In 2018 alone, according to detailed information I recently requested from Statistics Canada, the value of crude oil imported into the country was nearly $20 billion. Considering that the oil business is one of the most job-rich parts of the economy, this amounts to exporting a lot of high-paying domestic jobs to foreign places.
It’s true there are some complications to the picture that are sometimes lost in the rush judgement, such as the fact even with pipelines to the Atlantic, it would not be simple to replace the lighter grades of oil coming in to Saint John, New Brunswick by tanker.
Complications aside, the inflow is an irritant to those who see made-in-Canada petroleum under sustained attack inside of Canada, including by our own politicians, while imported fuels are able to dodge nearly all of the barriers our own products face. This is what torques the irritation to rage – the fact that the vast majority of our fossil fuel imports fail to meet the same environmental, social or economic standards that beleaguered Canadian energy must.
It turns out that crude oil is not the only fossil fuel product this applies to.

According to Prinz Dummkopf, et. al., importing oil is the right thing to do if it hurts Alberta. How else could he rein in and crush a rebellious part of the empire? He’s simply following the same tactics as Beijing is using against Hong Kong but without sending in tanks, namely because he’s gutted the military.
Yes.. .so true, B A.
Saw one of his men on the news last night. The liars don’t, and never have, made any sense.
Best thing is that the younger set that I’ve been talking to in the last few days, are saying he has to go. Trudeau is bad for business.
What a ridiculous state of affairs our country is in.
Canadians are being thoroughly ripped off.
Anyone who votes for this is a traitor, those would be supporters of the Liberals, NDP, & Greens
#TrudeauMustGo
#TrudeauMustResign
#TrudeauMustGoToJail
You left out the Cons they couldn’t get a pipeline built either.
Yes let’s pay the Islamist owned Oil Company’s so they can support their Islamist Agenda in Canada
$20 Billion?
Foreign oil imported = $20 Billion(and climbing)
Liberal Deficit = $ 20 Billion(and climbing)
Liberal Election Announcements = $20 Billion(and climbing)
Quebec Tithe =$20 Billion(and climbing)
Corporation Corruption = $ Billions Beyond Counting
Quebec Mafia Cut = $ see Charbonneau Commission
Pretty soon we’ll be talking real money.
Say hello to your little Liberal friend…..future tax increases.
And lots of them.
This is a sideshow. Foreign oil makes sense in Atlantic tidewater areas. 20 billion is peanuts when one looks at how much more ab/SK could/should be producing (we should be increasing production by at least 250000 bpd every year) and selling to clients on pacific tidewater for far more than eastern Canada will pay.
Trudeau, the PMO and several cabinet ministers broke the law for a lot less than 20 billion.
Also, it’s not the amount, but the source of some of it.
Funny how no one is mentioning that Junior:
1. Promised no Omnibus Bills
2. Buried the SNC DPA Legal Bill deep inside a Financial Omnibus Bill
3. Blatantly Lied about the reason
4. Will never make it as an actor
“Foreign oil makes sense in Atlantic tidewater areas.”
Yes, but as the article states most of our east coast crude imports come by land from America.
To any left wing tree huggers out there you will bankrupt Canada if the policies of your beloved Liberals continues.Read the article importing oil to the tune of 4million dollars an hour,we can’t sustain this.Start sticking up for Canada or there won’t be a Canada
Tell the CBC and the Toronto Star.
And etc,etc,etc.
Absent Untwits lobotomized lunacy, tis rare to find the left wingees hugging anything around here.
Vivian Kause nails the foreign interference in our oil pipelines! The Rockefeller Foundations being one!! Their goal is to land lock Canadian Oil!!! The Liberals are a waste of time in this, the question is who will stand up for the Canadian Oil Industry!
The Rockefeller Foundation didn’t do it by itself. Ever since PET, the Liberal party has regarded as Albertans as serfs, always were and always should be. The Rockefellers merely provided a means by which that could be enforced.
You say the liberals are a waste of time in this, I say it’s more like the lieberals are working in collusion with the Rockefeller foundation
to land lock Canadian oil. That is trudeau’s hidden agenda.
Canadian must elect a government that serves ALL Canadians. What party would that be? NDP? greens? Lib-Cons? PPC?
We are so F’ed!
