Captive Albertans can't be unimpressed with the thrill/terror of Alberta's Boom & Bust roller coaster. As long as this government, or variation there of, is at the helm we are in for the ride.
Booming is great and the government is quick to take credit—well maybe the Alberta Secret Service has agents stirring up wars to drive oil prices up. When it busts, we never hear about the people who worked so hard and lost their investments. I suspect the government and their media friends don't concern themselves with losers. The government is proud to claim Albertans are rich because of their Alberta Advantage, which is wearing a little thin now.
One topic Conservatives and their counterpart Republicans have managed to do is drown out the climate crisis and replace it with consumerism amidst the recent inflationary wails of affordability—bigger vehicles, bigger houses, flashier gadgets.
I really don't know why this government hasn't appealed to GOP to help Alberta become US incorporated territory. Perhaps they already have. After all, politically they're basically the same. They have leaders who in my mind are influenced by corporate wealth. Who paid for that Panama hovel by the sea. They have racism, we have federalism. Both strive for inequality. A penchant for hating healthcare and public schooling, anything really that would benefit the general public, and neoliberalism which I interpret as, "If you can't pay, ef off!"
I suppose one benefit of Smith's leadership if her energy people have their way, wind turbines won't have to worry about disturbing our mountain views—what mountains?
