Oil is all that counts. The rest of the economy can go to - - well

edmontonsun.com - Opinion/Comment - Much-lauded royalty plan now uncertain


Mr Premier,
I'm not going to drill because you want me to pay taxes (royalties) until you lower my taxes I'm going to hold my breath! It worked with mom and dad and I'm sure it will work with you too.
I caused the slow down in drilling by holding my breath it's not the fact that nobody wants the gas and oil that we would be drilling for.
I know that if you lower the royalties that demand will increase, I promise. You see the recession is not real. We, the oil companies that drill for oil made it happen to punish the Alberta people for trying to get more money out of their oil resource.


Come on Ed Stelmach think about it. The oil will still be there next year.
Alberta has survived oil slumps before and will again. When the demand increases they will drill, royalties of not. Take some time, a year or two. See what happens.

Take a breath, let them hold their breath.
