Hello fellow sufferers. I hope you’ve all had a lovely holiday season.

I just wanted to see if anyone else is noticing the number of elbows-up Canadians trying to explain why it’s so horrible that Trump snatched Maduro because Venezuelan oil coming back online will screw western Canada. As though they care.

I mean, we’ve existed with Venezuelan oil in the past. My cousin (petroleum engineer) used to work there, met his wife there. They are in Houston now but pre Chavez AB and Venezuela were both doing well.

They’ve been able to avoid properly developing Canadian oil and diversifying markets plus green bullshit because of a lack of competition. It’s not that we can’t compete, but rather that Canada (at the federal level) refuses to do anything to be competitive.

Anyways, the idea that it’s better to have a commie dictator in place to keep oil prices up is certainly a take.

Ironically, resource extraction has a higher representation of indigenous workers than most industries in Canada. 11% of the mining sector's labour force is indigenous, for example. This idea that indigenous peoples are against resource development, like most things, is a farce perpetrated by the federal government in collaboration with corrupt indigenous leaders to prevent a national genesis. Most indigenous people that I've met in my lifetime supported continued development of pipelines and other resource extraction related projects.

Not entirely sure how it works up there, but is that primarily due to location (Only the natives live in the middle of nowhere) or job guarantees to get the site through permitting (aka, the tribe tells the company "We'll let this go through if you hire X of us")?

All I ever see is native claims about unceeded land and bitching that the bag is a bit light during the required consulting
 
Carney is absolutely ecstatic Trump nabbed Maduro. Now he can further fear monger about Trump to drum up support and distract from his complete inaction with year one coming up on his term.

Because these RINO chucklefucks realize what happens should (read: when) the US gets Venezuelan oil pumping. Any sort of leverage we had is gone, any sort of influence is through the floor: we say we'll cut off our pipeline supply to mid-west refineries? America turns around and says with the oil tanker fee they'll save cash on every transaction, The churroing of Maduro is the sort of move which ensures they can buy us on cheap and flaunt it beside our face.

My personal expectation is we're heading for a 2026 election and Carney gambling it all on boomers because the moment the US secures Venezuelan oil is the moment his budgetary balance (read: oil-influenced smoke and mirrors) flies right out the window. Few r/Canada and associated Reddit faggots realize the economy of this country isn't based on virtue signalling as much as immediate monetary gain: our Laurentian elite will give in, much like Third World Dictators, the moment they're given a monetary out to the problem of ruling.

Expect a lot of fun in 2026; we're gearing up for a very entertaining time.

If only. This won't lead to a mass-exit, it'll lead to a mass illegal overstay problem, which will further aggravate the housing crisis, healthcare crisis, and unemployment crisis. Most temporary residents that lose their legal status will remain illegally, especially when there's only 13k employees (which is being cut to 10k within 3 years) responsible for immigration. In fact, there's only 550 employees directly responsible for deportation investigation and enforcement. So that would be about 1818 criminals for each deportation investigator ( 1 mil/550=1818 ). Although some local police forces also have access to the deportation warrant list, it's quite easy to bribe ones way out of a situation in cities with massive immigrant populations.

In the past 10 years, there's been over 750k roaches have been approved for permanent residency. In 2023 alone, the government approved 139k roaches for PR (that's only about 40k less people than the entire population of PEI for reference). The temporary residents are one problem, but the permanent residents are another. In a perfect world, there would be a mass investigation into the legitimacy of approved PR and citizenships in the past decade, an a mass revocation too, but that's a bit too Hitlerian for the Canadian government to accomplish.

Edit: In addition to what I wrote above, we've also to remember that the federal government has also admitted to losing track of many immigrants. Statistics Canada missed up to 38% of non-citizens in the last census. The government doesn't like to admit this, but in truth they've no idea about the actual number of temporary residents inside the country, only rough estimates. If the government doesn't know you're in the country, how can they force you to leave?

This is entirely correct, and not limited to Canada. The US is, right now, the only country enforcing visas and overstayers. Every single person whose entry permit expires in Canada, Britain, Australia, etc, will not leave if they don't want to. No one is checking residences to ensure people are no longer living in the country. No one is organizing deportations. There is no database comparing the names of exits against expired visas. Only a small percentage of employers check immigration/work status.

If your visa expires and you run into trouble that may lead to deportation (eg: you rape someone) the courts will actively work towards sentences that skirt under the level that requires deportation. If you are on track to deportation, you can just turn around and claim refugee status and then you get 3-5 years of education/accommodation/expenses paid for by the tax payer while the courts determine if you're a legitimate refugee. If you're a Sikh, fantastic likelihood due to the Khalistan conflict (don't ask questions about importing millions of Hindus and Sikhs together though). If you're Hindu, just claim you're gay or trans or whatever.

Even at the end, if you are deported because you just couldn't help your sexual emergency urges, that's probably a decade of living in the West at the tax payer's dime due to the TFWP and refugee payments.

All of this to say: it's odd that in a country so reliant on natural resource extraction and production, that the majority of people seem completely ignorant to this fact.

It's worth noting that while Canada hosts the headquarters, the historical infrastructure and capital especially in oil was largely foreign. It was the US that took the initiative to establish our extraction industries and build the pipelines to transfer resources back to them.

I say this with respect for the US. In fact, their dominance was so pronounced that the government felt forced to launch the National Energy Program (NEP) in 1980. This was essentially a 'socialist' intervention designed to force Canadianization and subsidize domestic ownership because we couldn't compete naturally. It is fascinating that we needed such aggressive state intervention to gain a foothold, yet often act like the US isn't responsible for generating that wealth to begin with.

Oh yeah does anyone care about Trudeau anymore? Looks like he's fully out of politics and dependant on a sugar mommas to survive

He's still got tons of money, the Trudeau Foundation took in a large amount of suspicious donations while he was PM and made some very well timed investments during COVID. However, he is hard out of the political game. He bought a place in Ottawa hoping to still be involved and no one takes or returns his calls. He has completely become a non-person in Canadian politics and even Canadian high society at large. It's kind of shocking, usually former PMs hang around for decades as at least an elder stateman of the party.

Being barefoot in a park is better than on a bus being put on places people grab.

It's good that he's gone
It's bad that it was done in the way it did

It's better that it was done this way so (at least as of now) Venezuela hasn't become another forever war, which is what a lot of people were thinking would happen if trump decided to go in instead of just taking potshots at drug boats

Considering trump doesn't like the person who actually won Venezuela's elections i dont think its safe to start saying conflict is over.
