East and West: Ontario's Influence on the Western Canadian Petroleum Industry
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
An enduring myth permeates the Canadian oil patch - eastern Canadians hate the West. Though this theme serves a purpose - like when Westerners want to blame the international economic downturn of the 1980s on Ottawa's infamous National Energy Program - the fact remains that numerous central Canadian petroleum industry pioneers, and some key Americans, migrated west to Alberta in the early 1900s and helped develop an industry that became pivotal to Canada's self-sufficiency in oil, natural gas and bitumen. This paper reviews the careers of important individuals who helped find, develop and sustain the Western Canadian oil industry and explains how this relationship between the regions has contributed to the vitality of the Canadian oil patch. THE PROBLEM Recently it has become apparent that Edmonton and Alberta are to Ottawa as Caracas and Venezuela are to Washington DC - or at least that is the perception that is often experienced in Canada. Imagine, for example, a scenario where Americans citizens moved to Venezuela and created an oil industry using their own financial resources when the markets at home and in Europe refused to invest in their highly speculative ventures. Then after these expats found oil, they made themselves into a cartel of one and used their power to fight against the perceived, and real, injustices perpetrated on them by the colonial power in Washington D.C. Though this story closely resembles the Venezuelan oil development process - where oil was discovered in 1914 on the shores of Lake Maracaibo, it is actually the sequence of events that landed us in the current situation in Canada. Oil was discovered in 1914 at Turner Valley near Calgary and there has been animosity, tension and stress in the relationship between the producer - Alberta, and the consumer - central Canada as represented by Ottawa. In spite of this sometimes antagonistic relationship and the fact that Alberta and Ottawa have differed over programs, policies, taxes, royalties, export agreements, pipelines, regulatory agencies, international trade and many other aspects of the resource development process, the history of the Canadian petroleum industry shows that central Canadians have been deeply involved in the development of the western Canadian oil patch to the benefit of all parts of the country. Even though the relationship is often strained, it has functioned well enough to be of mutual benefit to all parts of the country.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
