    Well Hammy, if I had the time, I could list the things the Cons did do, and they were scary but it isn't going to change things...or minds.....so think I will just go feed those methane producers....

        Don't encourage him, Tom.

        Con ideas of taxing jobs instead of requiring a royalty share was a terrible strategy.

          And ND/Liberano plans to kill jobs... hire friends to do the new paper work... to watch hard working AB families be destroyed... while High Tech union jobs are promised to save [is this supposed to be a JOKE] the world from... CLIMATE CHANGE... that: one volcano Big earthquake...; Coronal Mass Ejection... or meteorite... can wipe all Carbon based life off the face of this planet!!!

          And we are worried about increasing the c02 levels...

            I would say Jake has the best comparison. Going from $35.00 canola to 11.00. Buying/leasing the right equipment, paying good salaries, striving for the best production because you can afford it from $35.00/ bushel canola.
            On the flip side Farmers being what they are, would have astronomically run up the price of buying and renting. Inputs and machinery would also be astronomical because the industry cannot allow farmers to have that much profit.

                Hobby

                Since produced volume equals profit... the farmer in the US who harvests 100bu/ac Soybeans... and 300u/ac corn... ARE very profitable.

                As are canola growers here who harvested 50bu/ac Canola/peas/lentils etc.

                  I thought that was another "News" report from Rebel media Hamloc - are you a script writer for them?

                  Was at the local landfill this spring when a shiny new oilfield truck rolls in to unload over 100 as new treated fence posts. I asked them why they didn't drop them off at the local machinery auction site where they would have brought $5 each. Said it was company orders - the lease site they came from was a couple of miles closer to the landfill than the auction site. $500 blown right there is an indication of the excesses of the oilpatch so no, not a lot of sympathy for them.

                    Worked very little in patch.
                    First job was to go with foreman to NAPA and buy tool crib (8x20 container)full of hand tools. Enough for 350 guys for a 4 month job. After job was done we cut all tools in half with torch and put in scrap bin. Some were never used, made this old farmer cry!
