Wilkins says he was taking the tour as part of an educational process "It gives me a chance to get out from behind my desk in Ottawa and meet and greet Canadians".
Wilkins visited with top energy producers in the Ft. St John area, and used the visit as an opportunity to applaud the trade relationship between our two countries. "We have one of the largest trade relationships in the world" says Wilkins who noted that relationship means hundreds of thousands of Canadian and American workers can put food on the table.
He also said that with approximately one half of the oil produced in the Ft.St. John area flowing to the U.S. , its great to know a friend and ally has a strong and stable supply of energy "It is a good thing, for both countries" says Wilkins.

Now how does that relate to all this oil and gas just begging to be discovered in the Nechako basin?
Tell us another one, just like the other one-tell us another one--please!
We thrive on untruths, or even a plain old lie will suffice.
We are the true North-strong and stupid.
