How old is this? Ralph Klein hasn't been our Premier for almost a year! Anyhow, we Canadians should just keep the oil for ourselves. The Americans do not need it, at least they won't need it once the illegally take over Iraq. If we sit on the oil and don't make any deals I think for once we will come out on top. Look how bad we lost out on the soft wood lumber deal with the US! What about the US banning beef imports? I guess what I am trying to say is that the US does not have out backs and we have no obligation to them regarding oil. Let them sweat! We'll get more money from them in the end!

Paul: Wake up Jeremy! The article was published when? Typical Albertan attitude about a resource they no longer control. Do you know about the Free Trade Agreement? Maybe you've heard about NAFTA! Whatever.

Albertans teamed up with Quebec and gave us Mulroney and the Free Trade Agreement that gave the U.S. control over our oil industry. You now say we should just sit on it! It doesn't belong to us anymore. What planet have you been living on?

First they took Canada now they take Iraq.

Get with the program Jeremy.

Well, the good news is: Oil=dope and the world is addicted. Oil will rise to $100 a barrel in 2008. Natural gas could hold steady at $7 or higher. The bad news is the Canadian governments will tax the hell out of all this oil money. The oil sands are feasible (so far) to extract but hurt the environment and costly in other ways. For every Yin there is a Yang.

Paul, does it give you pleasure to belittle others? Sorry, I didn't see the date posted at the top. I have the contrast turned up on my pc and I can still barely see this grey on black print. My response to your bs about the free trade agreement; you basically took what I said and made it your own. I think you need to get with the program.

It is sad that the media is so obsessed with the price increases of Oil. If we in Canada have our supplies there should be no reason for Canadian Consumers to pay such rates. OPEC is an organization that stinks of monopoly, price fixing and all the ugliness that goes with that breed and their greed. Time for Canada to explore another option and to create an alliance to lower the cost of oil and challenge OPEC. Venezuela springs to mind as an excellent ally for Canada to mutually aid each other and end the reign of OPEC and what it represents.
