Canada Prosperity in Peril: Much Ado About Nothing the Today Problem of a Once Great Nation - Paperback

by Walter Benstead (Author)

This book is a reflection of my forty years experience in resource development in Canada and overseas. The industry was once a driver of the Canadian economy. With the Climate Weapon and political bias it has been strangled. Billions in free enterprise investment has been squandered and unemployment has needlessly mushroomed. All for political whim.

Author Biography

I have worked in the oil and gas industry as a Geologist since 1965. During that time my projects and employment have extended across the four Western Provinces, Ontario, the Northwest Territories, Libya and Australia. I have a BSc Hons in Geology from Western University. My first assignment involved doing surface geology in the Canadian Arctic Islands. There were no trees or significant vegetation coverage. It taught me more geology than any textbook or Professor. From doing surface geology I moved on to wellsite geology in Northern Alberta and Libya with a major oil Company. It is a background that every petroleum geologist should have. In Australia I worked for the Petroleum Branch of the Geological Survey of Queensland. Returning from Australia I worked for Canadian Superior Oil supervising projects in the Mackenzie Delta and Lake Erie. I spent most of my career years working as an independent. My emphasis was on regional mapping projects and prospect generation in Southwest Saskatchewan. My later experience was with small Canadian "start ups". In retirement I have produced presentations on Melville Island Brachiopods and the Geology of the Panorama Ski Area.
