The party is just warming up....if oil keeps dropping you can forget about exporting our high cost tar oil....the yanks will be eating our lunch and dinner too.  I believe the Yanks may be correct in their assesment here so beware.

Perhaps giving our ravaged forests a break is a good thing for our environment. Perhaps time  to move on to something more Swisslike.  Heres a country with virtually zero natural resourses apart from plenty of shrinking glaciers for hydro, and their incredible natural infrastruce and unspoiled cities entertain throngs of visitors worldwide.

Perhaps time to rethink what kind of Canada we want for the future for our kids.

One last point...there are approx 28.000 abandoned mines here in Canada, with the most ominous being the Giant mine in NWT. Current remidiation is freezing the toxicity....that avenue will be closed soon, and the nightmarish scenario out of anything Stephen King would write will begin........yes time to rethink the whole equation,
