Politicians serve nation poorly

Re: “We’ll get the pipeline built,” April 16.

This is the battle that exemplifies the hypocrisy and incompetence of three painfully immature governments.

We have our post-nation fearless leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, flapping in the wind after destroying Canadian energy investment (NEB regulations, taxes, Energy East, Northern Gateway cancelled), now generously offering up taxpayer dollars to save face.

In Alberta, we have Premier Rachel Notley, our climate idealist, job killing, carbon taxing, investment destroyer, panicking that United Conservative Party Leader Jason Kenney will annihilate the NDP in 2019, also generously offering up our tax dollars to “save” Kinder Morgan.

And then there’s the star of the show, B.C. Premier John Horgan, the puppet of the minority environmental hysterics, throwing away buckets of money on legal fees to endlessly fight a foregone loss in court, the consequences be damned.

And who says politicians don’t make a difference? Karen Snyder, Calgary
