Do you think Fred, that you might be able to get this article to Danielle Smith in Alberta? She certainly could use a wake up because it looks like she is completely missing the boat.
I guess I should have made myself clearer. My fault. I was thinking along the lines of renewables, something that Premier Smith has unabashedly fought against. We will always need oil, of that there is no doubt. The main goal should be to reduce as much as possible our reliance on it.
Thanks for a good article, Geezer. If this war escalates, then we’re all in for a world of hurt!
Appreciate it, Scott.
If this goes beyond posturing, the fallout won’t stay in the Middle East.
Oil, shipping, inflation, markets... everybody gets dragged into that mess.

To be fair Ron, she’s been making that exact argument...
saying Middle East instability proves Canada needs stronger energy infrastructure and export routes.
The real issue is whether the rest of the country wakes up before the lesson gets expensive.

Got you now, Ron... and fair clarification.
Yes, oil isn’t disappearing tomorrow.
But pretending diversification is optional is short-sighted.
Smart countries use what they have while building what comes next.
Betting everything on one sector is how economies get blindsided.
