If we tossed out every rookiewho struggled hjralahu and Paredes would not have careers...

Well for one thing kickers can get better... especially young ones.

Jack Layton was as greasy a politician as there was. Not sure how he gifted so many people into believing otherwise. Never liked that guy. Pssst, international women's day was a few days ago...

Sorry for your tough upbringing.

Sadly they don't any more. They stand for social conservatism, corporate welfare and fiscal irresponsibility. Slashing taxes to starve the beast is bad policy. The closest thing we have to progressive conservatives in this country right now are the Liberals. They are pro business without the ideologically driven aspects of the current batch of conservatives. It's just too bad Trudeau is such a dope.

The liberals absolutely did not squander oil money. Since natural resources are provincial it is the provinces predominantly gaining financially from oil and gas. None moreso than Alberta with it's near half century of conservative rule... how's the heritage fund looking? Awwwww crap. Now granted they kept our taxes low so yay for that... but it might have been nice to have more savings in the bank for those rainy days. Please God, just one more boom, I promise not to piss it away this time

Oh the argument is perfectly clear: Trudeau bad! Lefties bad! Liberals bad! It's just too bad that the people who bang that drum the loudest are the least likely to actually step back and look critically at the big picture. I have said repeatedly that I am not a huge fan of Trudeau or the Liberal party but I can clearly see that they offer a lot more to this country than thr conservatives do. Don't even get me started on the BS claims of fiscal responsibility. Conservatives use that as an excuse to gut public services and throw in a boutique tax cut to pretend they are helping the country.

Maybe he liked the Conservative approach that Jason Kenney took... throw $1billion at a project doomed to fail.... FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!

This Thursday on the Disney Channel

Look into it... "yup, mission accomplished, it got blowed up good"

It's just disgusting what this mad man is going to get away with. Ruining history country, sending conscripts to their deaths for no good reason and wantonly bombing civilians. Putin can go **** himself with a rusty fork.

Kenney will take every step needed to ensure he doesn't have to answer any even remotely hard questions. Guy is a spineless coward. Expect all questions to be of the "why are notley and Trudeau such awful people?" Variety.

Best means where they get the most oil for the least effort.

They took into account where the best places to extract it are. I am just saying the stuff was discovered because it's exposed along the river. Upstream of this particular tribe by the way. Realistically as long as things are properly regulated and enforced (this is the biggest issue in my opinion) exposure from operations shouldn't be the issue. People get so up on no more oil! They get sanctimonious about it. Don't shut it down, properly regulate it.

Yeah and it's just one more chapter in the history of the earth. They're calling it the anthropocene now. In millions of years if there's any species smart enough to study geology they will wonder what caused all of this.

A population of sufficient size to reproduce.... or do you think survival means 9 billion people or something? Life has come and gone on this planet for billions of years. Pretending it's static is just silly. It is an incredibly dynamic system. Is pollution and all sorts of things making it harder? Sure but there's always something. Just adapt and keep on going in the new world. Won't be the same but nothing ever is.

Did you know? There are places where the MacMurray formation is eroded by rhe river naturally and the bitumen can enter the water ways naturally? Now there are some lunatics up there for sure. Remember this is the county that flat out said they weren't doing business with any business that had a mandatory vaccination policy. That's less the power of oil and more the power of stupidity.

And do they change or just pay the taxes and pass the cost down to consumers? Cap and trade and carbon pricing to me are really glorified wealth transfer mechanisms. Now if a government took the revenue from carbon taxes and pumped it into programs and research sure, but call me skeptical that happens as opposed to it just being more tax revenue.

Honestly, the best answer is regulation on companies which is sorely lacking. Pretty much every business everywhere gets a subsidy at some point. Just make oil and gas companies fulfill their obligations to environmental safety. Now how much of this is attributed to other factors as well? It wasn't that long ago lead was taken out of things, and I would hazard a guess there are plenty of other factors at play in modern times too. Decline in quality of diet, added stress levels due to always being connected etc. So I guess I asking, how did these studies control for outside factors?

The biggest issues for me with EVs is the charging time. Who wants to sit and wait half an hour to recharge whe ln filling up a gas tank is super quick? For commuter vehicles sure absolutely but I still forsee a lot of issues if you want to drive any distance. Also not super up to date on current technologies but I wonder about battery life in extreme cold.

Price of gas is one thing, but the carbon tax is such a minor amount in comparison to everything else. It's a good sound bite and morons believe it has a bigger impact than it does. I don't believe they are super effective at actually addressing CO2 pollution, but it's a pretty negligible amount in comparison to the other rising prices happening out there.

Oh no? You think we can't adapt as a species? When the population is billions and still climbing fast millions isn't that significant. The world is always in Flux. The most adaptable species survive and we just happen to be pretty good at adapting. Especially when we possess the brains and opposable thumbs to modify the environment to suit our needs.

Ummmm no... I would argue that their products are a large reason we see such a large population of humans on the planet. We as a species have thrived because of the cheap, reliable, easily transportable energy that fossil fuels have given us. Climate change will **** up lots of other species but humans are a resilient bunch. We as a species will get through just fine. I think you are backwards there too. Oil and gas hired the cigarette propagandists to work for them.

**** gas prices, the cost of power bills in Alberta is skyrocketing.... this is what conservatives do. Corporations get profits and we get stuck with bigger bills. It's not a tax hut higher utilities, higher insurance... God know what else will be higher. But oh yeah it's the pennies on a tank of gas affecting my bottom line.
