Conservative politicians in #Alberta, from #DanielleSmith and #JasonKenney on down to #PierrePoilievre and #PrestonManning, have used the rage of Albertans as the fissile material powering their own political ambitions. In the process, they have created a generation of #grievance #junkies, people who are absolutely addicted to the idea of their own #victimhood at the hands of a corrupt federal government.

@josephsimons thank you for the #GreaterFool link. But I think you misquoted Garth. I think he meant that #PrestonManning, not #PierrePoilievre, is responsible for the death of centrist conservatism in this country. (To be fair, though, that sentence was unclear.) #cdnpoli #canpoli
