@NeiOCo Oil produced in Saskatchewan and upgraded at the Lloydminster Upgrader is attributed to Saskatchewan for production, royalty, and export statistics purposes.
English
Most of Canada's exported crude oil originates from Alberta (around 85–91% in recent years), with much smaller shares from Saskatchewan (roughly 8–9%) and Newfoundland and Labrador (typically 2–4.5%).

@ikwilson Well a portion comes from Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. Also a large portion comes from Sask and is upgraded in Alberta.

@CollinsforTX Trump has taken more vacations this year than the last two president in 12 years.
English
Joe Biden only worked from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
He spent 40% of his presidency on vacation.
He used the autopen thousands of times.
He let 10+ million illegal aliens invade our country.
Yet Democrats want to invoke the 25th Amendment against Trump because he is eliminating Iran’s nuclear capabilities once and for all.

@thegoat2112 You guys tried to tank when we got McDavid you didn’t win the lotto. You also did tank to get Matthews and your team had why 4 top 5 picks? Don’t be sour cause you let Marner go for nothing and everyone is going to run Matthews and Nylander out of town too.
English
Lol, imagine if the the Oilers had to toil in a real division and not the "pillow fight division " . Given first 4 overalls, gifted McDavid, all to be dog walked by a real team in a real division every year...kudos...

@bruce_arthur Two playoff series won in a decade Bruce. Don’t need to go much past that, for me.

@Zone3Garden I’m not speaking for Alberta the polling numbers are there for you to look at too. And every time I’ve voted in Alberta in my life I’ve had to show ID if i wasn’t previously registered. Take your conspiracy theories south.
English
@NeiOCo So you can speak for Albertans but not me? We will find out in October who is correct at this time.
ID is now required and those signing must be able to vote in Alberta. No ID requirements (like forever Canada) would have made it much easier.
English
Probably the fact that we want to separate from Canada.
Graham Green@GrahamG22047543
Wild stat. What's making Alberta so attractive to Canadians?
English
@Zone3Garden I’m telling you what polling said. Also Alberta government reduced signature requirements to get referendum on ballot. So congrats on hitting the minimum. Most Albertans don’t want to leave Canada.
English
@NeiOCo As opposed to shrinking Ontario which is the heart of Canada & its govt?
I saw a recent poll for the likelihood of a referendum being held which was at ~66% - released AFTER Stay Free Alberta declared they have enough signatures to trigger a referendum... only 34% wrong. 🤷♀️

@dbl11s3 @Woll4Vezina Not last time I was there last season. And if so where in the building

I’ve been to 150 jays games lifetime, pls let me know where this $4.56 beer is.

If the price of beer has changed at your favorite MLB ballpark ... let us know 🍺

"Alberta", not Canada, is the third largest exporter of oil.
Heather Exner-Pirot@ExnerPirot
Canada is the third largest oil exporter in the world. Insulating our domestic oil prices from global prices would mean exporting less oil! That would be a scandalous act in a global energy crisis. Canada has no strategic reserves to help ease this crisis, what we do have is the ability to keep putting our barrels into global markets and getting them to places where the scarcity is greatest = price is highest.

@ikwilson Well a portion comes from Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. Also a large portion comes from Sask and is upgraded in Alberta.

@therealmrbench @pamela_gorrie Because in Canada it has to be Halal?
Because even though Canada breeds its own chickens they’re only for export and we import ours from the furthest and most expensive place possible?
Because Carney implemented a new chicken tax due to chicken farts killing the environment?
English
Can someone explain why chicken is:
$8 /lb in Canada
$2.75 / lb in USA
English
@martinsjoh29221 @therealmrbench Ya on average processed chicken breast is closed to a $1 difference but the US see much more volatility in pricing
English
@stocksnstuffeh @therealmrbench Yes we have a supply management system. On average the price is about a CAD$1.50 difference. We avoid farmers boom / bust cycle like US it also makes a family farm still attainable. Also healthier meat I.e. 2022-26 we lost 6% to avian flu US lost 14%.
English
🇨🇦 has a poultry supply management system, just like milk, dairy and eggs:
1. Production quotas that strictly limits production.
2. High import tariffs (often 200%+) block cheaper foreign options.
3. Cost-based pricing that guarantees farmers a profit regardless of how badly they run their farms.
The 🇺🇸 emphasizes efficiency, competition, and lower costs for consumers.
With the highest grocery costs in the G7, which system would you rather have?

@Kelsisheren Listening to people who simply disagree with the policies of the current government say Canada is crumbling is also wild
English
Listening to my liberal Canadian neighbours bitch about America while Canada crumbles all around them, is absolutely wild.
English
@jkenney Welp if we can vote on independence we can certainly vote on an alliance with other countries. Right Jason.
English
@dallairedemers Hard to do unless we have an Independence supporter in the Premier’s chair.
English
It is absolutely ridiculous that a court is deciding whether Albertans can collect petition signatures. Democracy in Canada is nearly dead. Floor crossers, ideological judges, and worst of all, an apathetic population.
English
@dallairedemers @DavidJPba I’m Albertan and you can make yourself independent from Alberta then if that’s how you feel.
