Serious investment as in billions after spending billions already at the Intl level feeding the coffers of WEF corporate elite invested in climate change. cdnpoli
These clowns are incompetent, really just look at them, just full of their own lack of importance and ignorance. They couldn’t do anything else with their lives so they are modern day thieves stealing money. Thank god for Freedom of Speech. Incompetent Corrupt RCMP.
Oh god, we need a political colonic.
SpendSpendSpend until there's noting left
You mean inject more money into the system to dilute the dollar even more . They are trying to tank the economy on purpose. They should be investigated.
More money being stolen by the government. That’s what they meant.
'Clean Tech' is Liberal speak for phony corporations paid out of Lost Economic Devel Corps Funds to line pockets of Laurentian Elite Cronies!
Define Clean Tech? Wind/Solar/Lithium Batteries? All laughable & proven worse to produce than they ever save in lifetime. Then left w/nothing but pollutants that aren't even recyclable? Awesome! SNReactors not even being discussed or replacing coal use w/clean LNG advancements?
2 billion to fake company! How does that help?
I wonder if any reporter will ever look at how unenvironmentally friendly green tech is. Most of it can't be recycled and once it breaks you have to discard the whole thing
I love how leftists think it makes them sound like business people when they call wasting tax dollars an 'investment'.
🤡
STOP IT! cafreeland & JustinTrudeau YOU CAN'T SPEND YOUR WAY OUT OF INFLATION.
Going nuclear?
Please stop saying 'Canada' when it is the government. For example 'Canada' did not force first nations into residential schools, the government did.
To some company that doesn’t exist
If clean tech is code for EV then it’s a poor investment.
So not dealing with Canadians getting further behind every month - got it.
Incitement, today's word Just Saying
…. In other words “.. we’ll continue to be sanctimonious & screw all of you because our champagne socialist agenda is more important than all you little people ..”
Yeah big priority right now for Canadians TrudeauCorruption
The Liberal budget, brought to you by what remains of the middle class!!! ffs
How can anybody tolerate these clowns any longer is beyond me
What a joke
Just wondering why Freeland is using a “single use” coffee cup and lid? Is saving the planet NOT your gig
Stop spending OUR money!!!!
If it's not nuclear power then it's a waste of time
*sigh*
Oh good, more 'investments' lol. Remember when Infrastructure was going to drive our economy?. What happened to that idea?
Stop wasting our money!
LPC kicking into the 'Look busy an election is coming!' Mode
Canada has no business making investments into things our infantile govt. has no idea about. Rather create an environment where privat industry wants to invest into ideas, they know best as they know the risks. You are just playing with our money for votes without any risk to you
We call them trees
How much do good middle class jobs pay?
How much will bobblehead Freeland and Trudeau make of this investment!
Clean tech? What does that even mean?
Is that a plastic lid on that non-dairy latte 🤡🤡🤡🤡
is that a plastic lid?
Clean energy means more mining.
Game set and match.
Can we check 1st if any or all of those companies exist? You know, due diligence and investigative journalism, or do we just take her word for it?
Translation more wasting of tax dollars on a scam
Start by cleaning the house of commies.
No such thing.
Clean technology? You mean, can't afford heat, can't afford to drive, can't afford to live, can't afford to work ... now that's clean.
Does that point towards higher carbon taxes? My spidey senses tell me yes! Canada
A bidet is clean tech. Beyond that I don’t know what cafreeland speaks of.
Of FFS. We'll never financially recover. When will the government figure out if anything is viable, investors beat down the door. Great ideas NEVER need government money.
Every time I see her mug, I think communist!
Their friends. Our money.
Other words…. Our friends need government contracts. If green energy is so good, why does government need to invest in it when private capital is available? Before the flames start, I own an EV that I drive daily…. I like the way it handles, and the vehicle sold itself.
Maybe they should look into how the stock market responded to esg last year
Dead end we need $ for a military and healthcare
Is clean tech a euphemism for Freeland's douche?
