It turns out unreasonable extremists are both extreme and unreasonable.
Danielle Smith has been saying for months that an agreement on oil would "take the wind out of the sails" of a resurgent independence movement. What if that was not correct? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Danielle Smith’s oil deal with Mark Carney was supposed to quiet Alberta’s separatists. Too bad they didn’t get the message
Separatists swiftly criticized the lack of immediate action on a pipeline and the agreement from Alberta to increase its industrial price on carbon.
