Prime Minister Carney launches new Major Projects Office to fast-track nation-building projects​


In a rapidly shifting global landscape, we need to act decisively to build a stronger, more competitive, and prosperous economy. To those ends, the government tabled the Building Canada Act, which Parliament passed this June. This legislation enables the government to streamline federal approval processes to get major projects built faster. These projects – including ports, railways, energy corridors, critical mineral developments, and clean energy initiatives – will better connect our economy, diversify our industries, access new markets, and create high-paying careers, while protecting Canada’s rigorous environmental standards and upholding the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, launched the new Major Projects Office (MPO). The MPO is headquartered in Calgary and will have offices in other major Canadian cities. Its mandate is to serve as a single point of contact to get nation-building projects built faster. It will do so in two principal ways. First, by streamlining and accelerating regulatory approval processes. Second, by helping to structure and co-ordinate financing of these projects as needed.

The MPO will help to identify projects that are in Canada’s national interest and will help fast-track their development. The MPO will accelerate projects by creating ......

Danielle Smith is ‘The Book Thief’.

When government decides ‘you’ are not capable of making decisions, ‘you’ are NOT enough smart to take the right message from literature!

In a democracy we elect leaders NOT Parents!

This is oppression! What’s next? Book burnings in the town square?

Wake up call Alberta… what rights will they go after next?

Recent Book Removal Policy; What Is Actually Going On in Alberta?

Danielle Smith’s government is dressing censorship up as “protecting children,” but the truth is this: Alberta is seeing government overreach that targets marginalized groups, silences free expression, and undermines our multicultural democracy.

Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides admitted in emails that he met with lobby groups like Parents for Choice in Education (PCE) and “other concerned parents,” while refusing to clarify meetings with Action4Canada—an extremist Christian nationalist group that has led campaigns across Canada to strip schools and public libraries of 2SLGBTQ+ and sex education materials. Both PCE and Action4Canada are well-funded organizations with deep ties to Alberta’s conservative movement. PCE’s executive director was a founding member of the Wildrose Party, and Danielle Smith herself appeared at their education forum during her 2022 leadership campaign. This isn’t about grassroots parents voicing concern. It’s about entrenched political networks dictating what children can read.

The government’s list of “sexually explicit” books—heavily borrowed from Action4Canada’s own 36-page blacklist—targets works like ....

Some common sense, even if less than common among politicians, can straddle an international border or two.

"I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion." Thomas Jefferson

Ostensible book banners are champions of ignorance. They masquerade their position as opposing the reading of the book/s they endeavor to ban. BUT !
On what basis?
Have they read each book they wish to ban? If so, how do they explain their own survival of the ostensible dangerous literary adversity?

The danger they perceive is so perilous the People benefit from having the decision made for them?
If the book banner read the book & survived, is their position not nonsensical?
If the book banner did not read the book, on what basis to ban in ignorance?
Neither of these conditions makes sense.
