But then you completely dismiss the inflation caused by rising market prices for oil? Huh?

The carbon tax is very small compared to the subsidies and wealth transfer to the petro elites in the world!

But you don't want to talk that do you?

But then you completely dismiss that you don't have a clue how percentages work?

But you don't want to talk about that do you?

Did you read my post explaining how percentages work?

You mean the Middle East Oil Elites that Eastern Canada is shoveling barrel fulls of money at or maybe the Venezuelan Drug Lords or the Russian Ollie’s? They hate Western Canada as in Alberta and Saskatchewan so much the Eastern Despots would rather support the worst in the world.

So the oil companies in Alberta didn't make record profits and receive the largest share of subsidies?

Its ironic that you pretend free marketers continue to support the OPEC oil cartel manipulating prices that continually transfer massive wealth from consumers to oil producers including the ones in Canada.

And you also say nothing about the massive government subsidies to the same oil companies? Nor admit that there is a massive cleanup liability that the oil companies don't want to pay for. Danny Smith has a plan to let taxpayers foot the bill.

The hypocrisy and sewage runs deep in some quarters!

Albertans shouldn't be lecturing Quebec about pollution in rivers based on their record with the tailing ponds leaking into the Athabaska river which is far worse than treated waste water.

Having known several who have swam in these AB rivers, we should first subtract all the naturally occuring "leakage" for perspective.
An affected area percentage comparison as well, including the reclaimed of course.
Eventually the most expensive production (ours) will belong to the First Nations. Quebec seems to be the one always lecturing. Do as I say not as I do.

The late David Schindler at the University of Alberta was very clear that the oil sands are polluting the Athabaska river and you are in denial about the scale and impact of the tar sands on the environment. Its environmental destruction on a grand scale that doesn't look pretty does it! And they have been driving Canada's green house gas emissions much higher.

The oil companies got a massive royalty holiday until they paid back their huge oversized capital costs for a very energy and capital intensive source of dirty oil.

Without that huge subsidy, the oil sands would have probably stayed in the ground!

With oil demand falling in the next decade, the tar sands will become a stranded asset and Alberta will have a massive environmental clean up bill. Just like they have for all the old oil wells they don't clean up. Privatize the profits and make the taxpayers pay for the cleanup? Great work Alberta!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

For how long have you been predicting oil demand will be falling?
Once again, you have confused forecasted models with actual real-time data.
No credible scientific organization that isn't political is claiming anything other than continued growth.

Repeating the boldface lie that the oil and gas industry receives subsidies doesn't make it true. Without oil and gas, canuckistan is a third world country. Oil and gas pays the bills around here and funds subsidies everywhere else in the canuckistanian economy. You can't point to any other industry in canuckistan that is competitive on the world stage. Then chuck refers to the quack shindler.