You summed it up perfectly A. If America had not gone to the polls bigly, and swung the vote the right way, overwhelming the cheat vote that was in place, the roundups would be well underway by now. The hag had one plan only, and this dull minion of communist decent, that was taken to the island and versed on the plan was prepared to do its part. Make Canada Venezuela, should be the liberal slogan
There is no evidence of any ‘cheat vote’.
Remember that the Desmarais family are major shareholders in Total Petro which sources 100% of its oil from the middle east
Good and very informative article…from the Left Coast no less…?
4 million an hour.
None of it subject to Gender considerations
None of it subject to Carbon Taxation
Non of it subject to TANKER Bans
Non of it subject to Any regulations the West must adhere to
….and you can bet your booties, the massive cash flow of foreign (Nigerian, Saudi & Azerbijani), grease money into the Quebec Political Scene via the Montreal/Quebec City Docks continues to not only flow freely but is increaseing proportionately.
There has been and continues to be an inbred hatred of Alberta by Anyone on the Left side of things and in particular, BC Lower mainland Eco-twats, the Liberals & the Trudeaus.
Should PM Dickspank return in Oct….I will expect Alberta & Sask to Leave, in fact I, among a great many others will demand we do.
So Im just asking?
If Alberta separates you will have to deal with the Canada that remains or the USA to get your oil off of North America would you not?
Wouldn’t it be easier to just vote PPC and have Max use the constitution to get them built. Why haven’t the LibCons not used our Constitution to get pipelines built is actually the real question you should all be asking yourselves.
A People’s Party Government will:
Counter anti-oil and anti-pipeline propaganda from radical environmentalists and foreign foundations.
Repeal Bill C-48.
Repeal Bill C-69.
Approve pipelines projects using a streamlined process.
Find a private buyer for Trans Mountain.
***Reassert federal jurisdiction over pipelines construction by invoking section 92(10) of our Constitution, whereby Parliament can declare any project to be for the general advantage of Canada.***
I gather the LibCons didn’t really want those pipelines built or they don’t know our own Constitution but I really wonder why???
The LibCons have been:

Angle~”Wouldn’t it be easier to just vote PPC and get another 4 years of Zoolander?” FIFY
Alberta is better off without those Eastern Bastids who love to use us as their whipping boy. Another 4 years of Zoolander will kill us.
Zoolander Trudeau and the Liberals are not going to win the next election our corrupt polls and media are leading you all to believe that cant you see their trying to lead us all by the nose
Albertans problem is that the NDP split vote and it’s all scaring you all and I get it but we all have to do the right thing.
Oct 21 is still far away so you don’t need to decide just yet until your actually standing in the polling booth.
Let’s see what transpires until then.
I want Trudeau out no ifs ands or butts… Pun intended
But I can’t vote for Trudeau Scheer 2
We can’t handle another million Islamist come the next election after this one our population is not large enough to handle that.
We’re on a do or die point in our homeland this October and we all better get it right and remember I voted for Harper last election even though I can’t stand my Conservative MP since he is a fn Liberal.
“Albertans problem is that the NDP split vote”
The NDP didn’t spit the vote. The NDP took advantage of a vote which was split by assholes such as Bartinsky, who voted Progressive Conservative because they were too stupid to realize that 2/3rds of Alberta conservative voters had moved on.
Bernier will not get 1/3rd of the conservative vote.
Bernier is polling at between 1-2%. Just enough to win in battleground ridings and secure another term for Zoolander.
Yeah and Hillary and all of the worlds media believed in corrupt polls.
Notice how no one mentions the Liberal Conservative Party’s Platforms
That’s because it’s almost the same as Trudeau Liberals Platforms
All the Cons have left is to fear monger you into voting for them.
Don’t fall for it….
It’s a ruse a con from the only two parties who have Ever governed Federally in Canada.
Time to get off the LibCons Clown Merry-Go-Round.
The PPC party is a fraud.
Voting PPC will only help the Liberals.
Wake up, you are being used to keep the Liberal in power.
Max will get a nice appointment.
The PPC party is a fraud.
No that’s the Liberal Conservative Party that is defrauding all Canadian Conservatives
Voting PPC will only help the Liberals.
The Liberals will be lucky to hold their party status just like what happened in Ontario.
Wake up, you are being used to keep the Liberal in power.
I am awake and if the Cons get in we get Scheer Trudeau 2
Max will get a nice appointment.
