Oil man Carney? Let’s not get too captured just yet

...
But before everybody gets carried away with the dream (or nightmare for climate activists and former Carney green backers) that Canada is about to revive its fossil fuel prowess, one major cloud hangs over the prospect.

There will be no oilsands production boom unless the two obstacles noted by Morningstar DBRS are removed. The first — oil and gas prices — are beyond anyone’s control.

​II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
​As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
​The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...

Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
