JM_ Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 1 minute ago, Ryan Strome said: Come on, Jim. Whether it be through equalization, job creation in the rest of the country, or even in your home provinces case, doing many medical procedures on individuals from Saskatchewan who don't have the resources there, Alberta has done so much for Canada. The argument doesn't fall off the rails, we constantly get trashed and blocked and we do the very most for Canada. Want to end this debate? Answer two questions, if Ontario or Quebec were Alberta in terms of being rich in oil would they be fighting against Ottawa to extract and move their resource? Would there be so much government red tape? Answer truthfully please. No AB didn't do that 'for Canada'. No one took a high paying rig job in AB for the benefit of Quebec. Just stop it with suggesting there was some special brand of Alberta altruism. Of course if Ontario had oil things would likely be different. But maybe not. There's always been an anti-Ottawa bent in the west and if AB had no oil and the feds were trying to push through a pipeline you might have seen a real western separation by now. Its all theoretical and does nothing but make guy like you even angrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in the future, the tide changes, I would hope that BC would help out Alberta just as much, if in the position to do so I could see it, outside the lower mainland that is. But here is the thing, just being honest we will always be better off so it's not help we need just no more blocking and impeding. Like you said earlier, let's all work together so we can pull more Canadians out of poverty and all Canadians can reap the rewards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I can't keep my bloody mouth shut here on this subject...….lol I am way too opinionated..... I will say this...….If Alberta had come in with a comprehensive solution to our coast line concerns and offered to make it in BC's best interest (aka $$$$) I am absolutely sure, BC would have taken the deal....IMO, from what I have read, that did not happen There is enough blame to give everyone a bit......IMHO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HerrDrFunk Posted April 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2020 Because of some fortuitous circumstances here in California, Governor Newsom recently announced that the state would be lending hundreds of ventilators to other states that have a higher need for them at the moment. Between that and the taxes I pay, I guess it's time for me to demand that people from other states start kissing my ass and thanking me for the privilege? 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyCanuck Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Just now, Jimmy McGill said: so we're mad about theoretical stuff. OK. Albertans are getting the same programs everyone else is. The oil industry in AB is negotiating 10s of billions in a liquidity ball out. But yeah, nothin'. So you're getting a pipeline through BC. You're getting bailouts. And.... you're mad. I'm mad cause when ever Alberta needs something they need to beg..... I think you mean if the pipeline gets built.......it's been approved for awhile..... yes I know we are getting the same programs only problem is I knew guys before this about to lose their shirts..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.I.A.H.N Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Here is the rub Who's oil is it really? I mean, does BC, Alberta, PEI, etc really own the oil, or is it Canada's? I would ultimately say it is Canada's Just thought I would put a little more wood on the fire...just for fun! It was starting to burn down....
