I like to think we have it pretty good in Alberta, like damn good but these people just seem to be so angry at ????? . I can’t reconcile it, I don’t understand why they feel so oppressed. What is it?

Price of natural gas went negative in Alberta last week. The same product that sells for over $10CAD/GJ in the USA and over $50CAD/GJ in Europe.
That can be pretty frustrating if your livelihood depends on the value of that product. People get angry and need someone to blame.
Will they always or entirely blame the right person, no? Are they right to cuss Freeland out? No. But you put any industry or group of people under similar circumstances and you will get the same responses. It's human behavior, you might think if you were in their shoes you would have shaped differently. But that thought is entirely rooted in narcissism, a belief that you are a higher person incapable of any road but the high road.
I hope you enjoyed Nova Scotia, that was an extremely GHG intensive vacation and terrible for the environment.
