Well, the racking up and all that.

Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel?

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.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

who is absolutely fighting for Alberta's interests.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel?

You have a prime minister who has stood down a lot of the antagonisms of Justin Trudeau on carbon taxes and pipelines.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel?

We've gone from a government that was led by Justin Trudeau and all those antagonisms propped up by Jagmeet Singh

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel?

to now a Mark Carney government that's being pushed to the right by Pierre Poliev and the NDP are nowhere to be seen.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel?

So there's a pathway here for six to 12 months for Alberta to get real progress.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel?

And they do this.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel?

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.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

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.

Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel?

We're going to have an appeal to this ruling by the courts over this.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel?

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.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel?

And now we're going to talk about this.
