All done for Alberta which still complains about literally fucking everything

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I live in Alberta and life is really good here. I wonder why so many people here are so quick to complain about anything.

We complain about going net zero, but many if not most companies are going net zero already, even though the provincial governments acts like it's impossible. The reason is because foreign investors aren't investing in pollution anymore. It's no longer profitable and it's a stain on any companies image/brand.

I work in the midstream and we'll be net zero in 2-3 years while our government is spending money like crazy trying to fight any change.

It's frustrating to say the least but ideally Canadians know Albertans aren't some homogenous group and some of us actually give a fuck.

Sure, it's like the old joke about lawyers: it's 90% who make the other 10% look bad.

It's really just because complaining feels good. It's cathartic. It's kind of addictive. Plus, when you really don't have anything to complain about, complaining anyway is a surefire way to distract from the fact that you're bathed in privilege while other people are going cold and hungry.

They're not trying to fight anything, except the Liberals. It just looks good to their base, and to Albertans generally, to be a giant pain in Ottawa's side whenever a right-wing troll isn't in the PMO.
