Market is not marketing although we will still do the latter until the former croaks.

And the way Shell and Exxon are jumping ship it's going to be a pretty swift demise.

This is why flossy is a low level employee and will never move past that point.... He lacks any vision, absolutely no knowledge of worth (and no interest in gaining it) and wastes all his time fantasizing about a utopian world that he isn't willing to work towards.

I have no issues with immigrants coming to Canada, I just have an issue with the immigrants from Muslim from countries that have active terrorist cells.

Vancouver is the greatest city in North America because of it's immigration, but the majority are from Hong Kong and India, ex-British Colonial Countries, they aren't trying to kill us.

I still can't figure out how immigration let you slip by MegaButtHurtz..

Yep, it ain't working out to well for Rust Belt North.

Say, didn't Caterpillar move a few thousands jobs South not too long ago?

That's what you do once all the heavy landscaping is done. That will be the next area to get industrial roads. We should be growing the hemp that you need pad the soft ground that you find in the wet belt that circles the globe.
Growing a 16-20 ft variety of hemp and weaving it into mats is a brand new industry and once it starts to be used the current method of using a petroleum based material will crash.

Oil has been overpriced since DuPont got involved.
The sand left over in the tar sands is a useful product as it is an excellent product to use in grinding wheels and sanding paper. Syn-crude is trying to rebury the clean sand rather than trying to find a market for it. Being ragged rather than smooth it could also be used as porous filter material.

Of course not.

Harper already agreed to a carbon free industry himself.

That means we were not going to have to pay for any carbon products ourselves because exports would generate enough money to allow us to burn fuel for free. BUt lefties are against good government so now we will have to pay through the nose for our own products. If anyone is allowed to have a job in something so untrendy as resource extraction.

That is still more money because we are an exporter rather than importer.

We have no ability to grow unless oil sells for at least $100/barrel.

That's how we know Harper screwed us.
