Danielle Smith has become an ego maniac

"There is no B.C. coast. It's Canada's coast. There are no B.C. ports. There are Canada's ports”

Wait till the rest of Canada finds out natural resources are shared amongst the country!

David Eby is a circus freak but Danielle Smith has become an ego maniac. She wants to build another oil pipeline to Kitimat. We can talk about that but her defiant sense of entitlement is completely out of control. It's reminiscent of Raging Rachel Notley. I am sick of the childish temper tantrums coming out of Alberta. We're so much better than everyone else. STFU. 

First she goes off about how Alberta owns Alberta oil then her and Scott Moe claim it's not BC's port it's Canada's port. Oh really? Does that mean it's not Alberta's oil it's Canada's oil? 

All these childish temper tantrums and entitlement are becoming a bit too much to stomach. All people are equal. Period. Alberta is no better than anywhere else. Remember the Rachel Notley insanity? We were negotiating a second pipeline to Vancouver. 

John Horgan was like OK we want to have a say in the flow of oil. If our ports become too congested, we want to be able to dial it back a bit. Oh no she said. BC has no say whatsoever in the volume of oil we pump. We pump as much oil as we want and you have no say whatsoever. 

Then he asks OK what if there's an oil spill? Will you help pay for clean up? Oh no she says. We won't pay a dime for clean up. If there's an oil spin on your coast it's your problem. 

That was unrealistic. We had hoped a businessman like Jason Kenny would be a bit more practical. He was not. He was a defiant dick who bragged about price fixing. He jacked up the price of gas at the pump then paid for a full page add in the local paper and said want cheaper gas? Try more supply. That kind of defiant arrogance was astounding. 

That's when I said let's build a wall between BC and Alberta. Airlift your oil to China. David Eby is without question a circus freak whose spending is completely irresponsible. Yet Danielle Smith's arrogance is creating a great divide. 

I'm from Vancouver. I like Quebec and the Maritimes more than Alberta and Ontario. That's not to say I'm against pipelines. It means I'm against defiant arrogance and entitlement. All these pipelines have mass government subsidies and investment. It's more welfare fraud. You want us to subsidize your industry so you can make more money. Go f*ck yourself. 

Then she says well we're just going to send more oil to the US. Go ahead. No one cares. You already have a pipeline to Michigan that's not being used any more because they don't want the stockpiles of petroleum coke from refining it. The world doesn't owe you anything. Neither does the rest of Canada. 

One minute you're threatening to separate from Canada. Then the next minute you're demanding free access to Canadian ports. You can't have it both ways. If you separate from Canada you have no access to Canadian ports. 

Either way if you want to use our ports, you need to negotiate a fair deal. You can't bully us into letting you use them for free. You're not giving your oil and gas for free. You not going to use our ports for free either. It's not all about you. You're not the only one on the planet. Then there's the coal. 

Natural gas is clean burning. Industrial coal is not. Banning natural gas is insane. So is expanding industrial coal. Especially when it could contaminate your ground water. Your selfishness and greed need to be brought under control. You might as well bring back asbestos. That would be backwards not forward. 

Alberta's old coal mines contaminating rivers and endangering fish

Coal mine pollution could put southern Alberta's water, animals and food industry at risk - that includes beef.

The Fraser Institute is reporting that "According to the latest calculations, the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, which the Trudeau government purchased from Kinder Morgan in 2018, will cost $3.1 billion more than the $30.9 billion projected last May, bringing the total cost to about $34 billion—more than six times the original estimate." Thanks to SNC Lavalin. Underbid, over charge.

That's $34 billion federal tax dollars all the other provinces have to kick in to help Alberta make money. I'm not opposed to pipelines but the entitlement and the defiant arrogance needs to come to an end. So does the welfare fraud. 

Pierre Poilievre stopped just short of naming Danielle Smith, dismissing her pipeline remarks and stressing she has no authority.

He urged people to ignore provincial politicians on the issue, saying the real decision rests with Mark Carney. pic.twitter.com/ajGFxA0RCp
