Pretending the market is only limited to the local area is foolish.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yes, only if you do not undrtanmd how Canada needs an economic boost. These resources are developed by these companies, yes, but they belong to all of the people as their natural right, and on that basis oil is taxed at the well headby provincuial governments such as Alberta.The Canadian eceonomy does not need to be controlled by a bunch of Sheiks and Tartars far away,or a Dark Lord of the Greenie Sect of environmentalists, there should be a lower price for Canadian fuel inside of Canada.And soon there will be. Count on it.

Because you think the need is great, you believe commodities should be sold for less than value?

From each according to their abilities, to each according to their need. Is that how you see it?

but they belong to all of the people as their natural right

No. You don't get to claim ownership of the produced oil any more than you get to claim ownership of wheat. Those that invest to produce, reap the rewards during harvest.

oil is taxed at the well headby provincuial governments such as Alberta

At least we agree the oil has already been paid for. You want to take it from the owners, after they paid for it. And that payment was based upon the fungible price of the commodity, not a fake, forced local price.

Not at all, I do not think that a bunch of Muslim Sheiks who want to conquer the West should be setting a false value.Strategic destruction through “value” is ignored at the peril of the west. All we need to do is to continue to ramp up Western oil production and them boycott the SHeiks.Its no longer about “value’. per se. People like you do not get it.

Warfare is eceonomic and demographic these days.And we should be waging it wisely and properly.

My money should not be ending up in the pockets of some Sheik Walid over in some obscure emmirate , to fund his buggering life style.It should be ending up in the vaults of canadian corporations like Petro Canada, and in the vaults of the government.

Sit back and watch what the Sheiks are doing to Russia, and start looking over your shoulder, “value” boyo. Thanks but no thanks.

Yeah, I just spend decades of my career in the oil/gas/petrochem industry. I take the risks of boom and bust; spend months unemployed when the market crashes. I move my family thousands of miles to stay employed. I gain the large pay when the boom is going, the smaller pay when it is not and the no pay when the bust is great.

I take the risks, you want the rewards. Because you believe people desire a high standard of living based upon the work of others.

You want more government control in industry. I want less.

I get it just fine.

If you don't want money going to foreign nations, then encourage more production locally. You don't encourage people to invest and take risks, by offering them less than they get elsewhere.

You get more local production, by putting up less government regulations, not more.

No...I want the oil sheiks and muslims out of my life and out of my pocket.

We are at war and you do not even know it. During war, there are many adjustments and their should be. I think that Canadians should subscribe to purchasing only fuel produced in Canada, and pay for it in advance, also getting annual shares and bonds issued to the consumers by the corporations that produce oil. Nothing at all wrong with investment/purchase plans.

Your way would add so much profit into the hands of the Sheiks that they will be able to conquer the world. Just practice saying Alahuooey Whackybar.You will need it, and you may have full pockets but your grand daughters will not be able to attend school or drive motor vehicles, and will be taken into hareems to be brood mares for your conquerors.

No thanks.

I think the government should not dictate where the business are permitted to purchase products and feedstocks. I do not agree that gasoline refined across the US border at the closest refinery should be banned from imports to Toronto.

You want more government. I want less.

You believe other nations cannot compete with Arabs. I know that to be false. If we had less government interference in production, OPEC would already have less market share.
