The BC Leftist government, which says it will do anything to thwart even a legally approved resource project, was just the final straw.

Resource projects get built when prices are low, when there are gluts, etc. just as when there are boom times.  These are long term projects.

While Canada is happy to have its resources stay in the ground, others (like the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria) will surely continue to meet the demand - and bring on more supply to boot.

Canada is the world's mark - you better hope your gold plated pension is fully funded.
