What about all the refineries we have in Edmonton and Ft. Saskatchewan, a few in Calgary and maybe some others. Aren't all the other NOTABLE oil reserves already being exploited?

Can somebody explain to me HOW oil companies would go about leaving? Would they abandon there multi-hundreds of billions of dollar refineries and machinery and so on, or pack them in a crate and take them with them? I would hope that they would just sell everything, and a Canadian company would buy it.

Thats interesting. Any idea why?

Hello! Why do the Conservatives routinely wipe the floor with other political parties in Alberta? Where do all these votes come from? I could see this thread being viewed as a troll, depending on how people decide to answer. Its a question Id genuinely like to know the answer to, so heres hoping for level headed and unbiased replies...

I certainly agree that Canada could be much more democratic. In addition to us always voting for basically the same two parties, voter turnout is abysmal, shameful even. We have so much potential as a country, but as long as people either dont vote, or simply default to voting for their same "tried-and-true" parties while waiting for everyone else to change rather than changing themselves, our government stagnates. You could compare our government and its parties to a body. If you work out one muscle (party) all the time, but never any others, it will become very strong, while the others become very weak. That right there, is something other than democracy.
