Shocking.

Meanwhile all my conservative albertan friends call him an environmentalist and a communist. I fucking hate it.

    Just like when JT bought them a whole ass pipeline that's not once hit 100% capacity

    A guy at a house party told me the other day that he lost his job when Trudeau got in because he’s anti oil.

    They are calling a millionaire Goldman Sachs banker a communist?

    They are calling the guy who ran Brookfield Asset Management a communist?

    Do these guys even know what Communism actually is?!!!

    My favourite is the ‘carve out’ to just ignore the tanker ban bill.

    Its not a carve out if you’re going to do to the exact thing the bill was put in place for.

    I think this is a gambit predicated on:

    1. There is no private proponent (and still won't be)
    2. This will rip the UCP apart, and NDP will probably not want to push for a bitumen pipeline to the NW coast

    But it could also just be what it is at face value, we'll see I guess.

    In exchange for climate policies that never would have flown on their own in Alberta, and with concessions predicated on conditions that probably will never happen.

    For once I can just full-thoatedly agree with Carney.

    What climate policies? We're way past that line, at this point.

    Little wonder Guilbeault resigned today. I had some mild hopes for Carney, but he's just a PC in a red cape.
