Oil would be #1 if it weren’t for the Trudeau’s.

How is social assistance gdp?

About same as % of population, Farmers only 2-3%, now I feel insignificant!
If the other 97% of GDP sectors couldn't eat or had to hunt/grow their own....

Something is severely wrong when real estate is #1 for gdp. Is China buying up this country.

BC is one of the most popular places in the world for asian money laundering.
42% of Vancouver residential sits empty owned by non resident investors.
Hide your money and drive the price up due to housing shortage because all sitting empty.
Thats all OK but no dirty oil.

Our trusted friends at SNC just came out with a study that says we need 3x the power production by 2050 and Hydro or Nuclear are the only reliable choices.
Equivalent to 113 site C Hydro projects.
That's a lot of $1.72 a day.

Power grid upgrades will be required for this game of luxury car virtue signalling.

Health care and saftey nets for those who can't take care of themselves.

Imagine the economic impact of poor health care if people who are sick can't get treatment? When sick people can't work, don't pay taxes or spend much money and can't make much a contribution, this would have a negative impact on the economy.

What happens to a farm when the person who does most of the management and work gets sick and nobody else can easily step into replace them? Imagine if this happens a lot in a country with poor health care. Good healthcare is important for a strong economy.

Amd so is vibrant wealth creating industry to pay for the health care .... money don’t grow on trees

You need both good healthcare for a strong economy and a strong economy for good healthcare. They work together.

Good education is also very important for a strong economy. Both education and healthcare are the top 2 largest provincial expenditures by far.

Like Jazz, I also heard from an oil exec that the keystone XL pipeline would bring riches to Alberta, it would make electric vehicles be taken back to the horse age. That oil would be THE resource. No point getting anything electric, our future in oil is now.

Now imagine if Kenny would have spent 1.3 billion + loan guarantees on rechargeable infrastructure - or frankly anything else? Oh right, tax payer subsidies on oil and lost causes are just fine with low IQ Agriville.

I have a relative who has purchased an electric car. She was excited about the fact that there were charging stations where she could recharge her car for free. What I don’t understand is why proponents of electric cars feel government(so taxpayers) should supply this recharging infrastructure and at present doing it for free? First government subsidizes the purchase of the car, then supplies the energy to run it, how will government eventually recover the costs?
