      Probably the worst time for him to say this with what is going on globally. Like he said we need to trump proof Canada but in reality the one way to do that is supporting the reasonable development of our natural resources(even oil).

      Well the BBC is now talking about the NDP. Whatever you think of Avi Lewis he at least will the NDP more attention and free media.

      So we have the NDP in Alberta and Saskatchewan disavowing the NDP Leader entirely. For reasons that are beyond self-explanatory.

      We have the Manitoba Premier playing nice publically but he still supports a pipeline to Churchill and a massive expansion of the Port of Churchill, which Lewis vehemently opposes.

      We have the BC Premier basically hiding in the shrubs and hoping that Lewis doesn’t notice his big plans for LNG Pipelines, support for another TMX Pipeline, and dreding of the Burrard Inlet, not to mention BC’s massive logging and mining sectors, all of which Lewis vehemently opposes.

      Um, Avi, my man, you are the one out of step with the band here. You move. Western Canada isn’t bending to your will and if you think they are you have another thing coming.

      You plan on selling equity cards as an alternative there Avi?

      Hard to believe this is a political party is a supposed first world country? Absolute clown show.

      I’m glad we have hilarious “equity card” clips from the weekend so that the people on this sub that claim the NDP isn’t pathologically obsessed with social justice have lost any legs to stand on.

      I feel like his policies could destroy Oil and Gas when it slips down in price again. Taxing exports to our main importer and no expansion to foreign markets is fine at $100 a barrel, but I would be curious how profitable they would be if we saw sustained prices in the $30-40 range. Or lower. I only bring this up, because he plans to use profits from these companies to fund many policies.

      Depends on how much he taxes it, but WCS already trades lower than pretty much all other oil. If WTI is at $40, and WCS is at $25, and you eat some tax to keep selling, and it costs you $20 to make a barrel…

      Hard conversations like “we shouldn’t develop this resource that the entire world wants and we have in abundance”

      Yeah, good luck with that.

      Sorry, Lewis, but Canada doesn’t run on equity speaking cards.

      Oil is a valuable resource and an essential industry to many of our provinces. The rift between the federal and Alberta & Manitoba’s NDP is only going to get worse if he ignores this fact

      Either anthropogenic climate change is real, which all credible scientists say it is, or we can continue to support Oil and Gas as primary industries. Believing the two things can coexist is madness.
