An Open Letter from Grant G...

The Straight Goods on Justin Trudeau


Written by Grant G


17 Federal Liberal MPs elected in the province of British Columbia.....4 Federal Liberals elected in Alberta and 1 Federal MP elected in Saskatchewan.....I don't see a whole lot of Federal Liberal support in Alberta and Saskatchewan and I don't see that changing even with pipeline announcements...

Pamela Goldsmith Jones, the name of the riding you temporarily represent is called  West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country, a lot of imagery is portrayed in that riding name, coast, sunshine, sea..

Terry Beech, you won by a narrow margin in Federal election 2015.

Your leader, Justin Trudeau's decision to approve Kinder Morgan has destined your term in Federal office to one term, in fact, Justin Trudeau's Kinder Morgan decision has destined all you Liberal British Columbia elected Federal MPs time in office to one term....I don't think even Hedy Fry would survive the next Federal election...  and it is true, Hedy Fry has a massive federal pension for life and isn't interested in running again, her next election replacement is doomed to last party status, as in not getting elected....

Maybe i'm wrong about Alberta and Saskatchewan, perhaps, just perhaps Justin Trudeau will pick up enough support in the next Federal election from those two provinces to make up for his west coast MPs being punted from office......but I don't think so....

There is a way for all you British Columbia elected Federal MP's to save your skin...Sit as independents, walk across the floor and join the NDP, join the Greens...

Now, you B.C. Federal elected MPs might say to yourself, sitting as an independent or joining a party in third place will keep you out of the loop, no chance to be involved in government decision making...

But that isn't true, Justin Trudeau already ignored your impassioned pleas to reject Kinder Morgan or re-route the pipeline path to Cherry Point......So, at present you MPs don't represent your riding to Ottawa, you BC MPs are mere trained seals sent by Ottawa, you have no input and zero say in anything....However, if you British Columbia MPs on mass sit as independents or cross the floor you will in fact become very powerful and actually represent the wishes of the constituents who voted for you...

This letter isn't a threat, elections are the purest form of Democracy. Let me qualify that, Honest Elections are the Purest Form of Democracy...

I'm not talking about rigged voting or voter suppression, honest elections, or in the case of federal election 2015 ....Dishonest Election 2015.

Dishonesty comes in many forms.....election 2015 the voters of Canada rejected Stephen Harper and rejected his ramrod policies, rejected secrecy, rejected pay to play politics, rejected an oil industry dominated NEB board, rejected Stephen Harper's obsession with Alberta oil and pipelines, rejected predetermined outcomes when it comes to big oil and big oil projects...

Justin Trudeau is more of threat than Stephen Harper was....

With Stephen Harper you knew what you were getting, he was the one that filled the NEB with energy industry proponents, ..Harper didn't believe in global warming and didn't promise to do anything to mitigate GHG emissions and Stephen Harper didn't promise a new Canadian direction at the COP21 Paris climate summit....

You Justin Trudeau during election 2015 told the electorate that only communities could grant social license....You told Paris that Canada was back as a climate leader, you promised a new relationship with First Nations, you promised to reform the NEB and let science and truth dictate policy...You Justin Trudeau promised an open accountable government, you Justin Trudeau promised electoral reform and an end to first past the post way of electing government...

Barely one year into your mandate Justin Trudeau and you have broken near everyone of your election promises...

Electoral reform, once in power your desire to change the system that granted you temporary power has waned...

You have had pay to play private fundraisers with Chinese billionaires with vested corporate interests.

 You granted an environmental approval for a LNG liquefaction plant situated at and on the Skeena River estuary...Canada's most productive wild salmon river...You let bad, flawed science from industry go through the NEB unchallenged and denied real science a chance to present facts..

With thousands of miles of West coast you allowed the worst possible location environmentally be the home of Petronas' LNG plant...You granted approval to what would be Canada's biggest single point carbon emitter and destined the Skeena River Wild Salmon to extinction, and possibly extinction to animals who rely on that sustainable food source..