Yes he will when Max becomes PM in October.
Scheer sucks up to the Islamist just as much as Trudeau they are globalist twins of the party of one known as the dreaded LibCons
Proof Scheer kisses Islamist ass here it is

As I stated before a Liberal troll on here daily ,a huge percentage of Angels posts run the conservatives down while the true enemy are the liberals.Harper had a hand in building many pipelines Get your facts straight.Your not fooling anyone
Of course I am running the Conservative Party down because they are no longer Conservative since they have adopted most of the Liberals platforms.
There’s no difference in between the Libs and Cons that’s why we call them both what they truly actually are and that’s the LibCons the only two parties to govern our Canadian Federal Government and look at the complete mess they have made but heh just like a majority here say Canadians never learn and vote always for the wrong party eh?
Your the liberal troll who is supporting the Liberal Cons..
Harper had a hand in building many pipelines Yeah just not to a coast where we can sell it to the world eh!
Terry you get your facts straight.Your not fooling anyone
No. Not the same. Nobody compares to the Corrupt Liberal Party of Canada. Nobody.
“The reason (the Director of Public Prosecutions Act) was proposed in the last election — and I’m not afraid to say it — is that a lot of people were confused about the fact that a number of advertising agencies were pursued with legal action when one organization, which was clearly at the centre of the same scandal and benefited directly from it without any question whatsoever … was not,” Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre said in 2006.
The Sponsorship Scandal had a major role in the 2006 victory of a Conservative minority government, particularly given the Tories’ campaign promise to clean up political corruption. “Bend the rules, you will be punished; break the law, you will be charged; abuse the public trust, you will go to prison,” Stephen Harper said at the time.
Angels posts run the conservatives down while the true enemy are the liberals.
Lasts election Canadians fell for Harper and the cons were the true enemy and since it worked so well let’s do it again but now it’s the Liberals who are the true enemy but that’s how the LibCons Party of one rolls they are only the two parties you are allowed to vote for and it’s a ruse a con and done deliberately but go ahead and vote the Globalist Scheer and his Liberal Conservative Party again for that’s all Canadians know how to do and what’s truly sad is that you all expect the LibCons to fix our Federal Government but all that happens is
Government keeps growing larger
Our Debt keeps growing larger
Out rights as free thinking people’s and our free speech keep on being diminished and banned eh you fn Islamist.
When will Canadians ever learn that’s its way past it’s time to get off the LibCons Clowns Merry-Go-Round ?
All the LibCons ever do is keep us circling the drain as we fall into totalitarianism.
Who was the last PM to not have the debt grow larger? Spare us your cannibal conservatism.
So your saying the Cons never had deficits???

Conservatives Sink Canada into Largest Debt in History
The Conservatives are stellar at economic management – enough so that they managed to bring Canada to its highest level of debt in history. Canada’s debt hit $600 billion yesterday and shows yet again how competent the Conservatives are at managing Canada’s economy – as if their chronic and secretive spending habits and their new round of deficits weren’t bad enough.
The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation has officially made the call for the government to start spending within its means, calling this record debt a milestone for the Harper Government. To put some perspective on the size of this debt, if divided among Canadians, each person would be $17,200 in the red.
At the current rate, with increased deficits, Canada’s debt is growing by $74.6 million per day or $863 per second.
https://thecanadianpoliticalscene.blogspot.com/2012/11/conservatives-sink-canada-into-largest.html?m=1
Spare us your cannibal fake comments.
You forgot the Long Term Debt Load. It is from 4-6Trillion depending on who you believe. Debt and Deficit are 2 different things.
No I’m not saying that. Read for God’s sakes.
When was the last PM who has a lower debt going out than coming in?
Do you actually know the difference between annual deficits and total debt?
Asked and answered, you obviously don’t.
Canada has the population of California and total debt of Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, over half of the EU combined.
Taxes already consume more of the average Canadians pay check than what they are left to take home and pay for food, clothing, and shelter. The necessities of life.
Even a man who panhandles some change on the sidewalk and lives in a cardboard box under a bridge gets taxed when he spends that money.
Canadians live in a Gulag Prison of over 550,000 PAGES of rules and laws and regulations, a prison were you are always breaking some code or law. All that paper shuffled by Uncivil Servants making double what the average workers make in Canada.
