These people are so brainless. It’s not about a pipeline it’s about being obstructionist for no damn reason except ThEy HaTe OtTaWa.
Clown fucking province.
UCP members toward any problem... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOR38552MJA
We must blame them and cause a fuss, before somebody thinks of blaming us!!!
The federal libs need to stop making deals with Alberta cons. No matter what you do, you won't get their vote or support, so stop kowtowing to them and ruining the rest of the country and world in the process for fucks sake.
Oh for sure. Marlaina will backstab Carney at any moment that it benefits her.
I hate the idea of this pipeline but I won't turn down an opportunity to enjoy internal troubles for that despicable party.
Also, this tweet from the article:
“The only way Alberta’s getting the pipeline built is if we leave Canada.”
Where you building it to, pal? You can build whatever pipelines you want in Alberta, and I doubt anyone would stop you building one to the US if you can find financing for it or finance it provincially yourselves. You sure as fuck aren't more likely to get a pipeline across BC as an independent state or as part of the US.
Pretty equal chance this guy wants us to be America's upper penis, or genuinely thinks BC would join us. If it's the former, he's just as delusional about how that would go.
I have come to think of UCP as the Ultimate Complaint Party.
I prefer the UCP - ISeePoo party myself.
🤣 best t-shirt ever
The way they insist on producing fossil energy instead of renewable energy is the real problem.
Well they have so much Dino juice in the soil. The industrial revolution kinda said dig it up!
No need to dig it up faster than emissions can be processed.
They have nothing left to complain about now
They'll always be on and on and on about equalization payments unfortunately.
They'll find something new to complain about. They always do.
Then they'll complain about having nothing to complain about.
Their entire personality is based on shitting on the libs. They have no policy, no platform. They are a hate group.
Terrible headline. She got applause when she talked about the pipeline deal. The boos came later when she asked if they were more comfortable in Canada than they were a few days ago.
The boos came later when she asked if they were more comfortable in Canada than they were a few days ago.
And the pipeline deal is why she was asking, so what's the difference, exactly?
The title suggests that the attendees were booing the pipeline deal. What they were actually booing was the idea of remaining in Canada.
I can't tell if it's because Lemmy doesn't want good things to happen in Alberta, or good things to happen do to Carney. It kinda feels like it's one of the two canards, though.
Dislike both. This is a merger of the two terribles.
So you don't like good things if they're politically inconvenient?
Hopping on the oil and gas train is a good thing? I have an Inconvenient Truth for you.
A pipeline that never gets built and an oil lobbyist premier in political hot water is not that.
Mmm popcorn.
There's going to be more turmoil where that came from. She's a true believer, and this is the part where the reality rudely interrupts her weird petrofantasy.
The convention is completely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is what conservative voters will do, which is not at all the same thing.
I'm still unsure how I feel about the MOU. At first glance, I absolutely hate it. But if it helps split the wiser Conservative party (watch even the UCP booing and cheering) while still allowing Indigenous groups the ability to say "fuck off, no." Then that to me, seems like a pretty good political win...
But I may have a case of wishful thinking.
