What is her end game? Because nothing will ever change as long as the Liberals are in power and she is getting dang close to an end game.
There is not going to be another oil pipeline to tide water in Canada. I live in a city state where financing of major energy projects gets approval and no major players are going to invest in Canada as long as the Liberals are in power and keep the anti-energy laws in place. The investment and jobs will go to the US and other locations. It's that simple.

QuoteTrump Officials Discussed $500M Alberta Independence Loan, Separatist Claims
Private details from a Washington D.C., meeting about Alberta becoming the 51st state were revealed at a separatism event attended by DeSmog.
Officials in the Donald Trump administration discussed loaning the oil-rich province of Alberta hundreds of millions of dollars to help it become independent from Canada, a prominent separatist is claiming.
"I met the senior U.S. administrative officials just a couple steps away from the president himself," recalled Dennis Modry, the former CEO of the Alberta Prosperity Project, a group devoted to pushing Alberta toward self-determination through a provincial referendum.
"When we walked into the conference room, the first comment was 'we recognize and support Alberta becoming the sovereign nation for the first time,'" he said.
Modry was a member of The Commonwealth of Alberta Delegation to Washington that in April traveled to the U.S. Capitol to outline the supposed benefits a sovereign Alberta and its vast energy resources can provide to the United States.
No media outlet has yet reported on what was actually discussed in meetings with Trump officials. But Modry revealed some specifics during a recent Alberta event promoting a Western independence agenda that was attended by DeSmog.
"We talked about a $500 million transition loan that we would only draw down on as necessary as we work with the U.S. to transition from a province to a country," said Modry. He also claimed that they discussed a plan to prop up Alberta's currency where "the U.S. agrees to take every Alberta citizen's Canadian dollar and then exchange it for one U.S. dollar."
The prospect of America recognizing Alberta as the 51st state isn't currently on the table, but it could be if separatists manage to get enough signatures to trigger a referendum declaring Alberta's sovereignty from Canada and then win enough votes to pass the referendum, he added.
"Alberta, of course, can provide energy security," he said. "It can also provide water security, agricultural security, forestry security, metal security, coal security, plus an industrious workforce. So there is tremendous benefit to the U.S., to work with us."
DeSmog reached out to the Alberta Prosperity Project and the Trump administration seeking more clarity about Modry's claims but didn't receive a response.