You Justin Trudeau approved Kinder Morgan's tripling of their pipeline capacity and a 7 fold increase in tanker traffic in British Columbia, right through the heart of Canada's West Coast Jewel, through the most populated areas....

Justin Trudeau....People today aren't getting educated by watching television, watching CAPP ads, Kinder Morgan feel good ads, in fact television, people in droves are turning off the television, cancelling their cablevision and getting accurate information online...no longer are people relying on simplistic ad nauseum for information...Leave it to Beaver,  Gilligan's Island or Beverly Hillbillies era is over.....

Today people are smart, they get their information online, from the computer, websites like The Straight Goods..The Tyee...we get information from researchers, scientists, learned scholars, brilliant people telling the truth on matters without the spin and distortions..

You Justin Trudeau in Alberta stood up and lied to Canada, you lied to British Columbia, you told falsehoods, distortions, you used the word science, climate change, transition, carbon tax, emissions cap.....However, you never once used the word Social License..

Even worse...Mr. Trudeau...There was no science presented in your Calgary press conference....You talked about 1 million more barrels a day going to market as a way to transition to a cleaner future...You talked about world class oil spill response, yet we know, you know, the energy companies know and even the industry captured NEB knows that diluted bitumen spilled in moving water can't be cleaned up...

You Justin Trudeau exaggerated the job numbers related to Kinder Morgan by a country mile, Kinder Morgan's own filings to the NEB talk of 50 permanent jobs after construction..

Justin Trudeau, you lied at that Calgary Press conference, and lied badly, you said ...what country would leave a valuable resource in the ground ...

Justin, at that Calgary press conference you lied to world, lied to Paris, lied to your MPs, lied to everyone who voted for you....you made a mockery of science, you scoffed at common sense, you said to the world in not so many words that Canada doesn't care about climate change and Canada's words mean nothing..

However, the very worst of your sins at that Calgary press conference Justin Trudeau was...

You treated me, you treated Canadians from coast to coast like we are uneducated idiots, say anything, no logic, make up lies, tell us we are cleaning the air while promoting pollution,...told us we are transitioning to a cleaner world while commissioning pipelines with 70 year lifetime..

The NEB hearings were a predetermined fraud, speaker after speaker was denied the right to present evidence, well educated experts walked away as intervenors, ....Kinder Morgan didn't answer questions...The public was denied Democracy..

You Justin Trudeau wouldn't even entertain the thought of rerouting the pipeline away from BC's population centers...

That is very unfortunate Justin Trudeau.....and despite your claims of understanding British Columbia and having deep roots here...You haven't a clue about British Columbia, the protests will grow and grow and we will stop the pipeline and you and your team will be the only casualties as we strip power from you..

Justin Trudeau, your so-called "deep Roots" are that of an invasive weed.....An evasive weed on the verge of being eradicated..

Site C Dam, Let`s Flush $15 Billion Dollars Down The Toilet

Written by Grant G


In late December/2014....A couple of weeks after Christy Clark told Bloomberg in New York that British Columbia didn`t need Site C dam for the proposed LNG industry, Christy Clark also told Bloomberg the price of Site C was going up by potentially $billions of dollars, we are looking at $10 to $15 billion dollars to build Site C...Possibly $15 billion dollars for a very tiny bite of electric  power...Expensive power, power we don`t need for LNG...The one group that looked at Site C and BC Hydro`s power for the future projected growth model...They came to the conclusion the power was not required, the case not made..!

Meaning there is no need to spend $15 billion dollars we don`t have, no need to put BC Hydro over $20 billion dollars in debt($15 billion plus the $billions of debt hidden in BC Hydro`s deferral accounts),  BC Hydro would have as a crown corporation almost as much debt as British Columbia had when the BC Liberals came into power in 2001...Our provincial debt in 2001, including contractual debt, crown debt stood at that time about $28 billion dollars(now it`s almost $80 billion dollars, not counting contractual debt and crown corporation debt)...And these BC Liberals want to add $15 billion dollars in more debt for power we don`t need?..

 http://commonsensecanadian.ca/bc-hydro-inflates-demand-justify-site-c-dam/



Here are Christy Clark`s own words.


