There is no shortage of announcements made by this Liberal government.

Some even sound similar to Conservative platform promises—until it comes to implementation, policy, game plans and action.

Following Iran’s seizure of the Strait of Hormuz, Canada pledged 23.6 million barrels of oil as part of the International Energy Agency’s emergency 400-million-barrel release. Two Conservative MPs asked a simple question: What policies did the government actually put in place to make that promise a reality?

The Minister’s response revealed that no new policies, regulations, or legislation were implemented to fulfill Canada’s commitment. As the National Post observed, “Canada’s oil output is decided by private-sector producers—companies that raise or lower their production based on a range of factors like commodity prices, pipeline availability and maintenance schedules.” In other words, the Liberal government announced a production target without introducing any mechanism to achieve it, relying instead on private producers to hopefully fulfill the pledge they had made.

A 56-year-old Steinbach woman died outside Whiteshell Provincial Park on July 5, when she lost control of her motorcycle at approximately 5:30 p.m.

She was identified as Shauna Harms-Wiebe.

Falcon Beach RCMP said they along with fire services and EMS crews responded to a report that a group of motorcyclists were travelling east on Highway 44 when one rider lost control of her vehicle, landing in the south ditch near Provincial Road 312.

Harms-Wiebe was transported to Lake of the Woods District Hospital by EMS but succumbed to her injuries shortly thereafter.
