Excellent comment, Betty.
The PM should act as the PM of all of the country all of the time, not pander to self interest groups and crowds to get their approval.  But that's what Trudeau seeks. - approval to stroke his ego.   He must have especially needed it today after being so inept in responding to the woman who was so upset and desperate re her energy bills.
He doesn't really care though.  Nor does he care about what his inappropriate statement about phasing out the oil sands does to the morale of Albertans who are struggling. 
How does he think we will afford healthcare, and the payments on the huge debt hole he is digging?
