  1. THIS GUY WINS!!
    He beat Neil young at his own song!!
    I wish I could play drums or harmonica I would hook up with him and make an actual video for the song.

  2. CBC is short stroking this like they always will, but why aren’t the reporting on what exactly Neil is complaining about in his hissy fit?
    He says the treaties are not being honoured.
    That seems to be the main theme, after all it’s in the name.
    So what isn’t being honoured?
    Isn’t that an obvious question and subject for the lying A-holes at the CBC to ask or explore?
    Why the absolute silence on such an obvious subject, the main subject of the protest and story?
    They either have read the treaties and have come to the only possible conclusion, the treaties are being honoured, so they carefully ignore that question, or they haven’t a clue, and as usual are just parroting the stupid echo chamber talking points.
    They are supposedly journalists for F****s sakes, why are we giving them a billion bucks a year for this absolute garbage?

  3. Well, the Bakken may well put the oil sands out of business.
    I suspect but don’t know that that has taken the lustre out of the oil sands, and out of the Canadian dollar.
    Of course the federal government’s feeble response to the econazi threats is also deleterious to Canada’s
    economic position.

  4. Bakken reserves are not that large, oil sands are second only to Saudi
    I was on a plane back a fee years ago ,sat by an Aramco engineer , they use horizontal multistage fracing as well. He told me “everyone” knows our reserves are over estimated by 40%

  5. Cal2;
    Which reserves are you saying are overestimated by 40%? Bakken or the oil sands?
    I have read that the Bakken formation is now producing almost 1 million bpd between USA and Canada. I understand that production in these formations draw down quickly.
    I am still comfortable thinking that the oil sands resource will be developed no matter what the ecos do. No matter how much forces within OPEC, Russia and the USA conspire to prevent it. It is only a matter of time before the Arabs self emulate with another war. Canadian oil production will look very good at that time. Canada should be totally focused on the ability to ship oil from the West coast. China is the most logical buyer. Hopefully their will be a POTUS in the future who will appreciate Canada as an ally.

  6. It certainly appears to be pretty universal now that the common folk, worldwide, are getting PO’d being told how bad they are and how to live and atone, by a wealthy jet-setting elite.

  7. CT “Which reserves are you saying are overestimated by 40%? Bakken or the oil sands?”
    An Aramco engineer? Saudi Arabian Oil Company?

  8. saudi oil reserves are overestimated by 40%
    since they are not a public company they are not subject to rules like oil companies. they do their own reserves internally , no audit ,
    The best of the Bakken is already gone. its not like the old days were one might find a great pool out in the middle of nowhere , the modern NA reserves are well documented, the Bakken has been seen on logs since the 1950s , wasnt until horizontal multistage fracing came in that we could release them , they are easily identifiable now , just a matter of affording them,
    also oilsands are identified. the reserves are all cored and accurately predicted.
    an interesting side to this, years ago I saw a saudi log that was probably 200meter of 25% porosity pay , I heard the well flowed at 100,000 bbls per day , now Saudi is PackersPlus biggest customer meaning they are way out of the 25% porosity rock , more down to 6%
    also , Ive heard they have watered out wells everywhere. remember this place doesnt release much information other than the amount of oil coming out of the port.
    and just for the record, I have more oil experience in my little finger than neil young and yet a smaller carbon footprint.

  9. I asked the question of the Aramco engineer when Libya went off line a few years ago, I was asking if Saudi could pick up the difference like they used to be able to 20 years back, they would just take the chokes off till a crisis was over . now there is no extra productivity left . oilsands plants come in about 100000 bbl/day increment and have a 5 to 10 year lead.
    waiting for the day when the straits of Hormuz fail and there is a crisis and an executive order goes out for 20 oil sands plants and 4 pipelines like the one in the korean war where a pipeline to the Anaconda smelter got approved in a week and built in 6 months. in the days when a war measure was more than shoveling snow in trona or rounding up a bunch of leftest froggie dissidents.

  10. Hey this guy’s music is every bit as intelligent and accomplished as Ezra Levant – or you, ‘Lance’.
    Aw, the poor guys might lose their jobs at an environmental atrocity poisoning the earth for generations to come! Darn!
