    1. Solution X you do know that he didn’t even get the majority of the seats in Qc. Shut off the taps if you want, all gas in Qc comes from AB and 56% of its oil comes from AB, so you want to loose more jobs? Lots of ppl sell oil and gas. 😂 This argument is so dumb.

    2. Elie M the point would be less oil and gas, and less equalization payments to Quebec. That alone would be worth it , then Quebec would get an idea of what Albertans are going through. Mr Blanchett has said some very hurtful things to Alberta and our children are listening to this

    1. @Diego Odorizzi Québec Will just buy it somewhere else. Like, you know, the big country south of the border. Or any other country actually, because Québec is not landlocked like Alberta 🤣

    2. Jonathan Gregoire …Hahahahaha!….that’s a lot of oil that needs replacing. I’m sure your new suppliers won’t bend you over a barrel on the price. Enjoy your new Vancouver like fuel prices..🤣🤣🤣

    1. @T Boned yeo u jealous of winnipeg u jealous u lose u jealous u got no power you blue itu voted for master weasel kenny he invented selling out his own.

    2. @Virginia Addis You do know your cat is walking across your keyboard during your typing. It’s a series of words mixed up with gibberish. You should look up before hitting “return”.
      Oh and Quebecers can gfy.

    3. The crystal meth must be really strong out east . There’s Quebecors here who think Quebec is super awesome and better than Calgary! Yet they don’t understand that Quebec is supported financially by Calgary… Or maybe they’re just those refugees Trudeau sent without asking the democratic country again??

    1. @F V males have an XY chromosome and females have an XX chromosome. You better go taddle tale on me to your corporate masters and have me silenced.

    2. robearl1983 Thank you for something patently obvious but if that’s your defence for Albertans understanding science, then you’re already dead.

    3. @F V you could abolish all of Canada tomorrow and it wouldn’t make any difference to the climate change theory. Our PM has turned our once healthy economy into a debt ridden service sector economy which is being artificially propped up by a real estate bubble.

    4. robearl1983 He’s actually pretty moderate, but since you guys were so stubbornly defiant, he’s going to team up with the NDP and things will be even worse for you.

      Stings, I know.

    5. @F V ironically Trudeau will be the one who puts the final nail in public healthcare. We now have 600 billion in unfunded liabilities in the health care system. He isn’t even trying to fund it anymore

  1. That was the last word…for today. More to come. Well said Don. Premier Kenney said Quebec should pick a lane…. Turn LEFT and take the next lane out of Canada. And Take Justin with you!

    1. The great country of Quebec would like to thank the hard working suckers in Alberta and Saskatchewan for paying the tax so that those “Equalization Transfer Payments” can keep on coming in. Comrade Trudeau must continue to punish those neo-con Western provinces. I hope Alberta and Saskatchewan go broke. LMFAO

  2. Alberta – turn off the tap! The rest of Canada will only pay attention to deeds, not posturing. DO SOMETHING!

  3. Quebec never intends to separate It would die within days of weaning it’s self off the money trough we call Canada I absolutely can see why Alberta’s enraged This is morally wrong
