John,

I did not intend to insult you personally with my comments and I do not see anything in my comments that should be personal insults.

You have responded with personal insults that I believe were uncalled for and inappropriate. (Insult via sarcasm is insult nonetheless.)

Where I am from is irrelevant, as is whether I criticized governmental actions in other locales in the past. Those governments and locales have nothing to do with the topic of this forum, the Oil Sands.

In the interest of clarity and understanding, I am not singling out Alberta over any other jurisdiction; the objectionable actions that I comment on are happening in Alberta, here and now. If like actions occur in other jurisdictions in Canada or elsewhere, my comments on those actions would likely be very similar.

I stated that the people of Alberta are not getting a "fair share" and are being poorly represented by their public servants in oil sands actions. This is not unique to Alberta, but other regimes are not a topic of this forum at present.

Perhaps the discussion could be more beneficial if we try to answer the question:

What is the legitimate reason that the government finds it necessary to repeatedly modify agreements and increase taxes on oilsands businesses after making commitments that those businesses rely upon when making very substantial investments in the oilsands?
