The 8,000 pound elephant in the room isn’t being addressed by any of them. That being the fact, and it’s been a fact for quite some time now, that there is a HUGE shortage of qualified trades people available in the country. The construction industry is crying for skilled workers and contractors have been turning down the projects that developers and government would like to see go ahead but because of lack of manpower, ..errr , sorry, peoplepower it’s not happening. So how they propose to build 500,000 new dwelling units over the next 12 and a half months on top of existing projects is beyond me. And then another 500,000 each successive year ? That’s about as likely as a new pipeline to the east, or west, or north, or south or anywhere. Jesus save us , lol .

While I can't argue with you, don't lump the whole country into that. It's likely true in Ontario, but is it in NFLD / Labrador?

I would think NL and L would likely agree. I spent a month In NL this past summer and pretty much everywhere I heard about the west drawing all the residents away for more work and higher paying work. And you see it driving down any road on the vehicle in front of you. Maybe Fred @12cents can give an opinion on if this in the case.

Certainly not to the same extent but at the same time there isn’t anywhere near the same requirement. Construction in Halifax for example is off the charts. The demand is unprecedented. Same in all of the major population areas . Which is good .

Interesting Quebec allows oil on the St. Lawrence?... I wonder if dickhead Blanchett knows that.... This is from his statement in February.

“We are fiercely opposed to any type of transport on Quebec territory of hydrocarbons from Western Canada to any market whatsoever."

The Seaway isn't Quebec property. It's a Canadian / USA property.

Note that he says any hydrocarbons from western Canada to any market whatsoever. What about the hydrocarbons they buy for Quebec's use that they transport on their soil that come from across the ocean. That to me would seam like a much less green alternative than using western Canada hydrocarbons. IMHO...

I was only pointing out a fact about the seaway. Nothing else.

Part of the issue is the type of crude that can be refined at the facilities in Quebec from what I understand. They require a lighter grade of crude than what comes from Western Canada.

The St. Lawrence Seaway is managed through a binational partnership between Canada and the United States. In Canada, the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC), a not-for-profit corporation, operates and maintains the Canadian portion of the Seaway. The Canadian government retains ownership of these assets. In the U.S., the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation, manages the U.S. portion. Both entities work together to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the Seaway.

Didn't I say that? LOL. I could have cut and pasted all that, but I chose the "Coles notes". ;)

We are so short of tradespeople it is not even funny. Delays in building schools and homes already and that was before the government announced the hospital. Add to that, a major hydro project beginning in a few years in Labrador that will require thousands. A mine in Labrador West may be delayed to a lack of workers (housing is already a problem there before this mine even begins). It might be a problem for the rest of Canada when all the Newfoundlanders pick up and head back East.

Since the polls have done a 180 since Carney the savior is now more popular than Jesus, and the orange turd from the south has thrown his support with the Liberals, I am horrified to think that we may be destined for another 4 years of a Trudeau with different hair.

Funny, I took the turds supposed support for M.C. as more a tactical support to P.P. seeing turd, for some reason, is not well liked up here. So turd is probably well aware of that so lets support the knowledgeable guy that we don't wanted to bargain with and try to get people to support P.P.
Listening to M.C. of late sounds like he knows what he is talking about.
As I mentioned previously, lets watch who throws around our tax $$$ to get our votes. Problem not the guy we want

Well. So much for national interest. This was from 4 days ago. Given what's happening with Trump and the help they expect from the rest of Canada it's harder to accept this attitude now than it was in 2014. I would sincerely hope the people of Quebec will think differently on April 28.

“There is no more of a chance that I would support Energy East than there is a chance that I would sign the Canadian Constitution,” Blanchet said.
“There are no significant economic benefits for Quebec in this project, but there is a quantifiable and measurable ecological impact,” Blanchet said, standing in front of Neuville city hall.
There is no payoff for us to put billions of dollars into the oil of the west that harms the environment, instead of keeping our money and investing it in an economic model that is compatible with the interests of Quebec ........

You have to remember who P.B. represents. They'll throw as much $$it on the wall to get people riled up thinking we are all a bunch of A holes here. Just playing to their base. Something like the turd, they like uneducated people!
