…Canadian governments, recognizing the importance of oil production to Canadians’ well-being, have misguidedly sought to obtain “social licence” for Canadian oil companies with stringent targets for greenhouse gas reduction and profit-eroding carbon taxes. Many of the major oil companies have meekly applauded these measures, implicitly apologizing for the sin of making profits by providing us with affordable, abundant and reliable energy.
You know the rest.
Geez, we’re in for some trouble here…..esp. taking into account how stupid the average Canadian voter is. Think Venezuela can’t happen here? Think again.
the level of stupidity has been rising exponentially. we can and must likely will suffer a sever recession at the very least. every level of government is trying their damnedest to crush our economy and the people. there is nothing good about what is being done.
It is something that companies, associations, and groups representing resource sectors never get – you make your first mistake when you agree to sit down and “dialogue” with these bastards. From then on it can result in nothing but a slow steady retreat to total capitulation/elimination.
If you want an example of servility, check out the press releases on the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producer’s website.

The Oil Companies NEED the help of Environmentalist’s to “increase” the price of Oil…Each
watermelon is actually an agent of Big OIL….Big Oil love high profits.. The total TAX expectation is never the actual coin collected….The whole bunch of whore’s are in reality measured in the Aggregate.
The idea that Big oil is consumer friendly is insane!
Where is Hpward Roark now that we need him?
The average HS graduate is SO thoroughly disconnected from the actual materials and mechanisms that power our society … as to have become dangerous to our future. THE primary reason FOR mandatory public education is to have a knowledgeable population capable of grasping the essential elements of our society. But the public education system has FAILed to provide the essential knowledge and understanding of where the ACTUAL power comes from that recharges their “smart” phones and heats their homes. The dumbing-down of our society has swelled the ranks of leftist political parties. The public education system has given the left a critical mass of voting power. I agree with Capt. Capitalism … “enjoy the decline” … because the left will continue to have the votes necessary to “tear it all down, maaaan” for the foreseeable future. Until … they actually succeed in tearing it all down … then the people will (hopefully) wake up and realize they are cannibalizing the very lifestyles for which they enjoy. Eventually … hopefully.
Gang Green is contageous?
Appeasing Nutters as with accomadating the stupid and useless, never ends well for those who pay the bills.
Environ-Mentalism is the madness of crowds and popular delusion writ large.
Right now our “leaders” are identifying themselves as our enemies, whether due to incompetence or malice matters not.
When government is the source of mass hysteria and willful breaking of our laws, civilization is under attack.
When the citizens surrender to propaganda ,hysteria and theft, civilization is no more.
When the damage becomes apparent,hopefully we will give all these useless parasites,what they claim the want, the Carbon Free Lifestyle.
Hard to imagine a carbon based lifeform, condemning carbon as a poison…thankfully Suicidal Insanity is self correcting.
Government at the pleasure of radicals. Sure, make sense
Taxation and obtuse regulation strangling economy, so subjective social license nonsense?
Keep on taxing statist supermen. Maybe if their bold plans ended with a personal cheque, they would be less reckless with ours.
Give them a Social License, and next thing you know they will also want Social Credit.
A carbon-free diet will solve their problems in a few weeks.
Over the last 50000 years we have developed social leadership from clan leaders, through tribal chiefs, kings, etc, to our modern forms of governance. To them we have delegated, with the consent of us the governed, the coordination and where necessary the regulation of our society. Why should we allow our government to delegate “social license” to ignorant activists with foreign direction and an agenda. It is up to us to challenge our representatives to do their jobs and not allow them to weasel out. Its what we pay them for.
