OTTAWA -- Alberta Premier Jason Kenney took direct aim Thursday at federal politicians who say the oil industry in Canada is dead and focus should shift to renewables in the future.
"So we don't send a string of insults to Quebecers, we send billions of dollars, we send solidarity, we send friendship, we send our sense of shared values and shared interest. We also send energy that fuels the Quebec economy, and most recently we also sent millions of masks and gloves and even 25 ventilators to help our fellow Canadians get through .
"What is important was to hear the prime minister rather generously in his remarks acknowledge the sector is an essential part of this transformation," said Hyder.He said the argument that oil is dead is simply "immature" rhetoric without any dose of reality. Canada's oil industry was hit in March by a double whammy -- the plummeting demand for oil as billions of people around the world stayed home to avoid COVID-19, and an oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia which saw the two continue to pump out more and more oil.
The right investments can take the Canadian product above and beyond as the greenest and cleanest produced in the world, which will make it more desirable.
Lol.. poor snowflake, he just refuses to see the writing on the wall
You gotta plan for the inevitable. If they planned for oil downturns when thier economy was still booming, they wouldn't be in the predicament they are now. Now we're telling them to plan for if oil gets worse than it is now by diversifyin, but they're still resisting. Oh well.
Boycott Quebec!!
