Maybe a good thing? I wonder how much it would cost to rebuild the Mac if oil was cruising at $130.

But I said "and I quote"....... don't you trust me?

No, that's the point, they don't have the natural resources so they had to come up with another plan.

We were lucky enough here to have the natural resources to get us off the ground, but we have to realize that they are limited and not going to last forever. I think the writing is on the wall that the best of times for the oil and gas industry are behind us, and that we will miss the opportunity provided by that head start from these natural resources, if we think that we can just keep doing the same old thing indefinitely.

Yep, from a welder's perspective it likely is a little slower as they're not going ahead with all the big construction projects they had planned. But the existing oil sands projects are all running. Too expensive to have them just sitting.

When we have a "leader" shooting his mouth off about phasing out the oil sands I can only imagine what I as an investor would be thinking when it comes to putting any money into expansion in oil sands projects.

Haha if oil was at $130 it would be rebuilt already under the guise of an "economic stimulus package" or something like that, but the fact of the matter is that oil is not at $130 and people are still going to need to do something to feed themselves and their families.

No it’s not a trust issue, just trying to control the burn.

Yeah, it's definitely tough, and I don't mean to be all pessimistic, but it's things like that; JT saying he wants to phase it out, coupled with the fact that there aren't any big expansion projects going on that make me think the golden days for the oil industry are behind us. I know those two topics can fall in the "chicken or the egg" paradox but I digress.

All that is left to do is for us to decide what we are going to do with the opportunities that these industries set us up with.

But I am signing off now guys, the weekend is here! It's been a pretty good debate.

We both know you're right, but this is a family friendly message board

It's always better when people investigate for themselves, like teaching a man to fish rather than just giving him one.

This is probably the first time I've seen Trudeau make a little sense.
You can see that he knows he needs Alberta's oil industry. The whole comment of phasing out the oil sands was to shut the steeple up asking those questions.
What made the most sense was the reasons for defending the pipelines. He is absolutely correct that rail is more dangerous, expensive and more polluting than running pipelines.
And I liked when he said northern bands were disappointed about the northern gateway pipeline because they were looking for big cash settlements which is also true.
I work in the oil sands and am in big favour of pipelines to get our product safely and efficiently to market. And if Trudeau has to make false promises too appease the environmental activists I can bite my lip for a bit. I think opening the Keystone XL will be the next step.
There are many things I disagree which in how he is running the country and I do not like his rampant spending. But if you watch the video again I don't think he will be phasing out the oil sands rather just validating pipelines.
Thanks for reading.

I just stopped at the local gas station for a cup of coffee. Everybody in there was saying the same thing! He should have stayed on that island vacation forever.

This is my take.

Why get on board with pipelines to transport a product he plans to shut down.

Sometimes you have the give the squeeky wheel a little grease. Even if it isn't true. I couldn't handle listening to all the activists straight time. Need something to keep me quiet.

Same reason why other's did.

We were all tired of the arrogant elitist attitude of the PC's

But like I said.

Of the how many people on this forum,
60,000??
no one else will admit that they voted wrong.

But unlike those that can't admit their faults,
I will ensure myself and others, make the proper votes in 2019.

Illogical would have me saying

No it's ok we need to do this.

Instead of tackling those who want to blame everyone else for this country's current situation.

It's everyon'e fault.

Not just the uneducated voters.

Maybe if the PC's had done the right thing prior to 2015 this wouldn't have happened.

How's that for logic?

That's pretty insulting, I'm pretty sure it also against forum rules. It's not my fault you base your life on pizz poor decisions, don't be resulting to name calling because you're a fool.

[ETOWNCANUCK]

Well this was fun

As always

See you guys in the next one.

Just for the record - I didn't vote for him!

Trudeau got wisdom from Jane. Talk is over here.

Wait a minute....

And I don't troll so much as keep some of you guys in check.

In your last 200 posts, you commented once in a thread on "what type of watch do you wear outdoors?"

Would have saved us a lot of grief

[purgatory.sv]

To be fair this has nothing to do with the topic, go back further he was also looking for feedback on camping equipment. It is the general section and sometimes outdoor related threads do happen.
