'Canada's Blown Multi-Billion $ Energy Opportunity'

[Oliver88]

Petronas Canada cancelled a $36 billion liquified natural gas project in BC. This project may have created up to100,000 jobs on the west coast. This should shock our politicians and Canadians (IMHO).

This triggered selling pressure on the loonie today . . . .

What kind of moronic groups would actually oppose a $36 billion investment and thousands of high paying jobs???

It couldn't be left wing NDP/environmental groups who want more social services is it??? 🙈

It sounds like a conservative that can't accept that they lost the election.

No horse I'm not pissed because we lost the election. I'm shocked at how f$&King stupid people are that want free stuff like child care, low taxes every gov program you can dream of would shut down a mega project that would pay for all their dreams. That's a real kind of special group. Your basically idiots.

My, my, saskfarmer, what an uncouth manner in which you declare that Liberalism is a mental disorder...

Did a paper on this once: the importance of teaching life-skills and economic theory to children.

Grab the popcorn because when the Fed's can't fund pensions they'll be crying for pipelines.... along with every other country in the world. The source of the next crisis is the solution to the last. Zirp is gonna put the baby boomer generation on the street.

Sask3 you will disagree but I thing the greedy oil workers are the ones that killed the oil patch, pipelines ect,ask klause if he is still a $1500 day man, free use of track hoes freebies galore. LIve by the song were in the money and it takes a lot to get along. As for farmers how many mill did you collect on the grip program,i was on the outside looking in because I had a feedlot and my grain went through cattle, but I member thinking if I sold the grain and fed off grip I would have been able to retire, so get off everyone back that don't have a 1/2 mill sprayer in the background of there selfie, and eligaly use roundup as a desiccant because can't be a bto without it.

Fjlip, the 34% that didn't vote are represented by the current PM so that makes pretty much a majority.

You don't vote, you have no say or position.

Chuck2 there is no doubt that the price for LNG has made it's export dubious at best but let's be realistic the BC NDP-Green coalition was not in favour of LNG projects, had clearly stated that it was to add more regulations and costs. It was the final nail in the coffin. The biggest problem we have in Canada is that we cannot approve or reject potential projects in a timely fashion. Look at Kinder Morgan, it has recieved federal approval but still faces a long list of court challenges including opposition from the new NDP -Green government in BC. The federal NDP is against any new pipeline projects. The 4 remaining leadership candidates are against pipeline develope and want to tax what is left into oblivion. Trudeau is in an interesting spot, he at least knows we need resource developement to move our economy forward but whether he is capable of doing that remains to be seen. More regulation and more tax just makes us uncompetitive.

The adage good times break more farms applies to oil too. Anyone begrudging guys making big oil wages is no different than blaming farmers and ranchers for high food prices.
