We are being leapfrogged by other countries in renewable energy technologies. While Harper did nothing in this area we fell far behind, that trend appears to be continuing.

Even if we were to have another oil boom what would it matter? After the last oil boom Alberta came out in the hole due to Harper lowering tax's on the oil companies to a mere 10%, less than half of the G8 average as well as the abuses with regards to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Profits are going to big oil NOT to the Canadian economy.

We build pipelines and spend billions annually in oil subsidies meanwhile the Warren Buffets of the world invests billions in solar projects and other renewables.
