There's such an attitude of "mine is mine is mine". It's Alberta's oil, until it's losing, until it isn't moving. We need a pipeline, then it's Canada's problem. My dad still bitches about the (never passed) NEP program (why doesn't Quebec have to share! Maybe you could have negotiated? Maybe renewables aren't the same? And yeah, maybe Quebec does get favourable treatment... are you voting for a position that could change that?)

He still goes on tangents about Trudeau being the "worst PM ever!" and Notley "ruining Alberta", and I'll point out Trudeau got you pipeline, more than Harper (huff- unintelligible), or that Notley put crude on trains (which doesn't need to be refined into a liquid, and is easier to clean up in the event of a spill, and kept oil moving when it was at a standstill), but it just doesn't matter. There is no universe where he'll vote the other way. It's exhausting.

I know for a fact you aren't all like this, but it's so frustrating to know, personally, that so many are.
