Lost hope for family’s future

Re: Canadians will pay for pipeline paralysis, Opinion, Nov. 21

We all understand why Alberta’s oilpatch has been hit with a “category 5 hurricane.” No promised pipelines. No way now, or in the near or distant future to get our oil to markets overseas. With federal and provincial indifference and ineptness, I see no reason for any optimism.

That category 5 hurricane is now bearing down on my family. We have three university-educated, smart and hardworking children. We are having a family meeting this week to encourage our children to move out of Alberta. As parents we had hoped our children could stay in Calgary and thrive here, but that no longer seems possible. I lay the blame squarely at the feet of Justin Trudeau and Rachel Notley. They need to move on as well.