"LNG is our priority in British Columbia and we don’t need to do Site C in order to fuel up the LNG industry,” Clark said, adding she ran for office on a pledge to establish the sector."


 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-10/british-columbia-clark-optimistic-on-lng-despite-oil-rout.html


Christy Clark`s mouth says we don`t need to spend $billions of dollars that we don`t have on Site C for LNG..

And guess who else says we don`t need Site C...


____________


"The retired head of the Association of Major Power Users of BC, Dan Potts, estimates the proposed Site C Dam would lose $350 million a year for taxpayers and BC Hydro ratepayers. The 30-year pulp mill manager told media in Vancouver yesterday that the project, estimated to cost $8 Billion or more, is “fundamentally uneconomic” – based on its outmoded technology and power trading prices that are likely to remain far lower than the cost of electricity produced by Site C.


Potts made the comments at a press conference organized by the District of Hudson’s Hope – where the 80 km-long reservoir would be located – to raise concerns about Site C in advance of the federal cabinet’s ruling on the project, expected this Fall.


Potts and other speakers, including agrologists, farmers, First Nations leaders and elected officials from the region, called for the BC Utilities Commission’s oversight of the project to be restored. The independent energy watchdog was stripped by the BC Liberal Government of its usual role of reviewing a project based on issues like cost and need. In the absence of that review, Potts worries that a project which makes no economic sense may receive unjustified approval.
“This project is turning gold into lead,” said Potts.

It’s going to have a legacy of wealth destruction…It’s going to sap the province’s ability to raise money and borrow money, to do other things, such as infrastructure, hospitals, schools – all the things we need to do."

 http://commonsensecanadian.ca/VIDEO-detail/fundamentally-uneconomic-site-c-dam-lose-350-million-year-taxpayers-industrial-energy-expert/

_______________

So here we have experts, and he`s not alone, calling Site C a boondoggle in the making, a very expensive boondoggle, not only will it cost much more than $10 billion, interest payments on that debt will be $400 million per year....And it will lose on average another $350 million per year in direct losses...

All in, this project could end up costing BC taxpayers $30 billion dollars after interest payments and operating costs...for power we don`t need.

The BC NDP should refuse to even enter our provincial legislature until Site C is taken off next summer`s starting date agenda...You see readers, friends, British Columbians, there is time for a strong opposition to fight for British Columbia, that time is now, before the legislature opens...How many days do politicians need off, vacationing, sitting on their over-paid asses!

We must demand that Site C go to a non partisan regulator, or non-partisan committee...Like the BCUC...This project must be vetted by those who have no skin in the game, by those not wanting to win or steal an election..

There are power generating turbines being added to BC`s Mica dam...For a cost of $500 million dollars Mica Dam will produce extra power, the new power generated, on top of power Mica already produces......For $500 million dollars a couple of new added turbines will produce half the power of Site C Dam..Without flooding land, flooding farm land...Merely adding turbines to an existing dam will create half the power of Sire C dam...for a cost of $500 million dollars...

1/20th the cost of Site C dam ....Mica will produce half the power Site C would at 1/20th the cost..

Where is the media outrage?

Someone needs to haul the BC Liberals off to jail..Demand a Site C plebiscite, or referendum...

The biggest expenditure ever proposed in British Columbia with not one shred of evidence that this power is required..

It would be criminal to allow that big of an expenditure without the case being made that the power is needed..


If the NDP can`t persuade the powers at be, the courts, the new media, the internet media..If the NDP can`t fight then we the public must step up to the plate..


We need all hands on deck to stop this $15 billion dollar theft of public money.

We need to explore other options for power..Like this option.

Since we have, according to Christy Clark and Rich Coleman, "British Columbia has some of the largest known natural gas reserves in the world, more than enough for domestic use only, hundreds of years of supply", more than we can ever use domestically.


And as of right now, and probably forever, we don`t and won`t have an LNG export industry..

What British Columbia has is tonnes of natural gas and nowhere to sell it, how about we sell it to ourselves..?

