    1. @extragirth64 not even Vancouver. Vancouver metro has a conservative riding ( pc gained from liberal in this election)😂

    2. ​@Craig Ostapowich And there is the personal attack. Conservatives are so predictable. Also, who says I am a liberal?

    3. Martin Zarathustra Liberal or NDP. It’s easy to tell when you use such a basic rhetoric as “Conservatives Whine”. Besides, it was you who first started the attack when you used the word “you”.

    4. @Martin Zarathustra : When you imply Conservatives are whiners….that is a personal attack. If you are not Liberal then that does not leave very many options, and none are any better

  1. The election was not a referendum on Climate. She is full of it. She is Part of the chattering class.

    1. @Guy Souriandt what sciences? In the science world there is no conclusion what caused climate change yet! Are you jumping ahead and selectively use the evidence that works with your conclusion? It’s called bias not science

    2. @Liang Chen Sure there is. Burning fossil fuels causes climate change. There’s lots of oil companies trying to muddy the waters by denying it by hiring trolls on the internet. They have lots of money to spend on that.

    3. @Guy Souriandt the conservatives are Canada’s version of the Republicans. Take from the poor, give to the rich, deny any science that restricts business. They have always been that way.

    4. @Guy Souriandt you may want to check the election results against a map of your province the interior of BC voted quite conservative… or do they not count?

    1. Grutte Pier: She definitely is. I live in BC. She does not speak for me. The BC NDP government is partially to blame for the problem Alberta is facing….. trying to block the pipelines at every chance.

    1. lmao! Right? Hit Canadians at the pumps with that global commodity, when the yanks price goes up LOOK OUT FOR THE DRONES Alberta.

  2. Northern BC will separate and form a Super state with Alberta and Saskatchewan
    The Province has abandoned the North. We sit on billions of dollars of natural gas and the province can not even supply a Physiotherapist to Fort Nelson.

    1. @three monkeys Well I know Ottawa takes BILLIONS from Alberta and hands it to Quebec. Transfer payments in Canada amount to $20 BILLION—Quebec gets $13 BILLION of that. Fair? Sure if you live in Quebec!

  3. No a cudgel would be Alberta collecting all Alberta taxes and refusing to give them to the federal government.

    1. @Matt Lang you don’t actually believe that to you? Look at the numbers, the world’s dependence on oil is growing. There are many more evolving markets in the world then Europe. There will be a need for oil until it’s all burnt up. We also have a large Lumber industry, farming, minerals and with the cash we will save by leaving, we will develop our manufacturing industry. Will become an economic powerhouse on the world stage in a generation. All this research has already been done, look it up and read some of it.

    2. @Matt Lang If it was cool 50 years ago how do you travel today? It’s become so chic to hate on alberta and the energy industry but I ask you why is oil consumption growing?

    3. @chris pilgrim Emerging countries, and I have an electric car, do not take planes etc. Its not even hating, its being realistic.

    1. No mention of the Canadian Wheat Board, 1980 National Energy Program, CONstitution Act 1982, justin said he will phase out Alberta oil. Hey BC, do you part for climate change and make illegal the use of carbon fuel, including for the freighters. Dot just talk about it. Tell the shipping companies to stay away from BC until they use solar power or sails.

    1. @cdpgbc 1966 No shes smart enough to say they dont want to seperate thats called true Canadian not wexkids

    1. Are u daft? Unconstitutional, I was in the BC Supreme Court when they made the ruling against BC for trying to do the same thing.

  4. I loved to cut her off from the rest of Canada. I’ll separate just to screw over BC. Scorched Earth policy
