Alberta Premier wasted billions of dollars He's only lost about 13 billion tax dollars in the last year on bad investment and policy. This is fine (we're living in this meme now) The same provincial premier that wants to move every Alberta resident pensions from federally run, to provincially run. You make it seem like he hasnt before Welp, there goes our tax dollars from our taxes, schools, healthcare, industry, car insurance... and so on. Wasted on useless oil pipelines that were bound to be cancelled Alberta premier rode in from Ottawa thinking he could buy his way into a hero costume. Hes the most tone-deaf leader weve had. I remember when he rented that F-150 or whatever it was and carted his awkward blue denim shirts for photo ops by ranches. What a fake. (Im from rural southern Alberta and guy just sits in his dome and plays golf.) No, it just means Alberta has to sue to get the money back. Alberta and the pipeline company relied on the Trump permit, spent a lot of money and have been doing construction activities for months. Companies are entitled to rely on issued permits, so if a permit is subsequently pulled like this, the company, or other invested parties like Alberta, have the right to sue for recovery of any losses. Im from Alberta, and my dumbass premier banked everything on this pipeline. Now hell probably just go blame Trudeau and Biden for his stupid decision. Well hopefully just as trump led to a surge of right wing populism globally Joe will lead a surge of sanity. Now hell probably just go blame Trudeau no "probably" about it. He'll do it because it keeps working I'm from B.C. and I have to agree with Biden! Why ship 'Canadian oil through the states to the Mexican Gulf and pay America a royalty for doing so. Cut them out with a pipeline west across B.C. to the pacific and far east customers such as China, and extend the eastern pipeline through Quebec (cut off their equalization payments if they object) to the Atlantic, Europe and beyond. America first? Let's try a little Canada first! He didnt bank everything. He provided loan guarantees that kicked in when the project met certain milestones. It hasnt, so AB loses nothing. Trudeau, Biden, and the NDP for some reason. Anyone but himself. Fortunately we all have those open-pit coal mines to look forward to instead. Seriously when will the alberta government acknowledge they can't ride the oil train as their main source of revenue anymore. Can you elaborate? Im from Saskatchewan so I dont know too much about Albertas politics, other thank Kenney is a fucking corpo shit. Not just him. Funding for Canada's national green plan was coming from the pipeline. Means less green projects in Canada. Honestly... everything about Alberta seems like it was poorly managed and living in 1990 since Kenney was elected. He wouldnt be wrong . Western Canada pays all the bills but has never had Federal support . How so? The feds bought Trans Mountain did they not? Yup , but it has to go down through Nebraska and that wont happen . Uh no. Trans Mountain goes from Alberta to the BC coast. The feds bought it and are pushing ahead with it. But you say we never have federal support. The entire economy essentially. Our previous premier started diversifying our economy, with varying results, but Kenney essentially bet 7.5 billion (1.5 already paid) that it will bring jobs and high paying ones at that back to Alberta. In the mean time he cut millions from education and healthcare. Thats the cliff notes version Jason Kenney is an absolute joke. No one with a shred of common sense will take anything he says seriously. Who's going to reward Trump's Russian benefactors now that XL is dead? Hardly seems fair. After all the hard work he did carving out a special exemption for the single largest steel consuming project in the U.S to use Russian steel while publicly pretending to favor U.S. companies. Guess we'll just have to rely on Mitch McConnel's deal with a mass murdering Russian oligarch to provide Russian steel under the guise of a "U.S. company" that just happened to spend hundreds of No
