This is pretty rich considering the whole fear in here is that oil companies will ditch when we ask for a bigger piece of the resource they are pulling from our ground and selling to international markets making ridiculous profits (these last few months notwithstanding), leaving a large portion of the population unemployed and not giving a rats vagina because they can get a percentage point lower tax rate the next province over, or the next country over.
