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 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

It's not her fault that our country is so screwy we can't even build a simple pipeline.

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

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.

I have a hard time believing that it has an effect already. The whole idea is to lower the glut, which takes more than a day.
rebusrankin Posted December 3, 2018 Report Posted December 3, 2018 So Justin has $50 million for education overseas but no $ for our vets? Media should be all over that. Its almost as if they've been paid off.

What's really frustrating is how much media coverage ya'all get in the south for this stuff compared to us.

At least it's good for a chuckle. Although, I'm sure his comments yesterday will give his opponents a ton of fodder for their cannons now.
