A Little Wisdom from our Friends

On the topic of energy in Canada, two SDA commenters offered some pretty profound common sense wisdom that you'll rarely see in the mainstream media:

Some myopic Canadians can't seem to grasp that oil, gas and potash provide most of the revenue that pays for all those government benefits they believe they're entitled to. We're fortunate to have a government run by a Conservati­ve Party and a Prime Minister who puts Canadians first. If they don't like that then they can move to America, a socialist paradise with a failing economy. - - North of 60North of 60 - you make an excellent point. And, sadly, many (most?) Canadians think that money just appears out of the ground, and have little idea where Canada would be without fossil fuels and potash. Personally, I would like to pull up to those people's houses, disconnect the gas lines, and tell them to grow their own food. We are becoming a fundamentally unserious nation. People just don't "get it", and it worries me, a lot. - - Erik Larsen