**** ***, serious investment, I'm sure the rich will keep getting richer, an the poor will keep on getting poorer , I guess we will have to cut Netflix now to make ends meet.
Again. It’s the taxpayers making “investments” because no corporations want to touch this country. It’s a toxic mess of government incompetence and taxation.
🤪😱🙄🤣🤣🤣..still 7% inflation!!!!!!!!!!!!
more money down the climate black hole
Stop making 'investments' ! You don't know what you're doing! Remember Medicago ?
Governments no longer piss your tax dollars away.... They 'invest' them instead
Another Government “investment” with my money. If any of these expenditures were “investments”, when can I expect my taxes to go down, as the returns roll in? Oh right, because Government “investments” NEVER result in returns.
We are completely fucked.
Ah the new scandals will dig their graves deeper! When will Canada say enough?
When the government decides what businesses sink or swim, the taxpayer loses
We have no serious money left. Maybe Katherine can find her missing billions. TrudeauChineseElect
Look how that worked out for the liberals in Ontario 🤡🇨🇦🖕🏻
What is “clean tech”?
And the wholesale theft from Canadian taxpayers continues greenscam wealthtransfer Traitors
With whos MONEY waste!!!!
What are the odds a good portion of that “clean tech” money will be wasted?
OK. How about building LNG export capacity? That’s not clean! Wrong. It’s clean if Canada ships it to a country where they stop burning coal and replace it with the cleanest fossil fuel out there supplied by the country with highest production standards in the world.
Investing your money in unproven and already failing enterprises....
PRESSURE COOKER IS ABOUT TO BLOW...... And that budget will fall to s***
While I applaud the investment in alternative energies, I will never ever forgive Trudeau and the Liberals the covid mandate!
FFS. Another budget from a party that thinks budgets balance themselves. We're so screwed.
Independent inquiry into Chinese election meddling now.
Trudeau has described Johnston as a “family friend” & as a friend of Trudeau’s father. Johnston is involved with the PET Foundation, as a “member” who advises and helps select the board of directors. The Chinese government tried to use it to influence JT. Turdeau
Clean technology = vacuuming ALL of Canadians monies...fullstop
Have to check the Woke boxes. Doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense or how much it costs.
Let’s not waste any money on this unproven crap. Better for the treasonous WEF to get out of politics
Let us start by 'Clean Ethos'
She doesn’t know her ass from a hole in the ground
$535 Million - Solyndra. FAILED! $1.2 BILLION - SunPower. FAILED! $3B - First Solar. FAILED! $43M - Beacon Power. FAILED! $126.2M - ECOtality. FAILED! $1.6B - Abound Solar. FAILED! $1.6B - Brightsource. FAILED! $33M - Raser Technologies. FAILED! $2.1B - Solar Trust. FAILED! Next?
Please stop building windmills where there's no wind.
How many billions to companies that don't even exist this time? How about accounting for the missing billions before we go any further?
Tech doesn't change tires on a car or build houses 🤷🏻
Hold on to your wallets, here we go again.
The train wreck and destruction continue, unchallenged and unchecked.
Incompetence
Climate lunatics🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
I wonder which family member is getting this grant🤣🤣🤡 printing money off the backs of the working class... Shameful
They are going to bankrupt this country.
Government should not be investing in anything. Because they suffer no consequences for poor decisions or outright corruption.
OH good more taxes
Is it for companies already formed or like the 2 million for a company that doesn’tbexist? BTW, where are thise 2 mill?
Is that a plastic lid on that cup?
Eco zealots will bankrupt this country
Oh yes. Tax is at the pumps and anywhere else to invest in your agenda.
By Canada she means us. We invested in a lot of her garbage for the last 8 years and are broke. They made Canada a banana Republic in 8 years.
So…more of our money propping up fake Liberal climate companies.
Is the investment going to WE Green Tech and CCP Solar?
