looks like the fix was always in from the get-go on the frontier tech oil sands mine project the
00:00:12.080
globe and mail reporting that for months now liberal cabinet ministers and mps have been
00:00:18.480
working behind the scenes against this thing wow wow wow and if we weren't dealing with coronavirus
00:00:25.360
and other big issues right now this would be the damning story right now of canadian politics
00:00:31.040
that the prime minister and other officials saying oh we're not sure what we're going to do
00:00:34.640
with this looking at the evidence meanwhile people within the party within cabinet people directly
00:00:41.680
connected to the prime minister working to undermine this thing from the get-go i wonder who they could
00:00:48.080
be what's named names catherine mckenna stephen guibbeau well i doubt those individuals were
00:00:53.440
giving two thumbs up to this project you know after we learned that that the trans canada pipeline
00:00:58.720
was not going ahead when we learned that we weren't getting a whole bunch of projects people said
00:01:03.120
frontier that's the project if trudeau can show he can do this and get this forward well there you go
00:01:08.320
there's still hope and that is of course not going forward is there hope warren buffett seems to say no
00:01:14.560
he's pulled away from a quebec lng project warren buffett is a value investor he's the the king of
00:01:20.240
value investing what value investing is is you're not just following markets up and down and what's
00:01:25.280
trendy and what's maybe going to have some cool new release that sees the stock you know go up by 30
00:01:30.480
on any given day take your money and run no he goes and looks at the underlying fundamentals of a
00:01:35.120
business of a sector of a particular company and says is there value in this why warren buffett says i
00:01:41.200
only invest in things i know i invest in staples of our life like toothpaste and so forth he has said there
00:01:47.040
is not value in the canadian resources sector he hasn't said that directly but that is basically
00:01:52.720
the implication of him withdrawing from this because this is a person who does not make hasty
00:01:58.720
moves and it seems like withdrawing after the liberal government or members in it actively working
00:02:05.840
to undermine the project incredibly frustrating to see all of that and and it really shows how things
00:02:11.840
have changed liberal ministers so he said justin trudeau jerry butts katherine mckenna they're
00:02:17.920
climate alarmists fine but there's still a good old guard there jean chretchen era paul martin era the
00:02:22.880
spirit still lives within them that you know they would always say well we're socially liberal but fiscally
00:02:28.080
conservative and they were business-minded and they cared about development and growing the economy
00:02:33.040
not anymore it's pretty clear that large swaths of the liberal party have been taken over with people of
00:02:38.720
a pretty far left agenda i would say very in tie with the ndp or in some cases even further left than
00:02:46.320
the ndp it's very disingenuous then for the prime minister and for deputy prime minister christy
00:02:51.280
freeland to meet with alberta say well we're here with you we feel your pain and so forth no it's
00:02:56.320
become increasingly clear that when justin trudeau said i want to phase out the oil sands that was
00:03:01.760
not a gaffe that was not a misspeak a passing fancy that was really the plan all along
