Middle East conflicts affecting Canada?

[pelmet]

There is an upcoming shortage of a number of critical items.

- Fertilizer
- LNG
- Helium
- Jet fuel
- Tungsten

Doesn't look like the conflict is ending anytime soon.

Yes - this will affect Canada. Weak leadership has consequences.

Yup....Imagine if Harper and the conservatives had been voted in instead of trudeau and all those energy projects had been approved. The amount of wealth intake would have been massive. But hey.......that little Syrian kid on the beach was too important.

More like.....foolish votes have consequences. And when you vote for someone who gets economic advice from a 16 year old girl, the majority ain't gonna get wealthier.

How many pipelines did Harper build?



The one Trudeau built isn’t even at full capacity yet.

Folks,

I have said many times that you are being lied to or intentionally misled by Bob.

So to answer his question....

4 major Pipelines Were Built in Canada between 2006 and 2015.

1. Enbridge Alberta Clipper – 1607km. Applied 2007, approved 2008, built in 2010 and transports 450,000 barrels per day. (https://www.reuters.com/article/enbridg ... 1720080827)

2. Trans Canada Keystone. 1247km (in Canada). Applied 2006, approved 2007, built 2010, and transports 435,000 barrels per day. (https://www.tcenergy.com/announcements/ ... .-midwest/)

3. Enbridge Line 9B Reversal. 639km (affected) Applied 2012, approved 2014, operational in 2015, and transports 300,000 barrels per day. (https://www.enbridge.com/ECRAI.aspx)

4. Kinder Morgan Anchor Loop. 160km. Approved in 2006, Built 2008, and transports 40,000 barrels per day. (https://www.jwnenergy.com/article/2017/ ... t-trans-m/).

Remember how I said to never trust Bob. To quote an article....

"It is noteworthy that between the years of 2006-2011 Prime Minister Harper had two minority governments, which hampered the ability of the government of the day to change the laws and regulations that would streamline the large project application process.

After forming a majority government in 2011, former Finance Minister, the late Jim Flaherty, tabled Bill C-38, the Jobs, Growth and Prosperity Act, which among other things, created a predictable, thorough and streamlined approach to issuing certificates for major pipelines. It did not remove environmental regulations but instead, established time limits for regulatory reviews and created a predictable timeline for energy companies who wanted to invest in Canada. Bill C-38, passed in 2012.

In 2015 the Trudeau Liberals inherited billions of dollars in energy projects that were either fully approved or progressing well towards approval. Unfortunately, many of these projects were either killed by the Prime Minister directly or made unviable by the Liberal’s disastrous anti-energy policies and Bills like C-48 (Tanker Ban) and C-69 (No More Pipelines) that created economic uncertainty that caused investments to flee our country, along with good paying jobs:

Energy East – applied in August 2013, cancelled by then TransCanada in 2017, citing “existing and likely future delays resulting from the regulatory process, (more like heaping on red tape and environmental requirements that even imported oil doesn’t have to comply with) the associated cost implications and the increasingly challenging issues and obstacles.” Project Value – $15.7B https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/transc ... -1.4338227

Northern Gateway – applied in May 2010, approved by the Conservative Government in June 2014. Despite support from industry and indigenous communities, Justin Trudeau made good on an election promise and cancels this pipeline in November 2016. Project value – $7B https://financialpost.com/commodities/e ... chiefs-say"

Bob and his liberal/NFDP friends are lying and intentionally misleading you folks.

'Net Zero' - a cautionary tale.

The Operations manager of the Spanish power grid operator Red Electrica is apparently a woman who is not only not an Engineer but also has no experience with power generation.

She is there to promote the 'Net Zero' agenda. Putting ideologues in charge over competent, experienced people is never a good idea imho.

Just under a year ago 'Net Zero' was achieved - I experienced it first hand in Lisbon. Everything electrical failed including the phone network and Internet.

A nice summary of events and causes:-

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ ... r-blackout

Respect for all the Engineers (some came in on their off days) who cold started a number of power plants and got the grid back up. Took 12 hours to get most of it back.

