Sorry , but the rest of them (other G8 countries) are all in a mess compared to ours. Harper does a great job of allowing buisness to make money,yet not letting them rape the contry like they did in the US and other countries....
Harper has no intentions of telling anyone where to sell there oil,he just wants to tell the USA if you don`t want our oil fine.....China has the cash to buy it anyway,hell ,they own the mortage on the US anyhow. I think the US hs to start treating Canda with a little more respect in terms of a trading & NAFTA partner.............


Yes I agree we are in better shape than other G8 countries. But the reason we are in better shape is not all because of Harper and his decisions (maybe some) but because of many issues including our banking laws which were in effect prior to the financial collapse. This alone was a major saving grace for our country. In addition, a combination of huge natural resources plus low population was "easier" to keep the population working. Although I agree we need to diverse ourselves to whom we sell to, it is not that easy for Canada to turn its back on the US. We are connected in more ways than just oil.

Build the refineries or build a pipe line..... I say build the refineries, there are a bunch of them up here now that were in MAJOR need up upgrading 10 years ago....now they need to be decommissioned and replaced....

Stop talking and start building....

Its time we stop giving our oil away for free. If other nations want it they need to pay for it. There is no reason that our fuel prices are so high. Perhaps we should build more refineries and process it ourselfs and sell the finished product instead. I say its time we turn the taps back of selling oil and start creating our own national companies rather then having forieng influences control our GDP. We have it, the want it

Personally, I hope the pipeline doesn't go. We need more refineries UP HERE. Makes no sense to ship our crude south so they can refine it...then sell the fuel back to us...and um, well...WE'RE HAVING SHORTAGES!! we pump the sh!t out of the ground here and we can't go buy diesel!! Pi$$es me off.


oh Dave here we go again, another oil arguement, i'm not going there. hehehe

I don't think they will ever build any more refineries unless demand calls for it. it would cause a surplus of refined fuels and drive the price down. they would rather take the chance on being short of supplies and drive the price up than to have too much and the price come down. sucks but that's the way it is
