(Re: “Oil is not okay” Letters to the editor, Calgary SunFriday, November 14.) The letter writer, like most Albertans, seems unaware of the fact that OPEC, including the UAE, is producing far less oil than it can – something on the order of 5 million barrels per day. Perhaps Ms. Smith can ask them why they are limiting their production since your entire province seems ignorant of the concept of supply and demand and how it affects the prices of goods and services. Perhaps Ontario should double its car production.

Had to use it

What else could she have done about the Prime Minister's use of the notwithstanding clause? The union never asked for binding arbitration, which may or may not have settled the situation. The government has already promised to hire 3,000 more teachers and build or renovate 180 schools to improve conditions. It will take several years to achieve this goal. Smith can't type numbers into the computer, then hit enter and 3,000 teachers appear out of nowhere! (NDP Leader Naheed) Nenshi offered no solution, and if he were in power, teachers would still be on strike and schools would be empty.

Changing the goal

Daniel Smith is starting to sound like Trump Taco (Trump is always smoking) – constantly changing the dates of news announcements about the pipeline.

Doomsday cult

(Re: Letters to the editor, Calgary SunSunday, November 16.) Steve Klein is just another Malthusian. The end is near, we are all doomed! This doomsday cult of radical environmentalists and those who claim that the world is overpopulated and that something must be done to prevent the coming apocalypse. I bet people have been hearing about the end of the world since the beginning of time, and we're still here. There are some demographers who suggest that the world population will be reduced by six billion inhabitants by the end of this century, and I am sure that the alarmists will then shout that the world is sparsely populated and people need to reproduce before we die out and disappear forever. If this is food for thought, I'm not hungry.
