Re: How does Carney get out of the box he made?Imagine Prime Minister Mark Carney standing at centre ice and boldly proclaiming the Edmonton Oilers will win the Stanley Cup — for all of Canada. The crowd cheers. Hope fills the air.Now imagine Carney turns around and hides the Oilers’ hockey sticks and ice skates so they can’t actually win the game.Sounds absurd? That’s because it is. But that’s exactly what Carney is doing when he tells Canadians he wants the country to become an “energy superpower,” even as he keeps legislation in place that makes it nearly impossible..HANNAFORD: How does Carney get out of the box he made?.Carney claims to support energy development — yet he refuses to repeal Bill C-69 (dubbed the “No More Pipelines” Bill) and Bill C-48 (“The Tanker Ban”.) These two Liberal-era bills, combined with the cancellation of both the Northern Gateway and Energy East pipelines, have crushed private investment and shut down viable projects..It’s the same crazy story, just in a different arena.Now imagine the Liberals had been hiding the Oilers’ skates and sticks for ten years. How frustrated would Connor McDavid be?McDavid wants to win a Stanley Cup. But after a decade of being deliberately hamstrung, he might finally realize he can’t win with the Oilers. So he signs with the New York Rangers — where he can actually play to win..That’s exactly how Alberta feels.After years of seeing its natural resource projects blocked, its constitutional rights ignored, and its economic future sacrificed to Laurentian ideology, Alberta’s patience is running out.Albertans are done being told we’re on Team Canada — only to be benched, sidelined, or sent out without gear. Carney’s double-talk about making Canada an energy powerhouse while doing nothing to reverse the anti-energy policies of the Trudeau years is just more of the same.With “Oilers fans” like Mark Carney, who needs enemies?This is why Alberta will vote for independence in 2026.Chris RobertsonStony Plain, Alberta
