We would refine it here and use it here. exporting your resources does not make for "security" of anything. Once the product is gone, its gone. No exporting of tar/oil. If we kept it in Canada, we would reduce/eliminate our dependance upon other countries and reduce the cost of gas for Canadians. If Canada felt it was in our best interest we could sell to the Americans for their internal use only. That would actually create long term jobs for Canadians. We would manage the rate at which the stuff was taken out of the ground.<br /><br />Of course that is not what China wants so it isn't going to happen. Whatever caused stevie slime to embrace china in the manner he has, is beyond me, but I'd sure like to know. Here we have a person who proports to be a christian, yet is ready to do business with a country which oppresses christians, for that matter any faith. So stevie slime is either a hipporite or an idiot. <br /><br />We may well be the last generation, aging baby boomers, who got to see the world as it was, beautiful, reasonably clean, etc. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-530747801855316652013-08-04T06:28:24.845-04:002013-08-04T06:28:24.845-04:00hi anonymous...You know I think that Harper though...hi anonymous...You know I think that Harper thought he had got away with interfering in the American election. And no doubt many Canadians have forgotten what happened. But I'm sure Obama hasn't, and I'm sure he's enjoying making Harper squirm.

Can you imagine how much richer this country would be if the Albertans had acted in the national interest back then? Instead of allowing foreign companies to gobble up their oil fields, and run off with most of the profits. Pierre Elliot Harper, he must hate the idea, but I'm really enjoying it... ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-87829449891189437312013-08-04T06:21:56.689-04:002013-08-04T06:21:56.689-04:00hi anonymous...very good question, who will get th...hi anonymous...very good question, who will get those jobs? Canadians or cheap foreign labour? Besides since a pipeline once completed requires very few permanent jobs, it's almost irrelevant. And where will that refined oil go I wonder, into the gas tanks of Eastern Canada or all the way to China? THe whole thing looks desperate to me, just another Con scam...

And now Barry is playing him like a cheap plywood violin.<br /><br />But the big oil money won't get him out of this one. The country, the world, is seeing Stevie as the big oil pimp that he really is. The illusion of Stevie has been revealed as a cheap trick.<br /><br />And Stevie, a quiet word. Never, ever try to interfere in American elections ever again.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-6687108132721724762013-08-03T11:29:18.368-04:002013-08-03T11:29:18.368-04:00Hey Simon, give him some credit, will you?
He is ...Hey Simon, give him some credit, will you?<br /><br />He is finally starting to understand, some 40-50 years later, what PET tried to do with his NEP. Ensuring that all Canadians had a secure supply of energy was one of the planks of the NEP. That was why, so PET told us, he wanted to tranport western oil to the Eastern bastards, no? <br /><br />Harper's just a bit, you know ... slow, eh? That was why he wanted to promote a "firewall" around a landlocked province instead of promoting pipelines at a time when the environmental concerns were almost non-existent. These pipelines to the East would have been already in existence promoting energy security for all Canadians for the last 40 years.<br /><br />Thus it is interesting to see Harper promoting PET's NEP. What next? Harper claiming he is a long lost brother of Justin? lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-52384140401339180362013-08-03T10:59:17.146-04:002013-08-03T10:59:17.146-04:00Who will get the jobs, building this West East pip...Who will get the jobs, building this West East pipeline? Canadians or cheap foreign labor?<br /><br />For the Keystone, Premier Redford promised to hire American War Vets, to build the Keystone, on both sides oft the border.<br /><br />Petro-China also offered to build the Enbridge pipeline. China said, they have very experienced pipeline layers. They can bring over thousands of Chinese to build the Enbridge very quickly and very cheaply.<br /><br />Most decent Canadians have been brought up, in a Democracy. We believe in good over evil. Canada is no longer that country because, Harper is a Dictator and, most certainly not a Conservative. Harper has no morals nor ethics, what-so-ever. Harper is of his, Northern Foundation of 1989. Harper brought his vile policies, right along with him.<br /><br />People need to be very careful of, what they wish for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-73371257195741405312013-08-03T09:24:58.324-04:002013-08-03T09:24:58.324-04:00A golden opportunity now exists for either Trudeau...A golden opportunity now exists for either Trudeau or Mulcair to draw a comparison to harper's job numbers and the impact of just one industry going down the tubes in the name of his big oil pipeline dream. The direct and indirect job loss is staggering and the jobs created by this pipe dream do nothing to fill the gap. It gets increasingly frustrating when these opportunities exist yet none of these have been made stick to the worst PM in Canadian history. His credibility should be completely shot by now if it weren't for weak opposition and a media conspiring to keep this POS in power.bcwaterboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506402752799423770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-56708928595407770262013-08-03T08:58:47.506-04:002013-08-03T08:58:47.506-04:00harper sounds more and more like a guy whose irrel...harper sounds more and more like a guy whose irrelevance is becoming almost unbearable for him so he is grasping at any wild straw now to try and bolster his foundering world image. Sucks to be him and even his own supporters are starting to see the bow going under so they're starting to jump ship before they get too smeared with his shit.
