I have a pet theory, with zero direct evidence, but a bunch of anecdotal hints … that the US has ‘encouraged’ Canada to increase our O&G support and output because they want to cut down on their reliance on SAE/OPEC sources.
Because so far America is doing the bare minimum to wean itself off O&G, so they need a reliable alternative source … and we’re it.
If that is true it explains why we purchased the TCP, and completed the line, plus the billions we spend subsidizing O&G.
Damn, now I gotta go watch Burt in Deliverance again.
Ps. Fun story about the making of the movie. So when the stunt crew was working on the waterfall scene they weren’t sure whether they should use a stuffed dummy or a person. They decided to try both in 2 separate shots, with Burt himself going over the falls after the mannequin shot.
Afterwards the crew and director got together to see which shot was best, the dummy or Burt. Someone asked what the mannequin shot looked like and the director thought it was so-so. Then they asked about Burt’s shot. The director said it looked like a dummy going over the falls.
So we’re privatizing wildfire emergency support services now?
Jfc. Why can’t the gov’t spend a few bucks and train the people needed to do this, instead of giving billions (because it will be billions) of dollars to private companies who’ll do a shitty job of it anyway?
