Alberta has been fooled by the Americans who own our oil.
If Canadian workers pump the crude out of the ground, Canadian workers run the refineries, Canadian workers transport the product around the world, and Canadian workers staff the gas stations, then why should the American capitalists make super-profits off our backs?
@JohnFinnigan1 nahhh man I hail from Alberta here and I can tell you myself Albertans are all for sucking american tits rather than benefiting their nation...
Venuzuela has a nationalized oil industry as does Russia. Canada tried it...even set up a crown corp...Petro Canada that was not competitive until the government sold it off...The "Big multinationals" don't come in and just take it, they pay royalties...government CANNOT do it on its own, and when they try in turns into bloated bureaucracy, do you take the risk to explore for it? Who pays the oil company for dry holes? Free market economy benifits us already.Just try another NEP,see what happens
As an Albertan I hate it when Canadians say that it is our oil. It is Alberta's Oil. If you want a piece of the pie move here. You think we are ripping you off, it works both ways. It is pretty much impossible for Alberta to manufacture here and sell it to Ontario do to provincial tariffs.
I say let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark. You want to Nationalize Oil, it is against the constitution which states natural resources are under provincial jurisdiction. Fool Alberta once with NEP...
Its people like you that make this COUNTRY weak! We are supposed to be together as a whole country not devided by what we can provide. Where's that Canadian compassion?? I lived in Alberta for awhile, its kinda like Texas, a very rascist backward society, maybe its the fumes!!!
sorry to hear you feel that way I hope you left quickly and got away from us "rednecks" as fast as you could and yes I am using sarcasm how dare you presume to be superior to an entire Provence by your statements YOU would appear to be the one that is prejudice
@harrisonconstantinou NO I am saying that Alberta's oil belongs to Alberta BY LAW and the federal government has no say over it { acording to the constitution) and can go fuck itself and the last time the fed stuck their nose in our oil (1980 national energy policy ) they wrecked our economy for 15 years so YA keep your fuckeng hands off my oil
@tovasdad iam not saying the 1980 energy policy, and how is your oil. I bet you if you go to the oil sands and say this is my oil and i want this oil, the companies would kick you out and arrest you because they are corporate pigs
@harrisonconstantinou I love people like you , Don't know anything about our oil industry but yet you seem to think you know every thing about it and every thing we are doing wrong yet every thing you mention has been tried and failed horrably and no I am not willing to give up my livelyhood just to make people like you happy . So the fact that you have NO say is a great thing because it doesn't belong to Canada it belongs to Alberta
you know nothing about the seal hunt. you shoudlnt be talking about what you dont know about Seal and Salmon are different situations. I am from east coast. where are you from? Ontario? Grow up and get a life and get out of my regions business or we will seperate too! THis is part of our way of life especially newfoundlanders. we dont need rich ontarions with all your manufacturing and coal fire plants destroying the earth telling us how to make our living and culture. Screw You!
Don't you think a Nationalized energy polocy would benefit all Canadians including Albertans. The only ones who would lose would be the multi-national oil companies. Further do you think the USA would let another nation control it's oil reserves? Look at Dubai and other Arab states, they are now lending money to the USA, the young Canadians and the next generation would enjoy prosperity like never before. Or we sit and watch the oil and revenue go outside the country.
i like i just how it is now, the wealth in alberta would go away if we nationalized our oil. If alberta were a country on its own (which it might be one day) it would have the second highest GDP per captalfor a country in the world next to luxembourg.
Eventually the wealth is going to go away anyway! It won't change anything by whining about who profits in our own country, the only ones profitting off the current system are oil barons, and I say, and I think I speak for a good number of people fed up with their bullshit "let them burn! they've screwed us over one too many times!"
We are giving away our oil and at the same time giving away an excellent oppurtunity to better our country with a cheap & abundant source of energy and revenues for capitol investments; it's ridiculous. To have no policy is shortsighted and , frankly, idiotic. We should follow the Norwegian model.
As far as Mulroney accepting bribes; governments are rampant with corruption.
