Alberta Energy

Turns out Alberta was the first domino to fall.  People got angry that the boom had not come back, and a Huckster help them figure out they were mad at Trudeau.  And boy were we angry! Of course, if you ask anyone Why they were angry, and bitterly angry at that, you got excuses.  They just wanted to be angry.  They didn't even seem to mind being hustled. "We needed to do these things, because our government was bloated and expensive and I pay too much taxes and and and".  We wanted these changes, but who has time to check. Economics is confusing. We gotta get outta debt, that's the biggest problem. I heard this over coffee with a friend, smart fellow.  Absolutely convinced that our debt was far too large, we were massively overextended.  At the time, our debt-to-GDP ratio was one of the best in the western world.  Our credit rating was fine and in no danger.  And we were slowly getting out of the hole that the oil collapse brought.   Nope.  Hard cuts were required.  And hard cuts we got.

The triumvirate now have the country locked up

We have started to realize that

- Trump pretty much does what he wants, and no law applies

- McConnel controls the senate, and lets no law be passed

- Barr is too busy to investigate, well, anything

If anything ever does get to court, well, that problems been solved as well
