By tacking an 11:30 p.m. Mountain time rally in Calgary onto a campaign day that began more than 16 hours earlier in Ontario and would end in a Vancouver hotel, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau ensured his voice would be even more comically hoarse on the final day, his travelling campaign team extra depleted for the final push.
If the election returns Trudeau as Prime Minister—in a majority or a minority—he’ll need to do much more to soothe the resentment and fear gripping the oil-producing province. He’ll need a full-on Alberta unity strategy. Will a legitimate Parti-Quebecois-style movement spring up, somehow figuring out an Alberta military or how becoming a landlocked nation would solves its pipeline woes? No. But the murmurs and shouts will be the pointy end of a wider sense of anger, victimhood and existential angst—western alienation at an extent not seen since the 1980s—that Justin Trudeau and the Liberals will have to figure out how to address.
It already DOES include a pipeline. Could it be you're as dense as Albertans (and Rex Murphy) who seem not to give credence to the fact that the LIBERAL gov't spent $4+ billion to rescue a pipeline from abandonment by a Texas-based company's Canadian subsidiary? The mind boggles.
you mean like last time when he dropped $750million on Alberta to stabilize their economy?
No he doesn't. He tried already and the conservative media just whipped Albertans into a rage frenzy. It's pointless. Why waste political capital on ingrates

And make no mistake, there are a lot of them. Love how you write your headlines. Propaganda 101 No actually most people with real jobs want that nutcase gone. She can take those 'special' marchers back to Sweden with her. Preferably walking. Pro-tip: Yielding to the demands of a catastrophizing 16 year-old who has no experience with unintended consequences is a bad idea. We ARE NOT beginning a mass extinction. Both mankind and nature can and will adapt to the modest increases in temps. Don't fall for the drama.

Our Western silence is stupid - Macleans.caShannon Gormley: By now we know the costs borne by Hong Kong protesters include hammer blows to the head, bullets to the shoulder and pepper spray to the face Not stupid, sinister. Paleoconservative politicians in the west preach violence. They welcome the option to use force on citizens. One has even called for a civil war. I agree with most of this piece. It's amazing how quiet the western world is... We take our freedoms for granted. As for KingJames he's a hypocrite. Unless it affects his wallet he's all in on the liberty thing.
