If Mulcair wants it, he'll push for special discounted rates for PQ. This will piss off US pipeline customers who'll up there orders ensuring it never makes it to PQ.
Mulcair supports East / West pipeline

- Start date
The easterners will try to do whatever they can to get western oil money to go east. They will try to do this by imposing a carbon tax or by trying to regulate the price of oil easterners pay for western oil.
We in the west should never allow ourselves to be put in a position where the easterners can dictate our options in marketing our oil. That's why it's so important to now get the Northern Gateway pipeline built and the XL Keystone line built. Then if the easterners start to push us around as far as price goes, we will always have options as to where we can sell our oil.
When you sell a (crown) company (Petro Can) to other depts of your company (Govt), you still own it.
Yep, the people of Canada (Gov) owned Petro Canada. The Gov then sold it again to Canadians by selling Canadians Petro Canada shares.
Then it couldn't make sh^t so it got sold to a public company at a greatly reduced price.
Leave it to the Libs to screw things up royally !!
No, the Gov does not own any part of Suncor..
You can own Suncor as a private citizen thru stocks or mutual funds.
How much are you willing to wager?
Of course anyone, even several Govt funds AND Crowns can invest in any public company.
I'm not sure what is worse: Canadian jobs for Canadian people, or hearing people like you gripe over "having to support" all the unemployed Canadians with YOUR tax dollars.
SUNCOR ENERGY INC NEW COM Common Stock 867224107 $ 25,097,000 763,961 Sole N/A 763,961
Just 736,961 share worth $25Million in the CPP fund but we don't own any?
Should I see what CDIC, EI and WEDC has for shares?
Are off you fvcking rocker? It's 20 after 10 and you're already sucking the glass d*ck?
No reason Canadians should be unemployed today. We immigrate over 250,000 people a year to do jobs lazy Canadians don't want to do!!
Why should the government create jobs for Canadians if they don't want to fill them?
No.... We "immigrate" over 250,000 people a year so they can go into Durry Donuts and grope jailbait so you'll have something more to gripe about. Get with the program. After all... they ARE your tax dollars
I don't own a very bright ... and I know if you are being lazy in saying "you are" you'd be bright enough to know it's spelled "YOU'RE" oh wise western hero....
You don't know much about how this works eh, lol.
We'll just come take it by force, lol.
No one is forcing anyone, Suncor and Enbridge are planning to do it on their own.
LOL, the irony is palpable.
At some point, it will make sense to spend money (a lot) on the infrastructure to run nat gas to all the urban centers in Eastern Canada. In terms of an energy source, it will produce all of the heat and electricity you will need to run the economy... In terms of the amount of nat gas in the ground, it is found in many places in Canada to the tune of trillions of MMcf and is dirt cheap at this point.
I gotta agree with you there... Economic nationalism is myopic and very costly... One of the big reasons that gas isn't cheaper in Eastern Canada is because it is being shipped to the US where the p/ls exist, refined into gasoline (aviation fuel, diesel, etc) and then shipped back North across the border to consumers in Canada.
The smart 'nationalist' move would be to expand Canada's infrastructure and value-add facilities and sell to the international markets.. Capacity would obviously include supply of product to accommodate the domestic market, but the focus in terms of GDP and overall good for the nation will be to service markets outside of Canada
Well said! We should not be selling raw materials such as crude or logs to other nations. That is exporting Canadian jobs. We should be adding value to our resources, refining all of our crude in this country and proving finished wood products for export.
