There is nothing independent about losing so much revenue that it would affect the budget.
If we were energy independent we wouldn't need to sell it to other countries.
If we were energy dependent we would need to buy it from the Saudi's

I'm going to buy a gold toilet bowl with that money and live like a Saudi Prince.
Perhaps you are not getting the fact that we still need to sell to someone and if that price is low, it's not good for tax revenue or jobs?
If we were truly independent then we wouldn't care about pipelines to the US or selling to China.
Since we are a net exporter it's about selling, not buying.

We are dependent on revenue of oil.
But we have achieved oil independence.
Just fine since it is a turbine engine, more power from the fuel if it is close to the exhaust outlet.How does the Orinoco Heavy burn in your tank?
Are we dependent on oil revenue or taxed labour?

If prices keep dropping and we are moving on to renewables, then it's better not to be independent.
Especially when you consider the additional cost of polluting and carbon pricing models that will continue to evolve.
Oil production will grow in both Canada and the U.S. in 2015, which will keep oil prices relatively low. For the OPEC countries heavily dependent on oil revenue, they face significant financial problems, straining relations inside the cartel.
In the long-term, demand for OPEC's oil could fall. Renewable energy is growing around the world, global oil and natural gas production continue to climb and there are questions about whether Asia can continue its double-digit economic growth. All of these factors suggest the cartel's clout will diminish further.

On a turbine engine? You must be thinking jet engine.
Not when we are a member.
Ah my bad.
I thought we were a member of OPEC but that is not the case.
Regardless, this is indicative of the fact that we will be needing to consider the environmental cost of our actions in addition to the lower revenues.
God this is even worse than I previously thought.
Nothing that he or you said denies the fact that the market is unstable and that delayed the budget.
If you think I'm wrong on that critical point, let me know.

OK you are wrong. I expect oil will rise again in the spring. It won't be $100 but it will be above $60.The budget will be balanced and the tories will win with a majority in October.
To hear the gloom &doomers talk one would think that Canada has no exports or industry besides oil.
There will be a environment consequence that we pump it or that someone else pumps it.....
And if we didn't pump it we would have even less revenue.
Exqueeeze me?
I quoted the finance minister who said the exact same thing when he delayed the budget.
