Once again Google is my friend. How many are employed by the oil and gas industry in the United States? A - 1390000 How many are employed by the solar industry in the United States? A - 374000 Questions I put here are verbatim with what I entered in my Google search- Yes, solar is a growth industry and is still getting funded more than adequately by the Department of Energy under Trump. Oil and gas is still a major industry despite what the climate change fanatics go on about. Better for the Americans to be developing their oil and gas deposits and be less reliant on the terrorists in the Middle East. Here is a comparison for you - the U.S. is taking advantage of the large demand for oil and gas for its deposits employing millions and also pouring money into renewable options as well as carbon capture meanwhile Canada is forcing a carbon tax which is only filling up government coffers and not doing anything to reduce emissions while our oil and gas workers are unemployed by the thousands. Trudeau has put some money into carbon capture but not anywhere close on a per capita allocation that the U.S. has under Trump. The reason that oil and gas workers are unemployed is the Us is only paying them about 60% what they pay for their own oil, so there is a need for a pipeline to the coast to other markets. The PC's couldn't get it done but Trudeau is getting it built.

Bill Hemmer will replace Shepard Smith, great hire, impossible to pinpoint any bias left or right just the way it should be when it comes to daytime news and not opinion. I’m sure Murdock will turn him into another blowhard that only has a nose for Trump’s huge butt. They have no interest in news, just Trump propaganda. Hemmer has been on Fox News for years, Billy and he has been a straight news guy with no obvious bias unlike the loser he is replacing.

The PC's couldn't get it done but Trudeau is getting it built. Trudeau won’t get it done because every time some environmental group files a lawsuit against the pipeline his government doesn’t fight it. Trudeau gave Encana billions of dollars so they could get out of Canada and they took that money to Texas where they could invest and are building a pipeline. There were two major bills enacted into law by the Liberals which will make it almost impossible for the Trans Mountain pipeline to be built because of all the overregulation in those bills.

This impeachment is like if you tried to convict a person of murder based upon the testimony of a person who talked to a person who talked to a psychic, meanwhile the murder victim keeps on yelling from the back of the courtroom that they aren’t dead!
Well today the Dems acted despite the transcript clearly showing nothing and the Ukrainian President saying on multiple occasions that there was no quid pro quo or extortion demanded , no bribery etc. The other article of impeachment talks about obstruction of Congress, well the Constitution gives the President executive privilege.
It doesn’t matter whether what you think of Trump, the facts are on his side, the Dems are impeaching him because they already know they can’t beat him in 2020; they actually had a decent shot at it but this farce is going to cost them dearly.
Pelosi was obviously already into the vodka early today thinking that approving USMCA and taking credit for a deal Trump worked on would fly. Only certain people would justify that she could take credit for a deal she had delayed for almost a year while it sat on her desk.

Only certain people would justify that she could take credit for a deal she had delayed for almost a year while it sat on her desk. HORRIBLE judge of reality. The whole defense is that Mulvaney, Giuliani, Sondland (primarily) ALL MISUNDERSTOOD Trump. Trump never wanted anything. It's unlike him to expect help in investigations, right? (despite him saying it on camera multiple times). The lack of a meeting and the aid being held up was all coincidence! The Republicans offered NO DEFENSE using facts or witnesses. Jim Jordan said they were just following up with "checking out the new guy" and then they gave the OK. But Mulvaney floated the idea that they were waiting for other countries to pay more. WHICH IS IT? And what do you have proof of? This is like if all evidence pointed to OJ Simpson, and his only defense is "I didn't do it" and he was acquitted because they didn't have an eye witness. Trump's only saving grace is that the GOP have completely sold out to him, for reasons I am sure we will find out down the road. Countless media members asked GOP reps if they feel it is OK for a POTUS to ask other countries to investigate their rivals (which he clearly has done 3 times), and as far as I know, everyone avoided answering. It's because it is NOT right. That is the main fact here.

