It looks as though Canadians just want big, legacy projects to be built, and aren't picky about which ones. That makes sense. But it also means Canadians aren't necessarily excited about LNG, per se. Only that it is part of a large infrastructure investment.
Maybe I'm missing something. How many countries have already "secured" trade deals, only to see Trump rip them up? We're better off not having a deal right now than entering a bad deal in a rush...
Hear me out:
Skynet launched nuclear weapons against a human leadership it deemed to be fascist, then began pressing what it thought to be fascist sympathizers into labour camps.

How different is that from oil & gas and agriculture?
Big capital.
Big spending.
Few jobs.
Are they allowed to defy unlawful orders with all this freedom? Or is this freedom just for soldiers who are afraid of needles?
For atrocities committed against Palestinians, Israel gives you a metal.
Mess with the Jesus, and it's jail.

In short: because the law governing rural municipalities permits it.
The power base in Saskatchewan isn't all that competent, it seems.
Didn't like the direction? The job of the elected official is to provide that direction. Grown a spine and do your job.
Those mooches in the local fire hall haven't generate a lick of profit lately!
What can you saw about the discussion and debate that took place at the meeting?
Come check out the systems replacing you as we speak!
Excellent. Alberta decides to be stuck in time with Saskatchewan.

It's wild that rural Saskatchewan is cool with their elected representative resigning, being replaced by Party hacks, then followed by a vote. The public has good reason not to trust the environmental assessment process. I've heard as much from inside the Ministry.
Carney compromised his support in eastern Canada by negotiating a decrease in agriculture tariffs with China. Still not good enough here. Liberals have zero reason to spend political capital in SK.
Saskatchewan isn't well.
"Chinese EVs will cost Canadian jobs, plus they're subsidized" say auto industry leaders who have been slashing positions in Canada for years and rely on state-financed bailouts and subsidies.

Let's read between the lines, shall we. The private sector wants public dollars to finance private infrastructure. The feds, under Trudeau purchased and built a pipeline. There's nothing holding these corporate giants back right now.

Revenues and profits soar, economies are being strangled by the industry, sector employment slumps, and petro-states refuse to introduce a windfall tax.
Pay the price of ruining the environment. It's the least you can do.

Reading about how the Nazis handled themselves at the Nuremburg trials prepared me for this kind of hubris and evil.
You'd think a country that has gone all in with oil and gas would at least know how to do a better job capturing the wealth it produces.
Indeed. In fact, house prices in Saskatchewan have rise faster over that period than anywhere else in Canada. Much of that due to how low prices were in our province for decades.
Let's talk affordability in #YQR. In 1920, Lakeview lots were sold for $200 (about $3,300 in 2026 dollars). Today that same lot goes for $250-$300,000. That's before anything is even built.

Business (student) unionism.
Agree in principle, but law enforcement isn't the same as other branches of the public service due to the nature of their work. Members of the RPS have been identified with good cause in privacy commissioner reports.
Liberals being Liberals.
The claims you are making about high speed are not true at all.
I suspect that on a balance of benefits and risks, the rail system comes out as a net positive. There are always trade offs. The key is to ensure the pros outweigh the cons. Countries with higher density have had high speed rail for decades. Ontario will be fine.
The government already owns VIA, and I agree that the new high speed rail system should be publicly owned. I just don't by the environmental claims against the proposed network.
