I saw that presentation and it was unsettling, to say the least. Without meaning to be crass, I could see the value of my PBG shares increasing with every sentence. Edit: Message 22976398

This begs the question: how long can Canada go on behaving like America's most compliant energy colony? Got free trade ? I think this goes to the heart of my point regards to the post whitepine started.. Ownership by Americans is limited but access is better than unrestricted, it's guaranteed.. even to the detriment of Canadians.. hence it remains completely fungible Not the case in Iraq or elsewhere for that matter... cato.org Energy. The agreement guarantees the United States access to Canadian oil, gas, coal, and elec- tricity at the prices paid by Canadians under compa- rable commercial circumstances. Export embar- goes, export taxes, and practices raising export prices above domestic prices are prohibited. In the event of shortages, available supplies will be shared equitably among U.S. and Canadian consumers. Nevertheless, Ottawa and the provinces enjoy con- siderable latitude in setting the pace of develop- ment of Canada's energy resources, and the pace of development will largely determine Canada's long- term export capabilities. Finally, the asymmetrical treatment accorded investment holds here as well. The agreement allows Canada to continue to limit U.S. ownership in the Canadian oil and gas industry, but the United States may not impose similar limits on Canadian interests.
