Net Zero Energy, PM JT please put Canada first!!!

[TOM4CWB]

FYI: On H and NH3:


Hi Thomas,

Another terrific week of ammonia announcements has us jetting around the globe again. In Brazil, the Transhydrogen Alliance will invest in private-public partnership that will produce 2.5 million tonnes of green ammonia for import to Rotterdam. For the first time we visit Angola, where a new hydroelectric ammonia project could reduce the country's reliance on fertiliser imports for agriculture. H2U's plans in Australia take another step with the selection of Casale as technology partner, and in Glasgow key ammonia energy players are foundling partners in the First Movers Coalition - a group looking to invest big & allow a rapid scale-up of decrabonisation technologies by 2030. Read on next door.

Cheers,

Transhydrogen Alliance to invest $2 billion in Brazil
The Transhydrogen Alliance - a consortium formed this year by Proton Ventures, Trammo DMCC and Varo Energy - will invest $2 billion in green hydrogen production at the Pecém Complex in the Brazilian state of Ceará. The project's aim is to produce 500,000 tonnes per year of green hydrogen, which will be converted to 2.5 million tonnes of green ammonia for import to Europe via the Port of Rotterdam."

Folks,

Now we need to use our extensive Nuclear [N] reserves in Western Canada to produce NH3 that is green and use this energy to become net zero C in our oil and gas sectors, especially in the heavy oil recovery, steam heated by N Nuclear for enhanced oil recovery, K2o, there is a huge opportunity here that is far greater than anyone else globally has, which could make western Canada the rock star of the global renewable energy Net zero of carbon emissions.

We need to have some brave Western Canadian Premiers to lead PM JT by the proverbial nose ring... and convince him to put Canada first instead of always putting Quebec first! Excess Hydro should be used in Canada... for renewable and net zero oil and gas, not sold off cheap to the USA on long term contracts!!!

Cheers

GOLDSTEIN: Alberta gets a raw deal while Trudeau rubs salt in the wound
Author of the article:Lorrie Goldstein
Publishing date:Nov 04, 2021
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently chose to mock and ignore the fact almost two-thirds of Albertans voted in favour of scrapping federal equalization payments to the provinces as unfair to Alberta.

That’s unfortunate and will further contribute to national disunity, because the equalization formula is only one of many legitimate concerns Albertans have about their broken financial relationship with the rest of the country.

WEATHERING TRUDEAU'S CLIMATE HYPOCRISY Once again: 'Do what we say, not what we do'

All the way back in the 1980 federal election that Justin Trudeau’s father won, Pierre Trudeau’s campaign chairman and senior strategist Sen. Keith Davey described the Liberals’ approach as, “screw the West, we’ll take the rest.”

It continues to this day.

It’s not just about the equalization program, where billions of federal tax dollars flow into Quebec every year to maintain its many social programs, while Alberta gets nothing.

It’s about Albertans having to endure self-righteous lectures from Quebec politicians sneering at the oil sands, while they scuttle interprovincial pipelines that would help the beleaguered Alberta economy raise the billions of dollars it sends to the federal government every year, beyond what Albertans get back in federal services.

Since 2007, according to the province, that totals $240 billion net that has gone into federal coffers, controlled since 2015 by an anti-oil Liberal prime minister who shows his disdain for Alberta’s resource-based economy everywhere from Parliament Hill to the ongoing UN climate summit in Glasgow, where Trudeau this week boasted about his anti-oil agenda to the world.


On the specific issue of equalization, the truth is the formula under which federal payments are made to the provinces, ostensibly to ensure government services like health care are equal across the country, is broken and needs major reforms.

A formula introduced by the Stephen Harper Conservative government in 2009 to put a ceiling on equalization payments never anticipated the global crash of oil prices which has turned the original purpose of that formula on its head.

Now it’s become a floor for equalization payments rather than a ceiling, which, according to a report by the Fraser Institute released Thursday, could result in the absurd situation by 2025 of Ontario once again becoming a so-called “have not” province, entitled to equalization payments of $5 billion annually.

That was never the intent of equalization, where the original purpose was to help smaller provinces with limited fiscal capacity and ability to raise taxes not fall behind the rest of the country in delivering public services like health care.