I find a lot of his policies outside of the weed thing, which lets face it was 99% driven by a personal agenda led by his mom, are not left leaning. It's not hardcore right, either, I agree. But I find he tends to slant to the right a bit as he'd rather get labeled a red conservative then do anything that the ridiculously left learning NDP would really back. So what we get policy wise is a bit of fluff, a pipeline purchase, but otherwise really staying out of the sticky items like health care transfers that risk giving him a socialist label if he gives in too much. How these next 2 years unfold, and I think that's all this minority charade lasts, will really tell the tale of what he wants his legacy to be. And maybe at that point he's come back to the center or even to the left if he requires the support to make this last but I predict he still tries to go center-right and use the Bloc as his temporary ally to get him though and once the Conservatives have either a new leader, a newly built up war chest, or both we're right back to where we were 3 months ago. And if anyone can convince Scheer to walk in a certain parade or simply give a solid backing to womens rights as laid out in the Charter of Rights he'd be looking at a majority with Quebec as the only major holdout. But if he stands firm on those items he risks his party facing the same fate as in the 90's when Preston Manning broke free and did what Bernier tried to do only on a larger scale and with a bit more success with the Reform party. The risk to the Conservatives has never been bigger in my eyes. With the mess the NDP is they can't afford another fuck up or it could be a Trudeau decade in the 20's. Which wouldn't be good for anyone in my opinion. Fair enough, the pipeline purchase is one example I guess but the bills he has brought forth having gender requirements and strict climate policies are going to make it almost impossible to build anything in this country. It would be responsible for Scheer to attend a pride parade. I’ve seen two in my lifetime, the one here this past summer and the 2013 Manhattan parade. There was a huge difference between the two, all I will say is that the Halifax parade was classy and inclusive, the one I witnessed in New York would fit the stereotype that I imagine Scheer has and doesn’t want to associate himself with. I’ve given up on Canada as far as the current political situation is at the federal level. 30 years ago when I was getting ready to graduate from high school I saw a Canada run by the triangle of Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, this past election made me realize nothing has changed. Imagine the U.S. if it was dominated politically completely by California, New York and Washington , the electoral college and an elected , equal Senate prevents that. I juts want to point out that, over the last little while, I've watched you rip on Canada, and praise the US. Not just in this thread, but in other threads as well. So my question for you is why are you still here? You obviously have a hate on for Canada, and a love the USA. No one is stopping you from leaving and becoming a US citizen. Probably no one will beg you to stay......and you probably won't be missed that much, by most. So, what the fuck are you waiting for? Go! Your constant resorting to name-calling when you haven't got an answer should get you in good with Trump and his cronies.....they like that sort of thing.

History made. The next month will be a shit show too.
Republicans had no defense. If they had people or documents that could have cleared Trump, they would have marched them out there on day 1. Instead they had their stories, where everyone was supposed to believe Trump was a corruption killer, and everyone under him were mistaken about his intent - Despite Giuliani constantly saying exactly what he was up to.

Exactly, GOP has no facts on their side, all they can do is complain about conspiracy theories from Faux News.

Do you guys really believe the Senate is going to Impeach Trump? It's extremely unlikely. In fact, odds makers are putting him at close to 5/3 odds to win the 2020 election. Him getting through this impeachment trial will solidify his re-election.
I'm not a Trump supporter or anything but it's funny watching the left celebrate prematurely when the odds of him getting impeached by the Senate are like 100/1.

Yeah people don't get that this isn't a legal trial. It's a political one. So there's is no "reasonable doubt" it's partisan politics that is at play. This is a giant waste of resources by the Dems that should be used to vet and prop up their absolute best candidate for November. But instead they'll feast on each other after this blows up and be shocked when he wins again.

In abit of a bombshell it looks like they are going to hold onto the articles instead of sending them right over to the senate to get the immediate acquittal. I hadn't seen a single person mention this as a possibility but it is very interesting. Obviously what Trump wants is a quick acquittal that he can share with his base a huge victory. He now has an impeachment status held in limbo over his head that may never get resolved. There is no timetable in which they have to send the articles over..It may just drive him over the edge. They can also use this as a means of getting Moscow Mitch to pass the hundreds of bills he's been holding onto in the senate or try to cut a deal to get some of the witnesses that Trump is preventing to testify. This is a move that could go down in history...fascinating time for political science teachers either way.

Nope, everyone knew that was likely where it ends. But to just ALLOW his behavior to keep going and not stand up and make a statement was not helping anyone. The Republicans didn't want to have to defend Trump like they did. That will forever go on their record moving forward. If I were on the Democratic side, I would have fully supported a move this big to essentially say "this can't be the new normal". And who knows what happens now. The Senate "trial" may get interesting if Mitch+Co keep saying they will rubber stamp an acquittal. There are rumours that more damaging material will be coming. And of course the biggest wildcard - TRUMP and Giuliani - could still end up doing something ridiculously dumb in the next few weeks. Stay tuned! lol

They knew the Senate would not impeach him, but you can’t just let him blatantly abuse the power of his office and do nothing. The point of the hearings was to force the GOP to chose party or country. Their votes and choices will stick with them. What McConnell did by saying that his position was Trump’s and that they would not call witnesses in the senate just bury the impeachment is very unpopular, even Republican voters were 64% against it. The laws are fucked up in the US and Trump having his own lawyer in Barr as attorney General has turned their justice system into a sham.
