Looks like all those talks about pipelines and investing in oil didn't stop the separatism, eh Carney?
To be fair, that's not clear yet. The referendum has not yet ended.
Why even hold it in the first place? Especially with the current context of U.S. interference in our politics and media manipulation?
It's just like Brexit.
You're preaching to the choir.
LOL!!! Yeah. I guess I am.
Libs and oranges always try and placate the cons, thinking it'll smooth things over, but the cons take, and they take; and when the gravy train ends they give the finger back.
Let fort Mac burn once. Just once. And ask Marlaina how she likes the RoC now. It'll be a good prep for becoming another Puerto Rico for America, too, if we frame it right, right down to the lobbed paper towel.
(Keep in mind that the best money-based thing Marlaina could do for the people is massively curtail foreign ownership of resource extraction to 49%, instead of the 99-100% it is now, but she's still going with some moronic trickle-down plan that hasn't worked since even before Peter lougheed's time)
This is the second time I've replied to you about this, the Canadian extraction and midstream fields are not overwhelmingly foreign owned. The midstream field for instance is mostly TC Energy, Pembina, Enbridge, Trans Mountain and Interpipeline, all Canadian Owned.
Upstream includes Ovintiv, Suncor, CNRL, Tourmaline, ARC, etc. Yes some of these have moved to the US but most are not.
Are these companies still oligarchs with are too much power? Yes. Are they foreign owned? No.
The new pipeline is an even more interesting one since it will be under Trans Mountain (federally owned crown corp). You couldn't ask for a better situation since the federal government can dangle that single asset over all of Alberta as both a carrot and a stick. Its literally a nationalized oil asset with profit going back into federal coffers for use elsewhere.
Edit addition for clarity: I agree with ALL your other statements.
Who is Marlaina?
Daniel Smith's first name.
Since Marlaina decided that people under 16 can't go by anything other than their legal first name without parental permission in schools, many people will call her by her legal first name until they see her permission slip.
