Untrue for oil and gas. Alberta has seen windfall gains on oil and gas growing year over year. Under trudeau profits rose their fastest and most sustained in albertan history. Carney now building a second pipeline, more markets equals better asking price. Offering even cheaper rates for products already on a market is self defeating.

I guess you meant water though. Alberta actually is more water sensitive than most of the country, so that wouldn't be wise.

Ummm, no...I was talking about the oil royalties. That's the equivalent of "ownership stock" in Alberta's most profitable resource. If they give that to the US, then they collect a share of everything the oil companies pull out of the ground. That's revenue that belongs to everyone in Alberta, and these fucks are planning on selling it to the Americans in exchange for treason.

Ah that is my point too. Selling out resources to the Americans as opposed to finding new markets at market rates, means these people are dont care about albertan prosperity.
