The essential notion of a capitalist society is voluntary cooperation. The essential notion of a socialist society is force.

Hey @Nenshi, can you release all your old gift disclosures from when you were Mayor? Every councillor's disclosures from those years are still up on the City of Calgary's website right now, but yours disappeared when you announced your NDP leadership bid. Weird coincidence, eh?

There were many strong female conservative candidates running in almost every ward in Calgary, but the left endorsed and supported white males running against them simply because of their political views. Seems a bit sexist to me.

First, incredibly offensive to Western Canada - pipelines pay for much of what Toronto takes for granted. Second, Western Canada is going to dominate the data centre market too, because they need cheap, reliable electricity.

Lougheed is literally the person who proposed adding the notwithstanding clause to the Charter. And he literally said he would use it in exactly this way to end a strike (his was a healthcare strike).

First, Stats Canada says O&G is 3.5% while Auto is 1%. (The 4% is from an auto industry report that includes ancillary things.) Second, take a look at exports: O&G: $170 Billion Auto: $70 Billion The **entirety** of Quebec's exports are $90 Billion.

For years, the activist-infested IEA have claimed oil demand has peaked. Radical environmentalists then used this "expert" org as "evidence" to support their anti-oil policies. Hilariously, even the IEA have now been forced to admit that oil demand will grow to at least 2050.

The Major Projects Office is just another excersise in using taxpayer money to subsidize unproductive projects. Meanwhile, projects that would actually be productive - like pipelines - are still stymied at every turn.

If by "transformational" you mean transforming Albertans' taxes into unproductive infrastructure in the rest of Canada, sure... When will Alberta be allowed to build productive infrastructure that just needs government to get out of the way, rather than a government subsidy?

Do you wonder why Canada has a productivity crisis? In the latest sign of the apocalypse, I learned today oilsands companies will have to report how much dental floss their workers use and dispose of to ECCC's Federal Plastics Registry. canada.ca/en/environment…

Let’s take a look at the so-called "major projects" that Carney has only REFERRED, not approved, to his $214 million bureaucratic Major Projects Office: 1. LNG Canada Phase 2: Approved in 2016 2. ⁠Darlington Nuclear: Under construction since May 2025 3. ⁠Contrecœur Terminal

The NDP's proposed solution to measles is hiring yet another bureaucrat to give speeches. They're a deeply unserious party, uninterested in actually understanding problems.

Feeding kids = Good. Top-down socialized food program that won't work anyway = Bad. If you fail to distinguish between these two things, then you'll end up supporting literally anything the socialists can make *sound* good. Hayek explained this in Road To Serfdom 80 years ago.

Eby's entire argument rests on there being no private proponent for the pipeline. But he's either playing politics or just too stupid to understand that the laws he supports are the only reason there isn't. The moment he and the laws are gone, the private proponent will appear.
