Regular reminder that we don't need the fossil fuel industry, fossil fuel corporations need us.

And Alberta has the nerve to complain about being part of Canada?

They'll kill the planet for a nickel,,,, maybe even a penny if those are still around

Imagine what good could come from $29 billion dollars being invested back into the country.

This boggles my mind. The government also gives funds for them to clean up orphaned wells and they give us all a FU. What are they gonna do without the subsidies? Leave the country?

It’s not a business, it’s a scam

dtann.bsky.social•57 days ago

Anyone who believes that any corporation let alone oil and gas companies should receive subsidies is dumb and should be ridiculed and mocked in public

I knew it was bad, but just under $1000 from every Canadian is insane. Yet, we get told over and over that our future is oil and gas. Seems they've got it backward. We are the source of a wealthy future for oil and gas. No more corporate welfare.

Goddamn, now that Drumph is ripping up the global economic structure, now is the time to start building petroleum processing capacity and planning for the nationalization of oil & gas.
They’ve collectively shown to not be good corporate citizens.

The love this country gives to oil and gas is like an abusive relationship. No matter how many tax dollars they get to subside their already profitable companies, they insist they are still mistreated.

That’s why in the early 2000’s I joined the Green Party. Removing O&G subsidies was a prime mover

Its corporate capture, people are getting paid.

The oil and gas industry are welfare queens. Then cry foul when we ask them to clean up their abandoned or orphaned wells *talking to you W Bread Wilson*

Christ. No wonder our ER wait times are so high; we are diverting public money to private enterprise..don’t tell me how we end up benefitting bc no one is coming to pay my bills.

And what province did most of this go to?

Oh right, the one that whines continually about how unfairly they’re being treated.

Danielle must forgot this when she talks about Alberta being annexed.

shaner38.bsky.social•57 days ago

Oh look. There goes Ottawa, killing the O&G industry again with their... free fucking money.

Socialism for the rich, rugged free market capitalism for the rest.
