The rest of Canada is not jealous, but ENVIOUS. People always screw these 2 words up. ENVIOUS is when you want something you don't have that someone else has, e.g.: "The rest of commie socialist Canada is ENVIOUS of Albert's wealth." JEALOUS is when you are defensive of what you already have, e.g.: "Albertans are jealous of their wealth, and don't wish to share it w/the rest of commie socialist Canada."
GOT IT?????
So to what degree is this just Alberta having incredible natural resources, vs the Alberta regional govt being well run?
AlQanada is jealous?
Of course, when Alberta complained about getting the short end of the stick with the wheat board, nothing happened. Ontario and Quebec have been messing up the country for the hearty Albertans, great Canadians, and better than Kerry-loving Americans.
P.S. Wife is from Grande Prairie, Alberta.
I know. It's better not to be so blatant with the Alberta surplus otherwise the Ottawa government will create The National Energy Policy Part Deux and bring Alberta down to its knees (again).
The rest of Canada is jealous ??? What a crock. Who's jealous? The only comment I've heard was "good for them." And that was in Ottawa from a mail carrier.
Alberta is rich in petro dollars but Sask. especially the FALC region around Prince Albert has some of the largest diamond "DeBeers" and mining companies buying claims of hugh amounts of land.
Sask has as much crude tar/sand oil as Saudi does right now and always has but there has not been an extraction process until the last few years. The biggest player is a small Las Vegas, NV company called CMKX which has about 1.8M to 1.9M areas in and around the FALC region. Their claims totally surround DeBeers. In 2001 it was thought that they had kimberlite formations "the formation that produce diamonds" with over 200 anomalies with one said to be 8mile X 5mile, then in the past 6 months tar/sand oil hs been discovered so not only is Alberta rich in oil Sask. has what some are saying as the richest rare earth minerals ever found in such a concentrated area or the 16 "IUM" minerals with a large deposit of Uranium.
I bet the US would much rather spend out petro dollars on Canadian crude then middle east crude. This has gotten so big Halliburton is looking at potential work with their oil extraction process.
Canada could very well be the next super power in minerals/oil/natual gas and diamonds that are said to be of color and clarity never seen before because it's geograhical location as opposed to say South Africa.
It is almost like a modern day mineral race in Sask and up the NWT. Keep an eye on Shore Gold, Kennsington "Recent merger" Petro China is looking and CMKX along with USCA and Gemm. It is time America drilled for it's own crude or buy it from our friend Canada instead of being held to the middle east's games.
I as an American would much rather send my money to my friends in Canada.
able
Alberta needs to form it's own nation.
I smell a fifty-first state.
Yeah, but Danny Heatley is gonna score a whole bunch of goals for the Senators this season.
