Hey BS .....its Klein ! Man of the people, when he was ragged on so bad for his dealing with unions ...I knew the die was cast .....the inevitable trip down the red crap highway. No matter what atrocities have supposedly Been committed in the 40 odd years of conservatism , they will be a shining Example of stalwart government compared to legacy the Red Hag is dictating to the downtrodden voters of Alberta. Unlike other outdoor forums we are possibly more tolerant of nonsensical Political views but we have our limits . Whether you know it or not , most Of the members on here have all paid a price for their stand against the Red scourge. I'm going to try to word this a politically correct as possible ... Strong Post to Follow !
So did Rachel , carbon tax rebates, and klien paid of the deht on the backs of workers and health care cuts , and loss of social program , of course a party can pay off deht if it don't provide infastucture money to its people for needs like rds , education and health care , a lot of our tax dollars went to china investments , instead of back to the people , where it belongs .We were told by Klien theres no money , yet large sums went to china for the Torys own investments , of which they pocketed the interest for themselves , when it should have came back to us for rds educationand healthcare
I wonder what the Debt/GDP would be if Alberta did not have to feed the rest of canada through transfer payments.That would be the Alberta Debt/GDP. Sorry for not explaining myself.Anyways, back to cleaning the shotguns.
That's what communism is, you take the hard earned dollars of the hard working, and distribute it to whomever you feel is deserving. This government is killing investment in our province, and is killing the incentive to work hard, as the extra money will just be taken by the government in the form of carbon taxes, and don't think for a minute the NDP will not raise personal taxes again, on guess who, those that work hard to get ahead. How was shutting down the coal industry helping the ordinary Joe? Did not any of them work in the coal industry? What do you think will happen to the oil and gas industry when the NDP increase taxes and limit output in the oilsands? We've already had major players pull out of Alberta because of the loser NDP.The NDP's goal is to make all of us dependent on the government, poor (as sooner or later, those that earn will say to hell with it, I'm leaving) and socialist in our thinking. They live in a fairy tale and do not understand reality. They think they can just raise taxes and things will be hunky-dory. They are the stupidest bunch of MLAs this province has ever seen, and do not care who they harm to further their idealistic, unrealistic agenda.
Few months ago two Major players withdrew plans for major projects in Ab and announced mega heavy oil projects in khazakstan, stating the reason as, "Canada and especially Alberta are no longer safe places to do business"This was in all the papers, no one could have missed it, well, unless they get their, "news" from places like cbc. (feel free to look it up)There has been a MAJOR exodus of businesses and investment from Ab since the last election. Likely same for Canada since the federal election. This investment will not be returning. I've been spending a fair amount of time out of the province. My Ab plates are NOT lonely. Far as, "alternative energy" well, it's nice to have a dream. In the real world there is currently no viable energy alternative. Think of them as gov't subsidy mines.Just look to every country in the worlds oil usage forecast. Not a single one I've seen is lower next yr than this. Then do some actual research on countries that dove into the deep end. Most are backtracking as all they've done is bankrupt themselves while producing a fraction of a fraction of the energy, "promised".
Norway? Wow, do some actual research, Norway is a complete mess.
Never ceases to amaze me how people can have blinders on and be seemingly unaware of it. Must try hard not to do any actual research I guess. Either that or rabid personal greed and a complete disregard for the future generations.
avb3 have you read any of the articles I posted or are you just going off of old news,
I told you before quit reading the fake news.
On another note, here at home the socialist dream is crumbling as well. http://business.financialpost.com/opinion/matthew-lau-albertas-job-mirage
While I have no direct proof of this, I have spoken to people that have travelled to Scandanavian Countries and they said the average person there can't even afford a car. There are a lot of people that have a lower standard of living than what an average person here has.I know a young man from Holland, just came over for a visit. He said the exact same thing, over there, he couldn't afford his own car, he said people there are on average poorer than in Canada.That's how socialism works, everyone's standard of living (except for those that run things and their buddies) is lower as the tax rates are so high it is very hard to get ahead.No thanks, you can have it AVB3
