    Governments can only run huge deficits for so long to create the illusion that the energy sector doesn’t matter, if not fixed soon it will not only effect those who oppose it, but their great grandchildren too!

    Another chest beating knuckle dragger. Shove that populist bull$h!t into the same hole that you found the white suprematists in, then wipe it with c12. Won’t push the pipeline through Ontario, why ? You have a blue line from Alberta to Ontario. You’re to candy ass to pull the tough talk with Quebec, because you can’t shut their supply off with ease. So you look at tree hugging BC and see an easy target. Bring the pain little man, we’re waiting.

    Very sad. The good old boys network back in power in Alberta. Let’s call Kenneys bluff and have him close the taps. He is a Trump wannabe. Tough talking bully. Last night when his supporters shouted, Build the Pipe, build the pipe, I heard the echos of. Build the wall. My hunch is that when Andrew Sheer gets tossed as federal Conservative leader, Jason will go back to Ottawa proclaiming himself as the saviour for Canada. Sorry Alberta you could have done better than elected a careerist politician, driving a big blue pickup pretending he’s “Jes’ a simple down home rancher”.

    How fast people forget Redford and Prentice and the entitlement attitude that permeates the Conservative party. I wish them luck but don’t see how they will be any better than the NDP on environmental and pipeline issues!

    It’s disappointing. Albertans on mass bought into the disillusionment that we’re desperate and that a right-right-right-wing savior will bestow on us a magic time machine that will transport Alberta back to boom times.

    I’m fearful of the Conservatives’ inability - term in and term out - to demonstrate fiscal responsibility. They ruled when the oil and the money were easy. Peter Lougheed worked incredibly hard to preserve for us a future. Every Conservative government since has squandered our Heritage Trust Fund - even ceasing to invest in it.

    Norway’s Trust Fund which was modeled after ours - 20 years later - boasts a balance over $1 Trillion dollars. Ours is pittance in comparison. And guess what: Norway has a Social Democratic government looking out for and supporting its people, and not from the top down.

    Alberta has had one tool in its toolbox, and right now that tool is worn. The NDP were right to seek out multiple energy options because unlike the Boys Club - who looks out for the Boys Club today, the NDP have a mandate to look to the future and secure its well being for generations to come.

    Oil will run out, and when it does, Mr. Kenny and his boys will be long gone -having given no consideration to a future without oil.

    Shall we talk social programs and education? There’s not enough space here.

    I question as well our moral standing. Alberta elected the only party riddled with police investigations and controversy. This isn’t the United States - controversy shouldn’t win a politician his seat.

    So very pleased. He’s already put the professional protesters on notice, acknowledged that parents actually know what’s best for their children (rather than government) and did not virtue signal once. How refreshing!

    Great for Alberta, not so great for B.C. I’m a big C Conservative and have been since I voted for Maggie Thatcher in the UK in the 1980s. But I think we need to balance the needs of business with the needs of our environment. I also think we need to stop the notion of shipping raw product overseas (oil or lumber) and start processing it here for more jobs for Canadians.

    I am a little embarrassed of our government in B.C., The vast majority would side with our Alberta neighbors but a few hippies here thinking that the money will keep flowing without business and growth are out to lunch! Let’s start acting like a Unified country and show the world that we are a world leader not a joke that they are scared to invest in.

    Time to pull together and build some industry in Canada again. Horgan sold out to the greens for some seats Not everyone in BC is anti business

    Those who voted in this 'poll', are surely majority British Columbians.

    The fact that those that voted in the poll produced numbers that are so deeply skewed in the direction of seeing Kenney's election as a positive sign surely means something about where we think the Horgan/Weaver duo is taking us and what we feel about that.

    Where is OUR Kenney?

    Lol .... the guys a goof . 32 minutes of BS during his acceptance speech, the only thing he didn’t mention is how he’s going to deal with Kim Jong-un , he’s going to tell Putin off, beat up Horgan, trash can Trudeau, override the Supreme Court of Canada on pipeline decisions, drown David Suzuki in a bowl of soya sauce in a sushi bar , tell Quebec who’s boss , yup, a real winner, thinks he’s president of the World !

    Very good news!! It is a relief to see common sense prevail over the socialist/communist mindset so characteristic of the NDP. I hope it is a harbinger of more good news to come later this year. I cannot wait for Trudeau, an absolute insult to intelligence, to be sent where he belongs - scrap pile of virtue signalling, ethically and morally stunted hypocrites. I hope Jason Kenny will stay true to what he has promised and destroys the absurdity brought on by Notley and her crew of left wing ideologues. It is really high time for reason and competence to come back to Alberta government. Perhaps it will rub off on BC in spite of the almost hopeless situation in the dope infused Vancouver and Victoria.

    I feel great about Jason Kenny winning the Alberta election. I hope he follows through on turning off the taps and putting through the Trans Mountain pipeline. Mr. Horgan may want to get the two parties together and sort this out before it comes to that. The existing pipeline is over sixty years old and if it is shut off may by pipeline regulations have to be re-certified before it goes back into service. That could take months and cause B.C. a real hardship. I think the province of B.C. may want to rethink using the courts to manage the province and get down to some good old dialogue. Meanwhile Jason Kenny has us by the short curly ones and I hope he follows through and gets this country back on track. Go Jason Go.
