LOL what the heck are you talking about?

The difference is moreso elderly/retired people who vote for Pastoor, who are concentrated on the south side of Lethbridge.

Seriously....go read a book or something. 54% of the people who voted today voted conservative. And they all sure as hell aren't Mormons.

You have not only failed to answer my question, but you are twisting what I said into something much too simple. I am not one for personal attacks, but surely you can't be that stupid. How could what I have written possibly be construed as having put forth that "everyone who voted conservative in Lethbridge is an evangelical Christian"?

What I have written is that the vast majority of voters who did vote conservative in that riding are Mormans. Ninety-odd percent of Mormans vote conservative in any election, anywhere in the world. That is why there is such a difference between Lethbridge West and Lethbridge East.

I have no idea.

But I know FOR SURE that it has nothing to do with the majority of the west side being Mormons.

I think you made that up on the spot.

Are you freaking serious. we produce the most expensive crude on earth. Alberta growth IS the marginal barrel. There is some sweet but it is less and less of total production, and no investment and few jobs are dedicated to it.

Johnny, I'd just suggestion going to bed. Everything you are saying is just factually incorrect.

Actually no, the portion of Oilsand we upgrade its sold as synthetic sweet light.. Its worth roughly the same as WTI.. The rest is heavy oil which sells at extreme discount..Your $20/barrel figure is grossly out of line, our economics right now are $55 to break even..

To answer my own question:

WAP Jane Morgan 8.8% 858

Eech.

[calculoso]

I'm finding the Vote Share battle between the WAP and the NDP very interesting.
http://www.cbc.ca/albertavotes2008/ridings/
(as of 9:39 pm mst)

Provincially:
NDP - 8.8%
WAP - 6.77%

Calgary:
NDP - 4.47%
WAP - 9.43%

Edmonton:
NDP - 19.34%
WAP - 1.56%

Rural:
NDP - 6.54%
WAP - 10.05%

Smaller Cities:
NDP - 7.68%
WAP - 6.29%

Northern Alberta:
NDP - 11.65%
WAP - 6.43%

Central Alberta:
NDP - 5.92%
WAP - 6.18%

Southern Alberta:
NDP - 4.42%
WAP - 12.58%

Definite shift in support depending on whether you're in the north or the south. Wonder why that is?

Exit polling is illegal in Canada dude.

You seriously need to quit while you are behind.

That is "such a difference"?

Um......yeah it is. A ten point difference for the Liberal party in adjacent ridings is an unbelievable stat. You won't find that difference anywhere else in the province, bar exceptional circumstances.

I was under the impression from several sources that the majority of Alberta oil extracts are poor quality compared to WTI, and brings in quite a bit less.

Moreover, its conventional natural gas that provides the best return, and while that's trading at a decent place ($9), the new framework makes it tougher to make money.

Well as Resolute pointed out above....there isn't such a significant difference.

I guess all those Mormons moved.

I mentioned nothing about Canada in my post. There happen to be many countries in the world other than Canada. Most of them have Mormans. And all the Mormans everywhere vote conservative. It's a fact.

Not in April

Anyway the cost to produce light synthetic is aobut 50 to 60 bucks right now

What Johnny doesn't know is that the process and costs involved to go from tar sands to synthetic is massive relative to the process and costs of developing a TI barrel

He attempted to nationalize our oil industry and started the worst oil company in Canada, Petro Canada.. They are still run like a government organization despite having cut their ties a few years ago.. Western alienation may have been spawned during confederation. But it was kicked into overdrive by Trudeau.

You can tell me all this till your fingers fall off typing it all. It still doesn't qualify him as the "worst Canadian of all time".

Trudeau brought in a number of significant changes to Canada during his tenure. Most of them I think made Canada a stronger, richer country. His major mistake was his handling of the energy crisis (which I've already stated).

Yeah, Reaper posted a link a while back saying that Alberta doesn't get the complete market value for oil because our oil is different.

And now I can't find it.

Damn Mormons. Always causing a majority government by always voting conservative!

I curse you, Joseph Smith! You and your Neo-Con following!

Thank you.

Although not exactly what I was looking for....its pretty close.

And how I can't find it.

That's just a small portion of it. There is insufficient pipeline capacity to move it to marketable hubs downstream of AB.
