“Imperial Oil has announced it will eliminate 20% of its workforce by the end of 2027, with most of the positions based in Calgary.”

Remember, we are extracting and exporting more oil than ever before.

Nobody likes to see people lose their jobs and livelihoods, but this is a good reminder that blind loyalty to an industry is not a good thing. Oil and gas does not ❤️ you back, no matter how many bumper stickers you have

Remember when the oil companies were saying if they didn’t get their pipelines or w/e they were going to move their operations elsewhere (as if the oil wasn’t, you know, in a fixed location)? Well guess what it doesn’t make a diff where they are because they are just transferring money to the U.S.

To a large degree, our hands are tied by trade agreements and a neoliberal structure that knows no borders. Maybe one of the most effective ways to achieve greater national sovereignty and wealth is through public ownership. But, that ain’t gonna happen under the current leadership.

Exactly. Smith screams about pipelines but we don't see anything meaningful from it. Most of it flows out of Canada.

Of course they are. They know perfectly well that oil and gas is a time limited resource, even if the Alberta government does not.

Hello Saskpower. Did you forget the reason you exist. It is not to make profits so the idiot Saskparty can divert more money to their friends. It is to provide power at a reasonable price for the citizens. Solar, wind, and batteries are the future. NOT COAL AND GAS
