All this does is increase the province's debt, though. This is a political play by Kenney, considering his mismanagement of basically everything he's touched as premier.

Quite a king's ransom for the Seahawks (players and picks).

Do us all a favour and spare the feigned indignation and baseless assumptions for Facebook. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them a liberal, much in the same way your flawed reasoning being pointed out doesn't make you a right wing fanatic. Exactly. Greed is destroying the world as we know it, not taxes.

So, let's hold governments accountable in order to ease the crushing burden on the vast majority of taxpayers, but let the oil companies continue to get away with their insatiable greed, as they rake in profits so the obscenely wealthy can continue hoarding wealth. Quite the flawed reasoning there. Sounds about right, though.

That's not a red herring. And both certainly were part of the federal gov't - not even a decade ago. Kenney's barely relevant at that level in terms of energy policy; his present tenure as premier of Alberta is a different story. The decisions of previous governments, regardless of political stripe, have ramifications beyond the lifespan of a ruling party. (https://www.policynote.ca/energy-and-climate-in-the-harper-decade/) (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/16/canada-election-stephen-harper-fossil-fuel-backfires) It's not "blaming the past" to take an objective look at history, recent or distant, to see how previous actions influence the current state of a nation. That doesn't excuse the current gov't by any means. More has to be done to tackle our nation's energy demands and nonsensical partisanship should have no place in things such as energy policy, IMO. Causality doesn't necessarily mean blaming anyone and ignoring history has a tendency to lead to mistakes of the past being repeated. For the moment, though, how will complaining about rising fuel prices elicit change? And what agenda items need to be "moved up" in order to address the significant increase in energy prices presently hitting the wallets of consumers across the globe? It's a challenge for the entire world, not just Canada. Trying to frame it as purely a domestic issue makes about as much sense as the Justinflation narrative peddled by ignoramuses like Poilievre. And making vulgar statements just makes you look irrational and childish. Be better.

A policy that's been neglected for decades by governments at multiple levels, exacerbated by climate changed and then in the last two years by a pandemic and now a needless conflict by a warmongering egomaniac that's shaken the world...? What will be accomplished by complaining? This is the bed we've collectively made. The damage is done and now we're all being forced to sleep in it. Greed Avarice runs this clown world.

A nosedive into an inevitable and total collapse.

No, it was necessary. Your comments in this thread seem like conjecture at best. You claim to not have a "dog in this hunt" but you've been commenting here all the same with your unpopular opinions. I think you've confused that word with ignorant, to be honest. Do you even know what sabre rattling means? It's defined as the display or threat of military force. Has any western country done such a thing since Putin chose to invade a sovereign nation unprovoked? Nope. Western countries have expressed their collective condemnation and supported Ukrainian resistance within the respective framework of NATO legislation. And to suggest the west has nothing is patently false. Russia's economy is in shambles and it's going to get worse as Putin continues to destroy Ukraine.

War crimes have allegedly already been committed in the last week since the invasion began. The ICC intends to investigate not only these claims but also retroactively as far back as 2013 when protests towards the pro-Russia gov't in Ukraine were taking place. (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/2/icc-to-begin-investigation-into-possible-war-crimes-in-ukraine) I don't think Putin or anyone in his inner circle gives a **** about the Geneva Convention at this point. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/ukraine-russia-invasion-march3-2022-1.6371091

Two very different vibes but both awesome in their right. Ottawa has a lot to offer and it's safe and friendly. Same goes for Quebec City, and Old Quebec City is an amazing experience. Felt like I'd gone back in time when I was there.

It was never a possibility, IMO. At least not recently (2014 to now). Ukraine's had aspirations to be a sovereign independent nation going back to the 90s, a fact that's never sat well with Putin since he came to power. It's baffling. But I'd say it speaks to their ignorance as it pertains to Ukraine's contentious history with Russia since the last century.

According to whom? Ukraine has no interest in giving in to Putin and his bullshit narrative about liberating the country.

Haven't picked up HFW yet but I've heard nothing but good things about it. Elden Ring is incredibly immersive and entertaining. Glad I picked it up; it's a grind to say the least. GT7 drops tomorrow and I can't wait to fire it up in 4K goodness: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a39289380/gran-turismo-7-worth-the-wait-review/ 2022 is shaping up to be a great year for video games.
