    Are you aware of how bad Trudeau was for Alberta? He did a lot of damage and Carney is nowhere close to that bad

      I’ll give you that, although he’s not much better. He’s talking about the possibility of building a pipeline, Justin built a pipeline. And his price for doing that is a massive increase in carbon taxes for the oil fields which will make them far less competitive globally. So I don’t know about the whole nowhere close business. He may not be as bad but I don’t know that he’s that far off

        Trudeau did build an oil pipeline, but natural gas and oil sands projects were cancelled to focus on greener alternatives. Those would have been big for Alberta’s economy.

          Oh absolutely true, don’t get me wrong I wasn’t suggesting for real was in any way shape or form good for the Alberta economy or province. I was just pointing out that as bad as he was currently isn’t substantially better
