Shantz what is it going to do?
Its going to get the oil out of the ground faster, drivng down oil prices, flooding the market with oil.
Oil is NOT a renewable resource FYI and it looks more and more like we are going to run out of this resource pretty damned soon.
I am not going to waste money so Oil can be gotten out of the ground faster with little benifit to our province - sure we can outsource all the labour we want to, but at a certain point, its not the people that are benifiting from this, its the oil companies.
Sorry these companies can put their profits on hold for a little while and that oil can stay in the ground a little longer.

I don't think King Ralph is on the same page as this, though. He seems intent on pillaging this resource as fast as possible. His track record has shown that he is on side with large corporations and not public opinion on many occasions, so it's not like he's going to put things on hold so our grandkids can have oil instead of "slaying the deficit dragon" or whatever the hell it was he said.
I don't like import workers either, but it has been proven to work just fine in other countries.