British Columbia could create a market for domestic natural gas, no need to liquify if...And at the same time can create 800 to 1200 mega watts of power, or more,  as much power as Site C dam would produce.

We would not have to flood 30,000 acres of fertile northern farmland...Thus that land up north would not be flooded, the land would continue to grow food and be a carbon sinc, , meaning the non-flooded land would absorb greenhouse gases...Absorb enough greenhouse gas to offset the below proposal..

A proposal that would give B.C. options, options to turn up or down the electrical output depending on the needs, this electrical plant would only take up in total space..24 hectares of space/land required...

And here`s the most attractive part of the whole deal...For a cost of about $1.4 billion dollars we could produce as much power as Site C.

 We could save over $10 billion dollars before interest charges...BC Hydro`s ratepayers would not see their bills go through the roof...

We could build the world`s cleanest, newest, most modern most efficient natural gas electrical generating plant in the world...At the same time greenhouse gas emissions from the natural gas plant would be offset by not flooding 30,000 acres of farmland..no homeowners to piss off, to buy out..no First Nations to cut deals with, plus it gives our natural gas drillers a new market for some of their gas, that means some royalties for the province..And create B.C. jobs for B.C. workers.

And we will save not a few $hundred million dollars but over $10 billion dollars ...

And if someday in the future LNG exports produce bigtime revenues for the province we can shut down this plant, maybe nuclear fusion will come online, newer more efficient appliances, possibly domestic power generation that could feed into the grid, like solar, tidal, geo-thermal and who knows what other technological miracles are coming down the pike..

Pipe dreams, no....A win win win...BC Taxpayers win...Saving food growing farmland wins...A new market for our gas drillers, a win for them, a win for BC`s credit rating and a break-even win for the environment, what greenhouse gas emissions are expelled will be offset by not flooding 30,000 acres of farm land, maintaining the land as a carbon sinc.

BC Hydro won`t have to carry a $20 billion dollar debt, ratepayers won`t have to carry that debt on their bi-monthy electric bills..

British Columbia could save $billions and $billions of dollars by building a copy of this..

 "Shepard Energy Centre is a new, natural gas-fired power plant being built near Shepard Industrial Park in south-east Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The project, estimated to cost C$1.3bn, is being hailed as one of the largest projects ever undertaken by the city of Calgary.

The facility will have a nominal plant rating of 800MW and will be the largest natural gas-fired electricity generation facility in Alberta when commissioned in 2015.

It will generate enough electricity to meet the needs of more than half of Calgary's existing power demands.

The facility will use an advanced emissions technology and will generate less than half the CO2 per megawatt than a conventional coal-fired plant. The plant will be owned and operated by Enmax Shepard, a subsidiary of Enmax Energy."

Enmax Energy's Calgary plant features

Important features of the plant include natural gas compression, auxiliary boilers and a wet surface condenser and cooling tower. Heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) will be partially enclosed, while the steam turbine generator (STG) and gas turbine generators (GTGs) will be fully enclosed. The project also has provisions for future carbon dioxide capture.

________________

We have time, Site C dam construction is not slated to start until the summer of 2015..

Plus there are many lawsuits pending..

I personally asked John Horgan and the NDP party to pay for and commission a non-partisan study exploring the options I highlighted above, if the BC Liberals can prove we need much more power in the future and Site C is the only viable option, so be it, if the BC Liberals have complete faith and confidence they shouldn`t fear a non-partisan committee to review in depth Site C, the costs, the ramifications and other options.



 We may not even need the natural gas power plant, but if we need power, this is the route to go..

However, the time has come for the opposition NDP to step up to the plate, the BC Liberal`s clean energy act is gone, out the window, each proposed large LNG plant would add near 9 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions to our provincial airshed each year...This natural gas electrical plant would add about 1/10th of that total...BC`s clean energy act is null n void with an LNG industry..

Christy Clark and the BC Liberals have been talking the talk, Christy Clark was blathering in public how "BC`s LNG would clean China`s airshed and make the world`s air cleaner".. 



If that is true, if it is good enough for China than a natural gas electrical plant must be good enough for British Columbia too.

