@PeterZeihan, if the US/Iran conflict spreads, who would ally with who in the region, and beyond (India, Turkey, Pakistan, former Soviet Union, Indonesiaโฆ), and who is most likely to get involved first?
@CorbLund Sounds like you aren't interested in politics, just trying to do the right thing @corblund. Damn shame for Alberta. Sounds like there is a opening up at the #ANDP and it could use a good Albertan with common sense to take the reigns and fix this place.
With internationally owned oil and gas companies gouging consumers maybe Canada should have a nationalized oil and gas company?
If a nationalized oil and gas company was selling gasoline at a slight profit say 10% wouldn't that be beneficial for most Canadians?
@ReignMorbid@stephen_taylor We didnโt leave the stone age because we ran out of stones.
No one is investing. Well counts are down. Shell is the latest to pull out of the tar sands. Europe is accelerating to get off Ruskie oil. Even Saudi Arabia is going solarโฆ
Iโm sure they said the same about asbestos.
@ReignMorbid@stephen_taylor I can only hope any one of those things is true. Sadly, weโre wasting billions on keep that dead industry alive, and havenโt got anywhere towards reducing emissionsโฆ
PS - Iโll be happy to take your carbon kickback cheque if you donโt want it.
@TinyBeaches @BigtimeYYC Thanks for setting the record straight. I only remember it coming out of the manholes.
Didnโt look it crossed the berm by much - maybe a couple rows of sandbags wouldโve stopped it. Clearly, it was enough thoughโฆ
@ReignMorbid@stephen_taylor Yeahโฆ only billions spent on TMX, millions spent on cleaning up abandoned wells, millions more on tax breaks, millions more on CERB for oil patch workers.
And the carbon โtaxโ gets refunded to us - cheque is coming next month.
So hard on O&G.
Climate refugees will be the largest crisis the world will ever face. Parts of America will become inhabitable in the next 50-100 years. #ClimateCrisis
