Look, tackling climate change would be nice sure, but in these tough economic times, we have to stay laser focused on the 3.8% of global GDP contributed by the oil and gas industry

You either support liberal policies or you're a never-happy-degrowth-anticapitalist says Max. Also lol: "In climate terms, getting a Conservative premier of Alberta to sign off on a triple-digit carbon price is like getting a Quebec premier to sign their province onto the Constitution."

It is far beyond bizarre that a person who is a very open and explicit racial supremacist—not just in his 'views' but in his highly engaged worldwide political activism—retains for so many the aura of a smart leader deserving of vast public subsidies and consumer devotion.

Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause. She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos. This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.
