@WMckort @revolutionvote @GunOwnersofCana @MarkJCarney So having a middle man so to speak, here, is somehow a better deal than owning the extraction and refining?

And not having money go to private corps?

That doesn't feel right.

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@WMckort @revolutionvote @GunOwnersofCana @MarkJCarney So you're saying that my basic understanding here isn't accurate...

Alberta doesn't make less money than they would if they say had a nationalized oil industry? Like the Saudis?

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@revolutionvote @WMckort @GunOwnersofCana @MarkJCarney 40 cents.

What a deal.

Too bad AB didn't already have a sizable publicly owned company operating in the oil sands...

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@revolutionvote @WMckort @GunOwnersofCana @MarkJCarney You're going to build refineries now too?

I wasn't aware that regulations were what was stopping AB refineries.

So which companies have planned to build and operate that were halted by regs? Or was the province building and operating?

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@revolutionvote @WMckort @GunOwnersofCana @MarkJCarney That's a different question.

He said AB exports 120B and makes 21b.

So every buck twenty exported, AB gets 20 cents

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@revolutionvote @WMckort @GunOwnersofCana @MarkJCarney Yes the US would give little Alberta a sweet heart deal?

Why? They have all the leverage. All of it.

Alberta's whole deal is "We have oil you want"

Which is true. Oil they want. Not need. Just want.

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@WMckort @revolutionvote @GunOwnersofCana @MarkJCarney What are the rates that Alberta uses with Oil tenures.

When a tenure is granted, what are the rates AB receives?

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@jmclennan8 @bettybloodclot Yes. The grievance are largely "Alberta doesn't have the population to dramatically influence legislation and that's unfair"

If Senate were rep by pop, Alberta would be in the exact same place as now.

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@jmclennan8 @bettybloodclot So you want more senate seats.

That makes sense. Alberta could punch well above it's population weight that way.

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@jmclennan8 @bettybloodclot So we're now just dismissing what was a concern now?

"Oh shit, turns out equal house representation doesn't benefit Alberta much. Deep six that. Move on to the next"

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@revolutionvote @WMckort @GunOwnersofCana @MarkJCarney We all have Grok hahahahahha.

Will it jump? Will exporting oil through 2 foreign countries be easier and more cost effective?

Will the US give Alberta a fair shake when it's economic leverage is significantly smaller vs the whole of Canada?

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@WMckort @revolutionvote @GunOwnersofCana @MarkJCarney Didn't you say AB exports 120b worth of oil....

It makes ~21b in royalties?

So when $1.20 worth of oil is exported, everyone else keeps a loonie?

And AB gets 2 dimes?

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@jmclennan8 @bettybloodclot And it becomes not fair when the rest of the country doesn't agree with them for a while on which party should lead.

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@jmclennan8 @bettybloodclot Albertans not feeling represented has nothing to do with seat allocation.

5-7 extra seats in AB, while Ontario picks up 3-5?

Makes no difference.

Ultimately it's because AB (SK too), unlike most provinces, votes overwhelmingly 1 party.

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@jmclennan8 @bettybloodclot So AB gets a few seats extra if we stick to a static seat-per-pop number.

Ontario does as well, and ultimately it's a wash.

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@jmclennan8 @bettybloodclot Technically AB, BC, Ontario and QC are currently under represented based on seats per population.

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@WMckort @revolutionvote @GunOwnersofCana @MarkJCarney How much does AB get in royalties on Oil tenures?

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@WMckort @revolutionvote @GunOwnersofCana @MarkJCarney You send half of that money to the East?

And I'm not sure how that answers my questions about royalties on Oil tenure....

[110% Conservative @CdnConMan]

@revolutionvote @WMckort @GunOwnersofCana @MarkJCarney Yeah. It won't.

But if we're talking about it? If you're going to vote on it? Let's wear big boy pants and not pretend it's all upside.....