Canada has become a Criminal Cabal. And there is absolutely no way it is a Legitimate Democracy. The Federal Elections are a Con and a scam to keep you enslaved to the Criminal Enterprise.
Each Province can only save itself by a UDI and kick Ottawa out. Then re-federate if they so choose or go it alone. Canadians are well and truly FOOKED. Now lets have a chorus of “I AM CANADIAN” Dumb Twats.
Hey Shamrock my comment was to Angel not you and yah I do know the difference. Calm down.
I was responding to Angel, who doesn’t know the difference, so you calm down.
Sorry Shamrock, over to you, now you calm down Charlie. Ha Ha Ha. You want Chickee Ball.
Geez a guy writes deficit instead of debt and he gets his balls busted yes my mistake I do make them I’m constantly fixing autocorrect errors since I use my IPhone to post here.
You were both correct
But the just of what I said was ignored because you don’t agree or what?
4 to 6 Trillion really I know mortgages are now over a Trillion the rest has to be unfunded liabilities government workers and such and if that’s the case why in God’s name are we letting in millions of Islamist to be on the government dole they truly do want to ruin us all.
Angel, Max will get pipelines built through Quebec? Only if Quebec gets a Churchill Falls type of deal.
Will Max end the electric power deal that sees Quebec get over a billion a year from Churchill Falls, whilst Newfoundland gets $65 million.
Never had an answer to the above question from Max. Why?
Joe your stuck in the past don’t let it control your future
Max will do what’s right for Canada and using the constitution to build pipelines Max doesn’t have to sell out to know one.
It gets built whether they BC or Quebec like it or not.
There is no negotiation period
I don’t know how I can prove this to you guys but as an example outside of the Montreal area Montreal is hated within the rest of Quebec just like Toronto is.
Max posted this today hes a hard ass who is fighting for a better future for his own kids and ours.
Max said this
UN: Change your laws to fit our globalist agenda.
Trudeau: At your command!
Africa: We need $$ to build roads.
Trudeau: Here’s your cheque!
Fake refugee: Can I come in?
Trudeau: Cross the border, welcome to Canada!
Canadian: I’m tired of paying for everyone.
Trudeau: Racist!!
Max also said this today
Too funny!
Last week, the Bloc leader
@yfblanchet did not mind having a candidate who was until recently leader of the Communist Party.
After I’ve denounced it several times, he now wants him to repudiate his past, but the communist refuses!
There no one leader or party like Max and the PPC
It’s a breath of fresh air with no federal carbon tax.
I’m done with the LibCons you all know why so I won’t repeat it we need a complete about Face in October no more LibCons Merry-Go-Rounds
It’s time to get off the ride we never had a choice to get off until Max had the balls to say enough and quit and started the PPC.
God I hate autocorrect
There’s no option to turn it off
Probably screws with the program that documents all that you have typed whether you send it or not they our controllers have it all
Angel, you are the one who complains about people not talking about issues.
Yet you and Max refuse to answer the question I posed.
And you open with a condescending remark towards me.
Max won’t be PM.
Re the debates, I am mystified why Trudeau doesn’t want Max there. Max will spend all his time attacking Scheer. Next to that diatribe, Trudeau will come across as reasonable.
Joe I tried to answer you at 8:31 before your last post at 8:37
See below your 8:37 post
The post below this one
Written text does not have any tone or feelings in it so please Joe do not think I was trying to give you a condescending remark.
I need to stop living in the past as well and Indo bellwether can change things for the better I will never lose hope.
Never had an answer to the above question from Max. Why?
Joe if you want a direct answer ask your question to your riding PPC candidate and I’m sure you’ll get your answer but have patience but it will come.
Your an honest Joe Joe
Thanks for being real
I appreciate it
There is no rule of law, yet somehow, they still have the consent of the governed?
Look in the mirror. Stop blaming Trudeau.
You are following all the rules they make, which never apply to themselves. You expected a different outcome?
PM Feelgood is keeping Canada ‘clean’ while polluting some other hellish corner of the world.
PM Feelgood is happy to import mass quantities of Conflict Oil, ensuring worldwide death and destruction … funded by Canadian taxpayers and ratepayers. Careful Canada … you’re gonna lose your reputation as the happy-go-lucky “nice” country, when it is discovered how you are funding worldwide Muzlum Terrorism.
