There's somehow this thought out there that Oil is going away or can be left in the ground in a short matter of years, but Oil is still a strong source and required source of energy, until the alternatives catch up in terms of cost and efficiency.


Its just like May and her recent policy position that we can simple transition every job and every business off of oil and gas just because . . . . good wishes.



I mean the bottom line is, we have these ernest, politicians in Canada standing on soap boxes talking about shutting down Oil in the short term, and when you ask then what the plan is, there isn't one besides "Jobs, lots of green energy jobs". I don't get it, its not a plan or a strategy, its a selling point that nobody seems to ever want to dive into.


Besides, if Canada "Lead the way" and decided to shut down oil production, all that happens is other oil producing countries step up and fill that market share, and frankly those countries for the most part have a more horrific environmental record then Canada does.
