You know, and we only have six.
Like, why is it that we consistently don't vote for the party that wins three out of four elections, but they don't seem to ever listen to our voice?
Well, the racking up and all that.
And then now we're in a circumstance where you have the official opposition leader, Pierre Poliev, who's a son of Alberta, who's now a member of parliament from Alberta, who's the official leader of the official opposition party.
who is absolutely fighting for Alberta's interests.
You have a prime minister who has stood down a lot of the antagonisms of Justin Trudeau on carbon taxes and pipelines.
He signed an MOU with Daniel Smith.
He's ready to work on things.
We've gone from a government that was led by Justin Trudeau and all those antagonisms propped up by Jagmeet Singh
to now a Mark Carney government that's being pushed to the right by Pierre Poliev and the NDP are nowhere to be seen.
So there's a pathway here for six to 12 months for Alberta to get real progress.
And they do this.
It's just, it's puzzling, I think, for a lot of Canadians who are outside of Alberta to think like, like you have a moment here, you know, Mark Carney could be your Nixon goes to China moment where you can actually push the ball down the field in a really significant way to get some real wins for the province of Alberta economically that you've been dying for for a long time.
And it's a liberal prime minister working with a conservative premier from Alberta in concert with other provinces in order to get things done for your province.
Then now we're going to have a three to six month distraction where you're going to tear family against family, neighbor against neighbor, street against street to talk about whether or not the country works.
You really want to do this now.
This is when you want to do this, when you were given an out by the courts to say that we're going to have a review process.
We're going to have an appeal to this ruling by the courts over this.
You could have had this window of opportunity between now and the end of the year, maybe now and next spring to move the ball forward in a significant way, maybe find a private sector proponent for something that matters for Alberta.
And now we're going to talk about this.
