    The entire legalization process was poorly put into place, they have way of accurately making sure we do not have stoned drivers and the trudeau liberals never engaged the Americans on this issue...
    I totally disagree. Bogging around the nitty gritty when it comes to impaired driving and who America feels would have been an unnecessary delay. Just a bunch of people blabbing and blabbing indefinitely. The way it was done it perfect - it is forcing people who are paid to make decisions actually make decisions in a timely manner. For once. It's great.
    Why in the fuck would the Canadian government engage the Americans on the issue??? They already knew the answer. That would have been the stupidest possible thing to do, and I would have been pissed if the our government had allowed another nation's government dictate anything when it came to this issue.
    For once we're seeing government actually doing something actively and expeditiously, and recognizing that sometimes the best way to change is to just force change. I see that as a good thing.

    That's a pretty massive accomplishment, actually. I don't understand why you're treating it like it's not a really big deal. But it's not actually true that is the only campaign promise he has lived up to. Don't let your biases blind you to fact.

    Being one of the first countries in the world to fully legalize cannabis, and also bringing in medical assistance in dying, are not minor accomplishments, but some have such an unreasonable dislike that they are blind to that.

    Every one out to fully defend Trudeau, good to see...I would never thank Trudeau for legalizing it ... I don't need the governments permission, I smoked before it was legal and never been hassled...The better question is why do we need the governments permission ... east answer, we don't...

    Trudeau is useless....

    I see he's on another vacation...

    I'm sure the foreign dignitaries will enjoy his socks...

    Your comments here just prove that you're choosing your biases over logic. It's a bit stunning to me how much reality you're ignoring right now. You really seem trapped in some kind of bubble, where nothing that affects you directly on a day to day basis means anything.

    Canada's back, when it's convenient

    https://trib.al/ktOsFjv


    Pretty Much....

    From the article...

    “The government’s actions and rhetoric have been inconsistent, at times contradictory and mostly focused on messaging and advancing the Liberal brand than fixing real problems,” according to the     2018 Foreign Policy Report Cardproduced by Carleton University’s School of International Affairs in partnership with the Canadian Foreign Policy Journal. “For a political party that promised to elevate Canada’s position in the world, the Liberal government under Justin Trudeau has achieved remarkably little in the first half of its tenure to meet that goal.”

    I was listening to the CBC news yesterday evening. First up, reactions of B.C. residents protesting in Victoria Trudeau’s support of the pipeline. Everyone interviewed was furious. Then off to Alberta, where Trudeau was speaking later in the day. Everyone should be happy, right? Nope. They’re all furious that Trudeau hasn’t approved enough pipelines, fast enough. Literally no way to win.

    And once he's gone through the entire country... he'll discover other things such as Canadians have no interest in rehabilitating ISIS idiots.

    To your point: he never won in Alberta to begin with. He never will win in Alberta no matter what he does. He doesn't play politics very well. I'm starting to think he actually may not have been ready.

    I haven't given up on him, but eesh... come on, Justin... it's time to put the gloves on.

    Further to above... it was a pipeline breach. The oil company initially denied it, but it isn't being denied anymore.

    Suspension of Trans Mountain pipeline spending creates tensions between B.C and Alberta, federal govt

    http://nationalpost.com/news/suspensio-of-trans-mountain-pipeline-spending-creates-tensions-between-b-c-and-alberta-federal

    You good folks from BC/Alberta...will this end the pipeline?  is there room for compromise?  was there alternate routes that would have been better?

    Fantastic news, at least for the time being! Some think this is the beginning of Kinder Morgan's exit strategy from the project. I certainly hope so. I've often said that I didn't think the protests would actually work, because oil always wins.... I'm hoping this development is the first sign of me being proven wrong.

    The AB premier has already threatened British Columbians again, lol. She's upset about Kinder Morgan's announcement so says that she's going to get revenge on BCers through sanctions. She's such an idiot, seriously.

    Yes, it definitely seems to have. So did voting for a different premier in BC. The people spoke - that's how it's supposed to work. I just didn't have too much faith that it would just because, you know, oil companies and money. I figured if it didn't work in Standing Rock, where the argument was even stronger against it, then it couldn't possibly work here, but perhaps I was wrong! But we'll see... Sounds like we have to wait until May 31st to really find out where it's going to go as far as Kinder Morgan is concerned.

    Agreed on the mutant Clark notion here. She would not have been opposed to the project no matter how people in BC felt about it.

    Hell no. 99% of the province could have been against it and she still would have acted like we're all a bunch of idiots and made it happen anyway, mainly because she definitely would have found way to grease her own gears and line her own pockets by doing so. She's scum, I hate her, lol.
