I did not realize congress had to ask an unelected idiot for permission for anything.

A lot of work was unfulfilled to get that gas south. Maybe the enormous resources should have an export terminal north.

Wasn't some transhipment always part of the business case for KXL? An alternate egress opportunity?29 Jan 2025 19:47 +0000at://did:plc:v7pwdelbxpj7vbws4rusif7l/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgvqea7jvk2khttps://bsky.app/profile/easternedge.bsky.social/post/3lg7sxznkxk22Lots of news today but a real example of the ineptitude of our current CDN government is that 3 weeks into 2025 TurboTax is still unable to provide workable version of their tax software. It is broken not only for capital gains but also RRSP contributions. Used it for decades but now it is broken.21 Jan 2025 02:35 +0000at://did:plc:v7pwdelbxpj7vbws4rusif7l/app.bsky.feed.post/3lg7sxznkxk22https://bsky.app/profile/easternedge.bsky.social/post/3lflnppenj22z@roryjohnston.bsky.social rumor has it that a Poilievre win would end the hold on Equinor's Flemish Path projects off NL. That's believable as the current admins environmental overlay is a non trivial burden. Could be a very big deal for the entire basin.

If Trump is trying to recreate the McKinley era of no income tax but tariffs, he also needs to offset the balance sheet with tax changes, right? Doesn't he need Congress to effect those changes? So slapping mega tariffs on trade, while not cutting taxes "hugely" will really self hurt?18 Dec 2024 00:40 +0000at://did:plc:v7pwdelbxpj7vbws4rusif7l/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldk4ojhcc22uhttps://bsky.app/profile/easternedge.bsky.social/post/3ldchhihhnc2vThe Real Cost of Net Zero: The shocking truth of the renewable energy push: https://youtu.be/YbxpieEQ7bc?si=GUYcxMBAuthDZSts14 Dec 2024 23:32 +0000at://did:plc:v7pwdelbxpj7vbws4rusif7l/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldchhihhnc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/easternedge.bsky.social/post/3lckpjnhvsc2sExcellent documentary on the problems with Australia's move to Net Zero. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbxpieEQ7bc05 Dec 2024 12:52 +0000at://did:plc:v7pwdelbxpj7vbws4rusif7l/app.bsky.feed.post/3lckpjnhvsc2shttps://bsky.app/profile/easternedge.bsky.social/post/3lc2ewvxog223Go Team Gushue.
