Blaming democracy takes responsibility away from elected officials. #cdnpoli
AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Oh no, you mean independence would be fiscal suicide because oil is in the toilet at $68 a barrel? Owning resources doesn’t automatically make you wealthy. Cheap oil is bad news for Alberta, even with another pipeline. Who’s going to tell them? #cdnpoli
Once again, for the hundredth time: Alberta could solve this with a simple PST. You'd be able to balance the budget *and* save non-renewable resource royalties for the future.

But, of course, the self-appointed "fiscal conservatives" won't entertain the idea. #abpoli

Of course Trump is thinking about ripping up the trade deal with Canada.
He sees us as an enemy.
Canada must consider the cost we are willing to pay to protect our democracy and independence from an aggressive and authoritarian regime.
