Him pulling out and taking his rubles with him absolutely effects everyone here.

It's not about him sticking it to the NDP, it's about the NDP being either so inexperienced, naive or simply holding too much credence in their ideology that they cannot see what results their actions have on this province.

And I just realized this turned into the Alberta politics thread. Bunch of self centered pricks we are.
a) I live in BC, so it affects me way less than someone living in Alberta
b) I'm a single dude with no kids and no aspirations of having any

I'm a pretty self-contained unit. The only thing I really receive in the way of state services is health care and public transit. Where Murray Edwards lives has next zero effect on me personally.
