 Alberta oil industry wary of NDP government Alberta's oil industry has been mostly diplomatic with the NDP government in charge. But this week, one company decided to dial up the pressure on the new premier.Commentsview comments in forum Page 1 2 You need to be a member of CKA and be logged into the site, to comment on news. |

A 45 second look at the comments was enough.
Well, that didn't take long.

How often do I have to warn people about reading comments on the CBC?
All irrelevant until the dicks on the west shore of the Persian Gulf turn the taps down from fully-open to halfway. The industry got clobbered for the last year under the Tories, and they'll keep getting clobbered until the sons of bitches in Arabia knock it off with their glut tactics. The Dippers will end up with all the blame, even though they'll have nothing at all to do with who's creating the overall problem.
Does every post about politics have to include you crying about Harper and the oil sector?

Why not? He workes in the oil industry and probably knows more about it than most of us!
Call when you have a story CBC...
No biggie. If he's too dense to figure out that I was referring to the Alberta Tories, in a thread about Alberta no less, and not the federal party then it's not worth getting into a yap fight with him over it.
The only dense person here is you, Thanos.
You've been on a bitchy tirade for the last while taking aim at anyone who's in power. It's hard to keep up with who you're bitching about today.
It's not the fault of Harper and Prentice for the current problems in the oil sector.

OTI is the very last person who should complain about other people bitching... after you, of course.

I figure you're about the only one around here that interprets my blasting the scum in Saudi Arabia as a personal attack on Harper and Prentice. I'm plenty pissed at Harper for various reasons and I'm pretty happy that Prentice got flushed but nowhere did I ever blame either of them for what the Arabs are doing. If you're saying that I did then all you're doing is bashing away at a strawman for no more reason than you, at any given time from what I've observed of your posts, feel like being an obstinate prick who gets off on picking fights for fun.

Really?
You blasted Harper for not stepping in to stop what the Saudi's are doing. You wanted him to step in, like he did with the auto sector to save jobs....etc, etc, etc.
This is what you've been doing lately. Ranting and raving. Placing blame all over Canadian politics about the state of your life and career and then you have the nerve to come here and say you haven't been attacking Harper or Prentice and take a jab at me for picking a fight?
Get a grip buddy.
How about you step back and remember what you've written.
Notably:
I won't be voting Tory because I think they deserve to be taught a lesson, especially over their inaction over the employment problems being caused by the fall in oil prices.
and
I'm the Thanos that finally grew up in the last few months and found out the hard way that my years of supporting the angry conservative politics of my parents and grandparents has literally left me with almost nothing. I'm certainly no lefty but I'll be fucked if I ever support this kind of disconcerned and disinterested conservatism ever again.
and
Once again, if Mr. Harper was able to put his free market ideology to the side in order to save Ontario auto-sector workers why was it impossible to do eight years later to save Alberta oilpatch jobs? What gives with this anyway? Are we the only genuinely disposable workers in this country but all the others, from the auto industry to mining to fishing to farming to forestry to finance, can all expect the government to come running to their rescue when their industries have a crisis?
and
I would have expected to be put out of work and to lose everything I had if the government was run by some hate-filled anti-Alberta psycho like Tom Mulcair. I certainly didn't expect it to happen when it's being run by Stephen Harper, not when it's Albertans like me that put him into the job that he has today.
and
Tens of thousands of people in the oil patch lose their jobs and the government reaction is next to nothing. Harper better think twice about calling a federal election this year. His leadership during this crisis has been less than abysmal and he'll get nailed as badly as Prentice is going to be nailed tomorrow if he makes the same mistake of assuming that it's fucking business-as-usual among Alberta voters anymore.
Who's the obstinate prick now?
