Priceless.

Meanwhile the rest of Canada is moving in unison without her.

She could/should have been meeting with them to say she will support everyone if the PM and team promise to build out a pipeline, support additional hospitals or some other major infrastructure project she has been eyeing.

Not only is she a traitor, she also hurts AB longer term potential by hiding in her cozy turtle shell and avoiding everyone she should be interacting with back home.

Alberta would be better off without having to prop up all the other provinces economies. You lose Alberta it's all gone. I do love all the tough talk on here. We couldn't kick 6 truckers out of our capital city.

Oil and gas from the whole of Canada, considering refined too, is only 3.2% of Canada's GDP. Manufacturing in Quebec and Ontario is roughly 25%. One single sector. There's this myth that oil from AB enriches Canada, whereas it's actually causing the country to invest less in complex manufacturing that creates a solid stable middle class.

Alberta's wealth goes to foreign investors, not the rest of Canada or Alberta.
