NDP wants Suncor CEO to tell MPs why company moving away from focus on clean energy

OTTAWA — NDP MP Charlie Angus says the head of oilsands giant Suncor needs to explain to a House of Commons committee why he's moving his company's focus away from clean energy.

CEO Rich Kruger told investors on a conference call last month that the company was spending too much time transitioning to renewable fuels and needed to refocus on its core business of the oilsands.

A week later, during the Liberal cabinet retreat in Charlottetown, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said Kruger's comments underscored why regulation is needed to force oil and gas companies to reduce their emissions.

Angus says after a summer of record global temperatures and devastating wildfires it is clear that no company should be allowed to abandon their responsibility to help fight climate change.

He will seek agreement from other parties to summon Kruger to the natural resources committee when it meets later this month.

Liberal MP and committee member Julie Dabrusin says she needs to discuss the motion with her colleagues but does feel companies need to show how they will make climate change action a priority.

Matthew Lau: The NDP is always wrong: That’s almost impressive

Pierre Poilievre spent last weekend at the Conservative convention offering Canadians hope for a better and more affordable country after Justin Trudeau’s time as prime minister ends. Meanwhile, Trudeau’s Liberals are taking a well-deserved public opinion thrashing — the inevitable backlash against their failed policies and unwavering insistence that the miserable outcomes they have produced are in fact splendid results. The Liberal caucus is said to be frustrated , discouraged, angry and disillusioned.

The NDP, largely irrelevant, sits squarely on the sidelines, so its mood is harder to diagnose. For Canadians outside that party, however, here are two appropriate emotions: amusement that the NDP remains so low in the polls and bemusement that it seems so content to be so low.

These days, the federal NDP is most notable for how weak it is. That it has any real plan, any intellectual coherence, any economic sanity, any vision for improving the country, or that it deserves any electoral success, no serious person can believe. Its criticisms of the federal government’s failures are wholly ineffective: the government survives only because of the NDP’s support. Party leader Jagmeet Singh often blames inequality, unaffordability or other outcomes he laments on bad Liberal and Conservative policies. He is evidently oblivious to the fact that it his party, not the Conservatives, that is propping up the Liberal government.
The public is not fooled: as long as the NDP allows the Liberal agenda to continue it must share the blame. Whatever credibility the party had it surrendered by supporting the government, and whatever hope it has of restoring its credibility is frustrated by its leader’s singular inauthenticity. The term “champagne socialist” was coined to describe those who express political solidarity with the poor while themselves enjoying a luxurious lifestyle; Jagmeet Singh’s fondness for luxury watches and tailored suits has inspired the coining of the new term “Rolex socialist.”

More than any previous NDP leader, Singh has made a name for himself by denouncing the creation of prosperity. Whatever song is playing, he belts out a constant, off-key note: the rich, the rich are to blame. One does not actually have to be “rich” to be castigated by the NDP, however: that someone owns a business earning profits or a property generating income is sufficient evidence they are greedy and oppressive — though his attempts to paint property investors as the scourge of the earth are undermined by the fact his wife owns a rental property in British Columbia. There is, of course, nothing wrong with wearing fancy clothes or being a landlord. It is the hypocrisy that is off-putting.

On policy, the NDP has a long history of error. But its being so spectacularly and consistently wrong is a relatively new development. Singh’s immediate predecessor, Thomas Mulcair, got a few things right, including his opposition to raising top marginal income tax rates higher than 50 per cent . Even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist Congressional representative from New York, recently landed on the right side of an important issue by pushing back against the Food and Drug Administration’s over-regulation of sunscreens, which leave Americans with products that provide worse protection against sunburn and skin cancer than European sunscreens. But Jagmeet Singh has yet to be on the right side of a policy debate.

The NDP turds just don't get it, and never will. The harder they try to be "woke" the more racist, sexist and stupid they are.

[The Green Barbarian]

The NDP's insistence on supporting murderous Hamas, and sitting in bed with scum like CUPE, who hate Jewish people, is continuing to be a boat anchor on their decrepit turds of a party. As they go even more nuts and refuse to dissociate themselves from the Jewish-hating anti-semites that gravitate to their horrible party, they will continue to sink into oblivion.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Singh in a bind after NDP delegates draw red line on pharmacare

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is still standing, sort of. Singh got an 81 per cent endorsement from delegates to his party’s weekend convention in Ottawa, a worse result than expected. When he was first elected leader in 2018, Singh scored 91 per cent support; in 2021, that dropped to 87 per cent.

It’s not the trajectory he wants, and neither is that of his party: opinion polls by Abacus Data consistently show the NDP stuck in third place with about 19 per cent of the vote , basically the same total they had in 2015.

It’s no surprise, then, that members wanted to shake things up — but instead, they left a lot of Canadians shaking their heads. A pro-Palestinian demonstration Saturday resulted in the party suspending the passes of four delegates, with chaotic video footage of the row making the rounds of social media.

Delegates went on to debate an emergency resolution calling for Canada to condemn “Hamas terrorist attacks,” demand an end to Israel’s “total siege of Gaza which is prohibited under International Law” and mandate a ceasefire. But some delegates wanted the party to go further, with one telling CTV News, “The NDP must stand against the genocide of the Palestinian people, who have had a noose around their neck for decades.”
This kind of talk isn’t new for the NDP; back in 2010, then-MP Libby Davies qualified Israel’s statehood as “… the longest occupation in the world. People are suffering. I’ve been to the West Bank in Gaza twice so I’ve seen for myself what’s going on,” prompting calls for her resignation. Davies later apologized , saying that, “My reference to the year 1948 as the beginning of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory was a serious and completely inadvertent error.”

