    Frighteningly, many Albertans (even non evil ones) really believe that. Sadly, our current PM (who I have already stated is evil in response to the OP) also believes that.
    Harper also favours an Albertan company (Suncor) propping us the Syrian regime, just like he favoured an Alberta company (Talisman) that helped finance al-Bashir's campaign in Darfur.
    There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

        Petro Canada and a Canadian Energy Policy

        Harper, like Asher, would prefer a 'Made in the USA' energy policy, with the illusion of Alberta controling its oil & gas.
        I don't care what country investors come from, as long as they're paying royalties and investing in the province and employing its people.

        PetroCanada is a joke.

          Uh. Why wouldn't we believe that?

          The US pours money into Alberta. Ontario/Quebec exist to take money from Alberta.

          Doesn't take much to do the math.

          The one time in history Ontario/Quebec did control Alberta's oil was an unmitigated disaster, as discussed above.

          The sad thing is how utterly ignorant the rest of Canada is of how Alberta's energy sector works, and how demonstrably evil Ontario/Quebec have been to Alberta for years. They take billions of dollars each year, pass bills that would destroy jobs here, try to pass bills to cripple the economy...then act all smug and superior and dismiss Alberta's complaints as "whining".

              There's no ****ing way such a province with its resources and population and education system should be as poor as it is. They just spend their money incredibly inefficiently then drive away any and all business with restrictive rules. Hell, the Bank of Montreal is now headquartered in Toronto...
              You're retarded. If Quebec were a country of its own, it would be in the top 20 of GDP per capita. And yes, Quebec is rich in natural resources, but with oil prices, we have a negative resource balance.

              As for the fact that salaries are lower in Quebec, life also happens to be cheaper, thanks to redistribution schemes.

                If Quebec is so successful, it should stop taking Alberta's money.

                  Asher is rambling. He is putting aside that most of Alberta's investments into conventional crude had been done in the 70s; the early 80s were the burst of a bubble. Alberta's second boom happened around 2000, when oil sands became commercially viable again.

                  The NEP did hurt Alberta, but it's a factor amongst others. And he is persisting on the delusion that Canada is a Quebec/Ontario conspiracy against the Prairies, yeah, sure. The NEP was a non-issue in Quebec's elections. Trudeau put it in place, swept Quebec; Mulroney killed it, swept Quebec too.

                    You keep coming back with that troll, and I keep coming back with the same answer: I ****ing agree. There's a solution.

                      And back to the topic: Canada is constitutionally bilingual, and yet Harper already has two unilingual SC justices nominations under his belt. Awesome

                        Why the **** should they have to speak two languages to be judges? Almost all Quebeckers actually speak English, even if they pretend not to. I'd be shocked if there were many lawyers in Quebec who weren't bilingual.

                          Because citizens and lawyers have a constitutional right to plead in either language, you moron.

                            Sounds like all you're doing then is ensuring that virtually all judges come from Quebec. Pretty unfair, if you ask me.

                              The point is that a Canadian with aspirations to high-level civil service should learn French.

                                Why should they have to learn French? French is a largely useless language. The lingua franca is dead. The language of the world is english. Welcome to the 20th and 21st centuries.
