Here’s what happened the last time a Trudeau slapped an export tax on Alberta Energy:
• unemployment quadrupled from 3.7% to 12.4% as thousands lost their jobs
• home values plummeted 30% and thousands lost their homes
• bankruptcies rose by over 150%
• tens of thousands left the province plunging us into a multi-year recession
• cost to Alberta was between $50-$100 Billion
