Canadians should be paying low gas & oil prices

Globalist scammers force us to abandon Canada’s natural economic advantages to enhance corporate profits

By Frank Touby –

Canadians should be paying bargain prices for oil and gas, and for any other natural resources produced in this country. Instead, the federal government has bought into the wrong-headed notion that since there is a “world price” for petroleum and other commodities produced here, Canadians should be charged those highest prices.

A Canadian refinery in British Columbia, for example, is finding it so tough to buy Canadian crude to convert into gasoline, it’s considering importing foreign oil.

The corrupt practice of satisfying huge foreign and domestic corporations’ lust for excessive profits from exploiting natural resources in Canada harms both our citizens and our economy.

There is no valid reason why any nation should neutralize its comparative economic advantages derived from geographic or demographic features. It’s as corrupt and nonsensical as forcing a farmer to pay supermarket prices for eating the corn grown in his field. Or paying a foreign corporation for the rainfall that watered his crops as happened in Central America.

Only because huge, mainly foreign-owned corporations bribe our governments in various ways is this crooked abandonment of geographic advantage for the Canadian people established. And it’s true for most other nations in the world.

The use of pipelines to serve foreign markets is dangerous because pipelines aren’t safe for the environment. All of them leak and spill during their lifetimes. And it’s crooked to charge Canadians the same prices for their natural resources that’s paid by consumers on the other side of the world.

It’s incumbent upon the federal government to require all natural resources producers and refiners in Canada to slash prices for domestic users and to fulfill domestic demand before shipping any quantity of our natural resources-derived products to foreign markets.

Further, Canada must establish more petroleum refineries so that all of that natural resource is processed in this country and creates jobs in this country.

That gives our manufacturers the rightful competitive advantage based upon being situated in Canada with its abundant natural resources.

Globalization is a crooked scheme to serve the 1% and disenfranchise the remainder of humanity. By superseding the economic principle of comparative advantage, globalists pretend to level the playing field for all nations while loading their own pockets with booty as they trick nations out of their economic rights and enslave the citizens of cheap-labour nations.

World trade is not a benefit to many nations and only to very few citizens of any nations. A world economy, which is what globalists seek to create, is anathema to ordinary people. It places them beneath the yoke of foreign interests, few of which are benign.

It is best for Canada, for instance, not to make foreign-trade deals such as the current mean-spirited regime in Ottawa is intent upon doing. NAFTA, signed by a previous Tory regime under the Rightly Despised Brian Mulroney, has been a disaster for Canadian jobs and has expedited jobs to cheap-labour Mexico and the redneck U.S. south with no compensating benefit to Canadians who aren’t part of the 1%.

It equates Mexico, a mostly ungovernable narco state, with Canada. The current Tory villain in Ottawa, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, has agreed that both U.S. (and possibly Mexican) troops can operate against Canadian citizens in Canada.

Practically the only things we need from Mexico are papayas, mangoes and veggies in the winter. Certainly we rarely need anything they manufacture in Mexico, some of which was formerly made here by Canadian workers who now need jobs. What we need is the manufacturing that’s done in Mexico to be done in Canada. By Canadians.

Cheap labour and slave labour aren’t economic advantages. Not the sort that decent people wish to encourage. Yet that’s the precise advantage globalists mainly exploit.
