Happy to hear you understand the plight of Albertans. You seem to confirm you understand the facts...the coast is national waters. From the high water mark to the open ocean belongs to all Canadians. It does not belong to BC.

So yes. As an Albertan I want to protect the coast and keep it open for recreational opportunities.

And yes...poaching is bad and as such you must hate that also.

And no... Nobody in Alberta wants to shut off the flow of energy to B.C. We have done nothing to harm the folks in Vancouver that are pushing this agenda off breaching confederation and our right to sell our products to the offshore market. It is not Albertans that have fallen for the false hype of foreign paid economic sabotage.

However we will do what is needed to help our economy. The energy is needed to save lives, create jobs, provide cheap energy and create wealth for all of Canada.

It is what funds many social programs. It funds the bulk of transfer payments to the have not provinces.

Alas. Let’s hope for positive change.
