How possibly could he do anything WORSE?
$240 BILLION Spent. Did jobs get created? Nope.
Did taxes get lowered? Nope.
Does it help small business grow? Nope.
Does it attract investors? Nope.
Does it make food cheaper? Nope.
Does it improve healthcare? Nope.
So what exactly is the return on our $195 Billion?
Higher Taxes,
Major Layoffs,
Less Doctors;
More Division Of Canadians,
More Regulations;
More Bureaucracy,
Less Homes Built,
Higher Food Prices;
A Lowered Canadian Dollar,
A Poorer Stance On Climate Change;
Higher Costs To Future Generations,
Outrageous Immigration;
and Higher Tariffs!
I'd really love it if you could answer my question, but I won't hold my breath.

@hollyanndoan @GordieHoweBrg @MarkJCarney @realDonaldTrump One step closer to simply signing Canada over to the USA.
Great job Liberals.

Fun fact: 🇨🇦 hockey legend Gordie Howe was famous for his scoring ability and his rallying cry “elbows up!”

@WesternStandard Can you feel all the love our fellow Canadians have for us yet?
Nothing brings a community together more than attacking the weak, the most vulnerable, and the ones most in need of basic human decency.
Oh Canada, where have your values gone?

Carney urged to dock Alberta health transfers before independence vote

English

The Pathways deal amounts to governments reaching into taxpayers’ pockets to fund a project that will not increase the value of Alberta’s oil.
There is no market premium. No affordability benefit. No return for struggling families.
There will be more subsidies, more public debt and more inflationary spending—all to satisfy Ottawa’s obsession with Net Zero.
Alberta has outgrown Canada. Alberta can do better without Ottawa controlling our lives and our economy. LetAlbertaDecide.com

English

@Capital_Rob You realize that over 3.7 Million Canadians have dual citizenship, right?
That includes your idol, Carney.
You did do some basic fact checking, didn't you?
Or does this only apply to Albertans?
And how will you know who voted what?
I see, the concept of democracy and voting must upset you.
What exactly are your values then?
English

@Marielaina3 An independent Alberta will be treated worse that US is now. We will push to revoke dual citizenship privileges for anyone who secedes from Canada.
You think you hate us now, just wait.
English

Its funny how BC blocking our oil is ok, but should Alberta do the same with BCs industries it's unthinkable! Tell me again how Albertans are not second class citizens in our own county... the county we fund!
Keith Wilson@ikwilson
Critics say an independent Alberta would be “landlocked.” That misses the reality. B.C. depends on Alberta energy to help fuel the Lower Mainland, and on Alberta highways and rail lines to move goods east. Alberta is not without leverage. We are without control because of Ottawa. Independence changes that. Alberta can do better.

@didrikwillow @ClayDeMaine Give me 1 instance of proof of that please.
English

@Zerquetch @ClayDeMaine But Patrick, you're already a homophobe. So what makes you any different from the Palestinians you're denigrating?
English

@saltyalbertanfu @unacceptfringe And these are all people we don't want in our neighborhood.
English

@Zerquetch @unacceptfringe That whole list is a great start for public inquiries on corruption and fraud once Alberta becomes a republic

Still waiting for a reply. You've had almost 2 weeks. Seemed pretty serious concerning this topic.
No plan?
Geez, if I had $5 for every blowhard opinion with no plan to make it better...
Let's help you out on the logic train:
Option A
1- There is something I don't like
2- I try to understand this thing I don't like
3- I find a reason that I don't like it
4- I find a solution to make it something I like
5- I look at finding a simple path to transition it
6- I state what it is I don't like, why, and how to go about fixing it so that the majority of people will like it.
Option B
Shut the Fu*k up.
English

@JeromyYYC So how would YOU pay for the extra 50,000 children added to Alberta by immigration?
They added 63 schools and paid teachers much better.
C'mon, don't be shy, what's your plan?
Or do you just find it easier to throw rocks?

