Just awful decision making since Ralph held up the "paid in full" sign in 2004.

To be fair, the manner in which Klein achieved "paid in full" didn't exactly set things up for success. You can save a lot of money by never doing oil changes, or replacing your car tires, painting your house, replacing appliances when they break down, eating nothing but ramen at every single meal, etc. - but it comes back to bite you in the ass when you get whatever disease is associated with eating such a terrible diet and your car breaks down on the way to the airport for your flight to the States for a treatment that you're paying for by selling your house for less than it should be worse due to shoddy maintenance because the treatment isn't offered at home because our healthcare system was gutted.

That's where the "outrage" is coming from.

I'm sure all of you same people were similarly outraged every other time this has been done, which is incidentally before every single election in the history of democracy...
It is certainly not commendable behaviour, but neither is ignoring common sense in your outrage.

I thought that this one was for sure supposed to be operating this year?

I remember Notley telling us that this was a major saving event for shipping oil.
I guess its back to single meat for us all. |
Out of curiosity, has Kenney offered any ideas for how he would have prevented this?

You know the old joke about how if you're a guy who thinks every single person they meet is an A-hole, that you're actually the A-hole?
BC, Quebec, Minnesota, Ontario, Trudeau, Trump, Notley, Europe, China, OPEC, TIDES, Suzuki, Obama, Saudis, etc.
Albertans are every bit as tiresome as those who we love to lament (especially from BC and Quebec), and perhaps even less self-aware.
For the record, I align more closely with you rambling masses on most issues than with the various 'boogeymen' I listed above. But you people make me question that more and more every day.
