I have a hard time comprehending that! Has the demand for oil decreased? Is the quota of highway miles abating? Has a substitute for oil been invented? If you add two and two together you'll quickly realize that is bullshit and quit submitting silly posts.

The glut of oil is apparently the result of various factors:
First- Yankee oil production has DOUBLED since 2012 thanks to extraction from Shale deposits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And LIE-berals have admitted this shale fact..............................
What LIE-berals will NOT ADMIT is there apparently a modest reduction in recreational use of oil- for fueling motorboats and jet skis
and snowmobiles and other civil service union Hog toys............nor will LIE-berals consider that civil service union Hogs- the people
that LIE-berals SWORE they would protect if elected- are now paying at least two grand more per year in taxes- and that is AFTER
allowing for the pay raises LIE-berals also gave the Hogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals do not track just how many people used to take a long leisurely ride into the green and pleasant countryside- to go to the
beach, or look at autumn leaves, or visit a quaint country inn etc........and who have now cut out such frills in these tight times!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes- even Hogs are tightening their belts just a little these days- meaning less fuel burned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we do KNOW that rural Ontari-owe is suffering financially!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why drive to the restaurant in your gas guzzling SUV when you can get some kid to bring you take out in his rusted out puddle jumper?????????????????
Cdns squeezed by time constraints are more frequently turning to grocery delivery units- meaning large trucks lumbering around the city- and engines sitting at idle for extended periods while deliveries are made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then there is the younger generation- even LIE-berals have grudgingly admitted that the number of kids aged 16- 24 who hold a drivers license has dropped significantly in recent years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it is kids who used to drive most often for fun and for exploration- and they cannot afford to any more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cars are now more often owned by retired or semi retired people who do not have to commute so often or so far any more! An aging population means cars driven less often- and less fuel burned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While younger people either take endless transit rides or struggle in their puddle jumper rust buckets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And of course the rise in part time and temporary work means MORE DRIVING for those doing McJobs on the lowest income levels!!!
So we are using fuel raher differently these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And producing it differently too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Add in the Russians who are producing MAJOR OIL SUPPLIES so they will have the hard currency they need to modernize their
military and you end up with this over supply!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then add in the inability of Alberta to export its oil outside Canada or central United States- thanks to LIE-beral unwillingness to allow pipelines to be built and you have major problems for Alberta!!!!!
The world market for oil is a large as it ever was- its just that Alberta has been partly cut out of the Yankee oil market and LIE-berals have FORBIDDEN Alberta to sell to the world market!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes- Cdn oil cannot be sold outside Canada in spite of the fact it is produced under tighter- and cleaner regulations than other countries- and in spite of the fact that a lot of people would rather buy from friendly Canada than from the militant Russians!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its just the usual LIE-beral muddled thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our idiot Boy is like his father- an admirer of Soviet style dictators and he would rather support Putin, in spite of his HATRED of all
things western - than be caught supporting the Saudis, even though they have been quite friendly and supportive of the west!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And of course Our idiot Boy - with his heavy socialist leanings would much rather support socialist dictatorship in Venezuela- than
encourage Albertans with their long history of hostility to LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Alberta oil problem is the direct result of screwed up LIE-beral priorities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
