Agree but it is short term thinking. What ends up happening is the broader majority suffer get polarized and next thing you know a extreme populist gets in. You saw that with Trump, and there stands a good chance it is going to happen here in Alberta.
It is a pity, as a pragmatic approach would help everyone involved. Creating a transitional economy with short term oil investment funding long term green initiatives.
Instead you have a block everything leader, followed by unblock, followed by block. Looking forward to Bernie in 2020...yeash.
