> [@K364](#): > > Seriously, my point is that frustrating the production and distribution of fossil fuels without having an alternative in place will end up crippling the economy for the entire country… and how’s that going to help the development of alternative energy sources? And my point is, there hasn’t been an economical argument in favor of Albertan Oil for years, almost decades now. Both the provincial and federal governments have been shoveling money, in one form or another, to the Albertan oil industry, and they keep laying people off, because even with that support, they can’t make a profit. At this point, Alberta is like Newfies fishing in empty oceans, but without the jokes. ---

> [@swampspruce](#): > > But it’s all the NDP’s fault…right. Well, to be fair, many in Alberta blame Trudeau. Of course, they also blame him for the weather, for starting World War 1 and for when they stepped on a nail last Thursday. Trudeau is evil that way. ---
