The thing that Mr. Kenney's trying to get us to ignore is that we can't afford to burn anyone's oil to get the energy we need anymore. Not Putinist Russia's, not the Bakken deposits in the northern prairies of the USA, not the Saudis', nor our own in Alberta or off the Newfoundland Island coast...not anyone's oil from anywhere. But you being my audience-by-choice, you knew this yourselves already. Mr. Kenney probably doesn't like that fact either.

"We are going to stand up for an industry that has done more than any in Canada's modern history to create shared prosperity, social mobility and progress across this country," Kenney said Wednesday.

If Canada doesn't provide the energy others need, he said, "OPEC dictatorships and Vladimir Putin's Russia will."

*cough*BULLSHIT*cough*

No mention of the huge oil producers south of Canada's border whom he wants to do the refining?

Of course not. He's seen what's happening to Keystone XL, and he doesn't want attention drawn back to that until it's too late for the rest of us.
