No government is going to magically snap their fingers and fix things. I have no loyalty to any political party, and I get that it's human nature to want things fixed now, but people need to really try and have an open mind about changes. I'm willing to bet if the NDP were voted out tomorrow and things stayed the exact same or got worse, the people who are complaining now would say "well at least it's better than if the NDP were in charge" or "yeah it's taking some
time but it woulds be going worse if the NDP were running things" The reason politics become a gong show is because most people pick parties to support like they pick sports teams to cheer for, they make a choice and stick to it no matter how many times the oilers finish last.

I asked for them, and you did NOT provide them. I cited 2 other potentially BN companies, but based upon Suncor's AR that Slava perused, I'd hazard none.
You said O&G companies, whilst making billions, are laying off employees, to paint a gloomy picture thereby pressuring the ruling political party.
You then corrected yourself in saying you worded it poorly.
"big oil companies will see that eliminating jobs to create political pressure to decrease their taxes with the aspiration of increasing profits"
So which political party is it being pressured? Federal? Not only inaccurate, but also confusing.
