This spat is like the finale of Reservoir Dogs, where three of the criminal gang are caught in a Mexican standoff that doesn’t end well for any of them

So, remember the finale of Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, where three of the criminal gang, guns pointed at one another, are caught in a Mexican standoff that doesn’t end well for any of them? The resulting shootout sees “Nice Guy” Eddie gun down Mr. White, who in turn shoots Eddie and his father, Joe. With all three dead, Mr. Pink grabs the satchel of diamonds and runs for the door.

As Singh never tires of saying, climate leaders don’t build pipelines. The problem is that, until this week, the NDP leader has supported a liquified natural gas development that includes a pipeline to northern B.C. Singh appears increasingly to be a man of no convictions. A Tuesday interview with Power and Politics host Vassy Kapelos was painful. He was asked directly three times whether he still supports the LNG project and three times he equivocated.

The NDP tried to discomfit the Liberals with its motion — forcing the government to vote against it because of the Trans Mountain clause. The environment remains a shield issue for Conservative leader Andrew Scheer. But increasingly, it has become a shield issue for the Liberals too. McKenna remains adamant that the Liberals will meet the Paris target, but the current shortfall suggests further increases in the carbon tax post-2022.

Climate science violates the basic precepts of science

Current snapshot of oil tankers in Canadian waters. Seems a bit unbalanced

They spent all this time exploiting people, fear mongering and creating panic and now they are going to find the can't please anyone but their useful idiots because the expectations are so out of line wth reality they have passed the point of delusional

Sure, showdown on climate change. Sure.Nobody gives flying rat's ass. Burying our resources in energy powerhouse Canada while demand for oil and gas steadily rises worldwide for next 40 years via third world development. Fools. Complete fools in media. Shame for such stupidity.

Great Pic choice 🙂

Where? Alberta? BC? Not sure where these votes are going to materialize from. Or what political calculations lead to this conclusion. Too little, too late.
