Even the Libs need to pay attention to this. There is an ever shrinking incentive for the world to invest in Canada. World capital is fleeing Canada with all its regulations, red tape, first nations uncertainties, and carbon taxes. These things are great for the enviros , who can use our own overly complex "approval system" to tie up projects like pipelines and LNG forever, or at least until they are not worthwhile anymore. These are great successes for the enviro money machines. (Note: I'm not saying CNQ has not got a good deal here - they may well have - but it will come with layoffs and other such "efficiencies".)

Unless we can make the oil/ gas industry more competitive with the US and elsewhere, Canada will continue to be a "no go" for foreign money. This will make us all poorer, which is just fine with the enviro groups. But hey, it will all be worthwhile, since Canada can obviously keep the world temperature increase to less than 1.5 degrees C all on its own.
