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.

I think in general the discontent population is aware our pricing is poor and market access is an issue.
lol. You were the first and only poster to mention the negative gas pricing. In fact, you led with that little nugget. If not the trigger or the focus, why mention it?

I get the frustration, as I am employed in this business. C-69 is likely a far better example of the challenges. Having said that, the discussion started with the actions of a bozo. No amount of frustration warrants that sort of behaviour.
