Ryan Strome Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 13 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: there you go with "off Alberta" again. Do I really need to explain equalization to you one more time? I guess I do. Most of the money for equalization comes from Federal income tax, you know, everyone's salaries in Canada, all of it in one lump, not just AB. Individual AB citizens do not pay more into equalization, they pay the same as every other taxpaying Canadian. Some more equalization money comes from resource revenues. Every other province is hit with a calculation that uses 100% of their resource revenue, but Harper dropped AB's to 50%. Nice to have a PM eh? AB is blessed with being awash in oil revenues and a concentration of high paying jobs, and you make it sound like the rest of the country should somehow be grateful? what planet are from? No Albertan does more than any other Canadian with the same wage. So has does Alberta benefit when we are constantly a have province? We don't we don't get any of that money.

There's no reason for bad things not to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't we don't get any of that money. you don't need it. Thats the whole point of equalization. Do you begrudge Saskatchewan for taking it for years? And you do get "that money" back in the form of out of province employees. In your world that doesn't matter, but if AB didn't have free access to other peoples tradesmen and engineers you'd have a real problem on your hands.

Ronaldoescobar Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 2 hours ago, Ryan Strome said: You sure were when you were accepting equalization payments off Alberta. Well really it wasnt a huge amount as BC has only collected $3B since 1957. Alberta is the lowest by far but even they had equalization inflows from 1957-1963 to the tune of $92M or so. BC is actually the second lowest (by an even greater difference than BC-AB) when it comes to receiving equalization monies being $5B less than the 3rd lowest Saskatchewan. Basically its Manitoba, Ontario, QC and the Maritime provinces taking all of our money ;P But they also have the vast majority of the population of Canada.

Ohh know my post rep ratio isnt hi what will i do what did we do before it happened.does this effect my credit score or how much time i have to wait in line at the store how can i be more shallow like you?

kingofsurrey Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Looks like the Alberta WHINE protest has officially failed. BC wine sales are probably higher now than before Alberta's protest........ with the Americans supporting BC wines. No one wants Alberta dirty tar sludge. It is the most unprofitable oil there is. Its such a shame Alberta wasted all the petro tax dollars and nothing to show from all those years of oll taxes... Such mismanagment.

We aren't taxed to death like Norway, B.C, Ontario, etc. Doctors and teachers actually care because they're being rewarded generously for their superb skills. Highways are the best here and we probably have more highways than anyother province, oh and we funded Quebecs universal day care program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Interesting time, this whole "trade war". Was reading that the BC gov could stop all construction as it poses a barrier in their ability to resolve First Nation land claims. Would end up in the supreme court system for years, yes, but something that could totally blow up in JT's face with the whole truth and reconcilliation movement and leave him entirely at odds with both his Corporate donors and the entire FN population. JT doesn't want to deal with that. It's a $&!#storm and for the next four years minimum, BC won't be backing down. Never know, we could even enact a law considering any pipeline building, eco-terrorism. How awkward would that be? Provincial RCMP set out to arrest the Federally appointed, corporate RCMP for conspiracy to commit eco-terrorism! Total $&!#storm.
