Danielle the Ditz has just proven herself either intellectually stunted or 100% crooked for the world to see.
I’m a rural Alberta Conservative who didn’t vote in the last provincial election, for the first time since I’ve been eligible, because there was nobody to vote for. This is yet another demonstration as to why I couldn’t cast a vote for a party led by this yahoo.
With the shit Trump is pulling, and the evidence being there for everyone to see that we need to expand our market access beyond the US because it is an unreliable partner; this chuckle head thinks we should invest time and money into creating yet another pipeline to supply the US with energy at a discount.
The whole reason that we sell oil to the US at a discount is because they are the only place we have the means to supply.
We need to A:) get pipelines to the coast so we have reliable, consistent means for bulk export to the global market. Accomplishing this will enable us to charge the US more for the oil we sell them because it will introduce competition that has never existed. The answer isn’t just to pump them more oil at a discount to make more ourselves.
And B:) we need to get oil flowing directly to Ontario and Quebec without it having to bypass South of the border and back up, increasing costs, as it currently does. We literally cannot “turn off the taps” to the US in the event of a major escalation as it currently stands because that would require cutting off the East. As much as they rape and pillage the economies of Western provinces for their own benefit, I don’t support cutting off their access to energy.
We need to work toward independence from the United States while expanding our access to foreign markets beyond them. That is the only way that our nation will be able to truly function independently in the very likely event that the US’s trend towards isolationism results in major disruption.
Happy to discuss with anyone, whether in agreement or disagreement. I just am curious as to what others here in Canada think of this nonsense.
They spend WAY too much money.
They are all in on woke lunacy; believing in more than two genders and nonsensical “gender fluidity,” supporting men in women’s sports, and just generally encouraging mental illness instead of advocating for the treatment of mental illness.
They are way too supportive of those organizations designed around ensuring lazy, unreliable, minimally skilled people are able to keep their jobs, also known as unions.
They are far too “supportive” (read: enabling) of drug addicts who bleed the system of tax dollars while being the root cause of the property crime explosion. The NDP actually thinks the answer is too provide “safe, tax payer funded spaces” for the oxygen thieves to consume their ILLEGAL substances, and then wander out into the world to victimize hard working, law abiding citizens.
I’m a “you get what you work for” kind of guy, while the Alberta NDP are more for a “you’ll get what your neighbour worked for” bullshit mindset.
Honestly, there’s really nothing I like or agree with the Alberta NDP about.
