I guess once the boom is over and the hard landing follows they will be the same people looking around for who to blame. I'm sick of this tin cup syndrome in canadian society, if you wanna make this country uncompetitive and unattractive to foreign investment keep up the good work. I just love the trudeauesque mantra. Ever wonder why he's considered the worst canadian of all time.?

Wrong I am listening. I'm obviously just no listening to the groups that you are. I don't know why it has to be all or nothing either. Can't they increase the royalties a sensible amount? But all I hear are threats coming from the industry.
Funny, Albertans are having money taken from them essentially. Can you imagine what the outcry would be if it was Ottawa taking it? But nooooo, because it's corporations that's ok.
Your idea of competativism (sorry for the word invention) seems to be "hands off my industry".
