparent - Chrystia's Freeland "Diplomat of the Year" antagonist speech on US soil, what happened at the G7 in Charlevoix between Jusin and Donald, the Liberals' inaction leading up to these deadline negotiating times, etc. etc. etc.) 

It is so bad, not only does this Liberal government give rise to the phrase, "could not organize a kids' party", the C$ has fallen to below its three months high and the new and improved with the new rules that were implemented by the Liberals looks like an incompetent make work project.   

In adding fuel to the fire, Trump is firing off comments about whether Canada joins the agreement or becomes a victim of heavy tariffs on its auto sector exports.  

WHAT MORE DOES THIS LIBERAL GOVERNMENT HAVE TO DO TO BE VOTED OUT IN 2019? 

Justin has done EVERYTHING his father has done (as noted previously in these posts), with exception of mocking the Queen behind her back.  There is still a year left before election time and I hear Justin is not well liked in Quebec.  We will see....
