What's an Ovintiv.....Is Canada a Dirty Word?

[Director]

Losing 136 years of Canadian Oil and Gas history to the US is major dick punch to the entire country.. Imagine how hard of a decision that would have been for an Executive team, "lets change our name and move to Denver"
Watch the US news for 8 seconds - Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.. Canada lose a Billion dollar company to them.. Oh my..

Encana is a Global leader in technology and production, being Canadian doesn't get you any respect or investment so change the name and go south.. That's highly concerning on a National scale.. Be like Air Canada rebranding as Air Idaho to gain respect.. Not cool.

I've met Chris and Vivian, i've seen them both present and the message is strong.. How much money is being made on the flip side of controlling Canadian Energy..

So I spent some time this am and read the news release and these are my thoughts and feelings. This is the politest way a company can remove itself from a once prosperous country. Take it for what it’s worth. If your making $20 an hour an all your buddy’s are making $40 an hour how long do you watch them live that life before you say **** it, make room I’m coming over to make $40 too.

Yeah gunner, you nailed it. Tragic for Canada...

 

[skegpro]

So sad, very first job I ever had was doing scada communications for Encana.

RIP

You mean the people applauding the fact that they got rid of another dirty oil company?

 

[FastFarmer]

no, I mean that I agree with what he wrote. I’m just as pissed as anyone else that gets it...and I mean gets it. How about some unemployed tree hugging reject taking a chunk of the maple leaf off our flag, painting it blue and putting it back up for all to see, what’s the difference between that and this? We are loosing our foundation our pillars of industry and the extremely great accomplishments they have made. Do you think that they might know a thing or two about industry and survival...I’d say that in all those years yep sure do, but that doesn’t matter because they’re tail lights is all you can see now.

Humm this is not new, to the industry. I also read this week a Canadian drilling company is moving all of its rigs to the states.

This also happened in the 1980 when Trudeau SR started the National energy program.

 

[gunner3006]

It’s tracgic for a few different reasons. It was talked about on another thread but there are lots of skilled guys moving. Yea pulling the pin on Canada. Done with it. A company like encana has put more kids thru sports, community events, AG society’s have been kept alive by the encanas. Small towns and community’s. Supported by the big boys. It’s tragic because the uninformed don’t know or care.

Off topic, but is it hard to get a visa to go work in the states? Or citizenship?

No. But Rene on here could tell you. He’s doing it right now. There at the other end of the spectrum. All kinds of work, not enough guys.

Halliburton is closing the nisku offices.
Pink slips and packages today.
Should be in the news soon.

no, especially if you have “support” from a major corporation. Look at how many powerline companies in Alberta are sending their guys to the USA to work. Look up Quanta Services...then find an opponent for them. Fill up your popcorn bowl, it will be a long night

I have things crossed that I’m not going to mention hoping you’re wrong on that...

Me too.

 

[FastFarmer]

Total dick punch...

 

[gunner3006]

Hope it doesn’t set a standard. If your a junior company or even long time company looking at this, it’s not good.

Imagine watching all of this while having a number with six zeros to the right of it with no decimal “in due” to you...
