Prentice actually accepts that climate change exists.

You know, that wacky theory about the human kind.

And he's a Conservative.


Whoops.

You need to work harder. Per capita GDP has you $20K behind a SK resident and $30K behind an AB resident.

Saskatchewan is by far and away the biggest success story in NorAm and Europe.

You guys had the balls, wherewithall and commitment to develop your economy (not even to potential yet) and in record time.

If more Provinces took a page out the Sask playbook, Canada would be a juggernaut on the world stage.

Bipartisan effort to boot.

They had two advantages, all their NIMBYs and NOPEs came to BC when the socialist government got the boot.

That's funny.

You guys seem to have a problem accepting the Alberta premier as an ecoterrorist.

It's okay.

So does Harper.

AB already has carbon sequestration plan/project and was the first to implement a form of carbon tax... You greentards just don't like to admit it.

Talk about whoops

So Prentice is a greentard too then.

Good to know.

I tell ya taxslave.. If and when BC gets their collective butts into gear, your province has the real potential to dominate on any scale.

Multiple, protected deep water ports. Massive forestry opportunity, liquids rich nat gas, fisheries and mining.

At some point, the public will holler 'Uncle' in response to never ending tax grabs and maybe then a political movement that allows for responsible development can occur.

BC is a great province, I really love it a ton, but I have no idea how you put up with the shenanigans that goes on in gvt

So Prentice is a greentard too then.

Good to know.

Sheesh... Look into the timing on those projects and events... You might want to cross reference that against the Premier that initiate the actions.

It's okay. I'll sequester 100% of mentalflaws CO2 for him if he pays me directly. What should I charge? 1.05 tonnes per acre per year. How many tonnes does he produce per year?

And he has the audacity to say I don't do anything worthwhile.

Flossy are you willing to pay me to sequester your 12.5t CO2 contributions at the same time as I'm putting food and beer in your belly?

That will only count if it results in extreme hardship for you.

Profiting from it totally undermines the greentard movement

He can come and plop his *** in my tractor seat and learn how to burn 6L of fuel per minute and still offset his carbon just as a feel good experience.

Clearly the status quo is not enough and Prentice recognized that.

Mr. Prentice is right when he says that, unless Alberta can get its oil-sands bitumen to the Pacific Ocean, it will not be able to sustain its current growth.

But Mr. Prentice also knows that an unrepentantly carbon-emitting Alberta will have a hard time convincing British Columbians and native communities to support a western pipeline. That’s why he spoke passionately about making Alberta an “environmental leader.” If he’s serious, he has a few options. He could turn Alberta’s levy on smokestack emitters into a general carbon tax similar to the one British Columbia has implemented. He could announce more investment into carbon-capture technologies. And he could demonstrate a genuine concern for the impact of the oil sands on waterways and on native communities.


It's okay to admit you're wrong guys.

Consider it therapy lol

I, for one, am glad that folks like MF have no use for Alberta. The more the socialist stay away, the better we will be

It is getting to the Left Coast Flossy. Right now by rail and the TransMountain line is increasing capacity to ship bitumen right from the heart of the city of Vancouver.

Northen Gateway, Enbridge Line 9 and Energy East will increase that shipping capacity tremendously.

How many years did TransCanada pipe BC gas to ON through what will be Energy East?

Since 81 or 82?

How many people have died as a result?

Holy Crap!!!! I figure I'm burning on average about 8 gallons an hour,
so about 1/2 a liter/minute or so.....but I'm not dragging anything
behind me I guess, & I'm making my own road and packing it
as I go along so I'm not constantly on loose earth which
sucks more fuel....& this is pretty fuel efficient too...

How many HP? L?

My beast is 12.9L 516HP pulling a 60ft seed hawk followed by a 800 bushel seed tank followed by an anhydrous rig all drawing off the PTO while pulling at 6mph.

I like to run it at 2050 to 2100rpm.

13.5 Liter but at only 380hp, pulling nothing, but it pushes and digs like
no other loader I've been in. That's a seven yard bucket too. Foot on
the floor all the time so 2100-2200rpm regardless of whatever gear
it's in. You want a different speed? Pick a different gear, but foot on
the floor all the time.
