The Liberal government announced a $1.6 billion loan offering to help Canada’s struggling energy industry, but is it a solution for a different problem?

The only items that will help the oil patch is pipelines

In only we had an improved Pipe Line! Instead, JustinTrudeau has racked up debt on a grand scale, but hey we have a good credit rating!

Why not use Federal authority granted by the Constitution and build pipelines, so that unsafe rail transport can be reduced, and so that Canada can obtain world market prices for the oil ?

Canada needs pipelines. It’s that simple. Between Indians, liberals and Quebec that’s not going to happen. Solution, stop paying taxes to Ottawa, equalization payments to Quebec and stop funding Indians, it’s time they joined the real world.

No, they can get loans from a bank and this does not buy rail cars to haul oil nor build pipelines...it’s idiotic but will likely fool most of the media and some Canadians...

No.

A political tactic, and a fairly transparent one. Trudeau will proceed into the election claiming he 'responded to Albertans need' while he ignores/denies the fact that his government caused this crisis and the loss of 10's of thousands of jobs through ideology and incompetence.

A cheap bribe by an incompetent government.

It’s a loan...Why would a company borrow money if they can’t pay it back. Hey liberal_party put this money and energy towards getting the pipeline built that you messed up in the first place and ditch the tanker ban, and bill c69. Easier and cheaper for everyone.

Useless and NO

Who NOT to Vote For

'What is Ottawa's Energy Loan Program' - A cheap attempt to bribe the energy sector to abandon carbon energy. '...and will it actually help Canada's battered oilpatch? - No

I don't think it will, but liberals have legalized pot, so who cares..right!

NO!
