@tabmcleo Hard to call in a serious way. He's clearly having a deep passionate love affair with Germany (and UK and France) but he's also been looking at energy markets in Japan and South Korea in order to justify his - otherwise - pipeline to nowhere.

@tabmcleo I'm rooting for Hanwa, if only to get them out of my YouTube ads.

@TrueNorthSpice Or worse, get brainwashed. When all you do is talk to industry lobbyists all days it's easy to swallow their garbage.

@r.gilmore US oil company executives don't agree with you. They're profiting just fine off this pipeline, thank you.

@TrueNorthSpice No, it was fair though. I've been finding the people of Canada to be far more 'elbows up' than our elected representatives. Those people only ever worry about economics.

@TrueNorthSpice There's a long list that includes various premieres, a certain opposition party member and the PM! I was sticking just to the guy who could decided whether or not US bourbon was allowed on Ontario shelves.
@Amgine Excellent catch. That once got past me. True, he did not say 'legally purchased in Ontario' but implied possession was illegal.
Such a clown.

@penpencilbrush But he's white. He was probably fleeing Dutch woke persecution, like those poor refugees from South America.
Recent converts are always the worst.

@TrueNorthSpice The opinions of Canada being very different from those of Doug Ford, of course.

@drdrowland Let's talk after the midterms, I suppose. At this point I'm still not even 100% convinced the midterms will even happen, let alone next presidential election.
Yeah, yeah, and I want a pony.
"Next year, hopefully we can all take a toast of American bourbon legally in the province of Ontario," Hoekstra said. "And toast the friendship and the relationship between the United States and Canada."
How would this happen? Is Trump dying? Is he leaving?

CBCAmbassador Hoekstra wants American booze back on Canadian shelves next year | CBC NewsU.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra's speech at a Fourth of July party in Ottawa included a political nudge aimed at Canada, with American F-35 fighter jets flying over the crowd and a comment about some provinces' bans on American booze.@kevinrns @AvonVilla Think of what could be accomplished if you eliminated private profit motives! Their situation now makes a good story but is only possible due to public regulation and features some capitalist knife twists.
Australia's situation would be true-to-story if energy was public-owned.
