Canada (and the world) is gonna burn. We’re not doing anywhere near enough to mitigate climate change.
I studied in Canada and I left the country a loooong time ago. Yet I still pay close attention to Canadian politics. Because I really want to see Canada improve. How do I say this without offending anyone?
I can speak my mind more bluntly because I’m a foreigner.
Many Alberta politicians act like absolute cunts.
Alberta is one of the Jewels of the Canadian Federation. Named after Princess Alberta the favorite daughter of Queen Victoria, it’s a beautiful province that was blessed with enormous ressources.
In 1974, the New York Times reported the province has so much money it doesn’t know what to do with it:
ALBERTA FLOODED WITH OIL REVENUE
At time when most governments at every level, are struggling hard to stay solvent, Alberta, which produces 83 per cent of Canada’’ oil, has more money than it knows what to do with.
Yet all I hear is constant whining, whining, whining, whining, whining.
According to Statistics Canada, under Justin Trudeau, Alberta reached the highest oil production levels in history. In fact, Justin Trudeau opened a brand new pipeline:
Despite this, all I keep hearing from Alberta politicians is how the evil Justin oppressed/raped/murdered/despised hard working ordinary Albertans folks.
One of the responsibility of having enormous natural ressources is managing sustainably to ensure the next generations can live in a good environment
Yet Alberta politicians just keep whining about environmental rules. If they want their constituents to have cancer because of heavy metals from fracking and mining, if they want their rivers polluted by single-use plastics, I honestly don’t care.
The core issue is these Alberta corrupt politicians seem determined to blow up the planet, claiming there is no alternative. Fort McMurray burned the fuck down. Jasper burned the fuck down. But clearly the Alberta political leaders learned nothing from it.
My advice to the great people of Alberta: Take back your province. Improve the education system. Alberta has produced many great artists, historians, authors, scientists. You gave Canada many great figures. Develop your province is a sustainable way so your children can be proud of you and have a healthy environment.
You deserve so much better than the current mess.
Bro it’s not just their politicians, most Albertans are huge ignorant cunts.
Oh wait most Canadians that fall into conservative ideas.
As an Albertan the optimism is appreciated but misplaced. You’re just setting yourself up for disappointment.
They really are trying to squeeze every last drop of profit out of the earth before the air diasolves us and the atmosphere just evaporates.
*before we overthrow them
Good job 👍🏻
