BUT, the only Canadians that care about what's going on in the west are only those who live here. And that I don't see anyone making an angry difference about.

There are 100,000 oil and gas workers currently unemployed. It's not booming. It's dying.
He also gave $600M in federal funding to the media, just in time for this year's election.
He is very charismatic, and many like his pretty boy face, but he is immature, a joke and has almost single handedly destroyed this country.
He's allowing ISIS fighters back into the country. He's opened the borders for one and all economic refugee that slips over the border from the US and says there isn't enough money to help veterans or the elderly, yet he's got all these ECONOMIC refugees being houses in so many hotels, at taxpayer's expense, that the homeless have no where to go.
I could go on but those are the biggies. He refuses to listen to anyone, to his citizens and he thinks he can make up the rules according to his own wants.
He's also in cahoots with George Soros - that alone would be enough for me not to trust this man but his actions have shown his true colors.
Trudeau's domestic troubles have attracted attention in Chinese state media due to his previous assertion that his government cannot interfere in the case of a senior Huawei executive arrested in Canada and now fighting extradition to the United States.
Canada is likely to announce on Friday that an extradition hearing against Meng Wanzhou, the telecommunication giant's chief financial officer, can proceed, legal experts said, worsening already icy relations with Beijing.
Trudeau has disputed allegations by his former justice minister that government officials inappropriately pressured her to help the SNC-Lavalin construction firm avoid a corruption trial.
Asked by a state media journalist if it was contradictory for Trudeau to say he couldn't interfere in Meng's case while his government is accused of trying to intervene in the SNC-Lavalin case, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said he "really liked this question."

Canada imports $10 million a day in oil from Sauid Arabia.
That's $3.65 billion a year of taxpayer money sent to Saudi Arabia.
Hardly chump change especially considering there is zero need to import 1 gallon from those scumbags.

But Western Alienation isn't real *eyeroll*
I love every election watching the winner declared before our polls are even closed.

Sorry, it was a generalization.
And my points are really about us as a whole - all of Canada. If I were to explain more, the whole oil & gas situation in Alberta only hurts every Canadian, we are the ones feeling it first. And on the opposite site, it can only benefit every Canadian.
Now I will get the angry coastal people who don't want the pipeline/tankers, ha, ha.
Here, to you

In 2018 they did, from January to June. Than it dropped...again. Currently it is about half that.

Incorrect. That is Irving money.
Canadian taxpayers don't purchase any crude...at all, well, none outside of Alberta.
Albertan tax payers do purchase a very small amount, but, that goes to our refinery, and we get the profits from the sales, so we win.
Hardly chump change especially considering there is zero need to import 1 gallon from those scumbags.
If you actually worked in the industry, you would know damn well that the SA component of our industry is CHUMP CHANGE. it is also dropping fast.
The Saudi's do not currently want to do business with Canada, so Irving is replacing their contracts with others.

Eastern Canadian here.
While it's true our f*cking leaders are corrupt to the bones, please, try to differentiate the citizens from them as we are too victims of the Liberals, and that has also been going on for decades.
Reading members posts makes me aware of problems I didn't know about being endured by fellow westerners.
But remember, it has been said today, the 600M$ Trudeau gave to the press was proof enough for me, but Liberals control the press, or an important part of it, across the nation...
That means I know squat about the west and you know squat about the east, by design.
And you would be surprised by how many easterners Trudeau is openly being hated right now, and for sometime already. Sincerely, I have rarely seen people here anticipating an election as much as the coming one to be able to oust his ass out of Canadian politics forever, if possible.
If he gets reelected, it won't be the easterners fault;it would mean he stole the election. Friend of Soros, and paid Hillary to play.
I always found suspicious how fast he rose in politics, despite the fact he has the name of his bastard of a dad.
PS: I'm 49, and I've literally seen this country go from a wonderful place to live in to a near #hole place. There, I said it.
