What Mr Poilievre won’t tell you:

2/3 of the federal budget is spent on pensions, health care, provincial transfers, welfare, defence and debt servicing.

If you are promising to lower taxes, where will you cut spending?

Which one of the above areas will Pierre Poilievre AXE Services?
Construction, developers & infrastructure unions & corps own this province, tks to Pr Ford willing to share our public monies w/ his wealthy, male-dominated donors.

That we have allowed Canada’s future to be defined by one narrative, that of a pipeline, demonstrates an immaturity permeating the leadership of this country - in politics, in industry & in business community.

Maybe show this to Mark Carney.

Maybe not the time to force through more LNG infrastructure.
China is not buying US LNG. It is buying discounted Russian LNG. But still overall LNG imports for China are down quite a bit this year.

"China’s overall LNG imports by volume declined in October by 10.3 per cent, year on year, with the value slumping 27.5 per cent."
China buys Russian LNG at record-high levels, steep discounts as West retreats
Beijing capitalises on discounted energy, securing unprecedented Russian shipments in October while global sanctions reshape trade flows.