This policy is akin to Silicon Valley Eco-leftists driving electric cars to keep THEIR neighborhoods exhaust-Free … with no regard to the neighborhoods where the actual power is generated by “dirty” fossil fuels to charge their cars.
Or the shitholes like the Congo where the rare earth minerals are mined by children.
And China. https://e360.yale.edu/features/china-wrestles-with-the-toxic-aftermath-of-rare-earth-mining
It appears that this morning, Juthtin just sprinkled some more billions of your dollars all over the Quebec dairy industry. I think I would prefer a referendum on smashing the shit out of confederation, in October, while we are already at the polls. I know it is good old divider-in-chief, Juthtin’s plan to divide Canadians and conquer the electorate, but this country is just showing how ungovernable this country remains. I wonder if there is anyone left in Kaybec to receive their cheque from the Feds, before the election. They are cutting it close, what with their inefficient morons cutting those cheques. I wonder if Andy is going to protest.
There will be no further oil development until you deal with the Indian fake control of all of the land surface of Canada. The Only way you can do that is each Province goes UDI and ends all Ottawa thus Crown control thus Indian control of the land mass of Canada. By unelected judges and corrupt greasy politicians of every kind. There will never be anymore completed pipelines until the Indian Control is ended.
Canada is pooched anyway. President Trump is De-Globalizing the world economy and Canada will ever be ready

Most of Canadian Politics are focused on the distribution of the Crumbs… You are missing the fact that Canada has lost Sovereignty! …Canada did not surrender Sovereignty in WW1 or WWII, but some how lost the will to defend Canada by 2019… The Supreme Court of Canada is guilty, or not of “treason” when International LAW becomes part of any Canadian ruling…
FIX the broken legal system before fighting over the Crumbs….You are seriously broken
$5 Million to a War Criminal, determined by the concepts of International Law, is just the tip of the Corruption
You have one hell of a slap shot let me tell you.
Well said
Confederation is doomed.
Demographics.
The ability to vote to rob Peter to bribe Paul, has always been the fly in the soup of Democracy.
1/4 of us get paid from the public trough. less than 1/2 of us contribute to it and fewer will every year.
Numerical literacy continues to fall as public education “succeeds”.
Contributions are falling as taxpayers refuse to be punished for being productive.
60% of the 65% of eligible voters,who bothered to vote,voted for more,bigger government.
We still permit propagandists to hold up “Free Healthcare” as proof of government success.
Even as wait times grow,professional standards fall, death by medical blunders go up and costs ever explode and now Dr assisted death as medical option is standard… but healthcare is a “Success”.
As the “Climate Emergency” stubbles into farce,the bureaus tax air.
As the governments insatible lust for wealth continues to destroy production and private development country wide, voters demand ,so the media claims, more “services”.
We need a new country where within these boundaries we can say”These rules apply”.
That we might learn from the failure of Canada,where a large group has been able to exploit a smaller group for nearly a century.
Living large by voting for “leaders” who steal from one region to the benefit of another region,cause thats where the political power is…Is the definition of Canada.
Eventually the “smaller group” gets very resentful.
Including resentment of past injustices, the problem for continuation of Confederated Canada is trust.
I trust the East to vote to continue stealing, it works for them.
I do not trust them to vote for property rights,individual rights and responsibilities and a better future.
Their record is there for all to see,I refuse to invest any further in a joint effort that demeans my work.
All the collectivists have to do is gather up 40% of the popular vote from the assorted whining entitleists , taxpayer$ rent seekers, lazy idiots looking for a free ride and other suckers easily scared off by political hobgoblins, and convince them confiscate the hard earned dollars of the 60% of the population, unable to mobilize themselves into fighting them off.
DO I ACTUALLY HAVE TO SAY IT? OF COURSE I DON’T BECAUSE OVER 60% OF CANADIANS EMBODY IT.
“In 2018 alone, according to detailed information I recently requested from Statistics Canada, the value of crude oil imported into the country was nearly $20 billion. Considering that the oil business is one of the most job-rich parts of the economy, this amounts to exporting a lot of high-paying domestic jobs to foreign places.”
What an idiotic statement. This person’s views of trade and economics are over 200 years out of date. Jobs are never ‘shipped’. Why would I take seriously anything else this person has to say?
UnMe, I thought you were heading to Portland.
