CANADIAN OIL INFORMATION
Justin Trudeau Says Bill C-69 bill is necessary if
Canadians want to see their resources developed, he said.
"We're going to work to make sure that we're creating a system
Where Canadians have no say over the pipeline or oil sands
Where you don't have to pass a law to get a pipeline built,
You don't have to buy an energy project in order to de-risk it,
"We want an energy sector where the private sector has confidence
In getting our resources to markets."
Justin Trudeau Says Bill C-69 Needed To Avoid Another Pipeline Impasse
More than two-thirds or 71% of the ownership of oil sands production in
Canada is now owned by foreign entities

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley to Fight “Air Barrels”
As Prices Continue To Plunge
Alberta is losing billions every year because of "Air Barrels"
The government estimates Alberta is losing
$80 million a day due to discounts, to Fight "Air Barrels"
Because of lower prices for Canadian crude
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gives struggling oil sector $1.6B boost
Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says Ottawa's
New $1.6-billion aid package for the oil patch
"Offering Alberta business owners and industry the opportunity to go further
In debt is not any kind of long-term solution Alberta needs
"Especially not when we are a province and we are talking about an industry
That is very good at being profitable
If given the freedom to do so."
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is essentially tone deaf
And won't fix the pipeline bottlenecks crippling the province.
Allowing big players to continue to scam the system,
Costing Alberta Billions of Dollars every year
Moreover this problem has existed for years
Even if we had 10 Pipelines
Oil sands producers would be using “air barrels”
To game the pipeline system,
Reducing capacity, lowering bitumen prices and costing
The Alberta government royalty revenues.
While provincial and federal Governments have done little to end
The gaming of the pipeline system.
“But instead of fixing the problem the regulators
Allow big players to continue to scam the system,
Standing idly by while royalty payments to Albertans are eroded”
Alberta is losing billions every year
Canadian Natural Resources estimated last spring that as much as
125,000 barrels a day of capacity on Enbridge Mainline is running empty
Because of air barrel nominations.
Recent throughput statistics on Enbridge’s system Suggest it could be
Closer to 150,000 barrels a day.
We had 100 years of Alberta oil
Today 2018-10-11
Our Current Outstanding Public Debt of Canada is approximate:
$629,572,079,450.28 CDN.
Alberta
Will be $71 billion of debt by the time the
NDP face voters in 2019
Without factoring in the cost of the Olympics,
The Notley government has the province on track for
$96 billion in debt by 2023.
The Canadian budget makes it abundantly clear why
Because every drop of oil and the subsidies goes to
Foreign Entities and Big Businesses
Plus Oil giants pay billions less tax in Canada than abroad
Because the only people paying the debt off is you
Not Canada's natural resources
Canadians we will have nothing but Debt
Today
The Alberta Tar Sands have been dubbed the largest
And most destructive
Industrial project in human history
What would it cost you to clean up Alberta’s oil patch? $260 billion today
We only have $57.8 Billion to clean up Alberta’s oil patch
The governing Alberta NDP and official Opposition told the provincial legislature
Tuesday
Alberta’s oil patch isn’t an emergency now,
Because they have over 70 years to Clean it Up
The NDP and the United Conservative Party
Made the statements as they teamed up
To shut down emergency debate on the issue,
Proposed by Liberal MLA David Swann.
They have been granted until after 2100 to
Figure out how to clean up their tailings and reclaim the land.
After the Federal Court quashes the Trans Mountain Pipeline,
BC.NDP. Premier John Horgan
Has vowed to use every possible means to
Thwart a Kinder Morgan Inc. pipeline expansion,
Rachel Notley pulls out of national climate plan
The NDP. Government of Alberta
Approved a tailings management plan for
Suncor Energy Incorporated,
The oldest mining company in the Canadian tar sands.
By approving this plan,
Suncor will get an additional 70 years after their operations
Shut down to clean up the
Environmental mess that they have created over
60 years of oil extraction.
Today
The Alberta Tar Sands have been dubbed the largest
And most destructive
Industrial project in human history
These open, unlined ponds currently cover 220 sq. km,
An area of land equivalent to 73 New York Central Parks.
A single tailings pond the Mildred Lake Settling Basin
Has been identified by the US Department of the Interior
As the world’s largest dam.
Province-wide there are
150,000 abandoned or inactive wells,
Many of which date back 40 years.
Another 100,000 or so wells have not officially
Declared abandoned or inactive but have
Been paying no royalties to the
Provincial government and will likely also
Become the problem of taxpayers and Landowners.
The looming, multibillion-dollar cost of cleaning up
What would it cost you to clean up Alberta’s oil patch? $260 billion today
While Suncor’s mine will close down in 2033,
They have been granted until after 2100 to
Figure out how to clean up their tailings and reclaim the land.
But the Canadian governments
Continue to hand out billions of dollars in fossil fuel subsidies,
Without disclosing to the public the value of the financial supports and
Tax provisions available to the industry.
The total petroleum subsidies in Canada in 2011 was $20.23 billion
Today Canada's Fossil Fuel Subsidies is close to $40 Billion
All you have to do is look at the Government's graphs
You will see what is really happening in Canada
You will see
"Canada's non-renewable energy resources
Are clearly being sold off for ever-decreasing benefit,"
The only thing Canadians get is a Job to pay for roads, schools and hospitals
Canadians you will never be able to pay Canada's debt off
Today 2018-10-11
You are paying interest on the interest
On the federal debt to private lenders.
