Canada's oil imports from Saudi Arabia on the rise
- Thread starter B00Mer

On that I would agree with you. But a lot of times I've brought up that there's more 'east' than just Ontario and Quebec, and I've had people say Atlantic Canada is included too. So sometimes it's a toss up by what people mean to "the east".
Maybe it should be changed to "Central" instead.
Which one of us ever said we hate Canada? None! We have a problem with the mindset of certain areas within Canada, as should you, these same people look at the East coast with pity and treat you as a charity case. Their solution to the high unemployment rate of the East coast was to provide funding to head West to find employment in the Oilpatch, the patch is struggling to gain traction what have they done to provide relief for the East Coast or the West? 10's-100's of thousands of unemployment in both regions. Industries are leaving western Canada, companies going bankrupt, etc. While providing bailouts for Bombardier, SNC-Lavalin, weakened the Canadian dollar intentionally to prop up manufacturing, defended the SA light armour deal, etc. to protect a couple thousand jobs in Southern Ont. and central Quebec.
Just sayin
Well "Central" it is, we should hold a vote with the rest of Canada and vote them out of the Dominion of Canada instead of leaving.
Cold? Oh it used to be cold here.
It'd only get to 25 in summer when I was a kid; anything higher than 28 was scorching. Now, it's regular 25+ and a lot of times 30+.
In winter, snowdrifts up to house rooftops. Now, they might get waist high, higher in wind swept places, but not as much as they used to.
It's only 'cold' here now because we don't get the temps we used to for the long period of time. It's only cold here now because we don't get the snow we used to that helped insulate things.
(But climate change isn't real
)The lack of jobs pises ALL of us off. I live in New Brunswick; I'm lucky to have the job I have, but because I don't have passable, suitable french, I'm stuck where I'm at until something better with less french is open for me to apply for.
And then there's the majority of people here who live minimum wage, and yet at least in my town, have to pay 6-700 a month for nothing included apartments that are decent. You want less rent a month, the suitability of the places goes way down. Hazard of a University town but it's not good when most of the jobs here are minimum.
One of my co-workers and best friends and I talk about the situations here all the time and you won't find many people who like how things are in Atlantic Canada. The worst part is provincial governments don't give a shit enough to do anything about it, and even if they could, we no longer have the populace base to do something.
We have 71,450 km2 (27,590 sq mi) of land, we have an Estimate of 776,827 for the third quarter of 2019, there are dozens of bigger cities in Canada than our total provincial population.
Yet we can't run our own goddamn province.
And we've got TWO Billionaires on the list of top Billionaires in Canada, rank 5 and 13 (of course, Iriving brothers).
And BTW - fuk Irving using any other oil BUT Canadian. Especially Saudi.
So all of that, and then the bottom of the list for income?
The way I see it, it's not just the West that's being screwed over, and not just by the Federal Government.
I don't see NB ever becoming a province that'll be anything more than "have not". Unless our people move elsewhere to make bigger money, then come back here to retire.
I guess I'm just saying yeah, I agree with the West on their thoughts to things, but saying leaving Canada is the only solution just... no.
Oh There's been bailouts provided for NB based companies here too.
And they STILL go under, a lot of times within a year.
Hell, few years back there was all this hype for an egg plant in town; new building in our industrial park, jobs, everything.
And then it closed within a year, moved to NS, just 15 minutes away, because they got a better deal there.
As for who said they hated Canada, well it sounds like some have that issue. I'd have to go back to find the posts if you honestly want me to.
I'd be more for taking the power away - as in all the votes - and seeding more out to other areas.
Move the capitol from Ottawa to somewhere else... maybe Manitoba; get it out of Ontario.
Something; but voting Ontario and Quebec out of Canada still destroys it which to me is not an option.
Alert.
One can only presume that only truly dedicated public servants (and raging psychopaths) would stand for office or take bureaucracy jobs.
Go right ahead, nobody meant it as Canada as a whole just meaning the small area within Central Canada that think they are Canada. The threat has to be real to leave Canada to get more of a voice within Canada see Quebec they laid out the blue print. Like I said in another post we have to be united like the pipefitter's union specifically welders to band together to bring a job (Central Canada) to a halt to have our demands met, it's called a wobble btw.
But I would like him to admit it . His condescending attitude is bad enough , but as an internet lawyer he should be able to defend the indefensible, don’t you think .
Snowing and blowing , yikes .Cold? Oh it used to be cold here.

POOR STUPID hemerHOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He asks WHY we are not buying more Alberta oil..................................
because - after all it IS CHEAPER than oil from FOREIGN SOURCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IDIOT hemerHOID IGNORES the LIE-beral HATRED OF YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HemerHOID DOES NOT WISH TO DISCUSS just how much LIE-beral political BIGOTRY is influencing the Cdn oil market!!!!!!!!!!!!
HemerHOID is simply spewing his absurd poison as usual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry wrong response . That right there is another problem with confederation . The Maritimes are presently a small land mass with a sparse population . At the time of confederation all of the Maritime Provinces were going concerns with the population and economies that allowed them some clout with there big brothers in Ontario and Quebec . Since Confederation what has happened economically and politically in your provinces ? Who’s policies are to blame ?
That is supposed to be our chamber of sober second thought that has unequal representation across the provinces and whose members are hand picked by the Prime Minister .
Not exactly sure, but I'm positive smart people like you could figure it out, something should be done so elections aren't called by the time the votes are counted in the 905 area code.
It is still based on the democracy of the popular vote, a formula should be able to balance the scale between densely populated areas to less populated areas.
