Why does it have to be "somebody's fault?" Shit just happens, sometimes. It's not like they shut down all the other economy.
So they got a premium price for land that was unused. It seems you are determined to manufacture an outrage where there is none."shit just happens"
. It flows down hill too unless some uses a pump...then there's virtually no limit to the amount of shit that can flow.
Now, who would be the "one" responsible for making such mishandled, misguided deals??
I wonder who sold our land out from under our own noses before anything could be said or down about it....?
I wonder who that might be?
Our government is to blame fully. Relying on dirty oil, fear mongering about terrorists, and participating in un sanctioned wars. Next thing you know Canadians will be fighting in Ukraine. Harper needs to go, don't you agree Red?
I think Red is an American...probably doesn't get the hate on we have for our fascist dictator.
huh ?
ya...this stuff is pure gold eh 
the cost of producing oil out of the sands is over 30 dollars a barrel...
The question I have to ask myself is "Is that really the cost?" The oil companies probably said that. But that's beside the point. I think the whole idea is to keep inventory high and the price low to put as big of a squeeze on Putin as possible. Oil production is a massive portion of their GDP.
Harper is taking his lessons from the American Republican party. He's learned them well, so perhaps it's time to try a more extreme track; start calling him a fascist in public and make him defend his record against that charge.
Buy long on oil futures now, you'll be in the money by summertime.
Try $4.80 for that same gallon here in Canada. Funny how oil prices have dropped From $100 a barrel to $50 and I still pay the same at the pump.
That's crazy.
Not a lie, a real phenomenon; summer gas needs to have lower vapor pressure, this makes it more expensive.
