Three truths:

Iraq invaded Kawait for the same reason the United States invaded Venezuela.

Maduro is a piece of shit.

Trump has forever ruined the United States.

Pretty irrelevant to the topic.

Seems pretty relevant. Did you read the comment before responding?

You think I just reflixively said your comment was irrelevant?

Could you elaborate how these points are relevant to BC's position re pipelines vs refineries?

Oh man. Listen, you’re obviously a contrarian and I’m obviously not your teacher.

Try reading the article then reading my comments. Try not to reply to me, though. I find you insufferable and might just block you. You add nothing to my experience here.

I want us to be distancing ourselves from fossil fuels but I think its better for us to refine it here than to ship it overseas. Like at least its combustion will be subject to our emission rules.

If the price of oil is about to tank and Alberta's about to get fucked out of the industry, why aren't we talking about investing into clean alternatives. The public doesn't want fossil fuels anymore. I'm so over this shit.
