It really doesn't help when the opposition fools like Codere are telling an insidious lie that Quebec doesn't receive enough economic benefit, or that they think it matters whether Quebec receives any benefit, or that Alberta isn't sharing in the risk of the projects.

All three arguments are entirely untrue.

Though maybe we're right for having a sense of moral indignation when our cheeky friends out east can simultaneously blame the price of oil for the federal government's deficit while doing absolutely everything in their power to delay the growth of the Canadian oil sector. Or maybe we're right for having a sense of moral indignation when we can look at all of the environmentally treacherous and ethically appalling mining companies operating out of Quebec and Ontario that the easterners apparently have zero issue with, yet see that they hypocritically have a problem with ethical oil extraction. Or how about their insistence on conducting business with Saudi Arabia, both in selling arms and in buying oil?
