Now, tracking Alberta as I track the US, with a great deal of suspicion and misgivings, the "It's the government not the people" argument fails when you realize these people elect the same governance again and again...
The separatist movement, funded largely by American Psy Ops, hang them, hang them all. Same with the White Supremacists, the Bible Belters, it's time now for a proper purge. But as it's basically the US at this point, paid for and funded by the US, and as Danielle Smith is as more a US operative than an Albertan Politician I pay it the same amount of attention.
Danielle Smith, the entire UCP party, they'd all look a lot better hanging from gibbets or displayed upon pikes in front of the Legislature.
They are the perfect example of what happens when you remove consequences from actions.
Think of a small child. It "steals" a cookie and goes uncorrected. "That's fine" you tell yourself, and the child learns that cookie theft is OK. Child kicks the dog. "That's Fine" you say. It punches a classmate in the face at school and causes a bloody nose. "That's fine" you say "Kid probably deserved it.". This continues, action, antisocial and without consequence. Hey, wait a minute, your child is the victim here...
It continues, your child becomes an adult, steals, rapes, cheats, becomes President or Premier, cheats, steals, rapes and murders more and "that's fine" you say, because you've said it so fucking often and this is how we end up where we are today and I really, really want to take your child, you're Premier, your President, your administration, out into the woods and administer some long overdue corrections....
Anyways, all this an overlong preamble to a fine video by "The Goose" on Alberta's $320 Billion Dollar Oil Debt, which should exemplify to you how "Wealth", in the sense of Oil Companies, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc, is nothing more than a form of corporate welfare where consumers are expected to subsidize a fattening billionaire class for no more reason than their disregard for the same rules all the rest of us are held accountable to.

I like how the farmer points out that we have laws and rules for all of this fucking-around, only - for some people, and especially under the "current administration" - they're not enforced.