We as a province could even buy carbon offsets, $100 million dollars worth of carbon offsets per year and we would still be ahead of the Site C cost by $billions and $billions of dollars..We could buy offsets of that amount for 30 years and only spend $3 billion dollars... Add in the cost of a natural gas electrical plant of $1.3 billion to even as high as $2 billion dollars, add both amounts together ....$5 billion dollars...

And we wouldn`t necessarily have to buy carbon offsets if we didn`t need to....As stated above...We would not be flooding 30,000 acres of carbon absorbing farmland...

We can`t wait until the spring session of the legislature starts to begin this battle..

 Building a natural gas electrical plant(if we need the power) is a win win... 



BC jobs, BC workers..A electrical generating plant using B.C. natural gas, drilled by B.C. natural gas well drillers, piped through B.C. pipeline, power generated flowing to B.C. homes at a fraction of the cost of a Site C dam...Thus saving the province, saving B.C. Hydro $billions of dollars...Saving ratepayers even $billions more, money that will flow into our economy rather than to New York Bond Buying hedge funds..

A win win win...

We need the media to get onside with this plan...We need the BC NDP making wave after wave...Refusing to sit in our legislature until all these $billion dollar plus saving options are explored thoroughly by non-partisan entities with no skin in the game..

We need The Straight Goods....We need leadership, we need a robust opposition...

Who knows what energy efficiencies lie ahead in the future..A $1.3 to $2 billion dollar natural gas electrical generating plant can easily be decommissioned...A $15 billion dollar dam, not so much..

Food security....Saving ever declining farmland stocks...Not having to flood 30,000 acres...Not having to buy out home-owners, northern businesses, not having to fight First Nations in the Peace region..

The non-flooded land will grow food and absorb carbon...B.C. workers to build a natural gas power plant, giving our drillers another market for our excess gas..

Everybody wins, taxpayers, ratepayers, northern homesteaders, First Nations, the environment, our credit rating..

Everybody wins....

If an NDP opposition can`t make the case, can`t stop it, slow down Site C....Can`t present and produce viable options..

Can`t do a better job than a single blogger with no money, no staff, just a computer and a few connected brain cells..Then we as a province.....

 are doomed!

Christy Clark Promotes Trophy Hunting And Welcomes The World`s Big Game Assassins

I have no words to describe this outrage...

Trophy hunting..

Statistics reveal decade-long increase in B.C. hunting licences for grizzlies and black bears

by Travis Lupick on March 25th, 2015 at 11:34 AM

http://www.straight.com/news/416931/statistics-reveal-decade-long-increase-bc-hunting-licences-grizzlies-and-black-bears

Dressed in a black cowboy hat, B.C. Premier Christy Clark beams at the camera as she accepts the President's Award from the Guide Outfitters Association of B.C. The year is 2012, and the outfitters are gathered for their annual convention in Kelowna. Clark has just announced new regulatory changes to benefit the hunting guides to cheers and applause.

Like Canada's polar bears, B.C.'s grizzly bears have been listed as a "species of special concern" by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). Unlike their Arctic cousins, though, grizzly bears don't qualify for federally legislated conservation measures — despite the fact that B.C. grizzly numbers have dropped from an estimated 35,000 grizzlies in 1915 to possibly as low as six thousand today — and have become a coveted prize for trophy hunters.  
Polls show that a vast majority of British Columbians oppose the trophy killing of grizzly bears. A 2013 poll by McAllister Opinion Research showed 87 per cent of B.C. respondents favour banning trophy hunting for bears. 
The European Union embargoed the importation of B.C. grizzly bear parts and trophies into its 28 member countries because they believe it is not sustainably managed. 
The bear hunting moratorium by the NDP was immediately overturned by the B.C. Liberal government of Gordon Campbell, and over the past 14 years, the B.C. Liberal government has steadily maintained and increased the rights for outfitters.
These policies are even starting to drive a wedge within the hunting community. Should foreign hunters be given licenses to hunt B.C.'s bears? Should they be hunted at all? As policies expand, many have raised critical questions about the politics behind expanding access to bear hunting in the province. 