The Government of Canada borrows much of the monies to cover its shortfalls
From the private sector
The Cost of Government Debt in Canada, 2017
In 1974 the Basel Committee was established by the central-bank
Governors of the Group of Ten countries of the member central banks of the
Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which included Canada.
A key objective of the Committee was and is to maintain
“monetary and financial stability.”
To achieve that goal,
The Committee discouraged borrowing from
A nation’s own central bank interest-free
And encouraged borrowing from private creditors,
All in the name of “maintaining the stability of the currency.”
Our Current Outstanding Public Debt of Canada is approximate:
$629,572,079,450.28 CDN.
Rather than creating money through the Bank of Canada interest-free.
Canadian taxpayers have paid one trillion,
($1,100,000,000,000) in interest on the federal debt to private lenders.
This accumulated debt was monies borrowed to service the debt,
Essentially a payment of interest on interest
To understand how ridiculous the present situation is,
Consider the 1993 Auditor General of Canada report
(Section 5.41)3 which states:
This “subsidy” to the private lenders must end.
The solution to this problem is simply for the government to stop borrowing
Money from private lenders at interest and borrow from the
Bank of Canada at no interest.
The private banks should also be prevented from creating money.
That right should be returned to the People of Canada
Through the Bank of Canada.
This is why our Resource-Rich Canadian Government is Always so Poor
Alberta, produces over 2.5 million barrels of oil per day
The more oil and gas production go up
Royalties and Government revenue from oil and gas
Goes down to nearly nothing
Royalties could amount to merely 1 per Cent
And Canada provides more subsidies to petroleum as a proportion of
Government revenue than any developed nation on Earth
Because our Government gives away Canada's oil
For far less than any other Country in the World
Alberta government collected more in gambling and casino revenue
And alcohol Sales
That it did in royalties from oil companies
Today Canada's oil is 60% less than USA.
Because
Canada's oil is 71% owned by Foreign Entities
All the benefits and subsidies go to Foreign Entities and big businesses
Plus Oil giants pay billions less tax in Canada than abroad
Canada is number one in the World
Canada provides more subsidies to petroleum as a proportion of
Government revenue than any developed nation on Earth
Bloomberg has called fossil fuel subsidies "Canada's dumbest policy"
Wasteful, expensive, environmentally destructive, and unnecessary.
Two-thirds of Canadians are strongly opposed to
Federal and provincial governments using public dollars
To subsidize oil and gas companies.
Despite this significant public opposition,
The Canadian governments continue to hand out billions of dollars in fossil fuel subsidies,
Without disclosing to the public the value of the financial supports and
tax provisions available to the industry.
The total petroleum subsidies in Canada in 2011 was $20.23 billion
Today Canada's Fossil Fuel Subsidies is close to $40 Billion
PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU
Trudeau's government spent C$4.5bn (US$3.45bn)
To purchase the
Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline.
He made the pipeline a National Security Issue
It's in the national interest of Canada
To keep Canadians working
The Government needs these Jobs to keep our economy going
The Canadian oil and gas industry
The big Five gets all the oil and the subsidies they are doing just fine,"
Suncor, CNRL, Cenovus, Imperial and Husky have remained
"incredibly profitable corporations,"
Banking and paying out to shareholders $13.5 billion last year.
"There's no question that the price crash had a major impact on the industry in Alberta
Most importantly on the almost 20,000 workers who lost their jobs just in 2015,
Canadian government continue to hand out billions of dollars in fossil fuel subsidies,
This is what the Canadian Government does not tell Canadians
If you look at the second Government's graph you will see
What the real cost are for these good paying jobs
This is not counting the $ 40 Billion in Subsidies that is paid to the
Canadian oil and gas industry
The Canadian oil and gas industry now employs about 180,000 workers,
Alberta, produces over 2.5 million barrels of oil per day
Because every drop of oil and the subsidies goes to
Foreign Entities and Big Businesses
Just to keep one full time worker [working] for a year
It costs Canada 5,064.444 barrels of oil
When the pipe line gets build it will pump out three times more oil out of Alberta
Then It will cost three times more oil
Just to keep the same worker [working]
Because every drop of oil and the subsidies goes to
Foreign Entities and Big Businesses
Canadians we will have nothing but Debt
And you will still be paying some of the highest gas prices in the world
The Real Truth is
The only thing Canadians get is very few Jobs to pay for roads, schools and hospitals
This is why Canada is the next Argentina
This really has to end
Canadians you will fight for a Tree and we will fight for a Whale
It's time we fight for Canadians
Because if you don't Canada will be the next Argentina
Canada should be one of the Richest Nations in the World
But our Resource-Rich Canadian Government is Always Poor
The current population of Canada is 37,043,982 as of
Thursday, October 11, 2018,
It means every Canadian Man . Woman and Child in
Canada pays over 40 Billion Dollars to the Energy Sector per year
Fossil fuels subsidised is rising by $10m a minute, says IMF
Our Children will be so far in debt in 10 or 20 years
There will not be enough money in Canada to pay the Fossil Fuel Subsidies
Many Canadians accept the situation as normal,
Something that can't be changed
.
Yet they do not question the absurdity of this reality.
Please read this and send it to all your friends
Because this really has to stop
Because if we don't Canada will be the next Argentina
The only way this will stop is when everyone knows the truth
