I don't live in Calgary. And generally- up until recently, everything the stamps do is generally better as an on-field product. STamps as a whole though- suck ******* donkey dong.

Harper isn't running, but scheer is Harper with a smile- he is a graduate from harper's school of politics. How different is his platform from Harpers?

Seriously man- Just own up to the fact what you are saying about the communist party of canada is not advocating genocide- you are are being ridiculous.

How are they the same thing?

Good lord what an ass- total racist ****- you can't do that. Now- is Trudeau a racist? Black/Brown face 20+ years ago: Check. Advancing racist bills and/or agendas: nope. Promoting racists into positions of power: nope. Courting the racists: not that I can see. Anything else anyone wants to throw in there that I missed? I would like a clearer picture.

**** that noise- Liberals campaign left and govern right. It's always a sham with them.

OMG that was crazy funny! I just shot coffee out my nose. Good one! Wait wait, I got one- No ****, if only Congress can do as good of a job as the Senate! Guffaws all around!

WOw- iheart with the death notices every time. I should know better

God damn...

Including ours. I am excited.

Agreed- they had a pretty forgiving schedule. We'll see after three weeks- you are totally right.

And Winnipeg. Masoli didn't win that game- Dane did.

I don't understand how he keeps getting away with that move.

The East did NOTHING to help us today... Well- looks like the Bombers need to take care of business now.

Ticats looking real good. They are legit. I would expect that from Steinhauer

Hopefully today my friend, hopefully today.

Just watched this... it's pretty funny: Best Part- the end "They try to take my joy away- That's what losers do."

opps- someone pulled a boner on that fake punt.

Same time that we last won a Grey Cup... You need to go back. lol I want to see us win another one before I die.

Oh, you're a roughneck. What year were you on rigs?

You are absolutely right- I don't know a tonne about the oil sands. I know enough to have am opinion though- one that I am willing to change. Thank you for sharing your nuanced position- it is appreciated.

I absolutely agree with you- I never advocated to just stop. I think we need to shift over to renewables- gradually to balance the economy. The world may not be using less oil- but purely from an economic point... the tar sands are too costly to extract versus sweet light crude- the Alberta sands didn't really take off until oil hit ~$75 a barrel, very profitable at that point. At $35 a barrel.. no, we saw what happened to the tar sands when the bottom of oil fell out- and all that took was OPEC to say "Hey, let's ramp up production" and Boom- oil prices crater and a huge chunk of the oil companies went belly up... tar sands was one of the first ones to crater along with the price. Tar sands is not sustainable- from a completely economic perspective. No mention of the moral argument side of things- just from a $$$ perspective. Energy companies are fleeing- mainly because what I wrote above. What can we do? Shift to renewables and give them the tax breaks, incentives- everything that the oil companies were getting and more. Entice the companies through those avenues. Tar sands are on the way out- we should be prepared before we get stuck with the bill.

That is a clumsily veiled "**** you"- thanks, I appreciate that. Anyways, I am not going to take the bait- You do you. As always, good chat.

Why is it silly? the tar sands will not be able to compete with renewables in the near future. If it was sweet light crude.. maybe- but not the tar sands. If you don't believe me- go a research how many investors have pulled out of the tar sands, check on investment managers at pension funds, insurance companies, philanthropic foundations and universities that are divesting from tar sand holdings for economic reasons. Seven of the world’s largest multinational oil corporations sold off their Alberta holdings. What's silly is banking on the tar sands as a sure bet. Look at what happened when OPEC dropped the price of sweet light crude? What happened? Were the tar sands flourishing at that point? Maybe @ $100+/barrel- sure. but not at $50 a barrel.. and the price of oil is going to drop. So- at the end, when renewables are competitive with tar sands bitumen- do you think the price will be worth it? to continue with tar sands? and then at that point, you get a stranded "asset" with a pipeline that is not fully paid for and is a shitty investment. Like I said- you may not want to believe all the "hysteria", but the science backs it up. I am going to base my opinion on evidence not wishful thinking.
