Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Holy hell, woman. When you send someone traffic, you send someone TRAFFIC.My hosting provider thought I was being DDoSed. - Sean McCormick
"The New York Times link to me yesterday [...] generated one-fifth of the traffic I normally get from a link from Small Dead Animals." - Kathy Shaidle

Well of course the zombie horde has no concept of how to replace the prosperity provided by the energy resource they want to collapse – it isn’t about logic, civility or empathy – it’s about greenie tantrum taking diaper wetters getting their way and their uber-class oligarch bosses getting richer at the expense of average Canadians.
So if the Liberals get in again, it’s obvious that this “province” isn’t paying it’s fair share of equalization payments. Alberta is, and Saskatchewan is, but the oilsands are too big to be taxed only once (thrice, five times, etc).
If it moves, tax it. If it still moves, regulate it. Repeat as necessary. When it stops moving, subsidize it.
So Drudge has a link to a story on “Methane Seeps” in the Atlantic. I had my suspicions the article would find a way to interject “climate change” into a large portion of the article and of course I was right. The left is relentless – flooding the zone at every opportunity. As Kate said the other day (“Never apologize, never back down, never explain”) – we need to be too.
It is amazing how the thinking goes. The Methane Seeps in the Gulf of Mexico, which has been happening for ?? is accompanied by appropriate bacteria. It is this longstanding natural bacterial action which quickly cleared up the Gulf oil spill from the drilling rig explosion.
Very little of the Billions of $ spent cleaned up the oil. The bacteria already there did the job. All that was accomplished by the excessive spillover of Tax Payer $ was to establish a new scam opportunity and to line the pockets of the legal un-professional. Cheers;
Funny how money talks.
Seems the people providing funding to our fake activists, are heavily invested in oil plays in direct competition to Canada’s oil.
Just as the picket lines and blockades vanished when MacMillan Blodel was sold to their USA competitor,to BC’s economic detriment, I expect once the Oil Sands are acquired at a discount by their forging competitors this funding will vanish.
Economic treason as I see it.
That we give charitable status to money laundering schemes, which actively fund our useful idiots and scammers.. leaves me extremely dubious of the intelligence of our own kleptocrats.
the shiney pony already said in a speech last week that Alberta has to share the wealth.
that bacteria has been there for at least 200 million years , probably moved in there around the beginning of the juassic when the gulf of mexico was first opening up . there is more than 20000 ft of cretaceous section out there. and Jurassic below that
Well, hello shiny pony, they’re already sharing, they’re the lifeblood of Equalization, without them his confreres in his province of Quebec might have to work harder, ditto Ontario and Atlantic Canada who love the Liberal/Left and have been known to complain about the oil sands.
the bacteria have been there since Jurassic times , about 200 million years.
the gulf has been leaking since that time.
also there is 20000 ft of cretaceous sediment before you get to the Jurassic , one huge amount of hydrocarbons , its a sub ducting system with huge faults and leak points everywhere.
Short term, landlocked Oilsands make Canadian economy very vulnerable to oil price fluctuations. Only a pipe from sea to sea to sea can mitigate the situation.
These dupes do not realize that Syncrude/Suncor are cleaning up Mother Natures’ worst oil spill in history. Effin useless idots.
Dear Kate:
Two things you may want to consider here:
1 – the Canadian action party is a front for the communist party of Canada. Are you sure you want to publish something suggesting a google search that leads directly to them?
2 – the more foundational problem with the real action canada plan here is that the people who consider economic development and jobs important are already on side. The opposition, occupiers and billionaires like Steyer, don’t value either one: the majority have no jobs, live off their parents or the state, and disdain any need to earn a living – the minority has billions and is totally disconnected from the reality of jobs and the need for economic opportunity.
3 – if you want to do something useful, talk to the people who made this ad, and tell them that preaching to the converted creates no converts.
But, but, but. If we develop the resources, wouldn’t that lead to. . . resource depletion?
Anyone who is actually concerned about GreenHouseGasses should not buy anything from China or America. China produces 30% of the world’s GHGs, and America produces 15%, Canada produces 2%, the oilsands operations contributes only 0.15% of the world’s GHGs. Any big city dumps more pollution and creates more wasteland than the oilsands mining and processing.

I don’t see any reference to the Communist party, but CAP WAS founded by Paul Hellyer,and Connie Fogal (Harry Rankin’s widow) was once President of the Party.
Fogal was born in Saskatchewan,according to Wikipedia,in the metropolis of Lafleche.
Not the CAP. There’s no sign of the lunatic Hellyer or assorted other loonies of the Canadian nationalist left, like Mel Hurtig and Maude Barlowe.
A quick perusal of their website shows that.
Since it is Alberta’s wealth it is up to them to decide if they want to share, not the shiny meathead with hair.
Trudeau will try to Nationalize the oil industry just like his Papa. He wants those dollars for himself in Eastern Canada ,besides it being Marxist ideology of State control that has never worked.
They don’t really object because of fake global warming, its an excuse for looting.They just use the useful idiots to break down provincial economies for control. This time though the East is in for a big surprise.
We have been planning its since 85 when his dear Daddy raped Alberta.
If this nut gets in there will be a divorce. Not the phony Quebec kind either.
We don’t have a Reagan who interfered with Daddy’s big plan that almost bankrupted Canada. We will not live in Venezuela
I could not agree more with the above, I have zero doubt that if this part time drama teacher who believes that budgets can balance themselves gets elected that this country as we know it is doomed. There is no doubt that he will be looking to the west as Ottawas cash cow and this is something that the Western Provinces will not accept. Therefore we will probably see a situation whereby the West will be in favor of separation and Quebec will be advocating the exact opposite because someone has to pay to support their lifestyle. In the meantime this bumbling idiot will make a laughing stock of this country in the eyes of the rest of the world. Contrary to Canadas bought and paid for media his daddy was considered a useless self important jerk by nearly all other World Leaders other than Castro and a few other Communist/Socialist dictators.
Slight problem for the oil industry coming up. A disruptive technology maybe? A company called Blacklight Power has developed a unit called a “SunCell” which converts hydrogen to electricity. If it operates as advertised there will be changes for everyone on earth.
A company called Blacklight Power has developed a unit called a “SunCell” which converts hydrogen to electricity.
That’s hilarious, are they located in Nigeria? To make hydrogen one has to waste electricity, and converting H2 back to electricity is even more wasteful.
Except in applications like space, it’s always more efficient to use the electricity directly than store it as hydrogen. Even storing electricity in lead-acid batteries is more efficient and less wasteful than hydrogen.
