The war in Iran hopefully ends with lasting peace & freedom for the long oppressed citizens of Iran. Sooner rather than later. Although, like most Albertans, I welcome the boost to our revenues, I don't want to benefit upon the suffering of others. IF oil prices stay...... 1of2

@AlbertaLeonidas @MEEMAWmomma @ABDanielleSmith ^^^cents not % It works out to $13/week for any active Albertan like me as I go thru about 100 litres/wk. That's $676/yr. When running a reclaimer, dozer, 2 packers & 2 water trucks on 12 hrs/day, 1000 litres/day = $130day over 26+ wks 6days/wk = >$20K/season. It adds up!

@AlbertaLeonidas @MEEMAWmomma @ABDanielleSmith I was disappointed to hear her last Saturday suggesting that 13% per liter wasn't big enough to really help any of us. If she was struggling like many hard working Albertans, she might appreciate that every penny counts in times like these. REINSTATE THE GAS TAX BREAK NOW!

@brianlilley Bro... It's 0.0000104167 % of our GDP. It's the equivalent of a person who makes $70,000/year buying a homeless person a happy meal. You will survive this I promise! 🤡

@brianlilley @Mr_Ravary It's really the kind of crap that makes us wonder why we have a @liberal_party Gov't actually. In Alberta, it makes many want to leave Confederation. Our money plus borrowed money wasted day after day, week by week, hell, decades of insanity simply has to stop! NOW.

@andrew_leach Hmmm, run up multi Trillion dollar debt, build a $500B SWF which in reality is simply a "Buy The Stupid Votes" slush fund. Sounds exactly like something you & your NDP Marxist pals would promote. Tax the successful & lucky in order to buy votes from the dumbasses.

Why would we borrow *more* to build a savings fund? Unless we're going to get our fiscal house in order and fund gov't spending differently, I don't understand the rationale here. Further, federal resource revenues are small. The vast majority of the revenues accrue to AB.
Lucy Hargreaves@lucyhargreaves4

a sovereign wealth fund is a no-brainer for Canada we can grow this to $500B over 10 years and distribute a “Canada Dividend” to all citizens starting in year 6

Events like this in other jurisdictions demonstrate why here in Alberta we're MUST make our stands NOW! Tragic consequences that push innocent victims into state run & sanctioned suicide once their lives have been irreversible destroyed. We reject the SICK INSANITY of the left.
Inevitable West@Inevitablewest

This story is horrific. This girl with mental issues was taken from her parents and thrown in a state-run facility with MENA migrant minors. They then gang-raped her. It traumatised her and led to a suicide attempt which left her paraplegic. Today, Spain will euthanise her.

Pretty damn sure that the @AirCanada CEO had far more pressing matters at hand than repeating himself in French. The GHOULS in this Parliamentary Committee better back the fuck off or more Canadians will be telling them to "mange de la merde!"

Statement from Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau on the accident at LaGuardia. The French language translation is given underneath but a parliamentary committee is demanding to know why he delivered the statement verbally only in English. 🧵

@JasminLaine_ @xpmike Wow! LUCKY enough to not being born in a Marxist/Socialist regime that can't even build success from massive Hydro generation capacity. He may just drive even more "lucky" citizens over to Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew announced his new budget/election strategy… which includes: taxing the “successful and lucky” so they contribute to those who need “a bit more help”. Helping the future generation build the habit of using public transportation because it’s better for the environment. Fun fact: I stopped using public transportation in Winnipeg about 7 years ago because it was so uncomfortable and the busses smelt like urine. In fact, just a few years ago, we had a radio promotion where we’d go on public transit to give people gift cards… after two attempts, upper management pulled us from it due to several safety concerns targeting our young female part timers.

@saraseventy9 @rawsalerts Listen to the available audio. He took responsibility with his clear admission that he messed up. He will be suffering immense mental pain & grief. Every flight crew knows the weight of ATC responsibility, they all share it every day.

@AlbertansFirst @rawsalerts There's no room for "messed up" as a controller. These are life and death. "Messed up" is for ohhh I messed up on my Math test. Ohhhh I messed up my finger trying to lift that box.

@HoCStaffer @Karrie14178652 Include him in your prayers. It's a fast paced stressful job most of us would never want. One single mistake can cause such tragic consequences. May God bring comfort to all impacted, including all their families & friends. Pray for the souls lost & for recovery of the injured,

@AlbertansFirst @flightradar24 Fault of the federal government not hiring enough people and the constant shut downs leading to controllers not being paid He made an honest human mistake because he was completely overworked and already dealing with another emergency that’s why the fire truck was even out

@MurrayManera He will likely never fully recover from this as he will be overcome with grief. 99.999999999999% of us would NEVER take on that responsibility, it's literally too intense. Tens of thousands of lives in their hands every shift.

I am going to include the Air Traffic Controller in my prayers. There's audio already out where he admits that he messed up. It's a tragedy that highlights the incredible workload, pressure & stress these controllers face every day. Because any mistake can be horribly tragic.

@leftcoastbabe BS! It's a testament to the men & women who take on the stressful ATC Controller jobs that so few of these accidents happen. This isn't the time for political gamesmanship. Just pray for all involved & their families who will all be traumatized by this tragedy.

Too soon to know what happened at LaGuardia Airport tonight between an Air Canada plane and a fire truck to cause this.. But maybe if we had a DOT secretary focused on his job instead of praising his boss...

@TheRealKeean Not cool dude! The pilot & copilot were likely the two fatalities. Thru no fault of their own. There is ZERO humor in this, you should simply apologize for your extremely bad taste.
