Oil and gas have been the lifeblood of the Canadian economy for decades. The country is the world's fourth-largest producer of oil and gas, and the industry contributes significantly to the national GDP. ⠀
⠀
The oil and gas sector provides direct and indirect employment to thousands of Canadians and generates billions of dollars in revenue every year.⠀
⠀
Canada's vast reserves of oil and gas have also enabled the country to become a major player in the global energy market, providing a reliable source of energy to many countries.
Many families have built their livelihoods around the industry, and it has become an integral part of their cultural identity.⠀
⠀
The oil and gas industry also supports a wide range of businesses, from suppliers and service providers to restaurants and retail shops, further contributing to the local economy.

Great to see our friend Ezra Levant!
Only with a government that prioritizes the well-being of Canadian citizens.
Canada has long been a leader in environmental protection and the development of clean energy technology. With a commitment to sustainability and a forward-thinking approach, Canada has become a global leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting our natural resources!
As we speak, the emissions generated during the production cycle are the lowest in the world and are continuously improving.⠀
⠀
However, our federal government is putting our industry at risk, even as India and other Asian countries shift away from natural gas and invest in building more coal power plants
Our oil and gas industry's accomplishments are unparalleled by any other country in the world, and we are now prioritizing Indigenous inclusion in major oil and gas developments through new ESG guidelines to achieve social acceptance
We believe that Canada’s oil and gas industry is the most technologically advanced industry in the world and should be applauded, not demonized as the federal government is doing now with its crippling legislation.⠀

In fact, Canada’s oil and gas sector produces about 0.3 per cent of overall emissions, globally.

Dear social justice warriors, did you know?
If you're protesting against the use of fossil fuels, but you're using an oil-and-gas-powered vehicle to get there, then you're not practicing what you preach.⠀

You're a hypocrite.

Unless Canada takes action to capitalize on this opportunity, other nations will step in to fill the void. Countries like Saudi Arabia and Russia, which have poor records on emissions and human rights, will reap the benefits instead of us.
Happy St. Patrick's Day from Oil Sands Strong! 🍀💪⠀
⠀
Today, we're feeling lucky to be advocates for the oil and gas industry, which plays such an important role in powering our communities and driving our economy. ⠀
⠀
We're proud to support the hard-working men and women who make it all possible, and we're committed to doing our part to ensure a strong and sustainable future for our industry.⠀
⠀
So let's raise a glass to the resilience and strength of our oil and gas industry, and to a bright future ahead 🍻🚀
Canada's economic heart beats strongly thanks to the abundance of natural resources found in the oil sands. From providing jobs to supporting local businesses, the oil sands have been a vital part of our country's economy for decades!
