We should refine here

BC Government just announced a $12.8  billion deficit. Alberta $24.2 billion projected deficit. We may have to use our natural resources to balance our budgets. Oil  and lumber would be a good start. We need to stop the $19 billion worth of imported oil coming in. We need a Made in Canada price for our oil products (gas, diesel, propane, oil and natural gas) to stabilize our economy.

Stop having our oil refined in the US and sold  back to us at high prices . We have thousands of oil workers plus support businesses sitting idl . The lumber industry can be given a boost to export their products. Develop a 20-year plan to produce all we can. A Made in Canada price and a 20 year plan to replace oil and develop alternate energy and no fossil-fuelled vehicles

This plan should bail out the provinces and reverse the trend as well. Otherwise we will be highly taxed for many years and suffer with high employment.
