Actually, it's not just Geebow.
All those old Liberal Cabinet Ministers when asked any questions sound the same as they did for the last 10 yrs.
But don't worry. They've got your back. They are working hard every day for Canadians.

Carney is going to have to give them some cheat sheets on the new economic plan to make Canada the strongest economy in the G20?
No need for a budget or a sitting HOC.

WTF does Geebow, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Minister Responsible for Official Languages, have any business saying anything about pipelines? Stay in your lane buddy! Not your job!

You know, Geebow, keep on promoting the Liberal version of Canadian Identity, Liberals smoking drugs anywhere they want, shooting needles full of government supplied free opioids, taking a shit on the street anywhere you want (volunteers will pick it up), pissing your pants while you lean against a building in any of our large cities (while families walk past stepping over you while shopping), all while picking which of your perceived 30 different genders you feel like being today, dreaming of having your genitals removed free of charge (thank goodness) while stealing a car and then being released the same day to go do it again. That’s the Liberal version of Canadian Identity.

And as for official languages, well we’re screwed, can’t understand anyone taking orders at Tim Hortons anymore, they jibber along and screw up your order nearly every time. We’ll need to just deport them all. Which official language do they speak anyway? Cause it ain’t English and it ain’t French. Maybe Liberal Minister of Official Languages can smoke joint and figure it out.

Funnily enough Smith and the Petro province never mention the Transmountain pipeline that Ottawa purchased in their perennial list of grievance and over reach!

Let the private sector finance and build pipelines and don't continue to subsidize the oil industry.

Pipelines that cross provincial borders are in the jurisdiction of the federal government.

"Has Ottawa facilitated or obstructed the spectacular post-1990 growth of oilsands production?

The record shows that, since the mid-1970s, Ottawa has facilitated and supported the oilsands sector. The federal government helped keep the Syncrude project alive in 1975 when it took a 15 per cent interest in Canada’s second oilsands operation.

Ironically, Ottawa’s enthusiasm for more, not less, petroleum from the oilsands also appeared in 1980 via the National Energy Program, the devil in Alberta’s conservative catechism. What most accounts of the NEP don’t mention is that Ottawa offered tax benefits ([url]https://andrewleach.ca/uncategorized/the-national-energy-program-a-missed-boom-for-the-oil-sands/[/url]) to oilsands companies while stripping them from conventional oil producers.

Furthermore, the NEP’s “made-in-Canada” pricing effectively guaranteed Syncrude would receive the world price for its production. At $38 per barrel, Syncrude received more than double ([url]https://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2016/rncan-nrcan/M23-12-80-4-eng.pdf[/url]) what conventional producers received. If the NEP was harsh on conventional oil producers, it helped create a golden future for the oilsands.

In the mid-1990s, Ottawa helped propel the post-1995 oilsands boom. The industry-dominated National Task Force on Oil Sands Strategies sought federal tax concessions to promote oilsands growth. The federal government delivered them in its 1996 budget despite then-prime minister Jean Chrétien’s general concern with cutting the deficit.

Again, these measures clearly contradict the myth of federal opposition to the oil industry.

Ottawa’s policy favouritism towards the oilsands didn’t end there. It has consistently animated the federal government’s treatment of the oilsands in its climate change policies.

The federal Climate Change Plan for Canada (2002) treated oil and gas leniently. Its measures for large industrial emitters bore a striking resemblance to the climate change policy preferences of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. Suncor and Syncrude, the two leading oilsands producers, estimated these federal proposals would add a pittance, between 20 and 30 cents, to their per-barrel production costs.

Finally, we have today’s proposed national cap on greenhouse gas emissions. Alberta is apoplectic about the cap. But whether or not it’s intentional, Premier Danielle Smith’s outrage feeds into secessionist sentiment by seemingly misrepresenting the cap’s impact on oil and gas production.

Smith and her environment minister use the work of the parliamentary budget officer, or PBO, to nurture their “Ottawa hates oil” narrative. They claim the officer’s analysis of the cap’s economic impact showed it “will cut oil and gas production by five per cent, or more than 245,000 barrels per day.”

This is simply not true.

In fact, the PBO concluded that, with the cap, oilsands production “is projected to remain well above current levels” — 15 per cent higher than in 2022. The proposed federal emissions cap, like the Alberta NDP’s cap of a decade ago, is higher than current oilsands emissions levels. The PBO concluded the proposed ceiling for oilsands emissions would be six per cent higher than 2022 emissions.

Ottawa’s proposed cap, in fact, continues its decades-long support of the oilsands."

From: Busting the Myth That Ottawa Has Hurt Alberta’s Oil Industry

In fact, federal governments have promoted and protected it. Especially the oilsands.
