Not really. 

Covid spending moved demand 2-3 years forward and now demand is zero 

While KTMs are known to be the fastest, have the best suspension, and latest tech. They are also known for reliability issues (camshaft) expensive hard to find parts , a crappy dealer network, and warranty claim denial. Yamaha ftw

No shit!  Make EU create artificial demand for US Oil and gas with large scale purchases will do nothing but drive up what we pay in the US for our heating and transportation fuels….  Will make oil companies in the US richer for sure at the expense of US citizens pocketbooks.

 

bone head move this one is!

Many Canadians are in the position of worrying about groceries, energy and paying the mortgage.

Whilst our leaders continue to make daily living less and less affordable, with a seemingly unlimited borrowing capacity, average Canadians have no such luxury.

Our soon relief of an election, will not turn this around fast enough for many.

Let them eat cake will be the Trudeau legacy. He’ll be fine

There is hope on that front. 

If we get a new government as soon as seems possible, we may be able to dig deep with resolve.

We have energy deposits, that if we can get them to market, can fuel the world. 
The premier of Alberta has your back.

it will take time however. 


If only Canada hadn’t fucked away the last 8 years.

This doesn’t concern your energy.  Trump wants to Tariff Europe into buy massive amounts of our oil and gas.  If they don’t buy it then we get tariffs on EU goods.

Someone should scoop up Cat and KTM.
