Harper was bad for Oil, this Prime Minister will be worse.
He probably wants to finish the work of his old man.

Of any jab against our PM, this one really seems to annoy me.
Albertan's are reasonable people who I hope judge their leaders by their actions, and we don't judge kids by their parents mistakes, yet I hear this over and over and over.
People hide behind "well its only a joke", yet it is a joke which is well repeated.
I truly believe my parents generation are still so pissed at his dad that somewhere deep down they want our current PM to act like him, against their own self interests, just so they can vent that old outrage.
His dad screwed up royally, but the current PM doesn't have that guilt.
There are enough valid points to be critical on our PM that you don't need to bring this into the discussion - joking or not.
Edit: I should add that my rant comes from the constant fear mongering I heard that Justin wants to hurt the west or hates the west, which when you get down to the facts, doesn't appear to be true at all (even if he isn't "good for the west, which is another discussion). Relating him to his dad, who did seem to hate Alberta, just gives fuel to those thoughts people already have.
