For better or worse the liberals bought the trans mountain pipeline to ensure it gets built, which is obviously good for Alberta’s economy despite it probably not aligning with the wants of a segment of their voter base. What has the CPC or the UCP done to compromise on anything the liberals or NDP have put forward specifically regarding Alberta’s economy? Compromise has to be a two way street, especially when you’re the party negotiating from a position with very little leverage.

Having the Transmountain pipeline is great. The farther away from the initial decision that we get, the more that I think that the only reason it went through is because Trudeau and his cronies lump B.C. in with the "West", and simply didn't really give a #### what we do. The pipeline isn't going to get in the way of their environmental goals (on paper), because it follows an existing line.
At the same time, under discussion was Energy East. The thing that would have made Canada champions of the world following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Trudeau gave the power to destroy that pipeline to the mayor of Montreal. Actually two rungs down in political power, it's like making the stick boy the first line centre of an NHL team, purely out of spite.
It would hurt the feelings of British Colombians to know that Trudeau thinks so little of them. Just more of those western hicks.