A strong voice for hunting in government

Key Liberal politicians in B.C. are champions of hunting, and by extension, the grizzly bear trophy hunt.

Petronas PNW LNG-- Petronas Is out of British Columbia -Petronas to Develop Iranian LNG

(Tens of thousands march in Malaysia demanding Najib Razak step down, the stench of corruption is wafting across the Pacific Ocean and is now permeating Rich Coleman's ministry)

Prince Rupert News in Brief: Nov. 23

November 23, 2016 · Updated 11:56 AM 

Minister Coleman details PNW timeline

Pacific NorthWest LNG’s investors are scheduled to complete their total review of the project and surrounding market conditions, and decide on the immediate fate of the project in summer 2017.

That was the message given to B.C. Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman approximately a month ago by [company primary stakeholder] Petronas executives in Malaysia.

After reports surfaced last week through Bloomberg that Coleman was given an April 2017 date on whether the company would proceed with the project or not, the Ministry of Natural Gas Development confirmed that a decision is expected by Petronas and its partners before the end of the summer.

“Minister Coleman met with Petronas executives about a month ago in Malaysia. The business development trip was an opportunity for the minister to meet with the recently appointed chairman of the board for both Progress Energy Canada Ltd. and Pacific NorthWest LNG Datuk Mohd Anuar Taib,” the ministry outlined in an email late last week.

“Petronas and their partners are in the process of reviewing the various elements of their proposal, along with the 190 conditions within the federal government’s environmental approval. The company indicated it would complete the review sometime next summer,” ministry representatives continued, adding that the Malaysian trip was not related to the 2017 opening of a B.C. trade office.

Why won't our mainstream media call Rich Coleman and the Clark government out on it....LNG spindoctors muse about the LNG glut ending in 2020...it isn't, these LNG terminals take on average 5 years to build...If Petronas started today they would complete in 2021..

But they ain't...Petronas is not building anything in British Columbia, Woodfibre LNG is in doubt too...either way, not a shovel in the ground before the next election.

Petronas has moved on to other countries to do business..Iran is the top of their list, also ..this

Malaysian energy giant Petronas said its first floating LNG producing unit, the PFLNG 1 reached its destination, the Kanowit gas field, offshore Sarawak. 

The unit, named PFLNG Satu, left the South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) shipyard in Okpo on May 14.

Following a 2,120 nautical miles journey, the PFLNG Satu reached its destination on May 30, Petronas said.

It will be the world’s first floating LNG producing facility once it starts production in Kanowit gas field, located 180 kilometres offshore Sarawak, Malaysia, during the year.

The 365-metre long structure will be able to produce 1.2 million tonnes of LNG per year and is designed for water depths between 70 metres to 200 metres deep with 145 crew onboard.

Floating LNG producing units will be game changers in the LNG industry as they pave the way to unlocking gas reserves from remote, marginal and stranded gas fields, which would otherwise be uneconomical to develop.

PUTRAJAYA: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) has been offered to explore 10 new blocks of oil and gas (O & G) fields in Indonesia, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He said the invitation involving seven exploration blocks in the Exclusive Economic Zone and three in Natuna Island was made by Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs, Luhut Binsar Panjaitan, in a meeting in Putrajaya on Tuesday.

Speaking in a press conference later, Ahmad Zahid said with the invitation, Petronas had the opportunity to participate in the open tender by Pertamina, Indonesia’s state-owned oil company, for the exploration of new blocks in other locations.

“This is a good offer as Petronas is basically focusing on exploration in the Asean countries,” he said.

The BC Liberal Government is blowing LNG fumes out their asses....

Thus the saturation bombing advertising blitz...bragging about nothing, bragging about the two LNG jobs they created...Gordon Wilson and Jas Johal...oh, that's right, Jas Johal bailed out on the BCLNGA communication(spin) job.....And is running for the BC Liberals...

Make that 1 LNG job created..

And yes, not even a one official murmur from Petronas on PNW LNG since August 28th/2016..

One more thing....

Najib Razak, the head of Petronas seems to be a bit preoccupied trying to save his political ass from jail and outright revolt!..
