I think I am getting what you mean though, you want to punish the cities that oppose oil and gas, yet at the same time depend on the industry somewhat? Not punish them. Just help them to stay on the side they’ve chosen. Take away some of the hypocrisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not blaming anyone. Just commented on what has actually happened SINCE the election in October. Perhaps the mass exodus in the last 6 weeks is just a coincidence. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofsurrey Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Its starting................... shorter flights first but here we go............... https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/harbour-air-boss-to-test-pilot-worlds-first-electric-commercial-aircraft Harbour Air boss to test-pilot world's first electric commercial aircraft "When this thing flies it will be the first time on earth that this happens," said Roei Ganzarski, head of electric-engine maker magniX. D Updated: December 4, 2019 Greg McDougall, founder and CEO of Harbour Air, will be the test pilot for a 750-horse-power, electric powered float plane set to launch Dec. 11. “When this thing flies it will be the first time on earth that this happens,” said Roei Ganzarski, head of magniX, the company that built and helped install the electric motor. “How could you not get excited about that?” Harbour Air and Washington state-based magniX began work on the ePlane project at the start of this year. The goal was to fit one of Harbour Air’s DHC-2 de Havilland Beaver float planes with an electric motor that could be used on one of the airline’s shorter flights. Harbour Air is among the largest all-seaplane operators in the world, flying to 12 destinations. The company’s goal is to convert the entire fleet to electric-only. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the exodus started just around mid 2013 actually by the numbers. It has continued all the way through this month.

Halliburton encana Houston Oil & Gas junior oil and gas huge reduction of Husky Those are the major players that have left in the last 6 weeks. As for your 2013 comment, I can’t find much about that but I see that in 2017 there was also a mass exodus from the tarsands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when they have alternative transport options. We can all debate whether AB & Sask can or will pull the pin on Canada but the other major split is urban versus rural. No transit out here in the boonies. Matter of fact if I don't have my 4 wheel drive I'm not going very far come snow fly. Resource harvesting no matter what the product takes lots of energy. We are paying a carbon tax on most facets of life to a much higher $ amount than our urban compatriots. Much of this is non-discretionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty normal for business to be leaving an industry that is seem as dying and has no future. Are you surprised..... ? As an investor in any of these companies.... of course i would want the company to investing in oil sources with a lower cost and lower negative environmental impact.... than Alberta oil...
