Political Mistake

[seldomseen]

You can thank Doug Ford for losing the election in Ontario.

There is a lot of voters remorse with Ford.

And Scheer was stupid enough to run on the platform of $50 billion in cuts. He played right into Trudeau's plan for Ontario.

So the answer for you Chuck is to just keep spending more money! Kill all the industry that creates money so just take more from the people.
Socialism great Chucky until you run out of other people’s money!

Market access is a portion of the decline. Oil sands oil is lower quality and cannot be refined everywhere. We were too dependent on the US market and refineries.

The US doesn't need our oil as much now and can cut the price paid. But the underlying fall in prices is because of world supply and demand.

Alberta needs to diversify their economy, other wise it is like a one industry town.

We have seen this boom and bust scenario before. High priced oil attracted lots of extra production . especially in the US.

The price of oil is still pretty high looking at it long term. The pipelines going to the east and west coast are not US markets which is needed. They are three pipelines behind in this area. Look at the capital that left western Canada to go pump oil in the US. Look at all the oil producers stocks. An unbelievable amount of dollars have been pulled out of this country. If the bust here is because price,then the boom in the states isn’t because of the price?

Look at the eastern fisheries gutted by fed policy, tried to diversify, retrain, whatever and none of it worked. basically it was Ab oil patch and pogey for them. They have nothing and that's why they voter liberal now.

What would like to diversify our economy to? You want coders in here? They are all in india. Like seriously WTF do you think will replace our resource based economy and don't you dare say those fing green jobs.

The eastern fishery gutted by federal policy? How so?

Didn't John Crosbie PC minister of the Fisheries shut down the inshore fishery based on over fishing and declining cod stocks? Over fishing and other factors drove the fishery into decline not the federal government.

There is more to Canada than the oil and gas sector. If you can't figure out what to do, let the next generation takeover because you have run out of ideas.

Every time the oil boom busts its always somebody else's fault. It is a cyclical commodity at best.
Investors love to invest when the returns are good only to take their money and run. Hardly an industry to build a sustainable economy on.

Oops. Fat fingers. Now I know what other posters are talking about.

Scheer was the wrong candidate with the wrong message. Until a leader arises with moderate hopeful views nothing will change. There are still too many remnants of the old reform party. Conservatism should not mean intolerance.

Interesting or conservatives here went with “old school leader” with old school ideals won the unwinnable election Won the let wit increased seats.

Seems Australia and USA maybe uk the last bastion of conservative thinking and voting.

Snippet fom news last night and quote “ Canada has returned minority JT govt one of e worlds true progressive leaders” hmmmm .........so does that mean anyone with onserative govt in regressive

You have no freaking clue what you are talking about. I am in Texas right now looking at an energy boom while Canada sits this one out. This is 100% politics.
