Fact: Calgary is an Oil only city, it has no other sustainable industry for it to remain a major city if fossil fuels are no longer needed. Without Oil Calgary will make Detroit look like a boom town. |
Are you willfully this dense or do you have to work at it?
Southern Alberta has great farm land, fed by irrigation that has nothing to do with the O&G sector. Farmers take care of farmland, not the oil patch. Even if by some miracle we could abandon fossil fuels tomorrow the farmland will still be there, still operated by farmers. I suspect you like putting food into your guts when your hungry; that has nothing to do with the oil and gas sector.
O&G could pull up all their stakes in Alberta tomorrow and I can guarentee come spring all the farmland in this province is going to be seeded.
