January 16, 20205 yr comment_457333 Oh, look... More partisan tears from the con-troll with no actual proof to substantiate his bullshit narrative and exaggerated stories of the progressive, liberal, lefty boogeyman hellbent on destroying "traditional" culture and morals. Meanwhile, in actual news: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/usmca-senate-passes-1.5429451 Quote Senators on Capitol Hill have finally approved the latest version of North America's free trade pact. The implementation bill for the long-awaited U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement passed on a vote of 89-10. That means it now needs only the signature of President Donald Trump to be fully approved in the United States. Canada itself has yet to ratify the agreement, a process that's expected to begin shortly after MPs return to the House of Commons Jan. 27.

January 22, 20205 yr comment_457924 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-unpaid-taxes-oil-industry-rural-municipalities-1.5433435 Quote The amount of unpaid property taxes that oil and gas companies owe Alberta rural municipalities has more than doubled over the last year, a trend some are calling a tax revolt. Rural Municipalities Alberta said Monday that a survey of its members shows that they are owed a total of $173 million — a 114 per cent increase since a similar survey was done last spring. "Municipalities require property taxes to provide the infrastructure and services that industry relies on to access natural resources," association president Al Kemmere said in a release. "If Alberta's property tax system is not amended to prevent oil and gas companies from refusing to pay property taxes, many rural municipalities will struggle to remain viable."

January 30, 20205 yr comment_459057 https://www.transparency.org/cpi2019 Quote Since its inception in 1995, the Corruption Perceptions Index, Transparency International’s flagship research product, has become the leading global indicator of public sector corruption. The index offers an annual snapshot of the relative degree of corruption by ranking countries and territories from all over the globe. In 2012, Transparency International revised the methodology used to construct the index to allow for comparison of scores from one year to the next. The 2019 CPI draws on 13 surveys and expert assessments to measure public sector corruption in 180 countries and territories, giving each a score from zero (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). Canada was ranked 12th in the world last year. Edited January 30, 20205 yr by blue_gold_84 update

February 4, 20205 yr comment_459710 https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-court-appeal-trans-mountain-1.5450748 Quote The Federal Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal by Indigenous groups challenging the federal government's approval of the Trans Mountain expansion project — clearing yet another major legal hurdle for the long-delayed $7.4 billion project, which will carry nearly a million barrels of Alberta oil per day to the B.C. coast. In a unanimous 3-0 decision, the court ruled that Ottawa carried out "reasonable" and "meaningful" consultations with Indigenous peoples affected by the project's construction before approving the pipeline for a second time. "This was anything but rubber-stamping exercise. The end result was not a ratification of the earlier approval, but an approval with amended conditions flowing directly from renewed consultation," the court said. "All very much consistent with the concepts of reconciliation and the honour of the Crown."
