Inflation all caused by governments including Trump's? With all that covid support payments, Trump must be a marxists! LOL

Inflation had nothing to do with supply chain issues or high energy and commodity prices rebounding?

A fake crisis? What the hell you smokin Jazz?

Tell that to the thousands and millions of families who lost their relatives to covid. It was just a fake pandemic of global proportions!

More agrisilly logic!

Jazz vastly oversimplified the situation for your sake Chuck.

The much bigger issues is misguided government policies which have driven investment away from fossil fuels all over the world. The cost of energy is the root of the cost of every single product or service. Lack of investment has resulted in lack of supply, which has resulted in high prices. Made even worse by the addition of even more expensive renewables. Printing money around the world is only throwing fuel on the fire.

Crystia's grandma, spitting image, her grandfather was chief editor of the Krakivski Visti.

So A5 the ups and downs of the oil and gas markets have nothing to do with rising and falling demand?

During the first year of the pandemic, demand dropped along with oil prices as everybody stayed home for a few months.

The share price of most oil companies dropped like a stone along with new drilling plans. Why invest in exploration and drilling during an unpredictable period of low prices during a pandemic?

The drop actually started while Harper was prime minister. A slowing economy in China and lower demand seems to be the cause then.

I guess Harper and Trudeau musn't control the world price of oil after all?

In the medium and longer term as the world shifts to renewable and low carbon energy sources of course demand will drop.

But Albertan's like yourself, like to ignore all the other supply and demand reasons why oil prices go up and down and stick the blame on politicians who you disagree with. It's not like Alberta has ever gone though a boom and a bust before? Have they? LOL

You also seem to forget that Putin's invasion of the Ukraine has been a major upset to energy markets especially in Europe.

As usual the Agrisilly arm chair experts seem to suffer from amnesia and other mental blocks.

My grandfather escaped that regime.

Kinda busy so didn't read every word.
Chuck's tantrum mentioned Alberta specifically and often enough to prove his perspective and my point.
I thought we were all Canadians.
I didn't know Alberta was allowed to be such a cruel regime. Identity politics and division works well but eventually swallows the host. Chuck should take lessons from Trump.
Albertans didn't jail farmers for a bag of wheat. That took a Saskatchewan Luddite. A Marxist henchman.
Yes over the years some of us have looked East and laughed. Now we look East in admiration. Overlooking the anachronists of course.

[chuckChuck]

Only mentioned Alberta once for the record.

Isn't it Albertans who like to put themselves above the rest of Canada because Alberta is the only province that works hard and contributes to Canada by the stroke of luck of sitting on large reserves of oil and gas?

And when the world price of oil crashes its always someone else's fault!

Albertan's are so hard done by. LOL

[blackpowder]

And perception is double edged.
The Albertans that made the brand are a dying breed. I wish you could hear their stories.

Stroke of luck, are you insane. Do you have any idea the engineering, ingenuity and capital it requires to extract oil and gas. Alberta isnt Saudi Arabia.

And yes, ABs gdp per capital clearly states that people there are more productive than the rest of Canada. So they work harder and contribute an outsized portion of the countrys GDP and transfer payments relative to their size.

And then shat on because of vindictive eastern bastards in power.

Almost twice as productive as the Maritimes and 1.5 times than Quebec. Lets see how BC and Ontario hold up once their housing bubbles goes bust. Take away AB equalization contribution and every provinces GDP per capital falls another $5k.

You have no idea what Canada actually is.

No reasoning with with idealists. Like telling a Christian god maybe doesn’t exist.

you might as well reason with a doorknob

[chuckChuck]

So Alberta had about 15% of Canada's GDP based on an important and large resource sector. What about the other 85% from the rest of Canada? That's not important?

As usual the oil centric think they are the most and only important part of Canada because their GDP contribution is above the Canadian average.

It's like the neighbors who become rich because of a few oil wells into their freehold minerals, who suddenly decide they have worked harder and are smarter than everyone else.

Let me explain the circle jerk economy versus export value driven economy. Toronto and BC rely on housing for their GDP. People selling houses to each other at higher and higher prices. Its called the FIRE economy Finance Insurance and Real Estate. It creates more debt than revenue.

Same as the auto sector transferring parts back and for across the border 5 times.

Now compare that to our number one export, thats oil...and grains, and potash, and lumber, and uranium and critical minerals and even electricity.

Our exports are keeping our trade balance in check which keeps our currency solvent, and only 2 provinces are mostly responsible for that.

How about taking an econ course.
