Canadian politics thread

Interesting, Danielle Smith's party in AB, United Conservatives (UCP) is having their annual convention. And many are not liking the Memorandum of Agreement between her and Carney on the pipeline, you would have thought that they'd be happy or satisfied but there is just a basic mistrust between AB and Ottawa.

So BC doesn't like it, part of the UCP fanbase doesn't like it ...

This guy suggested a pipleline from AB to Hudson Bay, then you open up the European market, go through Saskatchewan and Manitoba (who should be favourable to this)

The people that are angry about it that are UCP supporters have no reason to be mad other than “HNNNGGGG lIbRUL BAd” mentality. The extreme opinions by those that are so incredibly uneducated on politics due to social media rage bait brain rot content is something that we, as a society need to fucking figure out fast.
People need to get back to making their hobbies or their jobs their identities when they don’t really have one instead of politics.

^This 100%, it's not said enough, social media and its brain rot, combined with all this AI slop/fake news is the bane of our democracies.

We saw the warning signs in places like India and the Philippines (in fact Philippines was the testing ground for all this crap in the 2010s), and now here we are, the same problems.
