Always wondered why UFOs would bother with Canada, what would they find interesting here?
They want the oil now that prices are low. They were just holding off in case the xenophobic Wild Rose won, but they think they can deal with Notley. Just cry speciesism if she won't. What Dipper can resist that?
Build a landing pad and the tanker ships will come. Just hope the Harperian overlords haven't removed all the space guard facilities around the asteroid belt. Dilbit spill in space - very hard to clean up. Maybe Notley can go counter to decades of Alberta practice and actually insist that only refined oil products can be exported to space. Of course the Sinosian over overlords may not go for that. A quick call to the supreme Stevo and the matter is settled. Either way, it will reduce our carbon output here on earth, and the aliens can quit with programming our scientists to make up lies about global warming. They're not doing it for money, but in the hope of finally getting those probes out of their asses.
If we really play nice, maybe the aliens will even stop programming our politicians and allow them to actually do what's right for the people. Just a dream, I know.
