I love these rants, but I also agree with Max that most Albertans tune them out without hearing a word
Another year, another record high for Canadian oil and gas production. At some point, the oil and gas industry and its various proxies might want to face up to the fact that Liberal governments are actually good for their business. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/06/o...
Justin Trudeau never killed the oil and gas industry
The former prime minister's supposed hostility towards Alberta's defining industry is an article of faith among Canadian Conservatives. The facts tell a much different story.

What application? Mine seems to do everything needed
2/ I absolutely agree EV, solar, wind, are the way. But there are applications that, so far, EV has not stood up to. So far. It will take time for tech, and people, to evolve and adapt. A little patience is needed.

President Trump warned that Democrats would “find a reason to impeach me” if the GOP lost control of Congress, pressuring lawmakers to unify behind a narrow set of electoral priorities to win the 2026 midterm elections.
Trump warns of third impeachment if House Republicans lose midterms

OK, let’s give it a one year no-tariff, no ticky-tacky ‘rules’ to exclude cheap imports. I’ll buy mine, you can buy yours, but I’m sure everyone else will de ide on ‘more expensive’, just like with Toyotas.

Well, sure, but also a lack of 100% tariff and close proximity of the global lead manufacturer helps a tom, too, in keeping the price down
Wrong way of thinking about it. Of those who can afford a new car in Nepal, most are buying BEVs
Petrol is a very expensive import there and domestic hydro electricity is cheap. Makes perfect sense
