Big tough oil men turn into limpwristed traitors who knuckle under when Trump calls to them. Fucking embarrassing.
Nationalize the oil already. Get the foreign corporations and their brain dead lackeys out.

She’s been sucking MAGA dick for so long it’s scrambled her brain. I can’t believe people voted for this traitorous loser.
It’s probably the lead and other toxins in the water. Basically brain worm.
I got banned for saying this on Ribbit.
Doesn’t surprise me - I got a lifetime IP ban for saying “Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell”
The tone of this is disgusting from Smith. God I am so fucking sick of conservatives. Every demand is just climate change horseshit that wont help Canada. But I think the PM should probably agree to many of these. We should probably build pipelines, and lift the tanker ban in B.C. Bring back plastic bags and plastic straws because conservatives are actual fucking children who cant compromise on basic shit like that without shitting their pants. The net-zero car mandate can be removed because its just a virtue signal anyways and people will shift to EV’s naturally, because they are just way better in every conceivable way. Ignore the rest of the demands. This will give them a win, they can stick their pacifiers back into their mouths, and we can handle the crisis we are dealing with now. Once the political situation is stabilized we can get back to work on plastics and climate change etc. But Smith is a fucking traitor and needs to go eventually.
I think nothing actually pisses me off more then the Albertan oil dudes who are constantly bitching and complaining about how they are so mistreated. I lived in Edmonton for 2 years and met a lot of oil patch folks. And I have a few friends of friends who work there. Every single one, without exception, is ROLLING in fucking money that they don’t know what to do with. They buy themselves a big truck that they don’t even use most of the time because they fly to fucking work (company pays for plane tickets) they buy themselves a condo, and they go to country bars every weekend and blow 100’s of dollars on booze and strippers and blow. Give me a fucking break acting like your this poor oppressed people because the rest of Canada wanted to lead by example in fighting climate change and keeping plastics out of the environment. Fuck me. A lot of our environmental stuff can be reasonably disagreed with. I am a builder and personally I think a lot of the step code in new homes is pretty impractical and a bit green-washy. We have added a shitload of extra costs to homes in plastics and tapes and insulation and labor making homes slightly more efficient, by just a few %, when the manufacturing of all that material far outweighs the savings in energy. However, I don’t feel the need to tear the country apart over it. I accept that I will eat some extra costs in this stuff and make slightly less, but overall, its still pretty awesome to be a builder and live in Canada. Maybe ill try to make arguments to local politicians, or vote for the changes I want to see. Threatening unity in Canada during this moment in time is fucking unforgivable.
Please don’t bring back plastic bags. Seeing those bags stuck way up high in trees always makes me sad. Paper bags are fine.
-Signed, someone who can never fucking remember to bring a reusable bag into the store
This may or may not help you, but what I do is: store my reusable bags with my shoes, so every time I reach for a pair of shoes before I leave the house, I could also grab a bag.
I gotta get the bags into the store instead of leaving them in the car. I don’t go into stores enough to make it a habit.
I hear you. I don’t go to stores often either nowadays. Just to get my weekly groceries and every 2-3 weeks, I’d go to Home Hardware or Canadian Tire.
What rapper bags bro? It’s cotton bags everywhere. I’d rather have biodegradable plastic
No thanks less microplastics.
Cotton degrades, plastic just keeps getting smaller for a few centuries until it finally breaks down. And most of those bags are just non disposable plastic.
You think’cotton" bags are 100% pure no-plastic cotton? Try burning one and see if there’s no plastic.
You can get 100% cotton items, probably even bags if you look hard enough, but you’re right, most cotton items are a cotton synthetic blend.
The demands:
-
give Alberta full access to export oil to the north, east, west, south, up, and down
-
stop saying mean things about oil and gas
-
acknowledge that carbon dioxide is what plants crave
-
double pollution in other provinces so Alberta doesn’t stand out so much
-
put a tariff on the sun to stop solar power being so underpriced
-
end the prohibition on littering
-
dig a canal through B.C. so oil tankers can get to Edmonton
-
halt the federal censorship of energy companies
So:
We’re tired of you abusing Alberta’s land, let us abuse land in all the other provinces and at least one territory (for some reason)?
She is wrong on the co2. brawndo is what plants crave, it has electrolytes.
acknowledge that carbon dioxide is what plants crave
I didn’t know brawndo was carbonated

As an Albertan, I fail to see see what leverage she thinks she has here. Our province consistently votes conservative regardless of how many bones the Liberals are throwing us (ex, buying a pipeline to ensure it gets constructed when the owner backs out) or how much the Conservatives ignore us.
Leaving Canada to either form an independent nation or join the US are both wildly unpopular, and there’s nothing she can say that’ll drum up enough support for either to occur. If she decides to “turn off the taps,” her O&G overlords will punish her.
Like many of the dipshits making good money with little to no education in this province, she has a wildly inflated sense of our importance and value.
All I heard was:
No Team Canada approach unless you make me Team leader! Waaaaaah!
Marlaina Smith can eat a bag of dicks.
In this economy???
A handful of dicks is the best I can do
Sold!
I was thinking it was going to be some crazy wack a doodle things but the first few items I could understand, but then we got into the crazy wack a doodle things.
I really hope CSIS can do something more than slap her wrists.
(Follow up to my other comment) If Smith is going to choose Team Trump if Carney doesn’t meet all her insane demands, then Alberta voters know she has already made her choice.
Jeez, I thought my premier was bad (Ford), but to think that she’s not just corrupt and stupid, but openly being hostile to fellow Canadians during this moment of crisis.
Albertans needs to have a hard look at how much money the oil barons are stealing from them and think about whether it’s worth letting someone so selfish to lead them. The fact that the richest province in the country has one of the lowest public spending and lowest wages is something to to really think about.
Right. So what I’m reading from this is that she wants Alberta to be Crimea. The US will come to “free” Alberta and leave the rest of us alone for a few years.
A proper headline would be “Premier Smith has another whiny little O&G hissy fit, admits she’s been a separatist all along.”
Fucking Nazi scumbag is destroying our province faster than ever, and the rural vote keeps supporting her because “fuck them trans weirdos.”
I have some sympathy for the hard left in the US right now, because how they’re being treated by the rest of the world is how Alberta as a whole is being treated by the rest of Canada.
Maybe it’s justified, I don’t know anymore. Smith should be charged with High Treason when she comes back from Florida at the end of this month, but instead our American-owned media will fawn over her for ‘decisive leadership’ and ‘putting Alberta first.’
We’re trying folks, we’re trying in Alberta to stop her.
The last referendum was 49%. An “unprecedented” national unity crisis could only mean that they actually leave. Which would get them none of their demands from the feds and other provinces…
Yeah, they’d only have one direction to build pipelines in and the US would do whatever they could to rat fuck Alberta into joining the union.
There’s no chance they can exist independently.
So, derangement. Gotcha.
What unity does Ms Smith uphold now that she could take away? I know only brief moments when her party hasn’t been part of the problem, and specifically part of the problem by acting against the best interests of the country over and over.
Danielle could be immortalized as the plastic fork warrior, the kindest words I have for that idiot.
Alberta has a very high concentration of Americans that are here to take as much money as they can. Big oil in Alberta are actually Americans, well except for Nexen which Harper allowed be sold to the Chinese CPP. The locals didn’t watch Kids In the Hall, these ones do spread for (wild) roses every chance they get.
