Bi-Curious Boy George is jealous that he is stuck in Ontario. Being from Regina he feels he will lose what he believes is "his share".

For certain sure. I've always said that if you want America to be a paradise, put the Marines in charge of housing, the Navy in charge of health care, the Air Force in charge of education, and the Army in charge of infrastructure. No project would ever want for funding again.

Left unsaid is the money spent on those groups is a large part to why the US is $25T in debt to a foreign entity who created all the wars for the last 300 years. People seem bound and determined to not have that part deemed to be 'somewhat important to the overall story line'

The really funny part about all this is that such a large portion of Albertans aren’t born and raised here. They’ve come here from other countries and other parts of Canada. What we really have is a bunch of immigrants coming here and trying to change things because they don’t like it



Sound familiar?

While getting gas today there was a vehicle parked also partaking. Someone else at the pumps asked where they were from. "Alberta," they said.

"Oh, so you're moving here?"


"Actually we're moving back, we used to live here. Long drive."


Which got me thinking... if Alberta is so wonderful, why do so many who leave the poor ass Maritimes to go out there to work, come back here to live?



It doesn't make sense to me. Sure it's more expensive to live out there but the jobs are better, things are wonderful (according to some westerners I hear) so... why move back here?


Just a curiosity really.

Oilpatch is pretty much dead in Alta., all the work is in BC right now hooking up the lines for the Liquefied gas plants.

Did you think drilling and laying pipe was going to take forever? The part you should be concerned about is the price is still going up rather than down when less money is needed to get the product to the customers. The costs will be 'Admin fees' that match what the banks do with their 'Admin fees' always upwards and never down.

$500 to click on a button on a computer screen is 'a service call'.

Once the point of no return is in place on the LNG plants, AB (the gvt that is) will have the upper hand.

NG (rather than propane)will be the replacement fuel for the next 200 years. Just what do you see as 'the point of no return' ? That point was passed for Canada when the lines went into the US rather than east so they were getting Canadian products rather than US product that originated in Canada.

Nope, we broke our alliance in 1814, and never were loyalists.
You're as pig-ignorant of history as you are of everything else.

That flew over your head didn't it.. besides you're just windbag, empty-headed troll.

Talk about whiney ass bitches over taxes, tossing all that tea into the Boston Harbour, a very disloyal and unreliable bunch to the Queen.

Problem is, it's full of whiny Albertans who, if the deal went through, would have proven themselves to be disloyal and unreliable, always looking for a "better deal." Who needs that?

Point of no return in terms of the construction of the actual LNG plant and pipeline.


No way that this project stands alone based on the nat gas in the NE BC Duvernay and Montney. The nat gas in AB and Sask is the basis for the viability of this project
