I sense hate from above.
No it is not a troll post and many here do not keep up with canadas politics beyond what makes the rounds. Everyone called him ken when he was elected he was supposed to be some kind of hero. He did ok the legalization of weed i would assume he had to sign of on it.
So what did ken barbie do to piss everyone off?

Alberta and Saskatchewan are land locked, and we can’t even ship our oil out. Canada is losing millions on what would have been good tax revenue.

This is playing a major role in the growth of the separatist movement.
Canada is obligated to provide coastal access to a landlocked nation. Canada is not obligated to provide coastal access to a landlocked internal sub division.

What is your point?
It's economic stupidity to not take advantage of the massive oil wealth we have.
Importing Saudi oil and putting money into the hands of those bastards is not a solution.
Of course no one is obliged to provide the oil pipeline. But not providing it makes no sense whatsoever to any free thinking individual.
The case was exposed in detail during the preliminary investigation by Stéphane Roy, former vice-president controller of SNC-Lavalin who was accused of corruption. Since Mr. Roy’s judicial process had paused on February 19, we can tell it here for the first time.

Bahahaha!
MY naivety? That's rich, coming from one so naive. Did you even read there article? If so, you clearly do not grasp the implications of what was said.
While he most likely will not face charges, the pressure from the opposition and the public to step down will now be immense. Watch and see, son.
One thing I'd bet good money on, if he DOES somehow survive this, he will never, ever get reelected. The liberals will need to run a new candidate for the next election as Trudeaus lack of ethics will forever be questioned now. The liberals know, or will find out very soon they will never win another election with Trudeau at the helm.
I'll be kind and not say, 'I told you so'.
Ps. Morneau is done for too.

Actually, Canadians are pretty good at ousting leadership. Chretien and Martin both were booted because of scandals and once people were fed up with Harper we dumped him too.
The fact that this is being brought up so close to the federal election means that Trudeau is going to be fighting an uphill battle.

And if this happens then Canadians will revolt. I don't think those who can't stand him can tolerate much more. People will revolt. Rightfully so. He is the very definition of a narcissist and is killing Alberta - the province that carries Quebec and Ontario.

If you are wondering why I was so flippant in my post to you, it's because you started off by declaring my whole OP naive. Not the best way to start a discussion.
I'm 46, and have therefore seen as much as yourself, if not more. While I will concede the possibility he might somehow ride this whole thing out, I am sure he will not be re-elected, ever. Not even a 5% chance. In one scandal he has become a liability to the Liberals.
You're damn right if he is reelected I'll admit I was wrong.
But I won't have to.

He pressured our attorney general to drop criminal charges against a construction firm that had illegally gained contracts in Libya by greasing the palms of Ghadaffis men before his ouster.
Also of note, his ruling party the Liberals rammed though a law that allows the attorney general to let corporations who break the law to be let off with reparations rather than criminal charges. Hence the pressure. Sickening doesn't begin to describe it.
The law needs to be revoked and Trudeau needs to go. Get rid of Morneau too. And Telford for finally admitting what we all already knew: Liberals have the media as their thralls and can get them to write what they want, when they want it.

What is your point?
That the current separatist movement, that is growing in Alberta, is heavily founded in this issue.
It's economic stupidity to not take advantage of the massive oil wealth we have.
I would sincerely hope that every Albertan that lived through Klein understands that everything has a cost. Not that I completely disagree, but we should account for all costs, not just the fiscal ledgers.
Importing Saudi oil and putting money into the hands of those bastards is not a solution.
Canada currently imports very little Saudi oil...so, what was your point?
Of course no one is obliged to provide the oil pipeline. But not providing it makes no sense whatsoever to any free thinking individual.
That would be a problem you would have to take up with BC and Quebec. I get zero say in their actions.
