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.

Albertans are addicted to their grievances. It’s time to break the cycle

It's also what the #fossilfuel #companies don't want. They're a bit like #drug pushers, who want the #junkies to stay addicted to their products.
Could this energy crisis be worse for the global economy than COVID?

The Music from "The Connection" is an album by the Freddie Redd Quartet, recorded as the soundtrack for Jack Gelber's 1959 play The Connection on February 15, 1960 and released on Blue Note later that year. The quartet features saxophonist Jackie McLean and rhythm section Michael Mattos and Larry Ritchie.

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
