Trump says the United States does not need oil, gas, vehicles, or lumber imports from his allies to the north.

Trump made the comments Thursday, in his first speech to world leaders since returning to the White House for his second term.

    Yeah. That’s the Alberta legislature, but what about its citizens? They’re gonna be out of a job unless Alberta thinks of something else.

    I have an idea: do what Peter lougheed promised to do, which won the election for the cons for the first time in decades. Do that. He didn’t, and they didn’t, so maybe now? Just grab his notes.

      they’re going to be out of a job

      Isnt that kind of their own fault, though? Aren’t they the ones that keep electing these mini brains who only care about themselves?

      Maybe we should do what I’ve been suggesting over and over and over and over and over again when I lived in Alberta and BUILD REFINING CAPACITY.

      I just can’t with them…I worked with so many O&G folks back in my day. Nobody ever wanted to acknowledge our dependence and vulnerability. Just whistling loudly past graveyard after graveyard.
