Friday end of the Week Wrap up on a Thursday.

Well US farmers are totally welcome to vote Biden if they are unhappy. Guy sounds just like the retard we have here running Canada.

When ever some politician tells you there will be a great transition to new economy, think about our own Maritimes.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden answered in the affirmative on Thursday when asked whether he would be willing to sacrifice economic growth and blue-collar jobs in the oil and gas industries in favor of clean energy.
“The answer is yes,” the former vice president reponded to Politico’s Tim Alberta, who moderated Thursday night’s sixth Democratic presidential primary debate in Los Angeles.
Alberta noted that the U.S. has seen several “stints of explosive economic growth due to a boom in oil and natural gas production” and asked Biden whether transitioning to a green economy was worth losing some economic growth as well as displacing “maybe hundreds of thousands of blue-collar workers.”
“The opportunity for those workers to transition to high-paying jobs … is real,” Biden responded. “There are so many things we can do, and we have to make sure we explain it to those people who are displaced that their skills are going to be needed for the new opportunities.”

Are they saying there won't be boom and busts in those new green high paying jobs?

What happens when they have enough windmills and solar panels? Or do they start to tear them out and replace them ...to keep the religion anchored on nonsense....

Look the "green " economy is subsidized and will be for years....I am not against it if it makes sense but the environmental hazards with solar panels to build or scrap them is just as high or higher than everyones bitching about oil and gas...

To build a hydro dam is an environmental problem as well but sometimes you have to look at the greater good ...

A balanced approach would certainly be welcome as opposed to the forced approach of paying for it all...

After Greta decided our future I don't mind sending the next generation the bill....

Canada’s oil sands majors continue on their autonomous haulage journey

The big oil sands mining players in Alberta are quietly ramping up their autonomous truck programmes, to the point where in a few years time they will not be far behind Australia’s Pilbara in terms of numbers of autonomous trucks running and will certainly lead the world in terms of the largest ultraclass autonomous trucks market.

Yep and all farms will be robot also. What’s your point you still need a human to watch for a computer **** up.

Americans are working and Canadians are losing jobs.

So I’ll go with the USA over Canada any day.

Merry Christmas

Autonomous and remote piloted are not the same thing. These trucks will still have drivers, they will just not be in the cab.

"Suncor is building a fleet of 150 driverless trucks that will cut 400 jobs over the next six years"

Two teenagers trained on Fornite paid minumum wage should be able to handle the fleet of driverless trucks. The savings will go to shareholders.

CAT has fully autonomous ones operating in Australia.

carbon tax chuck stop it already !

You are ruining this site !

Huh? With stories about autonomous trucks? CAT and Komatsu are radical companies?

Read the John Deere article above , its world wide tractor and machinery sales are down.

Fark we used to pay cash for new equipment in the 90s

Watching CNN this morning and Democrats think all illegal boarder crashes should be given free education and health. Ah any of them actually look at poor in there own districts.

Dow s&p and NAS are all up. 76% of Americans believe the USA is doing great. So 25% of the population believes the Democrats. I will call it now trump 2020.

Canada on the other hand looks like a third world crap zone.

Skippy is taking a well deserved family day why not call it like it is a Holliday paid for by you and me to Costa Rica.

Wow he is so good.

I just checked, Canada exported $45M wheat, $13M frozen vegies, and non specific machinery to Costa Rica. Are those exports safe now . . . .

Hopefully the PMO's public relations people quietly took the leader aside before the trip and re-re-re-re introduced him to the concept of common sense, we'll wait and see what the absorption rate will be.
