Wilhelm posted:Ok ok ok fine maoism is awesome and burn capitalism and why don't we just build more nuclear plants Sorry that some people protested your LNG project once and made you feel bad but there's definitely some ground to be made up between building infrastructure that will demand we continue using G&O for another 35 years and actually starting to move towards a more sustainable future. The best part about this all is that it's not even the environmentalists you hate so much that got this project stopped, it was the Liberals own stupid hubris. They thought they could just railroad whatever they wanted through and it backfired because they didn't bother to do a fair assessment or even follow the process for approval that laid out.

Our government is borrowing 4.5 billion dollars to build a pipeline that they are telling everyone will obsolete by 2030.

Here's a map:  https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/energy/resources/19142 What the actual gently caress. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at a politician saying the opposite of what is true but man this is blatant. I hope he gets raked over the coals for this, but everyone will be (rightfully) focusing on JT instead.

The Cons are going to win a huge majority in Alberta in their provincial election and the empty threats about shutting off the oil are going to be magical. Also Im pretty sure the only way the Liberals could gently caress this up any worse is by conceding in the NAFTA talks immediately following this.

Does Alberta even capture its natural gas produced during oil extraction or does it still flare it all off for $0?

"Albertans are angry. I'm angry." Are these people ever not angry? They have been in a permanent state of either "angry gloating" or "angry crying" since I've been following politics

Can we trade Alberta to the USA for like, Minnesota and Vermont? They can just rename themselves North Texas and no one would even notice! Bonus: Ted Cruz would finally be able to go home.

Weirdly, "leaving the federal carbon plan" does not actually mean "repealing/cancelling the carbon tax in Alberta" so idk what this actually means. (And ofc this just keeps underlining why pursuing a decentralised carbon pricing plan was always dumb)