'Net Zero' is a fantasy story - unfortunately it is a policy goal in Canada (Power Grid 100% renewables by 2035!). "Net Zero' by 2050.

Economic Suicide imho. Build some refineries instead!

A real life Cloward - Piven strategy?

Seems less of a source problem and more of a management of the grid. Also the non woke still burning coal blackout of 2003 was also not attributed to how the electricity was made. Nice non biased news source btw.

Thought I would prove that Bob is intentionally misleading you in the rest of his statement as well(regarding capacity). While the statement is technically correct, it is designed to mislead people into thinking that there is no reason to build another pipeline.

Folks.....the standard of living for Canadians is going downhill. AI layoffs will make it much worse. The time is now to invest massively in our natural resources to prevent a huge wealth decrease. Hundreds of thousands of good jobs can be created. Only the conservatives truly understand this.

The traitorous(to their own voters based on their campaigning statements) floor crossers should return and hold the government to account and make a full effort to utilize our resources instead of a half-hearted attempt compounded by waste on high speed railway boondoggles. The railway money(and CBC money) should go straight to health-care.

Oil is trading below $90 a barrel this morning. And according to some posters on the other thread Air Canada is supposed to do a fair amount of hiring in 2026. Stay positive folks.

We've seen the door can shut amazingly fast!

Well, this will certainly change some folks thoughts.

Air Canada suspending flights to JFK over jet fuel prices.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/a ... el-prices/

[Eric Janson]

Just reading an article today that here in the EU we are down to 6 weeks of Jet Fuel.

Lufthansa is accelerating its restructuring - massive losses with the spike in fuel prices. I doubt they're alone.

I would expect to see an increasing number of flights getting cancelled in the next few weeks.

Asia is the Canary in the coal mine.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/a ... el-prices/

AC only flys to JFK maybe 3 times a day between YUL and YYZ. They fly multiple times daily to EWR and LGA and that hasn't been affected. Did you see the network expansion they recently announced? This hardly seems like cause for concern, let alone news worthy internally. Once international markets and several domestic/transborder routes get axed/postponed, then maybe it'll be time to 'panic'

[altiplano]

Air Canada did a big slot trade and consolidated their NYC operation into EWR & LGA years back and is around 35-40 flights per day to those airports. All that remained at JFK is once per day from each YUL & YYZ. Not much to see here...

These are mostly people who are connecting to overseas flights. Have done it myself in the last year. Some who are going to JFK due to its location in NYC can simply go to LGA on AC and still get their Aeroplan points. It is $60 US dollars and 30-45 minutes to JFK by taxi(did that as well in the last year - the other way). A few can choose another airline. Perhaps less people going to the US anyways combined now with less overseas travelers connecting pushed these routes over the edge.

[lostav8r]

Further cuts coming :/

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/air-cana ... -9.7167904

[Eric Janson]

I see a lot of people focusing on fuel price.

The issue is availability - there won't be fuel available at any price.

This affects everyone - there won't be flights to Seoul or Frankfurt if there is no fuel available at these locations.

This isn't hypothetical - it's inevitable at this point.

Things are going to get really bad imho.

[BigQ]

Fuel, gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, furnace oil, bunker fuel, plastic, nitrogen-rich fertilizer, pharmaceuticals, helium, refrigerants.

Secondary cause: everything else, especially items built cheaply in Asia, products that come from hydrocarbon-intensive industries like mining, shipping, metallurgy, fabrics, farming, etc

China: Banned fuel exports. Sitting on reserves but airlines are already cutting flights.

Thailand: Government WFH mandated. AC temperature floors set. Oil tax cuts planned.

Malaysia: Fixed fuel price costs RM4 billion a month to defend. Was RM700 million before the war.

Australia: Fuel excise halved. Citizens urged to leave fuel for farmers and miners only.

Ireland: €505 million emergency package after fuel protests shut down major roads for a week.

Egypt: Restaurants shut at 9pm. Government vehicle fuel allowances cut by a third.

Kenya: Fuel protests erupted. Petrol VAT cut from 16% to 8%.
