A story I didn't expect to see.
Quote:
On Thursday, Canada's building trades unions, along with the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, held a forum in Ottawa focusing on the looming skilled worker shortage in Canada with the hope that policymakers would attend and then act to ramp up apprenticeships for skilled trades as well as increase immigration of accredited skilled workers.
"Conservative MPs showed up, Liberal MPs were there, but not even one NDP MP showed up," said Smillie, who speaks for 450,000 construction union members all across Canada - 40 per cent of whom are actively engaged in the oil and gas industry.

So why didn't any NDP MPs show up? Because their political masters these days are extreme left-wing zealots, all of whom subscribe to environmental extremism and the destruction of Canada's oil industry.
This is why I hope the Liberal do come back, after a long hard cold stay in the hinterlands, as a strong opposition. We need do need a sober, thoughtful alternative(as in not the arrogant, divisive, knee-jerk anti-american, lack of morals thing we put up with since 1970).
