I can't ... I just can't: Former national director of the Liberals urges @JustinTrudeau to kill the pipeline he spent $4.5B of our $ on to win Oct. 21 election: 🤣 Killing TransMountain Pipeline expansion could be Trudeau path to victory nationalnewswatch.com/2019/04/22/kil… #cdnpoli #abpoli

He says: 'Having lived in Alberta for just over a year before the election, I’ve just started to get a feel for the place ... Alberta clearly still has a few burials to endure before the progressive agenda put forward by outgoing-Premier Rachel Notley commands majority support."

"Many Albertans seem to remain impervious to the steady march of time. Many cling to a cowboy culture that can feel like an artificial import."

"But most importantly, a majority clearly believe the dead dinosaurs (i.e., oil and gas) under their province are theirs by divine right."

"Some openly espouse views that are understood to be racist, misogynist or homophobic outside, which is true anywhere but, as this election showed repeatedly, it seems a little more mainstream here."

This, folks, is the Laurentian Elite run amok.

BTW, thanks to a follower for pointing out Jamie Carroll took the opposite position a year ago:
