A vast majority of Quebecers prefer their oil was sourced from Western Canada, compared to just 13 per cent who picked American oil and 5 per cent who preferred to get their fossil-fuel fix from another country, according to a new survey.
“Year after year, survey after survey, the results are unequivocal,” Luc Vallée, chief economist and chief operating officer at the MEI, said in a press release. “Quebecers are much more open to hydrocarbons than we might think. They understand that we need oil and that the energy transition will not happen overnight.”
Quebecers also remain conscious of the economic costs of climate change and said they were willing to pay more in taxes — as much as $207 per year to fight climate change. That’s generous, but not as high as respondents in Saskatchewan/Manitoba who were willing to pay even more, at $287, according to the survey. Overall, 63 per cent of Canadians said they were unable or unwilling to pay more to combat climate change.
Then why do they continue to elect governments opposed to the energy sector?

Why an Alberta judge sentenced armed robber to one day when Crown asked for two yearsAmong the mitigating factors was the past ‘tragedy and trauma’ suffered by Dennehy — and the hug he gave the store clerk during the robbery So it’s okay to commit a crime as long as I hug the victim? Well damn, everyone is prison should get a chance and see if they would hug their victims and then we should release them. What a joke of a justice system we have. Unreal. And yet they want to take legal firearms from law abiding citizens in Order to fight gun violence. Here is the exact problem and a great example. We have zero punishment for crimes involving guns.
