Hey, elbows-up crowd... how are those elbows doing? Because while you were all racing to see who could get theirs up the fastest and highest, Mark Carney was promising "Canada Strong," "Buy Canadian," especially Canadian steel, and that we were going to be our own best customer. Well, the... big $33-billion LNG Canada expansion he announced is moving ahead... and major modules are going to be fabricated in China. China. Apparently "elbows up" only applied when the foreign country was America. We tried to warn you. But you were so busy waving flags and kicking American booze out of your carts that you voted for the guy who told you exactly what you needed to hear to vote for him. So I have one question: How many times does what Carney promises you, have to collide with what Carney actually does before you stop rewarding the Liberal Party for telling you one thing and delivering another? #WhatTheWorldWants #CarneyLied #ElbowsUpshow more

Green steel sounds like “Green Ham” . No one wants to buy it. Love the tabby cat chilling! 😼

Lol, that's Karen. She showed up at 1 am in minus 40 weather about 3 years ago. There is a reason why her name is Karen. The fox that is living on my property also knows there is a reason😂 which is why its terrified of her.

Only five yards worldwide have the space and quality systems needed for this work. But of course you knew that, right?

I did. I even said so in my clip. Don't know what your point is.🤷🏼‍♀️

So it's "I know this capacity doesn't exist, but I'll just blame him anyway". Pathetic. The NEP would have created demand to build this infrastructure decades ago. But to own the libs the cons decided to discount it and be dependent on the US refineries instead.

Here... let me educate you before your village starts passing around lost idiot posters. Yeah, there are only a handful of facilities capable of building modules on this scale. But do you know where one of the places capable of building massive LNG modules happens to be? TEXAS! So maybe if Carney had actually delivered on his promise to negotiate a new economic and security deal with Trump, instead of Canada and the U.S. ending up deeper in a trade war, sourcing something like this from our closest neighbour might have been a hell of a lot more commercially attractive. Instead, the talks blew up late on August 21, the first day of advance voting in a series of federal by-elections, including one in Quebec. Carney emerged the next morning warning about the protection of the French language and our culture. People were literally posting videos as though Trump wanted to stop Quebecers from speaking French. Turns out the actual dispute was considerably less cinematic and involved things like rules around French-language content online and product labels on goods. La belle province... meet la belle coincidence. I'm not saying Texas automatically would have gotten the contract. I'm saying maybe spending months screaming 'ELBOWS UP' while our relationship with the largest economy on earth goes sideways has consequences. Meanwhile, Canadians have been beaten over the head with Canada Strong... Buy Canadian... Protect Canadian workers... Build big things here... and my personal favourite, Be our own best customer. Apparently we’re our own best customer until we actually need to buy something big. And China isn’t exactly a stranger to this project. Phase 1 also used fabricated steel modules from China, and Ottawa granted relief from anti-dumping and countervailing duties on those imported components. Canadian steel interests objected vociferously at that time. Now Phase 2 comes along and we’re going back to China again. And lets be clear about what fabricated in China actually means. It isn't just buying a hunk of steel from China and handing it to Canadian workers to turn into something here. A major part of the manufacturing and fabrication happens there. The cutting, welding, fitting, assembly and the supply-chain work feeding that fabrication support jobs there. The completed modules are then shipped across the Pacific to Kitimat, where Canadians do the leftover work required once they arrive. If that fabrication were happening here, the economic benefit wouldn't begin when the finished modules showed up at the jobsite. Canadian mills and suppliers could be filling orders. Canadian fabrication shops could be employing welders, fitters and tradespeople. Canadian manufacturers could be making components. Canadian trucking and logistics companies could be moving them. Those workers spend their paycheques in Canadian communities. That's the economic chain we keep hearing politicians talk about when they explain why Canadian manufacturing matters. Instead a substantial chunk of that economic chain happens overseas and Canada gets what’s left when the modules arrive. Oh, and PetroChina owns 15% of LNG Canada so the mystery is solved on where pressure to buy in China likely came from. After all the Canada Strong, Buy Canadian, protect Canadian steelworkers and be our own best customer speeches, an actual multibillion-dollar project comes along and a major chunk of the fabrication work and the jobs attached to it sail right across the Pacific. Apparently Canada Strong comes with a fairly generous China exemption. 💪 Elbows still up? Perfect. Wouldn’t want China thinking all that theatre was for nothing.

Fact check: 70% of the fabrication is Candian. The rest are components that ARE SPECIALIZED AND NOT MADE HERE. This falsified narrative is exactly why I left the Conservative party. They started this BS factoid. Find truthful reasons to criticize. Stop with the garbage.

Elbows up was a marketing campaign. It worked, 77% of people are still avoiding US products nineteen months later. The problem is the back end. A campaign that moves customers and a supply chain that can't deliver is how most businesses blow up to

@Cdhd123 Omg Melanie Please post more ♥️♥️♥️😉

LNG Canada is a private company, they can buy their steel from their preferred suppliers. Would you prefer the GoC to tell them how to run their business and who to source materials from?

Carney is allowing China to dump steel into Canada and kill thousands of Canadian workers' jobs!

