  1. I wasn't being sarcastic lol. I basically forgot the Maritimes existed. But it all comes together now. The author of the piece is pretending Quebec doesn't support Saudi Arabia because they wait for the Saudi oil to be turned into gasoline before they burn it. What a huckster.
  2. Oic, not Quebec but the Maritimes. I get it. Maritimes are forced to use Saudi oil because Quebec wont let ours pass through.
  3. As good little law abiding rule followers, we don't do what it takes to get a judge to rule in our favor. If they aren't activists already, judges would rather redefine the word consultation than deal with lefty push back. We lose every time.
  4. It's amazing the disinformation that we are fed. I've seen this "we dont import from Saudi" in a few different places yesterday. Who is feeding us this BS.
  5. Actually I know we have the one. Is there any others still alive. I just heard there are still a few proposals that haven't been shelved. I wonder if they are serious ones. When Exxon pulls out, it looks like we're done.
  6. Another 25 billion dollar LNG project goes down. Exxon pulls out of Prince Rupert. At one time there were 20 proposals. Is there anymore left.
  7. OPEC and Russia scatter a few dollars around, some could have landed on Trump, and that's enough to take out the most weak willed (minded?) of the competition.
  8. Curbing the oil sand production is a symbolic gesture from a GHG perspective. I'm not into willingly sacrificing our economy for symbolism. But i have to hand it to @kingofsurrey and his OPEC bosses, they are masters of the game.
  9. So the inevitable has happened. Several groups have filed lawsuits against our lifeline, Enbridge Line 3 which is supposed to save the day this winter. Once this is shut down by an activist judge, the heat will really be turned up on JT and Rachel. http://www.ksla.com/2018/12/20/foes-enbridge-line-pipeline-file-appeals-minnesota/
  10. I don't think we need a wall or anything. Now that Trump has catch and return in place instead of catch and release, and maybe even more wall, I think the flow of illegals will dwindle. If illegals need to rely on air traffic to enter Canada, we can probably keep it under control quite easily. Thanks to both you and @Warhippy for bringing me more up to speed.
  11. Not really. It's my understanding JT signed some UN open border thing that the US and others refuse to buy in on and is causing some unrest in Europe (one of the new yellow vest issues). If that's not true, feel free to inform.
  12. Here's another option. We can very easily protect our borders from any influx of migrants as long as we take back control which Trudeau has only recently given up. We will bring in as many immigrants as is a benefit to Canada, that is all. That is the stance of the conservative population afaiac.
  13. When are you going to swallow your pride, admit you've grown up, and now are forced to identify as a conservative.
  14. Once Alberta takes over your coastline it's gonna shut down all fishing and give all those fish killers gum boots so they can contribute to society in the oil fields where they belong instead of destroying our precious coast.
  15. True. Newfies would be a lot more needy without their offshore resource. I guess they aren't limited by pipelines though.
  16. Actually even I support this super pipe when its in the ocean, or in our case, under lakes or rivers (surely it is used there?)
  17. Yes. And this report doesn't even touch the massive contributions that occur because of the Saskatchewan and BC energy industry.
  18. I'm not aware of the lesser quality of pipe issue you raise here, but will accept it as fact. I would also accept that it may be a politically necessary move. My view is that it's a waste of money. Pipeline spill incidents are minor environmental inconveniences except in the hyperbolic world of American philanthropists and Canadian oil. Cue the outrage. I do view myself as an environmentalist, so I don't wholly agree with Carlin below, but everyone should watch this.
  19. This is a good article with accurate info afaik. The article shows how the wealth and high wages of the Alberta portion of the energy industry are shared greatly with fellow Canadians, to the tune of $22 billion a year. The author thinks this is fair. My frustration is that this number could be $66 billion if so many weren't convinced pipelines are bad because "there's nothing in it for me". Thanks for posting this. It really sums up everything I've wanted to say about the issue.
  20. Oil consumption is skyrocketing. To be a top player you need to grow. Big players left Canada because they wouldn't be allowed to do so. We are going down. That's the point. If KM, Line 3, and Keystone were all completed now as they should have been, we would be exporting nearly 2 million more barrels a day now. Superpower. Venezuela, Mexico, Russia and OPEC would have needed to do the adjusting.
  21. We abdicated our super power status to appease pipeline protesters. Our currency may not even be a petro currency anymore (it still is imo). As per my original statement.
  22. You'll become rich very fast at the prices we see right now. Unbelievable.
  23. Can Canada remain an 'energy superpower'? https://www.conferenceboard.ca/press/speech_oped/17-09-08/Can_Canada_remain_an_energy_superpower.aspx You wont find too much talk about lumber and copper. Give it up.
  24. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The economy of Canada is a highly developed mixed economy with 10th largest GDP by nominal and 16th largest GDP by PPP in the world. As with other developed nations, the country's economy is dominated by the service industry, which employs about three quarters of Canadians.[21] Canada has the fourth highest total estimated value of natural resources, valued at US$33.2 trillion in 2016.[22] It has the world's third largest proven petroleum reserves and is the fourth largest exporter of petroleum. It is also the fourth largest exporter of natural gas. Canada is considered an "energy superpower" due to its abundant natural resources and small population.[23][24][25][26]
  25. Our dollar went up and down in sync with the oil price for many years. You wont win this one.
