Hoping for the ABNDP to come to the realization that taking Danielle Smith's side on this issue is not the smartest move. The idea that "we must back O&G profiteers because we live in Alberta" is not the kind of governance expected from the under-represented in Alberta. This isn't about Ottawa vs. Alberta. This is about our tax dollars being sunk into private profits at the grave expense of our national resources and environment. Danielle Smith knows that the ABNDP is pro-oil. She didn't post this because she actually believes in what the sensationalized Rebel News-inspired meme says. She posted this because she wants to divide us, knowing that the ABNDP has already taken shots at the Federal NDP, and Avi Lewis specifically, for refusing to support excessive oil extraction and for supporting green alternatives. She posted this because she wants the ABNDP to join her divisive politics against Federal bodies in solidiarty with Alberta Oil. So far, it looks like the ABNDP has taken the bait, by this comment on their repost of Danielle Smith to "prove" that they are on the side of O&G. Let's be clear, they don't need to do that. We already know (whether we agree with it or not), that they are pro-oil. We don't need them unironically repost Danielle Smith to know. Note that neither Avi Lewis nor Ottawa are against Alberta industry. This is what Avi really said: "The oil industry is unwilling to pay for this pipeline because even they know the world is moving away from fossil fuels. This project leaves Canadians bearing all the risks of a bad investment without any of the rewards. Projects that truly serve the national interest would lower costs, create good jobs, protect our environment and prepare us for the green economy of the future." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #oil #energy #Environment #climate #climatechange #climatecrisis