Money Laundering
Hang on to your wallets!
How about balancing a budget 1st then spend! WTF! 8 years and NOT ONE balanced budget! TrudeauCorruption TrudeauForTreason TrudeauBrokeCanadaWithSinghsHelp NonConfidence TrudeauChineseElect
So, nuclear?
What, they are currently losing our collective shirts on TMX, maybe they should let business do business and get our public finances back on track. The climate issue is not Canada's hill to die on.
So a waste of tax payers money to Libs buddies, got it.
Here comes a boondoggle!!
I would not let her do a budget for a Tom Thumb hockey team!
If Freeland is so concerned why is she using a disposable cup with a plastic lid and using hair dye must be because she is a hypocrite.
Spend spend spend. Inflation inflation inflation tax tax tax
Should be helping the majority of seniors that the liberals purposely ignored!!!! 65-74 yr olds!!!!!!!! Why do the liberals keep saying “ we helped seniors” It’s a lie and Canadians believed that
This news source is government propaganda paid for by the taxpayers of Canada.
Clean tech=money laundering!
If you sunk Canada into the ocean with our 1.6% of the world emissions it wouldn't make a difference...The problem isn't in Canada.
Scam Climate Communism
Same sort of ‘serious Investment’ in clean tech that sunk the SVB?
Translation: “government is going to steal more of your money”.
There's nothing they can't bugger up
Complete waste of money - if clean tech is sustainable they don’t need tax dollars.
Ridiculous! Focus on the source of pollution you criminal! Trudeau MUST GO!
Translation, serious investments in Ontario and Quebec, CDN’s all pay taxes but the vast majority of green infrastructure will be built in those two provinces. Some things never change
Oh yes sounds a lot like fiscal restraint to me.
Translation wasted money. Germany, India and China are building coal plants like crazy. Nonsensical
“Canada to make ‘serious investment’ and clean tech that will further bankrupt Canadians”
Billions in corporate welfare and looting directed at swing ridings and Liberal insiders. There is no investment, just corruption.
We’ve already been left behind by not managing the resources we have in a proper way to get them to market. Billions and billions sitting there. Where is the money for this ‘serious investment’ going to come from Better not be the taxpayers or printing more
By “Clean Tech” cafreeland means 100.000 slaves (mostly forced child labour) and unprecedented level of environmental destruction in Africa Asia and South America
So more handouts to Liberals
Meanwhile First Nations is still drinking mercury laced water. Since the 1970s.
Corruption to cronies. Fascism 101.
Means they will 'waste' money on pretend 'green tech'.
Yapping about ' green new deal ' while holding a Styrofoam cup and plastic lid..all MADE IN CHINA !!! Once you figure out which way the jet stream goes you will notice China is west of us...just who you cleaning the air for ?
Awesome...more multi-billion dollar corporate welfare gifts 🤑🤑🤑💰💰💰
Other words piss more of our money down the drain
Russia and China make up over half the planet and you want us to clean up the air so they can breath it, while they pollute the air that comes our way on the jet stream ? Who ya working for Miss Bobble head ?
Just burn those debt dollars why don’t you. 🙄🤡💩
Nuts
Government involvement in industry always ends well.
Similar to green energy Ontario liberal plan that ousted the entire party come election -major failure taxpayers in Ontario are still paying for via liberals McGuilty/Wynne/Butts/Smitherman, etc.
What happened to fiscal restraint?
Investment? Bet the ROI is such that a private sector business would bankrupt.
I don't know how much more tax I can give to these green technologies.
Making a serious investment in the 100's of billions being wasted on that environmentally friendly war in Ukraine are you Freeland ? What a joke !
Looks like she needs a reusable coffee cup.
IMO, if singh sides with trudeau and block the chief of staff from testifying, they are both aromatically GUILTY of Treason and should be removed from office and put up on charges. Canadians need to stand up and fight this This is 1000 times bigger than the Freedom Truckers
