The Internet was buzzing Wednesday afternoon with sarcastic calls for a "kudatah" against the NDP in Alberta, as social media users mocked an anti-Notley Facebook comment for its poor spelling.

In the comment, a woman attempted to suggest a coup d'etat – a French term for removing a leader – against Notley's NDP. But the commenter spelled the phrase hilariously wrong, prompting a wave of ridicule that has spilled over onto Twitter and Reddit.

"We should over throw the NDP like a kudatah?" the user wrote, in the original comment.

"I hope you're aware 'kudatah' is not a word," a second user replied.

"If you can't spell coup d'etat, you probably don’t have the best odds of pulling one off," wrote another.

You're the one offended that I don't read all your posts.

That's first rate attention whoring.

Let me know when it gets halfway to 2006 levels.

Until then, it's an extremely poor investment.

Except it's never going back up.

The oilsands were a failure and it's time to let them go.

Three hundred years from now when the last drop of petroleum is squeezed out of the last producing oil shale formation and ... guess what! it sold for $30 a barrel!

Fentalmoss was right, after all!

Sure is easy to troll the self styled intellectuals. Looks like all the stupid people from Toronto bought it. Hook, Line, snd sinker.

That is where you are wrong again. There is still money to be made in oil. If you are looking for long term growth rather than a quick buck now is the time.

The time has passed.

We'll be in full transition to renewables in 20 years and it will be a long, drawn out death for oil until then.

It will be a low carbon economy by 2100.

We don't even have to speculate about the end of the industry lol
