RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Div hike or Debt reduction?Well look who is worried about windfall taxes all of a sudden!
The old sandbagger.
Just a reminder that the Liberals are the only western government not only not talking about imposing a windfall tax but have actually come out and stated that a windfall tax is unnecessary and would be counter-productive to inflation and the economy as a whole.
Let's not praise them for that. Let's speculate about when they might do it. (never)
I am going to worry about those governments (including the conservative UK) that already imposed windfall taxes.
Besides we all know the Liberal are already making a windfall off of oil and so do they.
Thanks Alberta!

Anyway, no matter , The nat gas industry will flourish and prosper irrespective of everything else. A simple matter of physics and economics. The only risk is a return to more coal firing, which fortunately is quite unlikely in Canada at least.
I do not spend a lot of time worrying about your thesis on renewables. They will be sorely needed some day so it is probably a good idea for governments every where to start planning for vastly greater quantities of nuclear plants
Meanwhile, any serious environmentalist should be concerned about bridging the gap between the completely outrageous amounts of coal firing on a Global scale and much more efficient nat gas firing
That can be started very quickly by the USA shutting down their coal fired plants ( I am sure Trudeau took up the issue with Biden LOL )
Anyway , just checking in and felt it necessary to mention that with a little bit of support our industry can be spectacular. Let us just hope that Trudeau does not someday decide to follow the Europeans with their insane Windfall taxes. Unforunately, if he is still there he most likely will when North American prices inevitably rise. His family history tells me that !!
