Mr. Speaker, Claims · 17 words today we learned that the Liberals have decided to speed up pipeline construction by cutting red tape: 1 Positioning · 83 words too many rules, too much hemming and hawing, too much focus on reducing greenhouse gases and social acceptance. Canada has oil, 2 so we are going to make a fortune, and to heck with the regulations. The Conservatives are losing the battle for the hearts of oil lovers. Soon enough, the Liberals will be the ones wearing “I love oil and gas” pins. If there is a single Liberal left who believes in the environment, what on earth are they doing in this party?
