Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday that the best place for Alberta is undoubtedly in Canada, and his government is working to patch up relations with the province after years of bad blood over stalled energy development.

The comments came at a press conference where Carney announced new policies to turbocharge the development of Canada's electricity grid, including deploying more natural gas-powered turbines to generate the fuel the country needs.

The reworked policy breaks from the last Liberal government's climate agenda, which prioritized decarbonizing the grid to drive down emissions despite fierce opposition from the Western provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan where fossil fuels are abundant.

He is also expected to announce with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on Friday that the two governments have settled on an industrial carbon price regime for the province, which could pave the way for a new oil pipeline to the Pacific.

If oilberta pulls out of canuhduh canuhduh is screwed.

So for Oilberta Canada IS not the best place for them. They are better off on their own or with us. I am sure Trump could make a oil for protection deal.

I mean we’ve been protecting them all these years anyways.

I don’t think they can take Alberta out of Canada, can they? It’s kind of too big.

Albertans think differently, apparently.

The fact that he has to say that is wild.

He only says that because without Alberta the rest of Canada is toast. Those equalization payments have to originate somewhere.

Without Alberta, rest of Canada would be a 3rd world country.

“Mark Carney said Thursday that the best place for Alberta is undoubtedly in Canada,”

Therefore, you know it isn’t true.

A much better future awaits them with America.
