Let’s see some sources, not saying I don’t believe you because I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and don’t see any reason why any sane person would make something up on the internet but I know that some people might not share my optimistic outlook and I’m worried they might think you’re just pulling stuff out of your ass then passing it off as facts.

How can the industry be saving us if it is crippled? Also have you ran the numbers on the overall impact the energy industry is having on Canada? Does the amount of additional tax revenue offset the additional cost paid by Canadians for gas, heat, etc? How do those figures compare to the profits of the “crippled” energy corporations? Most importantly, how is PP going to fix any of this? |
The carbon tax and fuel standard tax etc. increases the cost of fuel and thus food/housing and pretty much everything that gets transported, and it does nothing to prevent global emissions.
First 2 sources that show up on Google regarding recent government hiring:

Canada’s ‘roaring’ recovery is not as robust as it seems
"Much of Canada’s post-pandemic jobs recovery—indeed, nearly 85 percent since February 2020—has actually been concentrated in the public sector."
Could you imagine how prosperous Canada would be if we had pipelines running east to west and no restrictions on getting our product to world markets? How is the current situation not crippled? We pretty much have one customer south of the border and our eastern provinces import dictator oil. Like what kind of question is that? We have c48 and c69 preventing tankers and pipelines and really any large projects (has there been any large projects of any kind approved since? Investment in Canada has dried up under Trudeau).
