  1. Who's responsible for the economy doing well? Last time I check it was the leader of the country. .....
  2. Seven million jobs? Ha how many has it created ? Ha
  3. But look at trump.....hate him or like him , he brought jobs back to the USA to replace the jobs they would lose thx to oil......JT has done nothing like that for Canada
  4. Ha okay I agree but I'm sorry min wage isn't do able for most families though ... i agree though but now where do you send people like that? And don't say Texas ha
  5. and didn't people from b.c tell people with Alberta plates to leave? I agree that alberta has messed up and it's our fault..... im not disagreeing with that..... but kenny has already stated his shipping the rcmp out ha and creating jobs for albertans. Also what other industries offer an actual living wage? Sorry min wage won't cut it for most families..... also got to remember most boss's look down on oil experience...cause they know if or when the patch comes back everyone runs back so.....
  6. Ha well in albertans defence , Alberta seen that it worked for b.c so why not lol
  7. Okay look at it like this, you old enough to remember when logging was king.....how did logging benifit the towns or b.c or even canada? logging booming didn't do anything for Manitoba but oil on the other hand gave fort la boss the money it desperately needed, to get new computers and such.... in 2006 our school finally got new computers for most school and a smart board for almost every class.....before that ibm old white hunks ha I moved to jaffery b.c in 08 .....b.c had brand new Apple computers but that's it.....it was like jumping in a time warp.(that was in 2008) ....even the inveremere school lacked funding and the logging companies and mills didn't do jack..... hippie I get what your driving at......there's no place for oil at the table in the future and I agree with you on that but I don't see how pretty much cutting oil off is a good idea....imo this is the time for Alberta/ Canada to hand pick which companies to save and which to let crash, it would also allow government to tighten up regularizations and actually have control.... I get no one wants to see the buy outs like Harper did but we need something/ a plan wouldn't you agree? no one wants oil but until electric cars and trucks are affordable and actually logical then We can tell oil to F off..... hippie if we say good bye to oil what do we do with all the people out of work ? And what happens when JT stops the covid payments? Hippie im all for change but it has to be logical...... you also have to look at the type of workers out of work......a lot of them don't know anything else..... im not crying about oil , I'm crying cause the problem with government is the same problem the people have....we all want change but got no clue which industry will take oils place.....maybe the pot industry ha
  8. First off I'm fully aware that oil is weak but the thing is we are an oil country but our country treats oil as the devil...... you mentioned those tax breaks but another poster pointed out that those tax breaks haven't helped Alberta......bring other indusrties to Alberta and thx to Kenny we have already saw Tec companies leave...... Okay look at it like this, if Canada doesn't want to invest in oil then how come JT didn't do what trump did and give a big wad of cash to the farmers? And create more jobs? Or bring more companies to Canada, we all saw apple move to India...... This is the problem I have , Canada wants to move pasted oil but no one thought of a back up plan.....like it doesn't take a genius to see that if you take a million jobs away in one industry then you need another industry to step up and we are not there yet..... these type of things is like a meth addict, if you take the drug away cold turkey you can die......that's why people tapper off the drug slowly....... JT has hated oil since day one but the dumbass didn't think any further ha it's kinda like when Biden was asked what would be his first move as president and he said beat trump lol 9 billion and how much did Canada make off oil?......
  9. But isn't that why we shared what we made? I didn't see the rest of Canada turning down those oil checks ha or offering to invest in other industries.....oops they did just that but they invested in their own provinces and not Alberta and Canada had how long to build up another industry to take the pressure off oil but.......lets go green and we will figure everything else out later ha
  10. Got a better idea on how to attract business's? Need jobs and the Rich don't get out of bed unless it's worth their while....... Diversify? Ha how do you off set what oil makes? And also Alberta is the leader in more then just the oil and gas industry..... It's not like it put all its eggs in one basket .....problem is one chicken pops out gold eggs and the other pops just normal eggs. B.c hasn't felt that the strain? How many tourist companies went under? I hate to say this but why can't the rest of the provinces prop up Alberta like Alberta did for the rest of Canada ...... don't need taxes , need jobs...... everything is albertans fault? Ha I might buy that if it was true ha how does one province falls and the rest of Canada follows.....hmmmmm sounds like Canada should have diversify more and not have counted on Alberta so much....... funny thing is the timber industry actually does well in ressions , just hope the rest of Canada can afford timber ha
  11. that only helps if people have money to shop with.... thats the problem with our system, we look at raising taxes instead of trying to give Canadians deals, Canada only keeps 20% of our cattle but beef ain't cheap in a store, could say the same about gas and everything else Canada produces.....raising taxes I've seen that in history somewhere oh yea go look at Brits history ha doesn't end well.
