Those capitalists are at it again....

This pipeline stuff may all be too late anyway. There is basically only one overseas customer for WCS and that's china and we are about to piss them off royally.


You know, foreign powers might be exactly what this country needs to pull it shit together. China rejects our crude, T2 cancels the LAV deal and Saudi stops selling us, our leaders dig their heads out of there ass and 1 million bbl out of Ab finds its was along a revamped energy east pipeline. Trudeau gets a clue about really fighting climate change if it exists and announces a million bushel biodiesel plant out west.

We are a country of 35 million .....we need about 250 million to help use the resources we have in agriculture....energy ....and others. ...

We are not a stupid people...

...but we hire very stupid people to run our country....


They spend a lot of time consulting but not listening...

I don’t know about any of you, but everyday the price of oil falls is better news for us farmers.
Local Coop dropped fuel price .12 in one wk.
Hopefully the plunge keeps going, at least we can POSSIBLY say we will have one reasonable priced input going into spring.
Yes, it should be cheaper with today’s crude price, but there’s a glimmer of hope.

As soon as oil moves up fuel prices will ramp up twice as fast....

We should be at 65 cents a liter for diesel....

Canada barely qualifies for the definition of a country. We are string together by threads and nobody wants them strengthened. natives live in their own world locked in a dance with the govt forever, Quebec all about Quebec, martimes on welfare, BC envirowhackadoos, throw in some socialists for good measure and its a wonder we are a country at all.

Apparently, every province trades more with the US than they do with each other. I guess we are a vassel state after all.

Ditto...been thinking that since high school political debates! As an old hobby wood worker, The continent,(if a board of wood) was crosscut E-W against the grain, leaves it weak as hell. Easy to break with N-S grain. Sad but true, many self interest groups pulling in all directions, not together for common good. However, the USA is split 50-50 on many issues and politics, the EU is being tested. It is hard to keep a "heard of cats" going in same direction forever. Guess that's why empires increased and waned in history.

JAZZ puts it in a nutshell.
This country needs equal reps per province in the senate.
Trudeau knows exactly how to buy votes.
I like Scheer, not bombastic, steady, a true Canadian, don’t think a “Trump-like” would work here,
I think we can only support Scheer and try to present unity.
It has been said “You can fool some of the people all of the time ......etc, etc. “
Trudeau plays a good game, so far hard to beat.

The money that the federal government just injected into the oil industry reminds me of that saying --- Give a man a fish you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish you feed him for life . . . . but if it's against the law to own fishing tackle or put a line in the water whats the sense. Justin why won't you let the Oil Industry do some fishing and support it' self as opposed to writing huge cheques, logic is wonderful when used properly, to me it's a an easy solution, more pipelines are needed.

Not sure the Cons did a rebuild like the Libs did a few years ago.
Can't yet put my finger on JTs disconnect.
In his book he talks about the need for our resources to be developed ( to share the wealth), he blames the Cons for inaction. And yet he tries to steer everything through his other tenets.
Equality of income, gender, the Environment, diversity, multiculturalism.
The dangers of anything that takes an in his mind, opposite stance.
His ideals are fine and dandy, but
life isn't as cut and dryed as he would like. I'm not sure if naive is the right word. But there is something missing alright. Difficult to find the right word.
Like someone who's never been ground down a little by real life telling us all to click our heels together 3 times and just "believe".

In reading about this announcement it looks like over$1 billion of it is for loans. Some money to explore market diversification which is a joke because we couldn't get the oil there if we found a new market. There is $55 million for greening of infrastructure. This whole announcement to me looks like a bunch of hot air that amounts to nothing that is going to help Alberta!!!!!

Just typical Liberals trying to buy votes. Always remember back to 2010? when Mc****y was trying to get reelected in Ontario and wrote every cattleman a subsidy payout cheque for their new livestock risk management program, whether you wanted it or not. I think mine was around $1400. Even the provincial Ag advisors called it vote buying at public forums. The next year, when you were expected to continue with the program, you wrote that cheque back plus a little extra to cover the insurance premium. Many of us were not quite that stupid.
