just a guy who loves Canadian oil and gas!

@LUV2SKIPOW I remember being excited when Harper et al got elected. Finally an Albertan! Then 8 months later came Halloween 2006 when the rug was pulled out from under energy income trusts by the very westerners we just elected…

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Take a bow, Alberta WE WON!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Every line of this is what we Albertans have been saying for years!

Total repudiation of the Trudeau-Guilbault energy policy!

“Global oil demand will remain in the tens of millions of barrels a day for decades to come.

“So the question is: who will be the world’s trusted supplier of oil for years to come. It should be us. It must be Canada.”

Very thoughtful essay from Mac Van Wielingen on the energy transition that closely reflects my own thinking.

“Treating emission reductions as an absolutist, be-all-end-all priority and subordinating other essential societal priorities was a serious failure in strategic thinking. The result was badly disproportionate trade-offs which had real world consequences and caused extensive pushback…

None of this repudiates climate concern. It is the overdue arrival of realism, accountability and the logic of cost benefits proportionality in policy implementation.”

@magnevision1 @andrew_leach They could reduce service levels and also reduce taxes. Equalization isn’t a salve for ridiculously high tax rates as a means for providing superior services.

[Jason Mevel @JasonMevel]

@andrew_leach “reasonably comparable levels of services at reasonably comparable levels of taxation.”The first test is reasonably comparable levels of service followed by the levels of taxation required to achieve that. You should only receive for the purpose of providing comparable services.

[Jason Mevel @JasonMevel]

@andrew_leach That’s not the intention at all. The formula is flawed and doesn’t achieve the intended result but no federal party is willing to address that.

@aibtcdude @cselley Might be tough to get to airport security though.

On this day in 1989, Ron Hextall went after Chris Chelios. He was later given a 12-game suspension for the attack #Hockey365 #LetsGoFlyers

[Eric Nuttall @ericnuttall]

You know things are bad when even Fatih Birol of the IEA is saying that Canada needs to get its act together and start developing more oil projects!

[Jackie Forrest @JackieForrest]

Lately, I’ve been asked why Canada should pursue an expensive greenfield West Coast oil pipeline when the cheapest option is to continue shipping to the United States.

Today, my op-ed in @globeandmail argues that, if a new pipeline is evaluated only on traditional commercial terms, it will never get built. A West Coast pipeline should be seen as insurance, providing access to tidewater and Asian markets when it matters most.

For a West Coast greenfield oil pipeline to happen, Canadians, governments, and industry will need new approaches to financing, ownership, and returns.

@JameslikesEth @Parag_Oilman @DomBZee @DanielSLoeb1 The oil sits on top of the water. The water won’t push the “through” the oil to get to the wellbore, The oil needs to be removed in order for the water to move into the space previously occupied by the oil.

This could’ve been Northern Gateway and Kitimat

[Rob Carlson @robcarlsonca]

Wild idea.

How about we let the provinces in green below come up with a plan to grow GDP, while the provinces in red sit quietly and take notes.

[Jason Mevel @JasonMevel]

@ForeverUnitedFU @Bill096409832 @RealAndyLeeShow Yes, let them pay for their own pipelines and infrastructure. Just let them risk their own capital, that’s all we’re asking for.

[cbcwatcher @cbcwatcher]

"Canada has agreed to contribute 23.6 million barrels, Energy Minister Tim Hodgson announced on Friday."

No strategic reserve, no excess capacity in production or transmission, CBC's Brewster cant be bothered to ask where the 23.6 million barrels is coming from and over what period.

It's clear why CBC is the PMO stenographer of choice

@doilookwasted I never had to work with a slant, I can only imagine how annoying it would be. And to be fair, I was only ever the guy listening over the phone. I never had to actually do the work. Still I wouldn’t have wanted to listen to the guy dealing with it.

[Jason Mevel @JasonMevel]

@jcalder1983 @SteveOO6969 Try pouring a can of coke on it. Try to get it to get it to flow inside a bit. The guys on one of my service rigs did it to release a seized dognut once.

Remember when Germany came to Canada for LNG, and Trudeau took their Chancellor to Newfoundland for wind-generated hydrogen?
N.L. vows to chase wind-hydrogen companies for $34.5 million in overdue land fees. #hydrogen https://t.co/kz7yHxbfah
