Ryan Strome Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 @Warhippy what did you say? to be fair you weren't the only one who attacked me over it.. jimmy.. In a 4-1 majority decision, the Alberta Court of Appeal has deemed the federal Liberals’ carbon tax to be unconstitutional. The federal backstop came into effect in Alberta on Jan. 1, and applies to gasoline, diesel and home heating fuels. In its findings, three of the justices, including Chief Justice Catherine Fraser, agreed with Alberta’s argument that the carbon tax interferes with the province’s exclusive jurisdiction to manage its natural resources, as laid out in section 92(a) of the Constitution. “The federal government is not the parent; and the provincial governments are not its children.” Justice Thomas Wakeling wrote a separate decision in favour of Alberta’s position. https://globalnews.ca/news/6587652/alberta-court-of-appeal-carbon-tax/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds of the short fat unemployed guy at the bar... Hot female model walks in and the short fat guy... says. " She looks like a real bitch..... " Is it jealousy why Albertans hate Quebec. Inferiority complex ? Quebec is just an amazing province to visit or live in. Wonderful people.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, if you don't like paying federal taxes... I have a solution for you. Move to a part of Canada that has next to no natural resources... no employers... no jobs... no way of making any liveable income.... Go LIVe there. Raise your family there... Then you won't to support any other provinces... Problem solved for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might shock you, but there's more to being part of a nation than money. You throw around this 20 billion number in complete isolation and with no context relative the billions of other dollars that go back and forth between all provinces, and the uncountable other benefits that provinces enjoy being part of a country. I know it just suits your narrow narrative to pound on this point and I know you are set in stone in all your opinions, but man, this is incredibly complex. I do not get why you insist on wildly simplifying other than you seem to need to be 'right' about something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
