Staunch Trump Supporters Are Now Asking if He’s the Antichrist The Iran war and a series of social media posts, including one depicting Trump as Jesus Christ, have some conservative commentators and fans suspecting the president may be the antichrist.

Carney’s pipeline deal is set to create a carbon-credit windfall in the oilsands - The Logic Suncor, CNRL and Cenovus have stockpiled huge inventories of carbon credits. Now, Alberta’s pipeline deal with Ottawa could ratchet up their value.

Will Alberta taxpayers get fleeced by oilsands companies and the Alberta government to close the gap between government-set carbon prices and real prices in TIER? This sounds like a wealth transfer scheme.
