The us vs mentality that has been ingrained into the minds of voters in this province serves no purpose other than to get the politicians peddling it re-elected. It’s pretty sad when our provincial government delays taking pandemic relief money offered by the federal government because it ruins their narrative that Ottawa doesn’t help us.
Agreed with most of this but you need to have a partner in Ottawa that will negotiate in good faith.

Having a bill like C-69 which explicitly targeted oil sands projects is not trying to forge a partnership.
