Scheer leaves himself open to claims he’s in cahoots with Big Oil

And I should add why should the taxpayer pick up the tab for that imbecile prime minister and his family to fly across the country in a taxpayer owned jet to go surfing then stop in Saskatoon for lunch. Another taxpayer funded holiday when is this idiot going to grow up.

Sorry chuck, your shaming exercise is over just like our govts. We should be proud, happy and supportive of a world leading industry that pays the bills and keeps together a country that doesn't deserve it.

Nothing shameful about asking a profitable industry to be accountable and cleanup its mess , unless you are an ass kissing gutless politician.

Anybody who thinks the oil industry and Alberta and the prairies are the only ones who work hard and contribute to the well being of the country need to get out more.

It's funny the patriotism attached to "our oil" given how much of it is foreign owned or foreign controlled. Giving away our assets at bargain basement prices to foreign corporations is not that smart. Recklessly damaging our environment in the process of extraction is just stupid. It doesn't even make that large a contribution to Government revenues - about 3.3% of total revenue came directly from the energy sector in 2016. A bit of Stockholm syndrome involved too when you all hate the high price of fuel but cheer on the guys charging you the high price.

Hey doofus, Notley and the NDP revisited royalty rates and their own people said the rates are in line with where they should be.

It's 'our oil', because as Canadians we all share in the royalty revenues. Why wouldn't we want this natural resource, to help in subsiding the amount of taxes we pay.

[beaverdam]

If the ChiComs were burning more Canadian oil, they'd be burning less of their coal, hence a carbon reduction, and a cleaner produced product.

Yeah that was disappointing - to find out that the NDP too were in cahoots with big oil. I guess that's the way it has to be to govern in a Petrostate?

The oil sands already is the biggest oil spill clean up operation on the planet. We are cleaning up what mother nature dumped millions of yrs ago.

And the foreign ownership is because our own country is too weak to invest in our own industries because we have a bunch of socialists here so we have to import capital and entrepreneurs.
