Donald Trump Jr. mocks PM Trudeau on Twitter

Alberta has 7% unemployment and about a hundred thousand Oil Workers out of work due to, in part, low oil prices, lack of ability to get oil to markets and the recent Federal Bill that prohibits oil tankers above 12500 tons to take oil out of Vancouver. The same law does not apply to the east coast of Canada so this purposely prohibits Alberta oil from being exported to China or India. Even the environmental radical government of Washington state purchased oil from Russia instead of buying it from Alberta. We could have shipped it by rail like we are trying to do now to get around the oil Log Jam caused by litigation.

I just don't get how the politicians think these policies are good for anyone.

Its all about feeling good. Its sort of like this BS "Opiate Epidemic" its actually degenerate addicts on heroin that are dying..not prescription pills ( Heroin is actually cheaper than oxy on the streets). And the ones that are suffering ARE chronic pain patients. No its about feeling good. Even the documentary on HBO was BS. I am here the only person in that documentary that told it like it was, was the hooker. She's dead. Its called feeling good. Same is true for any corporate community outreach. Or plastic--people don't realize that 97% of ALL plastic pollution comes from the 3rd world and 99% in the Pacific Ocean comes from Pacific Rim countries. So much for the abuse of plastic straws. Feel good nonsense. Nothing more than the colonial White Man's Burden wrapped up in PC.

Your link does not lead to the article cited. The Oil Tanker Moratorium Act (Bill C-48) prohibits oil tankers carrying more than 12,500 metric tons of crude or persistent oil along BC’s North Coast. It replaces a voluntary ban that was in place since 1985. After decades of fighting to protect Canadian waters and fisheries from oil tankers, CFN-GBI Nations and other coastal communities celebrated the law's passage earlier this year. But it looks like the Alberta unemployment rate has been about 7% since Nov 2015, nearly 4-years before the Alberta "tanker ban" law was passed. I believe the US also imports more oil from Canada than any other source even with the current tanker ban and pipeline litigation, so I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

Oil market fell in 2015. Canadian Dollar went from .94 to .74 US Dollar. We have never been out of this recession while Canada had more like 5% Unemployment. I lived here, aside from a deployment ti Afghanistan since Nov, 2006.
