Norway has just announced that every man, woman and child in Norway is a "Crown" millionare.
That works out around $160,000 USD for every single person in Norway.
And every penny of that money comes from oil and gas revenues.
Norway unlike Canada drills anywhere that could possibly be an oil or gas reserve.
As quickly as possible.
And they build piplines and tanker terminals completely at their convienence as pretty much all of Norways oil is drilled for export.
And their first nations (Sammi) do not seem to obstruct development nor infrastructure.
Nor does the general public tolerate the rantings of the green-weenies like Suzuki
It seems in Norway the lemmings, salmon, polar bears and whales have learned to live with the fleets of supertankers.
Canada's Development Agency (Dept of FA,T and D) and the Province of Alberta estimate that the net investment for pending O & G energy projects in Canada
is 3 Trillion dollars over the next 15 to 20 years.
3 Trillion dollars and that is just for what's on the todays books.
That is a lot of jobs.
That is a ton of tax base for the Fed's.
And that is a lot of transfer payments to the provices for schools, health care and the like.
One of the worst mistakes Canada made was not moving forward with the Mackenzie pipeline project decades ago.
A combination of green-weenies, first nations, huge development costs and alternative gas sources killed the project.
And now every single reserve, band and community along the proposed pipeline route rues the loss of the project.
An all weather road to Tuk, improved and expanded schools and clinics in all the communties along the route.
Infrastructure and support services would have allowed tourism and developing infrastructure ( and probably a port) to flow into the high arctic.
And of course, jobs, lots and lots of jobs.
The arctic communties missed that bus and that ship has long since sailed.
PM Harper has announced Inuvik to Tuk roadwork to commence at taxpayers expense.
As versus what would have been massive road and infrustructure construction that could have been on the oil company dime.
Every one you miss, you are one down.
Time to smell the crude.
