Natural Gaslighting: the Canada-Alberta Pipeline MOU is Built on a Blatant Pack of Lies
Smith’s narrative that the Federal government “abused” and “took Alberta for granted” requires that we ignore two colossal global events: OPEC's 2014 price war and 2021-2022 price gouging.

Natural Gaslighting: the Canada-Alberta Pipeline MOU is Built on a Blatant Pack of Lies
Since 2014, Canada and Alberta together have faced two historic disruptions in oil prices - one low, one high - that were driven entirely by Saudi Arabia and OPEC.

If you're wondering how bad misinformation and disinformation in Canada is, The Premiers cut health care, blamed it on the feds, and got away with lying about it.
Canada's Premiers Cut Health Care then Ran a Nationwide Campaign to Blame the Feds Instead. The Scam Worked.

This one historical fact is the most misunderstood event in 🇨🇦.
I am a pragmatist about energy and development, but the entire line that the federal government is to blame for the 2014 oil price crash which was a deliberate act of financial warfare aimed at North American shale producers. Prices dropped 70% in 2 years.

There’s lots that’s wrong with this MOU, but the biggest problem is that it’s based on a completely false telling of history since 2010.
Carney and Smth keep repeating conservative spin that ignores the single biggest oil crash in history in 2014, which in Canada you would think had never happened

Canada and Alberta are focused on what we can control: building a stronger, more sustainable, more competitive, and more independent economy together.

2) The studies are flawed
3) This is largely a huge waste of time and money
