If you want an idea of how poorly Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is handling the crisis engulfing Alberta, take a look at Premier Rachel Notley. Her father was a left-winger before her, and leader of the Alberta NDP for 16 years. Left-wingers think the oil business is a blight on the planet. Their goal is to wean the country off oil, whether there’s an alternative in place or not. But so effectively have pipelines been demonized, and so cravenly have “progressives” rented their principles to anti-oil activists that the best and safest way to allay the oil crisis is too frightening to Liberals to bear scrutiny.
