@furmsies Do you have the right Twitter handle? The person you shared hasn't posted or replied to anything in quite some time.

So has anyone heard of Paul's Pizza in Airdrie, Alberta? The owner is a racist bigot who uses prejudice to promote his business. Today he is mocking missing and murdered indigenous woman. His business Facebook page is full of right wing hate. Scum of the earth.

@crunchytarian @Tablesalt13 @crunchy_mum2024 Universities in Canada are publicly funded to the tune of 70 to 80%. We don't get to vote on that. Could you imagine if the government tap shut off and they were forced to operate on their own? They'd lean up and probably provide a better education.

@Tablesalt13 @crunchy_mum2024 I guess I missed the part where Canadians are being forced to take ‘free’ university against their will 🤷🏽‍♂️ Last I checked, it was incredibly expensive

‼️MAJOR ALERT At the Liberal Party convention in Canada they are proposing LOCKING Canadian workers in Canada by forcing them to pay $500,000 dollars to work in the USA! ....which only the elite can afford. Canada is turning into a leftist PRISON CAMP! .. FAST!

@KirkLubimov Well actually, a whole bunch of it is, just discounted at 15%. The US buys at the Canadian thrift store and marks it up. That's because our politicians are stupid.

A whole convoy of empty oil tankers on the way to the US to fill up. It could have been Canada but we have land acknowledgments to do and carbon tax instead.

The government should invest in the private oil companies in Canada versus owning oil companies and pipelines outright. Take CPP investments, take other investible funds and put them into companies like Enbridge, TC Energy, CNRL, Suncor, Cenovus etc. and let those companies that know how to produce the oil generate wealth for all Canadian citizens. The government does not run any business well. Never has.

It took conservatives only 45 years to agree that Canada should have a National Energy Program. Is Aaron Gunn going to cross the floor to Pierre Trudeau's government?

This is like the BC carbon tax, being collected since 2007, going straight into general revenue. We get told these taxes are used for the programs we are getting taxed on, and they aren't. The city of Calgary now has a billion dollar finger pointing exercise, but we all know it starts at the top.

I feel betrayed as well⬇️ “Between 2016 and 2025, the water dividend ranged from $106 million to $114 million, or more than $1.1 billion cumulatively. It bears mention that all this occurred on the watch of aggressively progressive former mayors Naheed Nenshi and Jyoti Gondek”

@DR87268984 @1roquetrader @BubleQe Australia has 10. Canada, the US and Australia all started looking at LNG around the same time. It's sad.

@1roquetrader @BubleQe Liberals are Canadas worst enemy. Plenty of great Canadians across the country in favour of developing our resources.

Talk about arbitrage... All in landed LNG costs from the Canadian #Montney are $5-6 USD. #LNG #NaturalGas $SHEL $TOU.TO

Not ignoring it. I have seen the numbers range from $3b to$30b annually. With loans included in that number. Loans arent subsidies. Royalty credits for drilling are delayed payments, but still repaid. I'd guess the number is 5-10 per year. I have seen the $30b overspend on Transmountain counted as a subsidy, again it is not. It was a poor decision by the federal government to drive away private money. In return they now make $140m in profit quarterly.

@rustybuttons35 @gator_gum You're obviously ignoring the $15 B in subsidies O&G producers get every year from the Fed govt.

Claim: We need a pipeline. Alberta drives Canada and drives the economy. Fact: Ontario and Quebec account for half of Canada's total GDP. Neither of them depend on a finite and volatile resource either. Oil and Gas make up around 4% of the gross GDP. Opinion: It's funny that Alberta says the "East" is holding them back when it's the West trying to block massive infrastructure investments that would benefit the biggest economic corridor and most densely populated spot in Canada.

@Spudders22 @TheBreakdownAB Take a quick look at who uses the most AI data centers in the world. Which companies in particular, and then figure out which of those products you want to get rid of if you don't want data centers.

@rustybuttons35 @TheBreakdownAB Dude.. it's Al data centres. Do you know the difference?

“Danielle Smith's government is exempting celebrity investor Kevin O'Leary's massive Wonder Valley data centre near Grand Prairie, AB, from a provincial environmental assessment” Because of course they did. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli nationalobserver.com/2026/04/03/new…

@LarryTerry7681 @TheBreakdownAB Telling people to get on-board with data centers or decide to drop the products that use them isn't cowardly.

@rustybuttons35 @TheBreakdownAB You are such a bootlicking coward. Your entire life revolves around obeying authority.

@Zee0731 Our CPP is only 10% invested in Canada and over 40% in the US. What's stopping our government managed funds from investing our money in Canada, in public oil companies? Take a look at the US investments, they sure aren't scared of oil, just Canadian oil.

Liberals built a national energy company so Cdns could benefit from Cdn resources. Conservatives sold it off. Petro-Can is now part of Suncor, a private company. The public stake is gone. And this is the pattern: Build it,sell it, lose control and says it’s the Libs fault.