  12. Ha I live in the west ha I think I know what you mean , Heck Greece has declared bankruptcy .....you think canada is to big to fail? Alberta has to make cuts, it's not like JT will come help.....and JT can only offer magic beans cause he doesn't know how to make a million jobs appear over night..... right now JT and him flushing money into the system is the only thing keeping us from a recession worst then the dirty 30's , more provinces should being making cuts and heck it sure has helped b.c public schools :p b.c should have some stored away from the money they saved ha Also those videos show either road.....if you don't make cuts then how do we pay them? edit* if you live in b.c then your already use to paying for your medical....albertans might have to follow suit
  13. You must have hated Bert lol and jake has stood up for his teammates acouple times this season... I know people bang that drum about Bert but Jakes play reminds me of Bert at times. I get it why you ticked off and want to write him off but his one of those guys that never had to work at it so it understandable but also the Canucks havnt helped him out at the start.....willie sent Jake backwards and thx to the sedins Jake wSnt encouraged to let that d bag go.....Jake hits better then any player in the game today and their clean most of the time but we didn't encourage that side of his game and the leaders on our team at the time didn't help, look at the turn around for Jake since we started playing his style.
  14. You do realize the other side of that is bankruptcy right? Trying to make the hard cuts sooner rather then later..... also going private does work......
  15. Your kidding right? Okay well thx for outing your self ha zucker made a hit on rooster and Jake stepped in and yes that was while playing the wild before the bubble. Jake has also kept up tempo a few times...problem is he isn't always at full throttle. Hate on the kid all you want but stick to the facts.
  16. I'm sorry if Tom Wilson can be a top line player so can Jake ha please tell me how high wilsons IQ is ha
  17. I agree Green's special treatment for Brock kinda ticked me off this season. Jake earned his chance but his style of play and proving he can produce with sutter doesn't help his case and then you look at Brock .......most teams that put a player of brocks status on their third line benefit but Brock didn't do jack.....but proved he doesn't have the foot speed to keep up to system or style we play. To me Jake just needs green to whisper mcdavids name in his ear and every time mcdavid has the puck Jake staples him....kinda like what the caps do with Wilson or reeves in Vegas or for the perfect example look at Debrusk in Boston.
  18. I was looking at their left side and figured OJ would fit perfectly or rathbone and I did say one or the other. Also arnt they starting the season without their top two wingers? So that's why I say Jake OJ and a second for Debrusk sounds fair or go for Carlo. Also don't they have cap problems? Or am I misremembering
  19. Van been thinking about a splash and Boston has been quiet. So Carlo and debrusk would be my targets. I don't know what the asking price is but Jake , OJ or rathbone and a pick for probably just one of them but was curious cause the culture in Boston is the type of culture Jim wants in van and both players developed with a good team culture and play with bite and debrusk and bo on the same line would drive people crazy or put debrusk with petey and miller. Not to mention Carlo and Hughes could make a good top pairing. So what you all think? Is there a deal to be done?
  20. Hmmmm let's see when your captain calls you out in the press about a hit....then your coach tells you to easy up cause his hits can hurt people .....hmmmmm that was within his first two years in the nhl and we wonder why his taken steps backwards..... and not to mention Jake never actually plays with a play making center.....( look at how well Jake played with petey) instead we stick him with sutter and beagle ha and you wonder why the kid doesn't tear it up ha not to forget Jake played his heaviest game with DD watching his back and our team hasn't had that since DD retired so yes I would say this team has mismanaged Jake and I see people bring up the weight, let's not forget Willie told him to add so how can you blame the player for listening to the coach...... okay everyone says Jake has low hockey IQ, does anyone know how you help that? you leave a player with the same line mates for atleast 20 games......burr learned what he had to do to compliment the Sedins and Jake could do that for petey and Miller but you got to give him a chance.....
  21. Funny thing is Jake gets points with guys like sutter as his center ha I wish we had a big play making center , make the most out of our goal scoring wingers
  22. Okay so by your story , he was drunk and trying impress some girl ha a lot of young guys do that. Ha man i get it, I grew up hearing stories of my uncles and mom partying with Theo flury and iggy in Inveremere and I'm okay with d bags aslong as they leave it all on the ice like flury and iggy both did with the flames and don't see the point of judging Jake cause he got drunk and ran his mouth , captain Bo will deal with that, one way or another..... thing is with Jake , if we trade him , who fills what he brings? Debrusk ? Like teams don't trade players like Jake anymore, the draft has changed and now guys that play a heavy game are now the rare breeds..... also the way we are trending we may not see a top 15 pick in awhile unless a trade so......
  23. Have you not noticed how ever pwf from b.c is the same ha E Kane and Jamie Benn both D bags....lol You sound like Boston when they had to convince themselves to trade seguin ha
  24. So sign wennberg and trade Guad , OJ or rathbone and throw in a cap dump and a second for josh Manson and if they want a first then they take both Loui and sutter or rooster.....
