We hope it comes as no offence to the good people who make our beer that it is not even close.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as we can tell, such claims are fanciful thinking based on a state that some folks wish was the case.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard these statements too. It&#8217;s time to talk common sense on this important topic. If people who make their livelihood in natural resources don&#8217;t speak up, the heart of Canadian exports will continue to be at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we thought we&#8217;d provide a couple of talking points for resource-aware people to cite next time the topic comes up.
