do you think a constitutional crisis in Alberta matters to Justin Trudeau? I don't. The first quote in the article tells you all you need to know. It doesn't make economic sense.
I find the Trudeau government has actually been good for oil in Canada. His government is all about rhetoric. When you cut away the rhetoric, the situation in our oil industry is actually vastly better than it was in 2015. We have significantly increased takeaway capacity. That's helpful. They just approved offshore Newfoundland. Pipeline capacity increased Oil production is up about 20% since he took over without the WCS differential getting worse due to the takeaway capacity increase. All of that has happened while at the same time his government has been labelled anti oil. Could it be better? Absolutely. But the industry itself is thriving and his government continues to be viewed as anti oil which goes to show you how uneducated the left vote actually is. For the record, I've never voted Liberal in my life
