Hey Canadians: What do you make of Alberta Premier Smith breaking down on Saturday during a speech when she started talking about oil pipelines being cancelled and other “injustices”. It strikes me as.... odd. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.7351223 #CanPoli #CdnPoli #ABPoli

    If I take her at face value sure, yes, there are going to be people and are people who are angry that we are not developing every single drop of oil and gas possible. But that does not negate the fact, the physics, of the problem we are in. We must stop developing oil and gas energy. We must stop emitting CO2. We must end the use of fossil fuels. That means at the end of the day all Danielle Smith's tears accomplish, in both the short and long term, are tears for all the rest of us as our homes burn, our crops dry out, and our societies become unable to function. We must transition to clean energy immediately to avoid a disastrous future. Smith's tears, genuine or not, are not helping anyone. #CanPoli #CdnPoli #ABPoli

    @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca As an Albertan - I've never seen her tear up about issues with people. So it does confirm her priorities of "oil > people".
