The fact he was humiliated for being outed as a dirtbag is just the icing on the cake. So much this. This makes me wish that we could like a post more than once.

SpeedFlex27 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Rachel Notley is expected to announce this evening that there will be a government mandated oil production output cut for Alberta oil. Presently, because there aren't enough pipelines to move the product, there is a surplus of 35 million barrels in storage. The price differential between Western Canadian Select (WCS) & West Texas Crude (WTC) is over $40.00. There is a lot of discussion how to get this price differential down & it seems that this is the route to go. From the oil industry to politicians. Although some in the oil industry oppose this & feel the market should set the price & not the provincial government. https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/will-alberta-cut-oil-production-notley-to-make-announcement-today-1.4201372 Edited December 3, 2018 by SpeedFlex27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not her fault that our country is so screwy we can't even build a simple pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not addressing the real issue and I doubt it has much impact in the short term, but she basically had to do it cause not doing anything isn't the answer either. This damned country is so ******* screwed up we can't work together to do anything at all and we're all going to suffer as a result. rebusrankin and kelownabomberfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She really had no choice. meanwhile, our useless PM & his government just sit on their hands Anyone who runs for the Libs in the next federal election in SK & AB will get wiped out.

It is similar to purchasing grain. You agree to buy a certain number of barrels at a price on a certain date.
