climate-change4.jpgHow does climate change affect Western Canada’s energy producers?

Is Global Warming an alarming environmental wake up call for mankind or is it the biggest money scam of all time? Are you a Denier, a believer or a bystander? Under the current pressure, should the oil industry known in environmental circles as “Big Oil” run for the hills and close up shop, or should they make a firm stand against the movement or adapt and just go along for the ride? Is the environmental movement the new religion of the times? How do all these factors affect Western Canada and its energy based economy?

There is an easy solution to the energy producing global warming dilemma, the answer has been around for over fifty years and is cost effective, reliable, green and not dependent on unstable foreign countries. Other than saving the planet, Clean Coal technology is the responsible and economically smart way to proceed.

Provincial leaders after studying the issue actually become more confused, take for example Danny Williams of Newfoundland. The reason equalization is so confusing is because the concept and formula is so complex, even experts have a hard time figuring it out.

Warning to Central and Eastern Canada, you may be cut off

Western CanadaUntil now Western Canadians have been very patient with the rest of Canada (ROC). Western Canadians even though, underrepresented in the country have been paying more than their fair share. Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan have quietly sat still while multiple billions of dollars every year flow east.

How long can this situation last before the West takes action? Separatist movements are being motivated by current events and have already started organizing themselves. The West has been tolerant with the Prime Minister in the hopes that he can fix Canada, unfortunately the current government does not have a majority and therefore is catering to the socialists and extremists in Canada.

If Central and Eastern Canada continue to insist on implementing Kyoto Carbon Taxes, Cap and Trade system, the West will be forced to retaliate. The West can not afford to be manhandled and pay the bills at the same time. If you think this comment is just a rant, you may be surprised. Quebec only threatens to separate to receive perks and benefits from the rest of Canada, however when Westerners get serious about separating its not going to be a threat, its going to be a reality.
