Hey John, you going to head for the big oil boom in Alberta?..

[Uncle Willy]

Going to put Canada on the map. Largest oil reserves in the world, 8-10 times more than all of Arabia, estimated at two trillion barrels or more, enough to satisfy the appetite of the U.S. for the next 100 years. Will be the biggest oil boom in the history of the world and they need help bad and dummy grunt jobs are paying $120,000 per year. Population of the little town right in the middle of all this is set to explode. Going to be something to see. We'll soon be able to tell the Arabs to take a hike.

I heard about that last week. Last year they said we had only a couple good years left of oil, now we are going to have the biggest reserve in the world. you would thing that those guys would get their facts and research right. Next month we will declare a shortage to bump up the price. Then, all of as sudden they will find more reserves. It's a game I tell you. I'm guessing that within 10 years we will be using a fraction of the oil that we use today, powering our cars on some alternative method. But then again, I could be wrong too! The good paying jobs are a 5 hour drive north of Edmonton, where a small 2 bedroom shack costs $450,00.00, lettuce is $4.00 a head and all you do is work-sleep-work-sleep. What a life........

so thanks for bringing it up.
Found this article online:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/01/20/60minutes/main1225184.shtml

Which then led me to stories on the Net about Iran and their Petro-Euro system due to start in March. Which then made me think about a future Petro-Canadian$ system in the making!!

Would rather be metal detecting, but interesting reading all the same.

Yeah going to put Canada on the map. And booms ain't no fun. I worked in a couple. I can imagine what the prices are with all those folks flooding into a small town.
