Big oil rips off Canada. Is Canada a third world country?

Nothing against oil what so ever other than it has to pay its own way. Others not in the industry shouldn't be asked to make up the added costs. Health care roads etc. It was out of balance here obviously as we re paying for it all now.

And you cannot have a premier owned by oil or unions or whatever. It seems as though the only way oil boys will play is if they control all he marbles. Well they need to just play as it is.
We offer safe work environment, subsidized labour, etc etc. Doesn't seem to be counted for some reason.

But all the auto manufacturers etc are predicting such a drastic switch to electric and to me won't be possible but are we there yet is there more developed than we can see? Why aren't we building hydro power then? Wouldn't that be the thing to do future wise?

Hamloc you answered your own questions, high wages in oil field led to everyone thinking they are worth the same, thereby pushing the cost of everything else up, good for those making big money but bad for those that aren't at the trough. Big money being hid under the guise of farming, I have to compete with those that would just as soon loose money on the farm, inflating the cost of land, now the money stream has backed off we will see how many stay with the farm.
And no I don't hate the oil patch and its workers but its time they sucked it up and admitted they were over paid and move on. And also all the unions looked at the oil workers and got more money, just try to take some of that back.
