But the energy companies have all the money!
Some are Chinese owned
Robert Roskell hey at least China invests in Canada’s oil. Liberals want to shut it down. Something is better than nothing.
As long as all Major Sports of North America get most of this bailout I will be satisfied
too little too late
Why are flights still coming in from China 🇨🇳 ,the country that lied about the virus 🦠 the country that never quarantined itself (only Wuhan)??
The oil industry, let it die.
Yeah let all industries die!! Mining and manufacturing and agriculture too they all use fossil fuels. Aerospace and tech need to die too because they also use fuel and petrochemicals. Too bad it will mean no more development of any green technologies but it will be worth it to keep the environmentalists happy. Of course it will also mean that there will be no new bicycles or kayaks or anything else. Start breeding horses!! Ah but they will need food and we had to kill agriculture already. Hmm this is a tough one. All hail the Stone Age!!
So now, we’re paying for the greedy corporations’ mistakes and getting nothing in return. The price of fuel will sky-rocket so we pay more to get them richer. Please make sure you have the funds in advance from these irresponsible corporations before they pollute our country.
Isn’t it interesting that the liberal government did everything they could to put road blocks in the way of these small producers. Now that they have all gone broke, Justin comes in like a hero looking like our saviour. This might play well in Quebec and Toronto, but if he would have left this industry alone maybe most of these small companies would still be in business and could afford to shut in these wells? Not saying orphan wells are not an issue for farmers, but what created them in the first place and what part did the Liberals play in their creation?
