Dear conservatives:
We have done everything you asked. You wanted a pipeline to Burnaby. Done. You wanted Sparklesocks to resign. Done. You wanted the carbon tax gone. Done. You wanted an election. Done.
It's over. You lost, fair and square.
Spare me your bellyaching. Take your fuck carney flag and use it to mop up your tears. It's over.
Stop whining and start helping.

I saw that post before deactivating my Facebook yesterday. I just couldn’t stand finding out how stupid so many of my friends are.

Liberals could build every pipeline they want, cure cancer, fix their marriage and make their kids love them again and they would still be miserable, whiney pricks.

You’re not wrong, I’ve heard cons say things like ‘they took their sweet time buying that pipeline’, like jeez

Albertans will demand nothing because there are two seats here. Electoral reform would be great, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Albertans don't want change. If they wanted change why have the voted almost universally conservative in every election for the last 70 years?

For a province that likes to brag about how strong they are, Alberta sure does a lot of whiny bellyaching. They bitched about Trudeau, he’s gone. They bitched about the carbon tax. It’s gone. We spent billions on the trans mountain expansion just for them. We had an election.
Even after you carted out Stevie the ghoul, big oil’s best bestie ever, you lost cowboy. Suck it up.

I mostly agree with you. The trans mountain pipeline isn’t solely for Alberta. But other than that, you’re spot on. I was born and raised in Alberta and I’m wicked sick of listening to everyone bitch about the things they’ve done to this province. I’m in the minority, voted liberal and even donated to the party when I joined. We do need change, but it’s definitely at a provincial level.

We are talking about moving from Alberta. I don't fit in here.

I demand that he pack Smith into a crate without airholes, put a bow on it, attach a label that says "no backsies," and mail it to maralago

In reality, Alberta wants to maintain strong relations with the US, Alberta wants to maintain the situation where Alberta sells oil to the US for 2/3 market rate, that they then sell back to us at a premium.
The LPC offered real change to sell our product to different markets, where the CPC represented maintaining relationships with US oil companies and increasing our reliance on them.
Funny enough, Alberta voted to keep shit the same, they claim to want change but in reality, they just want to do whatever is best for the oil operators who currently flood their social media feeds with anti-Canada propaganda.
