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. I would have really appreciated if you hadda helped me out the last four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My criteria for picking wine...... Is it red? Is it cheap? Curious to how that works. Peller is national but Copper Moon is from Okanagan. One would think Copper Moon would be affected by this. Nonetheless I wasn't affected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 As someone who been to pretty much everywhere in western Canada, I can tell you that Alberta as a whole does not suck... ...but if you've ever been to Brooks, or Ponoka.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Bragging about "nice highways" in Alberta is laughable. Of course the highways are nice. Except for the small section of the province hoverhanding the mountains, you have flat, desolate tundra to build whatever you want over. There's no excuse not to have excellent highways.

Okay, I guess sometimes that word applies. fair enough. I was thinking just in terms of this company and that specific project but sure maybe someday dil bit will be killing salmon somewhere off our coast..... Hey if there was an R&D project that showed putting in some additive e.g, makes the junk float for long enough to be cleaned up then sure, pipe it through. But as it stands today it is at a high risk of sinking, and thats death to things like our prawn and ground fish like cod and halibut industries. Thats the fundamental unfairness of this thing, BC takes all the risk, AB gets paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B.C.
