I do not belong to any party. If I am criticizing what you say, it's because I think you're full of nonsense not because I belong "to the other side".

    [Thread]: I’m going to take this line of “reduce taxes and put more money in people’s pockets” apart because I’m tired of this anti-govt/anti-tax libertarian nonsense. /1

  3. This is one of 's talking muppets - record levels of arrogance speaking here. Interestingly, Blaise seems to have culled his timeline rather carefully. Keep records - these guys are trying to sanitize their history of arrogance and bullying behaviour for the elxn.

    Do you mean this person? How very interesting. Is she a Hobby farmer or Senior loss adjuster in the Energy Division? Do we have to do the research for you?

    The behavior of UCP MLAs and their supporters here is concerning.

  8. We told you Trump was going to go after LGTBQ rights and he did. We told you Ford was going to go after LGTBQ rights and he did. We told you Bolsonaro was going to go after LGTBQ rights and it's the first thing he did. Do you believe us about Kenney yet?

    Do tell us, brainiac, how you're going to bypass the Supreme Court.

    Patience and wisdom are needed far more than anger, rage and foot-stamping. That will get us nowhere. Going forward, we need governments who are willing to work with industry, but at the same time ensure that the best interests of Alberta and Canada are represented too. /17

    It's frustrating as hell to see one of Canada's most lucrative industries caught in a legal and ethical stalemate. Untangling this is a matter of time and statecraft. /16

    None of this can legitimately be placed at the feet of , whose government inherited the legacy of politicians willing to be captive to the whims of an industry which only benefits Alberta when it suits them. /15

    and presto, we have most of the projects that were on the table either stillborn (NG, EE), or tied up in the courts (TMX, KXL - although KXL is tangled up in US litigation). /14

    Harper wanted to make it easier for these projects, so he narrowed the scope of consultation considerably, a change which enraged people who might otherwise have been amenable to persuasion. /13

    Add to that the consequences of Harper's fiddling with the regulatory processes around approval in 2012, which were just becoming clear as various stakeholders sued the government over project approvals. /12

    Fast forward to 2015, American shale production ramps up, flooding the commodity market with a (relatively - compared to bitumen) easily processed crude source, and the bottom falls out of the market as a result. /11

    Alberta (and Canada) needed to start investing in both upgrading/refining and tidewater pipelines 20 years ago. Instead, a series of captive governments chose to go along with the line that industry was spouting because it was easy. /10

    Necessarily, that relationship will be adversarial to some extent. The interests of the state and those of any industry are at odds from time to time. /9

    This is important, because it points out the problem that having a government which is captive to the industry (as Klein allowed Alberta to become): Industry looks out for its own interests, not the interests of the state it operates in, or the people who work there. /8

    Yet, as recently as 2012, we were still being told to "just ship it south to the US refineries which have already made the investments to process bitumen" /7

    Charitably, we've had 15 years to figure out that the US wasn't going to be our "good buddy customer" for all the raw crude we could produce. /6
