It's the times we live in,a transitioning period from fossil fuels to many other energy ventures. Governments cannot decide which energy to adopt,and this transition will take decades. While this is happening they are in such a rush to rid the world of oil ,that they made it politically incorrect for financial institutions to freely lend to existing oil behemoths, let alone new ventures.I could go on,but the bottom line is this,Suncor is located in a stable country, in the best province possible and with new pipelines preparing to turn on taps to other countries ,and in combination with lower debt,fewer shares and increasing dividends coupled with cash coming into their treasury unlike ever before,NOW,is the time to buy before we even return to pre covid s/p levels.STRONGEST CANADIAN OIL BUY IN THE MARKET!!!!!
You said it all right there Wynjoe , the amateur politicians of today dance to the tune of the hour where a real leader picks the music . Thinks about that for a minute ......
Washington saw a country where the people were free , MacDonald saw the need for a railroad to knit Canada together , Eisenhauer saw the need for interstate highways for national defence (idea taken from Germany) , Kennedy saw a man on the moon by 1969 . Do you see where I'm going with this ? A leader has a plan , a vision of the future . A leader doesn't point fingers other than to say "we need you" , a leader rallies the troops , gives focus and purpose to the cause .
Until we get a new version of politician , you know , the kind with a backbone , that are willing to tell the hard truth and act decisively for the good of the ENTIRE country (not one neighborhood in Toronto) , we are in for a very uncertain future . But the one certainty will surely be higher oil prices !!!!
While I didn't agree with his politics and especially the National Energy Program, I did admire Justin's Dad since he had conviction and said what he was going to do and did it and said if you don't like what I am doing then vote for the other guy. Justin is more like his Mom than his Dad.
When I look at the current leadership in this country and think back to the Constitutional Table in 1982 and the people sitting around that table, I am saddened by how far down we have come in terms of quality of leadership in this country. IMO with the current trends in social media, it is unlikely that we will see that quality back for a long time.
It's not just social media although that is a big part of it in terms of politics. In the bureaucratic world, it started with bilingualism in the national capital region and that has since been put on steroids due to progressive correctness. One can no longer have an opinion, one has to have the correct opinion else one gets cancelled
you referenced Trudeau. You can argue the same for Mulroney and Chretien and to a lesser extent Harper. Mulroney implemented free trade and the GST because they were the right thing to do. Today, virtually nothing is done because it is the right thing to do. Proportional representation was the right thing to do and I often wonder how this country in general and specifically since the pandemic might have fared if Trudeau had followed through with proportional representation.
