Part 6/11:
Some speakers hint at or explicitly support the idea that Alberta (and potentially Saskatchewan) should consider separation. They criticize the federal government’s hostility toward the oil industry, emphasizing the importance of oil and gas to their cultural identity and economic stability.
They critique Prime Minister Trudeau’s alleged climate zealotry, increased carbon taxes, and policies aimed at “decarbonizing” the economy—policies they see as existential threats to the oil industry, and by extension, to their communities and way of life.
