Parade of the politically uninformed. I've seen one truck that said "hang Trudeau" and a lot that have called for Alberta Separatism.

Best part of this is a lot are showing yellow vests like in France, when they are on the complete opposite end of the political spectrum.

If these assholes are a majority, be prepared to add a 51st state soon, USA.

Just saw one that said "Canada belongs to Canadians, No more immigrants".

People are so stupid.

One guy just had a confederate flag and a horn that played the first notes of "Dixie" lmao

Waiting for the KKK truck any minute now
---

Lmao one person drove their Honda Accord through that just had a sign that said "For sale: $1500" plus their phone number.

Fucking boss

Yellowjackets are pesky wasps, just spray them with Off!

As somebody who didn't vote for Trudeau I've been pleasantly surprised with most of what he's done. For a lot of people it seems to be the opposite, but it feels like they're just buying into the right wing meme.

alberta is a shithole lmao

You can see where Trudeau has succeeded or failed here:

I'm not the biggest fan of Trudeau either, but nearly all of the outrage against him comes from fake news and sensational bullshit.

Trudeau is in full support of the pipeline. Construction has been halted due to red tape. I sympathize with the protesters on that alone, but pressing politicians isn't going to do much. The Conservatives would have had the same issue.

Our politicians don't dictate our oil prices. Alberta is too small to have that impact. All the blame for our current downturn should be pinned on the PC party that ruled for 40 years but allowed foreign oil companies to pillage our resources with minimal benefit to the province. There is zero reason for Alberta not to have a multi billion dollar savings fund from 40 years of prosperity.

Our only hope now isn't our dying oil industry, but diversifying our economy. But it's probably too late. If oil ever bounces back, we'd be insane not to invest the benefits in our future. Oil is not our future.

Trudeau sucks as a leader but calling for him to be hung is uncalled for, he deserves prison like Hillary, well a lot less time than Hillary like a couple of years, since Trudeau hasn't killed anyone.

alberta separatists are so fucking funny too

let em tbh. alberta is dead weight and probably will stay that way unless it accepts reality and starts working on retraining people and diversifying the economy but that's not gonna happen

There's nothing wrong with being dependent on oil so long as you have the means to do so. You can thank Trudeau Sr. for us not having enough refineries for that to happen. Instead we sell low to the US and buy back high. What a great plan! The economic collapse in 2014 through 2015 was due to the Saudis flooding the market with oil once the price of shale started to increase. When you live in a country where you can toss a stick and hit oil, you have the power to do so, I guess. Still would be nice to have those extra refineries. Now the cost would be billions instead of millions, however.

The only thing good I can say about Trudeau, since I feel I have to because he's so bad, is that he reversed a Conservative law that made it almost impossible to get your girlfriend, common-law or spouse PR. Now if you're married that person gets it immediately. Even Japan grants PR on marriage. I guess they have less people than Canada does abusing that law to get people citizenship followed by bringing the rest of their family over and finally divorce. The difference between a country other people respect and a country other people don't.
