Alberta fighting its last pipeline battle

You mean, do I look down on "Bullshit!"
Well, yeah. Kinda hard not to, seeing as how it tends to just lie there on the ground.
Doesn't it though? Do you get a warm, fuzzy feeling inside?
And impressive cognitive dissonance.
The problem is Official Bilingualism puts Canada's power base more or less in Quebec at the expense of the rest of the country. What I mean by that is prior to Pierre Trudeau, of the 14 PMs Canada had, only 3 were from Quebec. The PMs came from all over the country. Since Pierre Trudeau, of the 8 PM's who actually sat as PM or weren't merely used as a sacrificial sheep, 6 of them have come from Quebec.
As a result we end up with PM's who provide massive incentives for the country's pharmaceutical industry to re-locate to Quebec. It's how we end up with a province that has a refining industry and a network of pipelines working hard to kill off Alberta's O&G industry. It's how we ended up with a province that thought they should somehow be compensated for the massive losses to Canada's East Coast fisheries. And on and on.
What makes you think this is a white thing? Even Indians (paiute and slurpee) out here want it too.
It's okay if you are ignorant of a foreign nations regions, or people. I dont know the same things you dont know.
If youd like to experience it first hand, you are welcome to use the guest bedroom. Moccasin Flats is an eye opener to outsiders and who knows, you'll probably like it.
ONE, in the last 50 years. Can't really count Joe Clark, he didn't even last a year. But that's not really the point either.
Here's the list of PM's since and including Trudeau Sr.
Trudeau-Quebec 1968-79
Clark-Alberta 1979-80
Trudeau-Quebec 1980-84
Turner- Ontario 1984-1984 Never sat as PM in Parliament.
Mulroney- Quebec 1984-93
Campbell - BC. 1993-1993. Was Mulroney's sacrificial lamb as he bailed on the job.
Chretien - Quebec 1993-2003
Martin - Quebec 2003-2006
Harper - Alberta 2006-2015
Trudeau - Quebec 2015-?
Do 80% of your presidents all come from the same state?
You sure you're a lawyer? Most of the shit you post lately points to someone with an IQ around the Cognitively impaired level.
And it burns burns buuuurns..
Alberta Cuts 1 Million Bpd In Oil Production
Indeed, Alberta has been a step ahead of other producers when it came to cutting production, although not by design. Pipeline constraints had already forced Canadian crude prices low enough for many producers to struggle to survive, and the fallout of the oil price war and the coronavirus pandemic only sped up the inevitable: forced production cuts on top of government-instituted ones.
Alberta’s oil sector was one of the first and hardest hit by the crisis, with doubts emerging at one point about whether the oil sands industry would even survive this crisis. The industry itself is pessimistic. A recent Business Outlook Survey from the Bank of Canada found that the industry was more pessimistic about its outlook than it was in either 2008, during the Great Recession, or even 2014 when oil price last fell in the $20s and below.

Keystone XL stopped over environmental permit. Democratic candidate and presumptive next president of the United States has promised to cancel the project - just as he did under Obama twice.
The UPC has sunk gpd knows how many billion into paying American pipeline workers.But don't worry they have a new idea: coal.
So look for Kenney to blame Trudeau and move on to the next boondoggle.
HArper isn't really from Alberta. He was just another Toronto boy that was forced to go west to find a job. Did a respectable job as PM though considering what he was handed.
Ya those 8 straight surplus budgets were hell to have to take over from.
That's why Harper made sure that when he handed over the country to the next guy Canada was running deficits.