Property tax bills are due today. Imagine if Ottawa forced Alberta to collect a big federal tax hike on provincial letterhead. That's how municipalities are treated with the Province's 57% property tax increase over four years. It's time to keep property taxes local, with clear accountability and transparency.
Imagine if Justin Trudeau ordered Danielle Smith to collect a massive federal tax increase through Alberta's tax bill. She'd be furious.
That’s exactly what’s happening today to Alberta’s cities, with today’s deadline to pay your property tax bill. Not many of you may know, but now upwards of half of your property taxes go to the provincial government, and not the town, city, or municipality you live in.
The biggest increase on your property tax bill didn't come from City Hall. It came from the Provincial government.
The Province imposed a 21 percent increase on your property tax bill, the largest property tax increase in Calgary's history. Over the past four years, it has increased the education property tax by 57 percent.
By comparison, our Council held the municipal property tax increase to just 1.8 percent. That funds police, firefighters, roads, transit, parks, snow clearing, recreation centres, and the infrastructure that keeps Calgary moving.
Because of the Province's education property tax equalization formula, Calgary homeowners are paying about twice the increase faced by Edmonton homeowners.
Don't take my word for it. Here's how the Premier herself describes where a large share of your property tax goes.
"If we're going to rail against equalization at the federal level, then we can't keep doing the same thing to our municipalities..."
The Premier is right.
If we're going to oppose equalization at the federal level, we shouldn't be doing the same thing to Alberta's municipalities.
Property taxes are local taxes. They should stay local.
The Province should fund provincial priorities through its other revenue sources, and municipalities should collect property taxes for local services.
Thank you for supporting the City services that keep Calgary safe, moving, and growing.

@danfrappier @ABProsperityPrj Awesome! That's about $32.5 billion CAD!
English

@Zerquetch @ABProsperityPrj For sure, by 2030, O&G should go from 7% of National GDP to 8%
English

Alberta is only 12% of Canada's population, but we produce 84% of Canada's oil.
About 1 in 9 Canadians lives here, yet we deliver the lion's share of the country's oil. We punch so far above our weight it isn't close.

@ABProsperityPrj And what percentage of alberta bitch and complain, the 2% the separatist independence shit heads
English

@danfrappier @ABProsperityPrj The cool part is that while other sectors are getting creamed by the Liberal Gov, Oil is both growing and increasing in value.
Which is why O&G is under so many attacks by them.
English

@ABProsperityPrj Also a respectable 15% of Canada’s economy. Almost as much as Toronto’s GDP.
English

@PeterGerrie @ABProsperityPrj Oil is a commodity traded at world prices.
The problem is the COST to produce a barrel of oil.
In Saudi Arabia the cost is about $3.
In Alberta it is about $37
Glad I could help.
English

@ABProsperityPrj Now do the steel industry, or the farm produce sector, the scientific labs, fishing. Alberta's problem is that they rely on oil too heavily making us subject to the world market pricing when we sell it to foreign owners at bargain prices.
English

@BouchieTorres @ABProsperityPrj You really missed the boat there, zippy. Speaking about Canada's Oil Production does not designate ownership. School is available to all, make some use of it.
English

@ABProsperityPrj Thanks for confirming that it is indeed Canada’s oil. Separating from Canada will result in ownership returning to Canada/First Nations, and Albertans would be left begging for equalization payments. Great plan. 🙄
English

@TRhino9 @ABProsperityPrj Unlike those dependant on the feds, the slaves and non-thinking, the books are open.
Ask Tommie the Commie where he gets his funds.
English

@ABProsperityPrj None of you redneck assholes invented that oil you stand on tho. Which you’d think was the case the way you all talk.
It’s this type of messaging that makes people laugh at your movement; which, despite American funding, is already dying.
English

@jifaire @ABProsperityPrj How are the Auto sector and mining doing in Canada? Oh, right, they've moved to the USA.
English

@ABProsperityPrj We are 12% of Canada's population, but produce only 0% of Canada's Aluminum, Cars, potash, steel, aerospace, shipbuilding....
We do appear to have more than 12% of Canada's morons, antivaxxers, and Freedumbers.
Funny how you can both use and abuse statistics.

@SuzieQ10101010 @ABProsperityPrj We have a dream. It has goals and a plan.
Doing nothing is easy but leads to dependence on the Gov't.
You prefer things that way?
English

An independent Alberta = low taxes, resource wealth, and a pro-business climate. That would be one of the most attractive places on the continent to build a company, not a place businesses flee.
Who agrees? 👇

@Loveofdogs_YEG @ABProsperityPrj Shouldn't your focus be on the Feds, since the Alberta lowered taxes on small biz?
English

@ABProsperityPrj Imma tell you one last time, get your own ideas. Stop stealing from small businesses.
Y’all don’t learn.
