I feel so sorry for them, I almost feel like going out and helping the strikers protest.

Sweet. Let's delay ending the strike for 6 days and see how much Alberta means to them.

They are heating hospitals and nursing homes with propane in Quebec? That seems.....odd.

Now shut off the natural gas too.

Watch JT find a solution to the CN rail issue real fast.

Couple of breakdowns at some compressor stations and pump staions would seem appropriate about now.

All of the above. Now if only mother nature would help with an Arctic Vortex over Quebec, high snow fall and a freezing rain storm.

Let’s sell them some, at an ridiculously elevated fee of coarse. Get some of that equalization money back!

They can warm their homes with virtue signalling and warm thoughts about how "green" they are.

Bring Greta back, more than enough Hot Air in her to heat the whole province.


I guess they should have foreseen this and developed alternatives. (Not nice to have your own words played back to you)

P.S. Just saw Nitro's comment along the same lines of diversifying.

I have to agree. Let the bloc heads freeze. I might even start praying again to keep the CN strike going for a couple weeks.

The irony is bitter sweet, unfortunately something tells me they will still label the cause as a western problem. Seems likely your always damned if you do damned if you don’t. I learned long ago you can’t argue with those types and they always are right despite how many facts and much evidence you supply.

Tabernac uh. I feel real sorry for Quebec......said no one...ever.

Bring some up the St Lawrence from Saudi or borrow some socks from Justin.

Even better? Separate! Bon Voyage.

Leave your strippers tho.
