oil puppet do you want a pipe line or not?

I have started some mighty big fires with just a single match.

Coderre is an arrogant and ignorant fellow.

This is a great way to re-ignite separatist sentiment but this time it might be the west.

If I was Wall I would whisper western separation.

We are stronger without the eastern leeches.

It would be great if they could bypass quebec go around thru the states back into NB. Maybe if trump gets elected this could pass.

Coderre had the quote of the week though on Brian Jean of the Wildrose:

"First of all, you have to allow me a moment to laugh at a guy like Brian Jean, when he says he relies on science. These are the same guys who think the Flintstones is a documentary, but that's another story"

According to Gasbuddy, gas in Motreal is 97.3 today. Regina Superstore is 70.4. There's is too darn cheap. Let em pay twice that. Maybe then they'll get the message.

Grassfarmer, the flintstone line was first used by Warren Kinsella 15 years ago in relation to Stockwell Day's creationist beliefs and Denis Coderre used it last in relation to the conservatives objections to the raw sewage dump. Why is it the Liberals continue to use the same line, and wouldn't intelligent debate be more productive?

Bucket this whole routine is all about western seperation. These reform oil puppets made an entire nation dependant on oil being high. Because oil has to be high nothing else will ever develop it s just too expensive to. Now that we re going broke because of that total dependance on oil wall and the puppets are blaming everyone else and threatening and building an east west split

I don't think the puppet wants to be prime minister of canada he wants to be the reform prime minister of saskberta

Riders in 2014 energy was 10% of our national GDP, I believe this includes oil and gas production and nuclear power generation. This is 1% lower than when Harper first took power. So your assertion that Harper focused on oil doesn't stand up. Did he promote our oil industry, absolutely. Actually government services and spending increased as a percentage during his tenur oil did not. The left has sold us a large pile of BS and you obviously believed it!

Good article, it states percent of GDP in 2013 was 7.5%, I took my number right off of Gov of Canada website. Most interesting stat I took from the article was the oil and gas industry payed 23 billion in tax, all consumers including farmers payed 21.5 billion in tax. Plain and simple oil is a big contributer to our governments income.
