It's not "a lot of Albertans". It's conservative political messaging, pushing the idea that Alberta pays into equalization transfers. Alberta doesn't pay a dime into equalization.

There's no such thing as an Alberta oil economy. Most of the shareholders in the Alberta oil companies are foreign. https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/august-2023/foreign-oil-companies/

There's a lot of words missing in in the first statement. Shareholders in American auto manufacturers other than Tesla want to get rid of the electric vehicle mandate. Also note that elsewhere in the world internal combustion cars are losing ground to electric vehicles. Do we really want to attach ourselves to this sinking ship?

CMHC is not run by the Prime Minister or the cabinet. It is a Crown Corporation governed by a Board of Directors. Mr. Carney has not "redefined affordable housing". https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/about-us/management-and-governance/board-of-directors-and-its-committees

It was the climate scientists that agreed +1.5 degrees was the threshold we shouldn't cross, and yes, it's too late.
