I mean they knew this was going to eventually happen. He's a racist, xenophobic ******* who white redneck racists like because he 'tells it like it is' but in actuality he just hates anything that isn't how it was back in the day

He's a terrible hockey commentator and has no clue how the game even works anymore.

oh damned fired, craziness. Good ****ing riddance I suppose, just sad to see a canadian icon going down this particular way.

I am just loving the fact that the CN rail strike is killing Quebec for propane.

I hope the strike lasts weeks even though were hurting also. Only two spots to get propane from and one is Edmonton. Imagine if you had a pipeline to ship it

Saddest person today had to be Justin Trudeau

Im hoping Peter Mckay takes a run at it

Lol at the party paying for his kids private cult school

Most of party not knowing they paid for his kids private education

Well looks like the Conservatives will be fielding candidates that can remove one of the most corrupt prime ministers and a racist corrupt sexual predator

I thought Harper was already out?

I wasn't a fan of his either

Man the Liberals are in a bad place with Alberta

• Bought a Pipeline which even this Albertan thinks they shouldnt do , or CBC or Bombardier
• Pipeline cost goes up 70% to 12.5 billion so they can use thicker steel and enhanced safety measures
• Teck project meets all regulatory requirements and has 12 tribes on board and looks like they will deny approval

So basically the Liberals have said it doesn't meet our 2050 climate goals which we have no plan or clue how we get there but lets keep screwing Alberta over.

Wexit is going to pick up steam

lol at the little snowflakes in alberta. It's really just pathetic at this point. They're literally at the point where if a specific, controversional project has the possiblity of not being approved they go all #wexit on social media.

What's so hilarious about it is that trudeau bent over ****ing backwards for alberta. He so wanted to build the (absolutely stupid and should not be built) pipeline he went and bought it. His whole government is singularly focused on making sure it gets all the approvals to go through the court systems. They just won a major court case ruling they DID meet the requirements for duty to consult significantly increasing the chances it will be built. A normal response would be "THANK YOU PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU FOR YOUR DEFERENCE AND SUPPORT WE LOVE YOU". But of course alberta, being alberta, looks at a huge win for them and goes all hashtag about it.

You fail to read what I wrote. I do not think he should have bought the pipeline at all. Him buying the pipeline really did not go over well with a portion of his voters. Now that the cost has risen 70% to use thicker steel and better safety measures many folks will wonder why wasn't that the standard and wow now we have a 12.5 billion $ project

As an Albertan I am more frustrated with the fact the Teck project went through all the consultation and approval requirements and followed all the rules yet chances are will be rejected. Why the frick have these processes for approval only to ignore them?


Just say I do not want any more resource development in Alberta and call it a day.

I can totally see, say, people from ontario wondering why the federal government is wasting so much money on a project to help Alberta, that this government seems to be bending over backwards to appease a bunch of petulant children who won the resource lottery and are now mad that getting a huge win for the at the expense of everyone else happen from a liberal not a conservative. But albertans should LOVE trudeau for his unyielding unquestioned support of this pipeline project.

Is it clear they are ignoring them? The project has many controversial components, heck it isn't even clear it makes economic sense (it basically only works if price of oil is way up AND pipeline capacity AND partners all on board etc). It's a super complex issue, and I certainly don't envy the trudeau government decision with the aim to balance climate change, BC, alberta, economics, indigenous people, etc. I can see them both approving and disapproving it and definitely will anger large constituencies either way. It is a lose-lose politically. But it isn't clear to me they are ignoring their approval processes, why do you think that?

Reality is even if it is approved it may not get built. The companies projections were at $94 a barrel of oil. I get you need to balance climate change but you have not laid out any plans of how you are going to get there. How is Alberta to have a climate strategy for its resource sector when the federal government doesn't have one either other than net zero by 2050. The project has the full support of the indigenous groups in the area that border the project. It met all the requirements and consultations

Bottom line that was what my post was trying to say Trudeau cant win. I voted for him the first time but could not again for a multitude of reasons.

Reality is 1/2 the rigs in Alberta are now in Texas or the Dakotas and most of the laid off workers are as well. Investment capital has moved out of Alberta as well and they blame the uncertainty of project approvals.

I also do not believe we should keep bailing out Bombardier of fund the CBC for a billion a year.

Also that pipeline not built yet but I laugh at the fact BC having all the troubles with their provincial one.

Sadly for Alberta Trump is the last resort to get the Keystone XL built

Imagine being this person

Hey as an Albertan all my life I can remember bumper stickers

"God please bring back another oil boom I will not piss this one away. Yet the Alberta Government pissed it away as did many Albertan's"

Though its nice to see our Prime Minister trying to buy UN votes so he can fulfill his second campaign promise in 5 years.

Country going to hell and he is trying to get something the average CDN does not care about and the reality is Norway is a lock

Alberta ****ed themselves over don't really have much sympathy for the situation. It seems smart to give tax refunds when the going is good, **** the economy and blame Notley. At least a bunch of bankrupt oil companies wrecked the environment and didn't clean it up. Shocking.

It was why Notley won one election Albertan's were sick of it. Alberta is a have not province that still has to make equalization payments. I voted for Notley both times even though she was fiscally irresponsible.
Sadly Albertan's need to hear the truth

• Sales tax is a reality
• One public School System stop funding a catholic and other religous schools
• Bring Back Alberta Health Care Premiums
• Bring back the carbon tax at the provincial level like Notley. Better to mange the money yourself. Wait out Trudeau

Do you care that we get a seat on the UN?

I remember the good old days when harper tried to get a SC seat and somehow managed to piss it away.

Yes I was definitely being completely serious and not at all sarcastic in any part of that post

I consider myself a reasonable Albertan. Would I vote to leave Canada? No though I would love to see Quebec leave


Trudeau was all over him for this and now he is doing everything possible to get a seat and its a longshot. At least he kept one campaign promise.

[QUOTE=lozen;55831260]I consider myself a reasonable Albertan. Would I vote to leave Canada? No though I would love to see Quebec leave




Ya, it's almost exactly the opposite. When harper did it he was expected to win. But being a right wing kook, he managed to somehow piss off enough countries (particularly for his israel nonsense) that canada got embarrassingly destroyed in the voting. Now trudeau isn't expected to win, but it's good that finally we are at least putting out a positive image for canada.

Uke crushing this thread obviously

[QUOTE=uke_master;55831453] Harper was the reason I gave Trudeau a chance once and he turned out to be a joke. What importance is there to getting that seat? I would debate weather he is providing a positive image instead he is displaying the fact he cant get anything done other than ethics violations

Winning for sure

Other than legalizing pot he has kept so few campaign promises which I really do not care about .

You make it easy on me when you say such silly things. Like, do you not remember the huge tax cut promised in 2015 that he delivered? Do you not remember the huge tax cut promised in 2019, that he delivered?

I oppose both tax cuts. But albertans, and there (fake) love of low taxes should absolutely LOVE justin trudeau for this. But let's check in here with our resident albertans to see whether he gets an ounce of credit for this: nobody? Of course not, albertas are all on the rhetorical (as they won't actually do anything) #wexit train complaining and complaining about how evil the big trudeau meanie is to them and how their feelings are all hurt by him daring to talk about climate change while he is implimenting the exact things they claim they actually want: pipelines and low taxes