That said, it was a poor political strategy for Alberta Premier Jason Kenney to make the referendum question on the federal equalization program an up or down one on whether to keep it or scrap it.

That’s because scrapping it would require a constitutional amendment that can only be achieved with the consent of the House of Commons, the Senate and at least seven provinces with more than 50% of Canada’s population.

And that’s not going to happen because many provinces, led by Quebec, financially benefit under the current equalization formula.

What the referendum showed, however, is that the majority of Albertans are frustrated by their financial relationship with the federal government, just as Quebecers would be if the federal government was routinely attacking its hydro power industry, or Ontarians would be if it was regularly assaulting the auto sector.

If Trudeau was a statesman interested in Canadian unity, rather than a political opportunist who sets Canadians against one another, he would understand that.

While post-nationalism is not currently a formal policy in the way that multiculturalism is, the sentiment in the way that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau describes it is similar. Both multiculturalism and Trudeau's "post-national state" aim to affirm cultural diversity, but the latter is an ideology that is not clearly defined. Post-nationalism can be understood as a movement that occurs after nationalism, and it could also be understood as a resistance to nationalism.

A good article from Lorrie Goldstein. There are really only 2 solutions, the first one is a senate structured like that in the U.S., which is represented by province, say 10 senators per province. This would keep Prime Ministers in check, governing for the whole country. Without such a check and balance the only other solution is a separate country consisting of the prairie provinces and northern B.C. The present path is in my opinion a disaster with Quebec thumbing it’s nose at the rest of Canada!!

So PEI with a population of 160,000 should have the same political power as Alberta! LOL

If you want to separate pack up and move. Whats holding you back?

This is something I don’t understand why some on here continue to defend Quebec at every turn

The Senate of Canada (French: Sénat du Canada) is the upper house of the Parliament of Canada. The Senate is modelled after the British House of Lords and consists of 105 members appointed by the governor general on the advice of the prime minister.[1] Seats are assigned on a regional basis: four regions—defined as Ontario, Quebec, the Maritime provinces, and the Western provinces—each receive 24 seats, with the remaining nine seats allocated to the remaining portions of the country: six to Newfoundland and Labrador and one to each of the three northern territories. Senators serve until they reach the mandatory retirement age of 75.

Each province or territory is entitled to a specific number of Senate seats. The Constitution divides Canada into four areas, each with 24 senators: Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes, and Western Canada. Newfoundland and Labrador is represented by six senators. The Northwest Territories, the Yukon, and Nunavut are allocated one senator each. Quebec senators are the only ones to be assigned to specific districts within their province. This rule was adopted to ensure that both French- and English-speakers from Quebec were represented appropriately in the Senate.
Population per senator in each region (red = least population, green = most population)

Like most other upper houses worldwide, the Canadian formula does not use representation by population as a primary criterion for member selection, since this is already done for the House of Commons. Rather, the intent when the formula was struck was to achieve a balance of regional interests and to provide a house of "sober second thought" to check the power of the lower house when necessary. Therefore, the most populous province (Ontario) and two western provinces that were low-population at their accession to the federation and that are within a region are under-represented, while the Maritimes are over-represented. For example, British Columbia, with a population of about five million, sends six senators to Ottawa, whereas Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, both with populations under one million, are entitled to 10 senators each. Only Quebec has a share of senators approximate to its share of the total population.

You truly don’t think before you respond. PEI has 4 senators with a population of 160000, Alberta has 6 with a population of 4.5 million, almost the same now. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have 10 each far more than Alberta with far less population.

Maybe that would open some eyes if it were to happen.

[Ooofty]

This rule was adopted to ensure that both French- and English-speakers from Quebec were represented appropriately in the Senate.

Take your ****ing french language and stick it up your ****ing ass. Those ignorant ****s forced us to have that ****ing french on every ****ing package when no one needs it. What about all the other languages spoken in Canada. That dumb **** Blanchet should be kicked in the nuts every time he acts like the Quebecers are better then all the rest of us. **** Quebec, **** anyone who would vote for a silver spoon bitch like Trudo and **** ChuckChuck. If this site wasn't so hard up for viewers Chuck chuck would be banned as a troll.
