Them too. You have to excuse the reductionism used by fluffers like Flossy. Big pictures, like honesty, are foreign to them.
Sounds right. Fort something anyway. KMC mining is in there stripping overburden.
It actually started before that, but even if we'd just stayed with NAFTA it probably would have still been just as painful, because other Western Powers were also signing the contract in blood.
When I was a kid oil was six dollars a barrel and it was stable.
Now its a measure of sixty dollar just to get it out of the ground
The real problem is open trade. had we developed our own
oil fields as government for our own use things might be
different now Alberta has to diversify their economy instead they
tear at their hair blame others and whine its time to make a new
path. To be clear many Albertan s do understand and they are not
whining but too many are at the moment

nooooope. AB will soon have a surge in agribiz thwnks to TPP and volume of oil sales are only climbing. Steady as she goes.
The futures contracts are already showing $40 oil for this year.
When I was a kid, you used to be able to get a big bag of fresh peaches, apples and cherries for $2.00... Now because of the intense greed of the BC fruit farmers, that same bag costs about $60 dollars.
I blame NAFTA
Here in Canada, we get the double benefit of not only being able to blame Trudeau junior, but his old man as well.... It provides a wonderful opportunity to obscure the issue (or non-issue as the case may be) even further.
... But, as you state, it is only fair to include BHO on the NAFTA fiasco ~ after all, those damn Kenyan Muslims are behind most conspiracies
I've got a better question. Can you name a car sold in Canada that is not technically an import? That is to say, an automobile manufacturer whose HQ is actually based in Canada.
Manufacturing in BC - Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters
Manufacturing is a significant contributor to BC’s economy. Manufacturing is BC’s third largest source of employment, directly providing about 180,000 jobs and indirectly supporting hundreds of thousands of indirect jobs. For every $1 dollar generated by a manufacturer another $3.50 in economic activity results in local BC communities.
More than 30% of all business taxes flowing to government come from manufacturing.
In 2012, the sector was the fourth largest contributor to provincial GDP at 7.2%. Contrary to popular belief, manufacturing is the primary source of exports from BC, NOT natural resources, comprising almost 65% of shipments.
What are they making? Crystal meth?
