Canada’s oil and natural gas sector boosts jobs, government revenue, and opportunities.

“the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship”

Overheard at a hipster bar in Victoria.

“It doesn’t matter what you take in university, everyone should be required to take gender studies.”
