  1. Hey at least there was nothing we could have done to prevent this!

    Especially a plan that didn’t involve government money to help make the country more geopolitically stable.

    I’m glad we exhausted all our options!

    >It grants Irving an exception to rules that normally restrict foreign vessels from transporting goods between two Canadian ports, clearing the way for the company to receive up to 680,000 barrels of Newfoundland crude starting later this month

    that sounds like a stupid rule at the first place?

    I realize the foundational answer to this question is money and possibly regulation (I assume there’s a rule that only a Canadian flagged tanker can be used to move oil domestically) but I need to ask: Why is Irving buying from the US and ME when NL is literally next door with substantial oil extraction?

    All this talk about a east/west pipeline but refiners aren’t buying what’s a already available locally. It can’t because the NL oil is already spoken for, since they are able to buy it right now.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if we had energy east. The project that was most clearly in the national interest. A project that had national security implications and one that enbridge had ready to roll. Quebec scuttled it because they hate Alberta more than the thought of buying Nigerian and Saudi crude. Now your irrationality has come home to roost.

    When will the gov step in and do something ?
    The price was close to 2$ a litre near my place today.
    Other countries are taking mesures to alleviate the pressure, why aren’t we?
