O&G trying to take advantage of the current situation to make more money and fuck the environment.
Fucking assholes.
Isn't that gas refined in Sarnia and St John? Does the east get gas or diesel from the US refineries?
Exactly. Why do we send oil to USA to be refined then for them to sell it back to us? We need to build our own refineries and other manufacturers so we can start producing value-added goods instead of simply exporting raw materials.
The problem is the NIMBYISM and the financiers. One doesn't want them near them, and the others want them in the USA where they have retrofitted 10 refineries for our oil.
Every province should have refineries and oil shipped from coast to coast to coast, and Nat Gas. Use the royalty money to better Canada as Norway does for its citizens and then start using the money to wean ourselves off petroleum.
Such a refreshing, rational, nuanced take.
I wish there was more of you.
Yes NIMBYISM of the rich. They want all the profit, don't care about destroying the environment for profit, don't care about polluting the air, the water, the soil through their fossil fuels extraction, as long as we don't ruin their views. Tax the rich.
Agreed 💯%
