The Justin's Two-Faced, Passive Aggressive Politics Puzzle Is One Piece Closer to Completion

The Federal Liberals, trying to please everyone and spinning every decision and platform mandate into separate responses to please the public at large (like a high school student council), has just received the greatest gift.

Although announcing the Liberals are for two key pipelines thereby appearing pro-economic growth and risking backlash from the environmental crusaders and extremists, now has the piece in hand (well, in BC) to allow the "democracy of Canada to unfold" and kill at least one of these "approved" projects.

This gives the Federal Liberals the perfect situation of washing its hands from this controversial decision - the Liberals look pro-growth, but their provincial counterparts actually kill the pipeline washing away the risk of loss of votes from his environmentally obsessed voter base.

I do remember Jim Carr, Minister of Natural Resources making a comment to a group of Alberta business leaders two days after approving the $7B pipeline project about calling in the military if he needed to (a comment that he apologized for - wait, was that the sound of another Liberal apologizing?).   

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.  I suspect Jim Carr and his merry band of soft Liberals will not put up the fight.

More Apologies From Federal Liberals: Are Any of These MPs Thinking?

Another day, another apology from a Liberal MP.  This time from the Minister of Natural Resources Jim Carr and his comments about bringing in authorities whether police or military with regards to pipeline protesters.  This coming days after (the fraudulent Canadian that is somehow still a MP) Maryam Monsef's apology to not only the opposition but her fellow Liberal colleagues that served on the electoral reform committee.  The quick response from (how is she a...) MP Maryam Monsef begs the question from many sources - did she actually read the report and it's findings? More smoke and mirrors from the Liberals on an obviously what will be actually failed promise.  See earlier post.

Back to MP Jim Carr, although his warning of bringing in the authorities was an aggressive statement, when you dig beyond what the media reports, it is even more inflammatory in nature. 

Typical media reports all pipelines the same - new pipelines, existing pipelines, pipelines in development, thinking of a pipeline, pipelines under a lake, over a lake, in sensitive areas, barren waste lands, native land or not - they are all reported the same. 

Much to the disbelief of many readers of Metro or 24, the pipelines approved by the Liberals are the replacement of one EXISTING pipeline and the EXPANSION of another EXISTING pipeline.  The routes, the access needed and a lot of the work has been done already.  This is not a scene out of Avatar where the big, bad machines of development are pressing through the thickly forested utopias destroying everything in sight. 

So, although there will always be differing views on topics so environmentally and economically charged, shame on the extremist protesters for spewing untruths and fiction so offside the media cannot help themselves to cover these outrageous claims, but also shame on Jim Carr too - playing the bad cop when in fact he only has a bark, no bite.

Oh! Justin on the TV now, apologizing at the AFN conference...
