I think that there's no question that, in Alberta as the price of oil continues to drop, that there are families ... that are worried about the instability that that brings to the economy.

Britain in the 1970s was undoubtedly an economic mess because of the oil price explosion. — Barbara Castle

Art is not in the ...eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist. — Seth Godin

I do believe that oil production globally has peaked at 85 million barrels. And I've been very vocal about it. And what happens? The demand continues to rise.
