Globe editorial: Does Ottawa feel the pain in Alberta’s oil industry? GlobeDebate

This June 29, 2018 photo shows tanks at the Enbridge Energy terminal in Superior, Wis. If the Trudeau government is making a mistake in its handling of the pipeline issue, it may be that it is trying to play a game whose running time extends beyond its four-year mandate, and it is failing to see how aggravating that is to voters in Alberta.

Instead of being a light at the end of the tunnel, Line 3 is, for the moment, just another tunnel. It seems like Alberta can’t catch a break. Albertans are understandably frustrated, and much of their frustration has been directed at the Trudeau government. At times it feels like Mr. Trudeau could personally drive Alberta oil to port in Vancouver and his commitment would still be suspect.But telling exasperated voters that Alberta’s current shortage of pipeline capacity is proof that none will ever be built under an eastward-leaning Liberal government is an effective Conservative Party talking point. It’s a safe one, too, because it’s unlikely construction on the Trans Mountain expansion will start before the fall federal election.

GlobeDebate Yes ! As a consumer of gasoline, It really pains me to know Canada imports oil from Saudi Arabia! Canada should immediately end imports of foreign oil.

GlobeDebate No, 3 million to 8 million voters in Quebec- No, they could care less about Alberta

GlobeDebate Nope and media and our government barely took notice of a convoy expressing our anger over the 100,000 plus job losses , I guess we dont hold that many seats to worry about it,or maybe none of the CEOs of some oil and gas companies arent friends with Trudeau

GlobeDebate No Trudeau does not care he bought the Trans Mountain pipeline for way over price making sure no other interested company could afford to outbid taxpayers money and actually build the pipeline which Trudeau will never do

GlobeDebate No,why should he?All he cares about is to destroy Canada how ever way he can.

GlobeDebate 'In what other...industry has the Trudeau gov...nationalized...a critical piece of infrastructure..& vowed to carry through with a desperately needed expansion project in the face of...opposition? (He)could personally drive..oil to port..and his commitment would still be suspect'

GlobeDebate Libs don’t care 🤷‍♂️ that’s been clear for a few years now....

GlobeDebate When the same foreign money supporting the anti oil groups is also supporting their party I would be surprised if they even notice let alone care.

GlobeDebate They feel the non loss of 9,000 Quebec jobs alot more....next question

GlobeDebate Industries do not feel pain People do. Employment and prosperity should not be contingent on dying industries.
