Just think it’s a bit weird that society has been brainwashed in to thinking that rich people and massive corporations having a bit less money is the main thing we need to avoid no matter what.

A pipeline in every direction wouldn't satisfy Alberta's extremists. It's never been about a pipeline, otherwise Notley and Trudeau would have been applauded. Dig a little deeper and it's about greed, guns, and hate.

"In BC’s Great Bear Rainforest, a study by CREST and Stanford University found that bear-viewing tourism generated 12 times more revenue than trophy hunting, supporting 510 jobs compared to just 11 from hunting. Protecting one bear creates a renewable source of income for a community."
Our latest piece, ‘Rewilding the Economy: Can Ecotourism Reconnect People and Planet?’, discusses how shifting even a fraction of public funding away from extraction and toward ecosystem protection would yield enormous social and economic returns.

Picard’s point on AB’s new “dual practice” plan: evidence shows letting surgeons bill public & private won’t fix wait times, it likely lengthens them, drains staff from public hospitals, adds red tape, and undermines access.

Hey Alberta... if you want access to peditricians for your kids get ready to pay.
Govt will keep the substantial taxes you are paying, plus you will have to pay out of pocket THOUSANDS simply for access..

Today, Alberta introduced Bill 9 and invoked the notwithstanding clause to shield three anti-trans laws from constitutional challenge. These laws deny gender-affirming care to youth, erase 2SLGBTQI identities from schools, and ban trans girls and women from sports.