Comparing GDP and population prosperity against the standard that Canada is highly educated and can see through bullshit, is exactly relavent. Our country has been in a 0.7% quagmire of growth and our populace doesn't see through the bullshit the Liberal government has been heaping on.

@rustybuttons35 @gator_gum Well, moving the goalpost to an anti-intellectual stereotype is not a compelling argument against the OP, nor is posting a post hoc ergo propter hoc about the GDP. But thanks for proving @gator_gum's point.

There is a direct relationship between the education of a populace and its ability to reject/detect misinformation and bullshit.

@gator_gum @ABHank76467601 Spending by the federal government of Canadian tax dollars is nearly $3,000 more per person in Quebec than Alberta. Ontario is almost $1,000. If we are all equal, why aren't we funded the same? Montreal is a have not city??

@ABHank76467601 Do you mean why do we all pay the same taxes and bigger places require more spending?

Teachers wonder why they have lost the support of many Albertans. Fly whatever colour suits you, you be you. Everyone is different, that's ok. No creed, race, gender or religion is better than any other. They all have flaws. Humans are flawed. Teach that, it's ok to not be perfect, or great at everything. Start there. Stop thinking coloured cards at a convention is actual reality. The world doesn't run like that. They can argue this all they want, but during the strike, when teachers organized walkouts by students, that's union interference in their ability to learn. That's politicizing the education system. Reset the clock. Teach them critical thinking. Teach them to read. Teach them to write, actual cursive. Teach them math. Teach them history, including how all religions have played a role in the world structure and how it works. Teach them human rights and how different societies live. Teach them it's ok to fail. Teach them chemistry. Teach them biology. Teach them tech and computer programming. Teach that apprenticeship programs are high demand, and a quality path to travel. Teach them about their health and welfare which includes nutrition and sexual reproduction at ages appropriate. Teach them how to be independent thinkers. If teachers did that, we would have a higher educated society, more well rounded young adults. We'd have better parents that understand their kids will stumble. Your job is to dust them off, and push them forward, not carry them for their entire lives and protect them from failure. That's not reality. Currently we have grade 11 students reading at a grade 5 level, we have kids who do not understand how to write, we tell them trades are useless and we push kids through a broken system. Leaving us with uneducated youth. We have helicopter parents making almost every scenario worse, because life is hard, so I don't want my kids exposed to that. Then we wonder why they have no confidence and don't understand many basics of humanity.

Behold, Alberta's future. Janis Irwin and Marie Renaud, both NDP MLAs, proudly posing in a classroom draped in a massive trans pride flag, surrounded by rainbow everything and 'love is love' propaganda. Does anyone really think this is normal and productive? This is exactly why we need Bill 25 - "An Act to Remove Politics and Ideology from Classrooms and Amend the Education Act, 2026" These folks turned schools into ideological theme parks, pushing personal activism over reading, writing, and math. Bill 25 is about reminding everyone that classrooms are for education, not rainbow indoctrination sessions and flag worship. If only NDP MLAs spent half as much energy on actual learning instead of turning kids into props for their cause. We've allowed radicals to infiltrate all our institutions, and it's time to take them back. Keep ideology out of the classroom.

The pipelines need the government to get out of the way regarding tanker bans, build a set tax rate and environmental regulations that don't change every day. Industry will manage the rest. The rail seems like a good idea until people keep pointing out it will gor from 90 to 150B by the time the government is done with it.

So, building high speed rail is "the west subsidizing" the east.... But, building a pipe line isn't the opposite? Also, this isn't remotely how taxation works. We don't pay "per person" for projects.

@redsnoopy69 Loans aren't subsidies. The federal government scaring away private investment in an $8b project and instead funding it themselves and making it a $30b project isn't a subsidy, it's stupidity.

If Oil and Gas makes money for the country why does it need ≈$35 billion a year in subsidies?

@kpac_15 @grok @redsnoopy69 And take out loans by the EDC, that's not a subsidy, that's a loan. Like Farm Credit isn't subsidizing farmers by giving them loans they pay back. It's ludicrous people try and add loans to the equation.

@grok @redsnoopy69 Thanks grok.

@redsnoopy69 @grok Does Alberta’s oil and gas industry receive federal subsidies above and beyond what every other major industry in Canada receives? Or are these just tax incentives?

We use the same logic of why we build pipelines to the West coast to get our provincial oil and gas to Asia where all the people live. Revenue and jobs for Canadians. If the corridor did enhance the gdp by 15-24b per year, that adds to the country's borrowing power, lowers interest rates and helps every Canadian. Just like our pipelines. We may not enjoy the East and they think we are all inbred, shit kickers, but we are still stuck in this together.

Can you please explain to taxpayers in Edmonton, Saskatoon and Winnipeg how an Ontario-Quebec rail project is "nation building" project.