🎯 🙌 ❤️ you !!

100%, the Carney con rolls on

Elbows up makes it easier to pick your pocket

And what happens if Canada does not have the capacity to manufacture the steel modules needed for the job? Should they not do the job? Focus your con attention on potash because clearly you know nothing about steel. Just another example of prairie folk that never leave the farm!

@Cdhd123 Promises, buried under Liberal hypocrisy..

Carney globalists are diametrically opposed to America's policies of economic nationalism Carney is Brussel's "man on scene" (in the European Commissions's Ottawa office) Carney's globalist vision for Canada leads to a dark place Markets are pricing French sovereign bonds as junk Quoting @MichaelAArouet Most people don’t yet grasp what is happening in France. Markets are pricing French sovereign debt as junk, rating agencies will eventually have to follow. This will have two major impacts: 1. Most French banks are already rated at or just below the sovereign, so a move toward junk would likely drag domestically focused lenders with it. Credit to households and firms would slow sharply, hurting the economy and widening the fiscal deficit even further, a vicious cycle. 2. For the ECB, the constraint is legal as well as financial. A fall below investment grade would force sales by ratings-bound investors while making any backstop harder to justify under current rules. The next euro crisis will begin in France. The first, which began in Greece, will feel like a walk in the park compared with what comes next.

Huge for Canada. A outstanding way to diversify away from the US. Exactly what I voted for. Go Canada!

You're actually as stupid as you look... Taking it you can't read. Bet you home-schooled your kids to 'carry on the tradition...' What an idiot for even posting this. Stay in Saskatchewan. They deserve you.

You look like her 'welfare' sister!!!! I had to follow you to see what stupid shit you say!! Congrats!!!!

Here’s what actually going on:

@TonyChapman Tony- I’m surprised someone of your intelligence would repost this. You’re ok with not stocking US booze but repost someone from Saskatchewan aghast that we’ve not sourcing the prefab modules from the US a day after the southern leader praised China and insulted Canada yet again

Im sure they are fine. We get the need to stay relevant and have click-worthy content, but this is just silly. We dont make those components. Not many countries do. Its not the first time we've used foreign steel. The US uses foreign steel. Germany, etc. You're going to have to keep digging.

Some will never wake up.

You should've been on "Mrs Browns Boys"... you'd fit right in.

Keep driving your school bus for minimum wage and shut the fuck up Gertrude

You perhaps should have mentioned that no other good leader prospect existed at election time, ioo, albeit we boomers were and are a large cohort of voters. Sometimes due to outside circumstances (like two wars) and for speed, we adjust our methods to achieve what is needed.

Please don't get me wrong... I am quite aware of the dynamics within the boomer generation. My dad is from the silent generation, my mother a baby boomer. I am genx with kids ranging from millennial to Gen Alpha. I was married to a boomer as well but he passed away late summer last year. I was born to a GM family in Oshawa. I say all this because I don't have a single boomer in my life who would vote for this. All data points to female voters 65+ as the core base of Carney Liberal voters and they reside in the wealthier areas of GTHA, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver. I don't need to explain ridings to underscore how the majority of seats in government are Ontario (122) and Quebec (78) for a total of 200 of the 343 seats in Parliament. So until that particular subsect of boomers are no longer voting, the generations that come after them don't stand a chance. At some point, people need to stop voting for looks and charm and vote for actual solutions. Clearly Pierre knew whathe was talking about. At least Carney thought so as evidenced by how much of Pierre'spolicy ideas and platform he took. Carney was elected using a lot of Pierre's ideas. It seems fraudulent to me. It's like Canada voted for a Temu Pierre simply because he said catalyse a sufficient amount of times to sound smart. One last thing about Pierre... I spend a lot of time researching and I'm astounded that, believe it or not, Pierre is an honest politician. If people spent 5 minutes everyday just fact checking one meme or disparaging accusation post they'd be stunned. Tell me, option a or b. Who would you choose? One is Pierre, the other is Mark and actual verifiable facts of each.

Hope you don't mind, I borrowed 1 of your posts in an e-mail I sent to all Liberal MP's-here's the link to the details

Ignorance is Bliss …🙄

CHINESE STEEL IS WHY AMERICA DOESN'T WANT A DEAL WITH US ??? TIME TO GET RID OF COMMUNIST CARNEY AND HIS CHINESE SCAMMERS TOO

💯💯💯

@DavidPo14444222 The elbows up are brainwashed.

Bonneville granny

Hey ignorant one...perhaps this will EXPLAIN it for you. Since you can't educate yourself.

@liz78562 Canada is a Reality Game Show with elite talent!

While were on the topic, the US has tariffed steel. Perhaps if they hadn't, the company would have bought from them, but wake up toots, the US is not trustworthy. Not a bit. WTFU

I didn’t realize mark carney removed who shell bought steel from. Not that I’m a fan of his, but seriously, what does who a private company buys materials from have to do with him? Are you advocating state owned industry? That would be the only way he controls it.

“We have what the world wants but we can’t build what the world wants we have to source it from CHINA” …this nails it brilliant. I wish the liberals could reflect on this and realize they are being lied to
