Petroleum producers and refiners pocketed after-tax profit of $192 billion over the last four years alone. That is four times more than in the entire 2010s.

Under the Trudeau Government, oil production reached the highest level in Canadian history

For the fourth consecutive year, production of crude oil and equivalent products reached a record high, up 4.3% from 2023

In fact, Justin Trudeau opened a brand new pipeline:

The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion began operation in May 2024, providing Alberta crude oil with increased access to Pacific Ocean terminals and markets abroad.

Crude oil producers were optimistic about the new infrastructure: from May to December, total crude oil movements from Alberta to British Columbia more than tripled (+367.4%)

They are not capable of seeing anything positive that anyone named Trudeau has ever done.

"Yeah, but they forced him to"

I think that's literally what I've heard on that one. There's not much point arguing once they can just make up an alternate timeline on the spot to fit their conclusion.
