Human rights, tribal resources and the death of endangered species aside, Canada’s energy regulators think it’s a great idea to greenlight an oil shipping lane that would boost transportation sevenfold. The project is facing fierce opposition.

The National Energy Board ended up recommending the Trudeau government go ahead with the Trans Mountain oil sands pipeline – a CA$6.8 billion Canadian (US$5.4 billion) project that will run through the Salish Sea and boost pipeline capacity from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels of crude a day. The shipping lane will be used to carry Alberta’s oil over to British Columbia, to then be loaded onto tankers for export to the US and Asia. When (and if) complete, the project will see 350 additional tankers annually travel those waters. The federal government now has seven months to reach a final decision.

I’m so relieved … now no one needs any sense of responsibility. Spit Spit 🙁

TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – TSX-V-listed explorer Samco Gold has terminated a 2014 participation and option (P&O) agreement with director Dr Ricardo Auriemma after a strategic review of its business, instead opting to enter into an agreement with Yamana Gold for the sale of the company’s Corina property, located adjacent to Yamana’s Cerro Moro property, in Santa Cruz, Argentina.

Read where Ryan and Obama were talking about bailing out Puerto Rico (70 billion), perhaps after that they can find their way to bail out those Illinois pension funds. Its only money afterall. <spit> 🙁

That’s a friggin disaster with no easy answers … and when Illinois goes BK who’s going to pick up the bill? You just know there’ll be a concerted effort to have the Feds pick it up, the US taxpayer pay the bill for these incredible benefits and payrolls. Eff that!

I think that steel tariff story is true. I’ve read it elsewhere such as:

China steelmakers attack U.S tariff move; say need more time

LOL Hey let’s go into the meat packing business. I don’t know much about obtaining the product but I’ve got a great name for the company: “Donner Meats.” What do you think amigo? 🙂

Those union folk should be offering up a 29% pay cut with the ‘savings’ going to shore up their looming pension nightmare.

” The pension mess hasn’t ended at all. Not one bit. Illinoisans still own the worst pension debt in the nation at $111 billion thanks to lawmakers and union chiefs, over decades, agreeing to skip pension payments.”

Comment: I think they should add to the Highest Crime Rate already in the Nation by including the financial crimes that go on in Chicago. Would be a whopper of a number. Sure to keep them in No 1 position for years to come.

I wonder if that ZH story about the tariffs on Chinese steel was actually true. I’d think if it were true it would be blasted all over CNBS this am and the SM would be in trouble. Not hearing it anywhere.

BTW – is that marinated meat being shipped to Africa white meat or dark meat?

I prefer dark meat myself.

Illinois State Workers, Highest Paid In Nation, Demand Up To 29% Wage Hikes

Submitted by Michael Shedlock via MishTalk.com,

Illinois state workers, are the highest paid in the nation.

Yet, despite the fact that Illinois is for all practical purposes insolvent, the AFSCME union demands four-year raises ranging from 11.5 to 29 percent, overtime after 37.5 hours of work per week, five weeks of vacation and enhanced health care coverage.

AFSCME workers already get platinum healthcare benefits that would make nearly everyone in the country green with envy.

Maybe the pm’s have stopped the bleeding from the raid on Wednesday?

Chelsea inherited her mothers financial existence off of other people’s innovations and money instead of creating or making their own.  A chip off the old block.

We’ve got a private car!   Just waiting to leave the station now.  All Aboard!

Chelsea appears to have inherited her mother’s ‘battleship hips’ !

Perhaps their failures are spurring them on.

The EU
QE
PM suppression?
Trump rebellion

That’s just a sudden, bizarre twist. I know Trump wants tariffs, but what the hell just happened? Where did that come from?

Now we have these sudden TSA long lines and a terrorist attack on Egyptair?

Maybe I’m over thinking but the NWO crowd seems to be on overdrive.

Seems to me the Chinese will react somehow. They have a menu to choose from.

Worrisome to me recently hearing: China ready to go militarily … Russia ditto … and the US placing missiles on the borders with Russia. Perhaps Trump will rein in the aggressive policies of the NWO crowd. That’s what I’m hoping, Trump negotiating with Putin and withdrawing some of the provocation. With Hellary we know it will be just more of the same.

Saw that ZH article about the tariffs, that is unbelievably inflationary and coincides with what I heard yesterday at my company with steel prices on the rise.

Good that we should make our own stuff but could get really ugly short term unless you own pm’s

There is speculation that Anonymous is a gov op and they will use hackers to blame in case of meltdown. So much deviousness and so many deviants in charge, anything is possible.

i wonder if this is for real

China Furious After US Launches Trade War “Nuke” With 522% Duty

Now that China’s brief infatuation with “rationalizing” excess capacity in its massively glutted (and insolvent) steel sector is over after lasting all of 2-3 months, China is back to doing what it did in late 2015 (and what it has always done) when as we reported, a surge in Chinese exports led to the first salvos in the trade war between China – the world’s biggest exporter of various steel products and is responsible for half the entire world’s steel output – and countries who are importing dumped Chinese products at the expense of their own steel and mining industries.

Nowhere has this trade tension been more obvious than in the UK, where in recent months angry, protesting steel workers have been demanding rising protectionist steps against a country they, rightfully, see as unleashing a global commodity deflation driven by out of control, and unprofitable by highly subsidized, production by Chinese steel mills.

The US was not left unscathed: we reported in December that “The Trade Wars Begin: U.S. Imposes 256% Tariff On Chinese Steel Imports” and since then things have progressively turned worse, finally culminating overnight with an outburst of anger from Chinese officials who, after attempting to flood not just the US but also the entire world with their commodity in general and steel in particular, exports…

Yes I know and unless hildabeast gets in hopefully he’ll be removed from his post. I don’t think that the demos even like Killery and maybe plans to select another. This border issue has gone on for decades and took this long to bring up and when they do they make a mess of it. Those who try to get through legally like seasonal workers then go back home can’t get through while criminals  just walk across with their drugs or build tunnels. Both establishment republicans and demos have failed. They are not expanding wealth but contracting it and causing further divide of the haves and have nots for personal gain. Third world will continue to have more children than they can afford not the global means to feed them. It’s already happening now but they don’t stop. Taking in more wont stop it and as we see with here and europe welfare system only enables it.

That Was a good close for us. Surprising!

Maybe the cretins have shot their bolt …

Cheers
