"...Eastern Canada imports more than 750,000 barrels per day from the U.S. and OPEC countries. The Energy East pipeline would have carried 1.1 million barrels per day of Canadian oil eastward to Canadians at lower cost while increasing Canada’s self-reliance. Even if much of the pipeline’s oil were exported, it would still be an economic benefit for Canada with foreign-market access that would allow for greater diversity of Canada’s customer base for its oil..."

Disagree With a Liberal? "Making Canada Safe for Hypocrisy"
http://nationalpost.com/news/politics/john-ivison-ousting-of-pro-life-committee-chair-an-act-of-blatant-liberal-hypocrisy
As per a quote I read a couple of years ago (I believe in the National Post), a Liberal is open to all views... until you disagree with theirs.

When is a Safe Country...Safe? The Safe Third Country agreement with the U.S

Some data points...
Some data points...
"But the actual number of cases the board has heard since then is a mere fraction of the 8,000 or so claims that have been filed to date."
"The board is funded to hear at most 24,000 cases a year and at present, is anticipating more than 40,000 to be filed in all of 2017."
"There are currently 40,000 cases in the backlog as well, she said. Wait times for a hearing are currently about 16 months with nowhere to go but up, she added."
“The math is clear — unless you put more resources to this problem, then it takes longer time to schedule so there will be longer wait times.”

Despite What The Justin and His Liberals Speak and Tell You, Canadians Are All Worse Off...
Too Close To Home: Terrorism in Edmonton and Only a Few Words From Our Prime Minister
Hard to believe this happened in Edmonton during a CFL game but easy to understand how such a crude method of violence could happen anywhere. This did not happen in the big three cities of Canada but in Edmonton.
Not one word about terrorism from our fearless Prime Minister. One mention of "hate" and one mention of "violent extremism". Nevermind that this arrested individual, pursuing a refugee claim, was known by the RCMP at least since 2015. As such, we have yet to see where Trudeau and Immigration Minister, MP John McCallum draw the line on "A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian".
Overshadowed by the unfortunate and more attention grabbing events in Las Vegas, once again The Justin and his policy erratic Liberals are successful with the media.

The Justin and His Merry Band of Taxing Federal Liberals: You Know It Is Bad When Even a Left Leaning, On Line Rag "Reports" It Is So
Never one to highlight or source such amateur journalism rife with non-Canadian spelling, text message type grammar and petty themes (how many articles can you produce on food trucks and beer festivals?); however, this made me perform a double-take at my laptop this morning....
I have not heard of research firm MARU/Matchbox, so, for what the results are worth you can read below; however, the message is becoming vocalized rather than just conversations in the confines of home or whispering chatter around the water cooler.
"Almost half of Canadians think the Liberals under Justin Trudeau should no longer be running the country, according to a new poll."

Now if we could only have the same company perform a similar poll for Kathleen and the Ontario Liberals.

...And More and More and More Liberal Scandals and Gaffes: Canadians Must Be Politically Blind
Failing Canadians caught in Irma, hasty marijuana legalization and implementation, bungled pipeline and provincial energy policies, on trial for meddling with patronage positions, egregious tax reforms backlash, uncalled for minimum wage hikes, a refugee claim policy created on the fly - a political party's scorecard after its entire term? Nope just another one day of headlines for the provincial and federal Liberals.
As I "opened" the online version of the Financial Post and National Post, I was welcomed by the no less than a dozen articles of how wrong the latest Federal Liberal policies are, what these choices are going to cost Canadians and just general scandal (as in Ontario and it's energy play thing the Liberals have been tinkering with to the tune of tens and tens of billions of dollars).
Either Canadians are 1) politically blind, 2) apathy takes over and they just believe the left focused media is always right, or 3) everyone is so wealthy in Ontario that no on needs to care (oh wait, what was that minimum wage idea the Ontario Liberals proposed?).
Whatever the reason, this ruthless, wasteful, over spending, lacking understanding of the energy industry, mathematically challenged group is likely to be voted in again.
