I think we have a serious problem, and we need to fix it, but pretending it's targeted at Alberta and no one loves us isn't going to generate the national response it takes to fix the underlying issues. It's just whiny and annoying.

Oh totally agree. Yes it is on everything, not just pipelines. Canada has a massive problem IMO. Nobody can or wants to build anything. That is a huge, huge issue. The country and prevailing attitude is very anti-development, and an abandonment and severe under appreciation to what has enabled Canada to become what it is today. But yeah, pipelines in particular are not getting constructed.
I think you’re right the industry is pretty whiny, entitled and they feel targeted. but personally I understand where the sentiment comes from. I understand why not everyone shares that view too.
