    If Trump succeeds in taking control of Venezuela, Alberta’s oil idustry tanks. Maybe she’ll get punished for deepening dependence on oil.

        I have faith in them. I have to have faith in them. I think that when reality gets bad enough the propaganda would stop working for more and more of them. I think it depends whether and how bad things get. I’m not suggesting they’ll all turn on her but I hope enough would.

      Even without Venezuela Trump has been very clear about wanting to drop oil prices. Whether it be lobbying OPEC, global trade instability or whatever “drill baby drill” is suppose to be.

      For the latter part of your comment. I’ll point to Trump’s approval ratings, while as whole it’s dropped noticeably his MAGA base is still pretty positive on him after pretty shit year for Americans. Alberta has a base where they’ll point to Trudeau even though he’ll be years removed and they saw peak outputs/revenue during his time.
