While at coffee today, one of the guys at the table jokingly said to me, “Hey Wes, I guess Nancy Pelosi told President Trump ‘if you were my husband, I would have put poison in your tea,” to which I replied, “If you were my wife, I would have drunk it.”.Here in Alberta, we have our own Nancy Pelosi in Justin Trudeau. .Canada has a prime minister that places most of his efforts towards obtaining a U.N. Security Council seat. To obtain is vanity chair at the table, he is kowtowing to the U.N..Canada would have gained $150 billion in the economic impact of the Teck Frontier oilsands mine, now dead with his fingerprints on the murder weapon. The Teck oilsands – which was expected to produce 260,000 barrels of oil per day – now lies dead on the altar of apocalyptic global warming. Northern Gateway – rejected and squashed by the Liberal government – was expected to ship 525,000 barrels per day. Energy East, 1.1 million barrels per day, and the list goes on that have been cut short by this myopic, feckless government..This does not include the loss of income to our Canadian economy that has been lost while the railway shutdowns have occurred. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been lost as Western grain sits unshipped. Propane that was destined for Eastern Canada is not moving, and is causing dangerous supply shortages during these cold winter months..Nero, Rome’s last emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, was said to have played the fiddle while Rome burnt. History might remember Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as taking selfies as Canada burnt. Trudeau seems more intent on vacationing in Costa Rica or giving away reams of taxpayers’ money to other nations, than ensuring Canada’s prosperity by creating the economic environment needed here. .Nero’s rule came to an inglorious end, but the long decline of Rome had begun. Even ending the rule of Trudeau in the next election might be too late to reverse the damage being done now..Wes Taylor was a Wildrose and UCP MLA for Battle River-Wainright
