This post doesn't spell the end of oil anytime soon but it does indicate that the market is dwindling, as it has been for years, however it does indicate that the move away from oil is accelerating. For years we have watched as the auto industry built cleaner more efficient vehicles but you ignored them.
I know what you are going to say, "what the hell do you know about Alberta"... well I know my grandfather owned a farm in Three Hills back in the late 1910's and I know my mom was born in Three Hills. I also know my grandfather sold the farm to one Pierre Paris in 1920 for the princely sum of $827.00. I would venture a guess that the decedents of Pierre Paris are still in Alberta and if they wish to see the document of sale I still have it and they are welcome to see it.
For years we watched as governments imposed legislation to curb emissions from coal and oil fired electric plants and still you turned a deaf ear.
Then came the EV revolution and you buried your head in the sand.
You have to stop listening to those who are in the pocket of Oil Barons, people like Scheer, like Kenney and like their promoters Stephen Harper and Preston Manning. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but, my fellow Canadians, it is going to get worse. Like any new idea science, engineering and increasing sales volume will make electric vehicles more affordable while the range they can travel on a charge is already increasing and now with quick charge terminals and the development of the electric highway the EV is here to stay.
China is building more and more EV's, installing wind and solar farms if you continue to ignore the changes coming down the road you will only punish yourself. WEXIT is not your road to salvation it is the next step to the demise of Alberta.
You can no longer sit back and hope for new markets, new pipelines or for Jason Kenney to pull the proverbial rabbit out of his a$$, the man has your number, he knows how scared and desperate you are becoming and he keeps feeding your fears.... stop letting him use and abuse your emotions.... listen to what is happening outside of Alberta, outside of your government and outside of your friends or they all will bring you down with them.
I want you to consider this and think very seriously about what I am saying. If Jason Kenney had any business sense at all he would be investing in diversification, industry other than oil. In the late 1980's and early 1990's the World economy hit the wall, Pittsburg PA had been devastated by the loss of it's steel industry then governor Bob Casey, unlike Jason Kenney, invested in promotion, diversification and development to attract new industry, sometimes the simplest of ideas are the best. They looked at their proximity to population and came up with and ad "Pittsburg, within 500 miles of 50% of North America's population". It worked, why? Because even Montreal and Toronto were within that circumference and companies setup in Pittsburg and today it is a thriving city.
I am telling you this for your own good and because I love you and want you to remain as an essential part of the Canadian family.... our family.
