  • End Dependence on Foreign Oil!



    Canada?

    Mexico? Venezuela? Nigeria?

    We should encourage more Canadian production to weaken OPEC

      It doesn't really matter where the oil comes from. Buying oil from Canada has the same effect on Saudi Arabia and Iran as it does when we buy directly from them. Oil is fungible.

        Just raise the taxes on gas so the price reaces 2-3$/l - then your problem will be solved
        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

          Most Canadian oil is owned by American companies anyway. We don't even have a national oil strategy. Its pathetic.

            Yeah, what Canada needs is some kind of National Energy Policy.

            That will surely lead to Great Success.

              For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

                Nearly 3% comes from the U.S. Virgin Islands?

                  Asher is being sarcastic. Albertans, including our PM and his inner circle hate national programs.
                  Yes, we do. A national oil company, maybe we could call it PetroCan, would also be an asset. However, we will have to wait until Harper is replaced with someone sane.

                    I wonder why Albertans would hate a National Program to dictate how Alberta uses resources that are under its provincial jurisdiction.

                      I wonder why Canada's PM would care less about the nation than his hometown.

                        What does Alberta do with the oil money, exactly? I'm just curious.

                          Harper
                          Alberta's Economy
                          Albertans

                          As for what Alberta does with their oil money, they are forced to give it to the have not provinces, which not coincedently is most of the rest of Canada.

                              Why shouldn't you just let it be in the hands of private enterprise?
