Highest paid doctors, nurses and teachers how is BC doin?

Yes, of course Alberta has high paying jobs...

 

But you must acknowledge that the Alberta Conservative Party squandered  a fortune in legacy funds that should have set up future generation of Albertans.

The massive oil profits were wasted with very little to show and it is such a shame for the future generations of citizens in the province.

 

If only the money would have been properly invested..........   30 years with basically no gain is  just unbelievable poor management by Alberta conservatives...

 

NO wonder the province finally woke up and voted NDP for better financial management....

First nice quote on the largest tanker oil spill in history of North America. Which happen 28 years ago. Where the captain was drunk. Because standard and safety hasn't improved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

technological advancements in  navigational aid's have never been better, programmable GPS interphased with auto pilot ,but thats as far standard and safety go, through out history the one constant thing that's happened is NAUTICAL DISASTERS. during the endbridge town hall meetings one of the endbridge spokes person said 1 marine incedent every 10,000 years , picture that if you will , heres a guy from alberta trying to convince north coast residents of that ridiculous figure.maybe he wasn't ready to be laughed at by a large room full of people ,but that's what happened. and now KM has come out with their ridiculous figure of 1 every 473 years WOW ! THERE IS NO ELECTRONIC  GADGET THATS GOING TO OVER RIDE  HUMAN ERROR , WHEN A SHIP STRICKS THE  BOTTOM!  . so the annual amount of ships traversing thru the gulf islands(NARROW) and juan de fuca strait goes from 70 per annum to 440, can you say congested!  i'll never downplay the potentials and no  oil isn't a nuke  but then again theres no such thing as an indestructible ship and no one from alberta is going to convince me that there is , or make me beleave the stupid incident figures    i live on the north coast and cant remember all of the marine incidents   (a lot) and there not going to stop happening because alberta suddenly needs an ocean!   heres some recent pics the, mv north star IS state of the art! the other 2 pics speak for themselves.

Huge cargo ship drifting off Haida Gwaii out of danger

A disabled cargo ship that was drifting off the west coast of Haida Gwaii no longer needs to be rescued.

A spokesperson from the US Coast Guard has confirmed to CBC that the MV North Star has managed to restart its engines after fixing an electrical issue. 

The North Star lost power yesterday morning and was drifting 50 nautical miles off the coast. It was sailing from Anchorage, Alaska to Tacoma, Washington.

A tug boat out of Prince Rupert and a Canadian Coast Guard vessel had been en route to assist the large ship, which has 27 crew members aboard

Alberta can never be Norway because Norway was smart enough not to dip into its prosperity fund too early. 

A prosperity fund that would have never been as lucrative as norway especially since the goverment of norway owns most of stat

As well as a population the size of bc and saskatchewan with only a third of the land mass of bc.which has coastline like bc if not more treacherous.

isn't it mostly offshore drilling as well in Norway? AB keeps 1/2 the royalty money so there was a lot to play with there, its hard to fathom how they managed to waste so much of it. I guess when you think the tap is never going to be turned off its easy to spend eh? :lol:

 

its an interesting compatible tho, roughly similar population (AB ~4 mil, Norway ~5) but its undeniable that the PCs did not do a great job managing that money. Forsberg being his usual callow self would defend it to the end I'm sure tho.

Let's dig shellfish while the Norwegians eat our lunch along with the US and Aussies. Our tankers will have tug escorts.

 

There are 36 ships waiting for grain outside of Vancouver harbour today. Are they banging around like pin balls? Twenty four LNG plants lost because ship sunk somewhere once.

 

This is why we are not Norway.

what does any of that have to do with Petronas puling out? oh and btw LNG Canada is still in the process of making its decision (http://www.cftktv.com/News/story.aspx?ID=2190421) AND we have an NDP gov't thats actually still in favour of it. 

 

At least be angry about something real, you're just making stuff up.

Yes, because we had an idiot named Stelmach who wanted to tax like an NDPer to "GET OUR FAIR SHARE"!  Investment left and has never quite come back. Then wimpy Steve chased out Chinese investment.....insanity.

 

Canada doesn't have oil....it makes oil.  Ingenious manufacturing which is the envy of the world

Im sure norway has lower social costs as well as being close to other coubtries that require its products its also a global company.its also encouraged to make money by its citizens not denied and harassed by other countries minus russia.

Exactly.  There should be 5 million barrels flowing out of the north coast to China now and we'd all be rich. Harper wanted pipelines and re election.  That couldn't happen with all the foreign interference.
