In Alaska, every citizen gets $1000 month royalty cheque from oil. In Saudi, most of the country have no jobs, thye get cash from oil. In Canada we dont get a cheque, we get the luxury of supporting a whiny bunch of a-holes from Quebec.
Tell me chuck, what other part of the economy could do that. Uber drivers. Oil is the most intense resource and economic driver this country has got. Nothing in Canada has ever come close to it, nor will it ever. 1 barrel of oil is worth one mans life time of labour. The productivity from that resource is off the charts.
Chuck would have you believe we can replace oil with 7-11s or some sh*t. This is the mind of an economic literate. No way he put a 40 quarter farm together himself.

There is no way Canada should be a basket case. With the resources we have been endowed with, productive land, abundant forests and our location between US and Europe, we should be one of the richest countries on earth. Its a crying shame that we are held hostage by the Laurentian elites and their Quebec buddies.

Some mighty good yearly averages 2011-2014. Can't blame a hangover after the second day, so to speak.
Not sure we'll see a string of years like this till the 2030-2035 commodity supercycle that a few on Agriville are wagering the farms on.
Maybe we all should be demanding the PM of Canada have a bit of foresite when we cast our votes, and not someone for the sake of change.
Just saying.Last edited by foragefarmer; Jun 7, 2024, 15:22.

Saudi is able to have a royalty for its citizens for several reasons;
1. Smaller domestic population, zero immigration
2. Larger oil production
3. Been investing oil profits in US markets for 75 yrs.
Canada totally missed the boat fighting language wars and tin pot ottawa tyrants still wed to the hinterland idea.

An entire country 1/3 the size of western Canada, that fully utilized its natural resources to pay for public services, not the absolute idiocy in reverse
Norway figured this out a long time ago as well
don’t kill wealth creation, work with it
wealth creation pays for social services , not the other way around like the dum asses in Canada . Sad so many completely have no clue .
More government jobs create a burden, not wealth creation … idiotsLast edited by furrowtickler; Jun 8, 2024, 00:24.

And what real world job experience does little PP bring to the job?
He's been a politician living off of taxpayers almost his entire adult life.
That's probably why he said crypto currency would solve inflation! He has no clue nor solutions but he is good at yapping!