The party’s stance towards Israel reflects the greater issue plaguing the political left these days, namely, the divergence between traditional working-class concerns like wages and workers’ rights and the identity politics of so-called progressive activists.

The NDP has become an uneasy marriage between the two camps, prompting some of its supporters to seek a divorce. According to Abacus Data CEO David Coletto, the NDP are “losing about one in five of their past supporters, with more of that going to the Conservatives than the Liberals.” The right is seeing dividends from positioning itself as the champion of the working class — without the woke politics.

But that’s not the only identity crisis plaguing the NDP. Delegates evinced frustration over the party’s 17-month-old confidence and supply deal with the Liberals that is keeping the government in power. As one delegate put it to the National Post , “This isn’t politics. This is garbage. This is some kind of business agreement.”

This type of talk prompted NDP delegates to pass an emergency resolution that calls on the party to withdraw its support if the Liberals do not commit to “a universal, comprehensive and entirely public pharmacare program.” Should the Liberals not get a satisfactory bill through by the end of the year, the NDP would pull the plug and make pharmacare a ballot box issue.

But would it be? Most Canadians don’t agree with the NDP’s direction , and would rather the government help the small minority of Canadians without insurance or who can’t afford a prescription, rather than shell out for a universal program that will give rich people free drugs.

As the Liberals try to tighten their belt, they’re making noises that the cost of a single-payer pharmacare may be too rich for their blood, too, particularly now that the parliamentary budget officer put an $11 billion price tag on the program for its first year.

Justin took it pretty hard too in that video. Interesting take. Sell out Singh is going to have to do something soon or be dragged down with the sinking Titanic that is the Liberal party right now.

What I found hilarious in that video, among other things, was the messaging coming from Jelly-Spine Singh and the moronic NDP. Their message is this: "we are here to protect you from those nasty Conservatives". Man that made me laugh. Who then, is protecting us from Sell-out Singh and the horrible NDP? If I really thought that the NDP were about "protecting me", then they would be trying to get rid of the Carbon tax, not trying to increase it. Increasing taxes and therefore inflation is not protecting me, Jagmeet, you complete bonehead.

The NDP really is doomed. They only have a few truly brain-washed idiots left, who blather on about "the income divide" and "we have to fight the man-made climate change myth". These are the last defenders of this horrid party. If Tommy Douglas were alive today, he'd truly weep at just how garbage this party turned out, and how dumb their leadership truly is.

LILLEY: Sarah Jama booted from New Democratic Party

Sarah Jama is no longer a member of the NDP, party leader Marit Stiles issued a statement Monday morning explaining that she had kicked Jama out. The MPP for Hamilton Centre has been a lightning rod for controversy over anti-Semitic statements and actions since even before she was elected to Queen’s Park.

On Thanksgiving Monday, she took part in a rally called “All Out For Gaza” that used photos of the Hamas invasion in promotional materials, that featured a Hamas flag being flown along with anti-Semitic slogans being chanted. The following day, Jama issued a statement blaming Israel for the Hamas attacks that was denounced by Jewish groups across the province.

Stiles told Jama to apologize and retract the statement.

While there was a half-hearted apology, she never retracted the initial statement and instead pinned it to the top of her social media channels . She later filed a lawsuit against Premier Doug Ford over his denunciation of Jama’s comments but didn’t inform Stiles ahead of time.

In her statement ejecting Jama from the NDP caucus, Stiles said that there is room for different points of view but that there must be trust. She noted that she had worked to keep Jama in the NDP caucus under a good faith agreement that included “no surprises.”

“Since then, she has undertaken a number of unilateral actions that have undermined our collective work and broken the trust of her colleagues,” Stiles said.

Stiles added that the NDP would still vote against the motion being debated in the legislature to censure Jama for her remarks but then would part ways.

NDP leader wants meeting with Trudeau to discuss calls for Israel-Hamas ceasefire

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is calling for an urgent meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to discuss prospects for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

"I am asking for an urgent meeting between us to discuss how we can work together to end the bloodshed with a ceasefire, get Canadians out of the region, ensure the safe return of all hostages, and insist that international law be respected," Singh said in a letter to the PM.

The letter condemns the Hamas attacks on thousands of Israeli civilians. Singh's letter states the party is also alarmed by the suffering of Palestinians "on a scale we have never seen before as a result of the siege of Gaza."

A spokesperson from the Prime Minister's Office didn't say if Singh would be granted a meeting.

"We're ensuring all parties have access to all the necessary information," the spokesperson said in a statement.

Singh's letter follows one from more than 30 MPs — including Liberal caucus members — who are calling on the prime minister to advocate for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

"Canada has long been a voice for peace. The longer this conflict goes on, the more innocent civilians will pay with their lives. We demand that Canada join the growing international call for an immediate ceasefire. Canada must act before more innocent children are killed," said the letter, signed by 33 MPs.

Some of the MPs who signed the letter said supporting a ceasefire is compatible with supporting Israel's right to defend itself.

Singh's letter on Monday cited the letter from the MPs.

"They (Canadian MPs) add their voice to that of the NDP, which has been calling for a ceasefire and the release of the hostages for over a week now," Singh said.

Israeli aircraft struck southern Lebanon overnight and Israeli troops fought Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, residents said.

Bombardments continue in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Israel has amassed tanks and troops near Gaza's border for a planned ground invasion.

Israeli officials have said Hamas's Oct. 7 rampage in southern Israel killed 1,400 people, including several Canadians; roughly 212 people were taken into Gaza as hostages. Health authorities in Gaza said at least 5,087 people have been killed and over 15,200 injured in Israel's two-week bombardment, which began after the attack.
