If Trump succeeds in taking control of Venezuela, Alberta's oil idustry tanks. Maybe she'll get punished for deepening dependence on oil.

Her base are morons, they will blame Ottawa.

I have faith in them. I have to have faith in them. I think that when reality gets bad enough the propaganda would stop working for more and more of them. I think it depends whether and how bad things get. I'm not suggesting they'll all turn on her but I hope enough would.

I was optimistic once too.

Even without Venezuela Trump has been very clear about wanting to drop oil prices. Whether it be lobbying OPEC, global trade instability or whatever "drill baby drill" is suppose to be.

For the latter part of your comment. I'll point to Trump's approval ratings, while as whole it's dropped noticeably his MAGA base is still pretty positive on him after pretty shit year for Americans. Alberta has a base where they'll point to Trudeau even though he'll be years removed and they saw peak outputs/revenue during his time.

I'm gonna take this as the one good piece of info I will read today, cause the rest of the news is just one big shit show. :/

You can say that again. A pretty depressing Sat all around.

Fucking Yankee traitors are going to have a lot to answer for in the next few months.

Haha, I said they must have had a bad poll when she blamed Nenshi for the Calgary pipe breaking yesterday. Too predictable!

Jfc. She couldn't tell the truth if her useless life depended on it.
