Yes,I read it,maybe you better read it a little more closely.
How about a rig count for Ontario?

Respectfully speaking - those that are missing those 'parts', generally aren't the ones that start global conflicts.
.... Just my humble opinion, of course, but then again, you're more than welcome to join me down here in the mud pit.
Nobody really cares if your dick is bigger than anybody else's, at least that is what your crowing sounds like, even here in BC.
So in other words you cant pony up,ok.
It was a simple question,dont delve into the patch if you have no clue about it bud,your as bad as flossy and the rest of them that are jelous of Albertas prosperity,so sad considering its making Canada a good place to live and giving peeps jobs they cant get in their own provinces,,,,so ya,my dick must be bigger,same as all the rest that came here and did good.

Oh, I know what it says. Oil's not new in Ontario. Oil doesn't last forever either. Maybe there's some wisdom in not making pigs of yourselves. You'll boom then bust too.
You say you're in the know and you don't seem to realize where the first oil was pumped - 150+ years ago
So, what's the answer then?
Full stop on production until a greenie-approved technology comes into play and in the meantime, we live like Neanderthals with clubs and loin cloths?
What exactly is it that you want? A stop to oil, or the internet-lifestyle that you demand?
Speculate and play guessing games all you want. Try reading the black parts.
.. And, your point is?
Ontario had the first oil find in Canada and summarily dismissed it for the vast fortunes of the mfg sector.... Where are ya now?
Fine, answer the question then.. What, exactly is it that you want?
Who said it was dismissed? The easy stuff is about gone.
I don't want anything. You're making your own nonsense. Been too long downwind of the sour gas ... or the real Captain Morgan?
Great then, here is an active industry there - what was you point to begin with?
Interesting comment, I was thinking the exact same thing about what you posted.
I could be wrong but I know one of Albertas first oil discoveries was in Waterton national park,the natives were trading it then,long before Ontario was around.

1857 - First oil production at Oil Springs, Ontario - from a shallow pit.........dug, not drilled.
Oil previously found in Alta, as per the original link
Can't find anything about natives trading in oil, but they probably did.

Mulcair defends stance on resource development, manufacturing sector
Federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair said Friday in Saskatoon that his “quarrel is not with” Brad Wall or any other premier. It is strictly with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Wall and other western premiers have recently been highly critical of Mulcair’s position regarding the effect of resource development on the country’s manufacturing sector. Mulcair has previously stated the premiers are messengers of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, but he wouldn’t reiterate that sentiment on Friday before reporters at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities convention.
“What I’ve said since the beginning is I didn’t want to deal with anybody else but Stephen Harper,” Mulcair said. “I’ll work with all the provinces to the extent possible. If they want to turn this into a provincial-federal fight with me, I’ll set the record straight every time saying I’m not looking in any way to have the debate with them. I want to work with them. My debate is with Stephen Harper.”
The federal official opposition leader also rejected descriptions of his position as pitting the eastern part of the country against the west, saying that is “how some of my political adversaries are trying to portray it.
“Some people were trying to change the message, setting up an east-west straw man, saying that’s what it was about,” he said. “But that’s not the case. Since the beginning, this has been about sustainable development. Some people have tried to turn that into, ‘Oh, they’re attacking us personally.’
“Having seen that sort of exercise before in my home province, I’m immune to it. I’ll keep talking over it and I’ll keep setting the record straight, as I’m doing now, and make it very clear that we want an energy future that is sustainable, we want an economic future that’s sustainable. The type of mistakes we’re making now at the federal level are having an undesired effect both economically and ecologically, and that’s what we’re talking about.”
Mulcair said he felt welcome in Saskatchewan despite vocal criticisms from the province’s premier.
“I’ve been to Saskatchewan many, many times and Saskatoon is one of my favourite cities in Canada,” he said. “I love this place and I’m going to keep coming back. You’d be very hard pressed to find anything that I’ve ever said that attacked the premier of this province or any other.
“I want to work with all provinces, irrespective of what party is in power, to ensure that across Canada, we leave to future generations something that is perennial, especially a green-energy infrastructure.”
