No wonder they were agog

All the premiers -- except Eby, who was off in Asia doing something-or-other irrelevant-- raved about the meeting with Carney.  Even Danielle Smith was optimistic.  I wonder why? 

It must have been because he is still hiding his Trojan Horse green agenda.  Has to be.  Either that, or he lied to their faces about what he plans to do.  Or not do.  At least Trudeau was an assh-le to their faces.  Carney is professionally more smarmy and deceptive.  Ah yes, many years in the velvet and duplicitous boardrooms of bankers...  

His big promise is to eliminate inter-provincial trade barriers.  Has he not noticed that PMs have been promising that for decades?  Has he not noticed it can't be done?  The hundreds of provincial regulatory and licencing bodies will see to that.  Their self interest will override any attempts to dismantle them.  Quebec will never ever do away with its supply "management", aka price fixing, in the dairy and egg industries. 

So, that's gone.

His other biggie is to immediately build projects that are in the national interest.  The coffee cups hadn't even been cleared away from the conference room before Assembly of First Nations chief, Cindy Nepinak, took to the airwaves and fired off a letter to Carney claiming that any proposed project was subject to treaty rights and lots-and-lots-and-lots of consultation with the Indigenous.

Here's the rub:  There are about 450 native bands across Canada.  Each one has a hereditary chief and an elected one, so that's almost a thousand people to "consult" with.  Nepinak thinks she speaks for all natives.  She doesn't.  Each chief will have his/her own agenda, so that puts the kibosh on any project getting a green light.  Forget about it.

All the separate agendas ruining any consultation with the natives.

The natives think that "consultation" is a synonym for "veto".  It isn't, but it might as well be.  As I keep saying, you can't get native buy in for anything because they have no skin in the game; they get their billions whether a project goes through or it doesn't.  So, Mark, you're stuck with announcements and pronouncements, but action will not follow.      

The other wake-up call was Carney's losing his first vote in the Commons.  He was asked to table a budget.  The motion passed, but he will ignore it and do whatever he wants.  There is so much skullduggery going on with this guy.  As I have said, he is a Laurentian elitist and a WEFer to the core and couldn't give a toss about Canada.  I mean, the guy's a billionaire, he doesn't need the gig!

A word about Haiti.  The current president is planning a trip to Canada to ask for more money.  As if we haven't given that country enough!  Billions!  And where has it gone?  Into the pockets of criminals and gangs.  Trump has that country's number.  That's why he's put it on his list of people banned from entering Canada.  What does Canada do?  We keep giving money to criminal countries and failed states on the list!  It's insane.

It better stop now.  We'll see.
