This is laughably comical considering the ridiculousness of Bill C-69 and what it did to Alberta's oil and gas industry.
Brett Wilson's take on Bill C-69 is something all Canadians need to hear.

Link to video doesn't work for me so I haven't watched, but I'm familiar with the general points of that Bill and how it has negatively affected the industry.
It doesn't change the fact that there are a significant number of people in this country who think the environment and global climate change and territorial rights are more important than oil and gas development. Its not about who is right, it's about people having a right to an opinion and a voice in the future of their nation.
You can call it laughable, but it is a serious issue.
