CANADA’S ENERGY CITIZENS: We wanted to show you a headline from this morning


CALGARY:  March 12th, 2019 

U.S. the new oil king as Canadian outlook deteriorates: IEA ... The International Energy Agency’s latest oil forecast sees diverging prospects for the two neighbours’ oil and natural gas industries

One of the main reasons why? Continued delays in building new pipelines.  This is Canada in 2019. How did this happen?

Canada sits on the third largest known reserves on the planet. We are global leaders when it comes to environmental responsibility, innovation and safety. Past surveys* have shown that the world would choose Canadian oil and energy products before any other country in the world.

*People around the world see Canadian oil and natural gas as the energy of the future, according to a new global research survey.

But here’s the cold reality.

A lack of leadership or direct confrontation from political leaders has meant tens of billions of dollars of investment evaporating out of Canada. A range of new policies have made our country less competitive while we let foreign oil continue to sail into our country without the same regulatory challenges.

Those are jobs for all Canadians right across the country that have disappeared and are instead being sent to other countries like the United States, Saudi Arabia or Nigeria. And that’s billions more in government revenues that should be going to things like new roads, hospitals and schools.


To make things even worse, the federal government is piling on with new legislation that will make building new pipelines nearly impossible with bills C-69 and C-48.



That’s unacceptable.

Tell senators and the federal government that Canadians do not back these bills and it’s time to bring investment back into Canada.



Send a letter now ... Take action ... Fight for Canada’s future.

Interfor Moves Headquarters Out of BC as Forestry Crisis Continues

NDP policies are driving businesses out of B.C., and the forestry industry just suffered yet another calamity. Interfor, a BC company founded more than 60 years ago and now one of the world's largest lumber producers, is moving its headquarters from Burnaby, BC to Atlanta, Georgia. As BC’s forestry sector faces mill closures and mounting uncertainty, this move is another warning sign that the crisis is deepening and conditions are fatal. “This is the NDP’s record: endless job losses with no hope in sight for the forestry sector,” said Ward Stamer, Shadow Minister for Forestry. “Interfor still has three mills in BC which are now in serious jeopardy, and it is likely we will see even more companies pull out of BC. The NDP government is suffocating the forestry industry with high taxes, excessive regulations, and permitting delays, while DRIPA has made it impossible to plan for the future.” “Decisions like this are sadly not surprising given the NDP’s indifference if not hostility tow...

Okanagan Farmers Face NDP-Created Water Crisis ~~ BC Conservatives

Okanagan farmers are facing a water crisis as government-imposed restrictions threaten to kill their crops and destroy one of B.C.’s most important agricultural industries. In perhaps the most water-rich province in the country, our farmers have been left high and dry by the NDP government. For nine weeks, Okanagan and Shuswap farmers have proposed solutions, only to be met with NDP foot-dragging. Now forest fires have come to these regions as they are simultaneously reckoning with a water crisis that has been made worse through years of government inaction. Vernon-area farms have lost 70 percent of their water, while Kelowna and Summerland growers face severe restrictions. This situation is unacceptable and cannot continue. Ian Paton, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, said the NDP is once again forcing farmers to pay for its own failure to plan. "Farmers and ranchers must be listened to when decisions affecting their livelihoods are made, and under the NDP, they aren’t," said...

NDP Hypocritically Admits Natural Gas Power Was Needed All Along ~~ BC Conservatives

The NDP just got caught buying back the exact kind of power plant it spent years telling British Columbians they didn't need. The NDP government announced today that BC Hydro is purchasing the Island Generation natural gas facility in Campbell River, an admission that its electrification-only energy policy was never realistic. The 275-megawatt plant was originally privately owned yet kept to a minimal backup role under the NDP, operating just 15 days a year on average. Now, with demand outpacing what the NDP's plan can support, the government is spending taxpayer funds on the very gas capacity it once treated as obsolete. "You cannot electrify everything and pretend natural gas doesn't matter," said Larry Neufeld, Shadow Minister for Energy.  "Buying back a gas plant they once wrote off is proof their own plan couldn't keep the lights on. It's a step towards more energy reality, but the government needs to go further and scrap the impending province-w...
