So many countries forging ahead 2 discover & produce oil while 🇨🇦’s plan for oil appears 2 be 2 turn off the taps here and import more than the $20B we already import. Where is the vision? Beyond frustrating. @JustinTrudeau@SeamusORegan @PremierofNL
Everything we do is made possible by our natural resources.
Canada’s a leader in renewables, clean technology, environmental protection and responsible development! #YVR
@MJ_Bryant@cancivlib Michael, your discussion is limited to civil lib which I respect. However, The debate should include discussion on the fact that provinces have to pay for their own healthcare. This is a serious issue and a national economic flaw in this federation.
90,000 person yrs of work, $11B revenue & $55B GDP-those r the #s for NL from @NR_GovNL if delayed/cancelled oil projects do not proceed here. All while the $19.8B annually of imported oil to 🇨🇦 will have to ⬆️ to meet our demand. Is this the vision? @JustinTrudeau@SeamusORegan
If the Finance Minister does not resign then he should be fired. Accepting such a $41,000 gift would be a firing offence in every organization in Canada… except for the Liberal Party.

Norway is INCREASING exploration with the price of oil down. “"We need new discoveries to uphold employment and value creation," https://t.co/kJUGx0LhXp
Thats right !! Investment is leaving. And this is not about Politics..... its about recent federal regs costing too much! NL Industry is desperately calling on its load of MPs and Mr. Trudeau to support our offshore industry instead of making this Province a sacrifice.
THREAD:
The combination of foreign overproduction and a significant drop in demand related to COVID-19, has dealt a devastating blow to Newfoundland and Labrador's oil & gas industry. When investment leaves NL, it takes our young families and a skilled workforce with it.
Shame on you Ms. Coffin and NDP. Does my MP Jack Harris feel the same way? Now is not the time to make a frivolous stand. We need to stand together to save our province and get federal incentives to drill and develop. https://t.co/RKnBhceNGk
https://t.co/ftCrFYBLHd - "Coffin says that the province has “too many eggs in the basket.”
What other baskets would you put our eggs in @AlisonCoffinNDP , & what is your plan to hatch those eggs?
Easy to say that & use O&G as a punching bag without offering viable alternatives
Lack of action to date has me thinking Rex will turn out to be right. So terribly tragic for NL. $60B GDP loss and importantly a loss of place. @SeamusORegan@JustinTrudeau

You can’t “diversify away” from anything. Diversification does not mean to do less of one thing - It means to do more of other things. That I can support but I can’t support doing less exploration & oil production. How else can we ever deal with the $61 billion GDP loss?
