I work in the oil industry and it has been pretty slow around here recently. The company I work for is one of those Investment Trust companies that John Rew is talking about. It makes sense to me that they would be short of money if their unit values are way down. It is another example of how no matter which party is in power in Ottawa they abuse Alberta.
The fact is they don't care about us, they just want our money. I'm voting for Alberta independence.
John thinks Albertans should get an oil dividend. That sounds good to me. I have heard that in Alaska they had a referendum on the issue some years ago and the people voted to have the money paid directly to them rather than let the government spend it on their behalf. Our Government wastes so much, they are far too irresponsible to be spending our money. John is right, we should have a referendum here too and see if Albertans would like to receive their oil royalties directly.
