I'm gong to write a few of these
Drill baby Drill: The hinderance of the O&G industry in Canada is a serious problem. My brother got into the oil industry around 07 and man...business was booming. The guy made a bunch of money. The 2014 fall was bad and it hasn't recovered since then. Then a bunch of stupid idiot Liberals put in some really dumb legislation making it even more difficult for oil companies to do their jobs - and a bunch of em have now pulled out of the country. Rex Murphy in 2013? Did this speech in Calgary about how beneficial the O&G Industry is, how it basically saved the East Coast which had its fishing industry decimated...by the government, and how O&G gave lower working class people, so much prosperity and a chance to "rise" out and become upper middle class. That speech changed my entire point of view on O&G, after being fed the lies of "OIL BAD, GREEN GOOD". Why the hell are we stifling our cash cow industry? Especially since we want all these nice social programs and shit...well...if we want to emulate the Norwegian Model, better starting looking to see how Norway funds their social programs (Big hint: Oil). Same thing applies to all the "dirty industries". Regulate them to a point, but don't hinder the entire industry because "women might be effected in the small town".
