But what can we expect from Maple MAGA seeing a graph with no context, and immediately blaming the PM? As per usual, a whole lot of vapid hot air.

You do realize that
(1) The chart is real gdp which measures changes in output, not price. That's why you don't see a shocking decline when oil prices declined in 2014/15...
(2) Canada's oil production has actually grown materially between 2015-2024, so would have actually been a driver of GDP growth
(3) Other countries where oil production has grown over this period has seen gdp per capita growth, not decline. Example...Saudi Arabia
(4) it's absurd to reason that a oil price decline that largely affects only a single province that composes 10% of the Country's population would materially impact the ability of the country to grow productivity over a decade and counting.
Based on your reasoning skills, you're just talking nonsense.
