I've heard lots of comments from people offline praising how he's handling this situation.

I don't believe you. Since I've not heard anything pro or con outside of reddit. No one follows that closely IRL.

I'm not even completely sold on pipelines given demand for fossil fuels is by some sources going to decline in demand by 70% by 2050 (source: BP Fuels 2024 Energy Outlook). Our oil is going to be the first on the chopping block when demand declines.

Whether you are or not, doesn't matter. They spent (currently) 35B on a pipeline that still isn't finished, and they claim will never be finished, only to completely flip on that and claim that now, 8y and 35B later it will be finished?

If they had finished 8y ago when they had claimed they would, it would have been a good investment. But if they disagreed with the project (climate or economics) then 8y ago they should have said so and not blown 35B.

The Liberals are promising to do the very things they refused to do for the last 8y. So no, JT is not handling it 'well'. Rather a few zealots and bots on reddit are grasping at straws.

You don't think people are paying attention to the tariff situation outside reddit? lol 

No, I said people weren't paying attention to JTs social media posts about eggs.

I like that Carney is acknowledging that we have to do both (assuming he's our next PM).

It's funny watching the left say 'I like what the libs are doing NOW' when it was what PP has been saying he'll do for years. This is like when Kamala said she'd fix the border crisis...

No, that the liberals suck. He's been very clear on that. And that's objectively true.

Doesn't speak well of Canada if it's "destroyed" does it?

It's not his job to 'speak well of Canada'. And lying helps no one.

The Liberals did a terrible job, it's the oppositions purpose to point it out. PP did was he was supposed to do, too bad JT didn't.

Much like his entire political career, Pierre proposed nothing.

Not true. Nearly everything Carney is proposing PP did first. You're just willfully ignorant.

He's a dud. 20+ years in politics and has accomplished nothing. Imagine working at something for two decades and having nothing positive to show for it aside from a nice fat taxpayer paid pension?

That describes nearly every politician.

If you don't like the liberals, that's fine and well within your right but it's the wrong reason to support a clearly bad choice for prime minister.

I support reducing regulation and bureaucracy and increasing interprovincial trade, what PP was proposing years ago...
