Garbage poll, including people who don't even live in Alberta. "The Prairies" sure. What do they know about oil and gas in Manitoba? Ideally you'd want to poll only people with at least 5 years experience in the fossil fuels industry.
Poll only people in oil? Are you serious? What would be the purpose of that? Maybe only rural Alberta should be able to vote in the provincial election and damn the rest. I think you have oil on your brain, and it's affected your thinking abilities.
So in your view a poll on the attitudes of Canadians to oil and gas tariffs should ask only Canadians who have worked for many years in the oil and gas industry? That's not a poll of Canadians, that's a poll of the oil and gas industry.
They're joking.
I do hope so. It's so hard to tell these days.
You can tell I'm not very good at thinking like Danielle Smith because I called it the "fossil fuel industry." In fact I am known to hold extremist views, such as that we should stop using oil and gas.
And not the oil workers who realize that it goes “We stand on guard for thee” and not “We stand on guard for me” right?
Back when I was a kid there were pumpjacks all over the southwestern portion of Manitoba, dotting the sunflower fields.
And we still pump oil today.
Manitoba has two oil and gas producing sedimentary basins with potential for oil and gas production, southwest Manitoba and the Hudson Bay lowlands.
Producible oil was discovered in southwestern Manitoba in the 1950’s. This area has produced oil since 1951.
All Manitoba's current oil production is located in southwest Manitoba along the northeastern flank of the Williston Basin, a sedimentary basin that also occupies portions of southern Saskatchewan, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana.
Manitoba produced 2,201,087.5 m3 of oil in 2020.
