  1. @inane do you now see why people get frustrated with the uneducated? No party can control commodity prices...also repeatedly I have pointed out who changed the formula I also don't like JK and didn't vote cpc but as usual this guy and hip play politics with it. You are correct it's not left vs right as the ndp didn't like the formula change and renewing of it. The ndp also campaigned on being no friend of JT. So trying being honest inane when guys like me or FTG have to deal with this uneducated stupidity can you understand how it gets annoying? I don't mind discussion with @Jimmy McGill as he doesn't bring politics in as all parties in Alberta agree the formula is flawed. I get this snowflake is anti conservative as is hip but it has nothing to do with the discussion. Money was saved, money was invested in Alberta, money made all Canadians lives better and money made it so Canada isn't running a 100 billion dollar deficit but some how we should have more money.
  2. How many times can you tell someone you're done with them?
  3. I never mocked you for housing refugees, I mocked you because you want praise for it. You don't attack ideas, nor have I showed any hypocrisy. You call Albertans cry babies and expect people to just take those comments. We have done more for Canada than anyone else. Telling you what you're saying is ridiculous isn't attacking your intelligence. You said why are we mad? We are mad because we give so much to all of Canada while having many working against us but meanwhile are dependent on our money. Furthermore, our economy has been in rough times since 2014 leading to significant unemployment and increased debt yet we keep giving 3 times more than the next closest province. Rather then understand the frustration you want to laugh about it. Separation is real here because of decisions by Ottawa to take advantage of Alberta. Look at hip he loves the NEP cheap fuel for all Canadians, why doesn't BC sell cheap lumber to all Canadians? Or cheap ice wine? Maybe cheap weed? Nope just Alberta should lose. Now we get less for our oil because of pipeline capacity which only benefits the Americans and it's people in BC and Quebec hurting Alberta and helping the Americans. You can't make this stuff up. So let's have a debate, inane.
  4. I have debated this topic more than anyone in this thread. You and hip make personal attacks and belittle so I respond to you two doing the same and you guys cry. Last time I checked I have been on cdc for over 10 years so I'm pretty sure the attacks aren't that bad or I would be gone. You're such a sjw who won't debate or discuss anything. Remember your outrage over "the black vote"?
  5. Lmao you have no clue how it works, dude.. They do, that's no question but generally when you're hurting you don't continue to fund the government to the tune of 20 plus billion a year. The formula has to change to allow us to use that money to help Alberta not Quebec who is running a 4 billion dollar surplus.
  6. Well Ontario flips back and fourth but it's the formula that is hurting Alberta and and to a lesser extent Saskatchewan and Bc. The program will always benefit Ontario and Quebec as they have all the seats.
  7. There is no more debating...when us "rig pigs" use facts we get the silent treatment for a couple days and then we get back to how Alberta is just crying. It's beyond stupid, honestly. The only one I think who sometimes gets it but won't admit it is @Jimmy McGill but he like politicians has to keep his uneducated base happy, ie hip and gurn.
  8. @BPA I agree Quebec is the problem. Quebec could be the shale capital of Canada but won't develop it because it would take away the "gravy train." Ftg is absolutely right the government will keep hydro low for political purposes while more than make that revenue from Alberta. However Legualt has said he wants to pull Quebec out of being a have not province and he should there is no sense pride being dependent on others. That being said 13 billion free dollars is hard to pass up as they would now fall under the same troubles with a flawed equalization system however I believe if they developed their shale gas the government of either colour in Ottawa would immediately change the equalization formula.
  9. I'm glad you agree because as FTG said him and I have mentioned this a bunch of times and it goes unanswered. The reality is those arguing how Alberta isn't getting screwed, ie Jim, hip, inane don't have a clue how equalization works. Even the ndp in Alberta called the equalization formula a joke.
  10. Bell: Alberta fires back at Trudeau, won't be held hostage Outrage!!! A three-exclamation-mark prairie fire and it’s spreading. The rage out there in Alberta’s heartland is clear and true and no-holds-barred real, a raw reality unvarnished by layers of Central Canadian politically correct bull and untainted by the self-serving games of those establishment elitists on power trips who play with working people’s lives. Earlier this week, Jonathan Wilkinson, Justin Trudeau’s climate change fighter and point man for all things Mother Earth, read Alberta the riot act. Full stop. The man from Ottawa said Alberta needs to take specific actions to get Canada to net-zero emissions by 2050. He said Alberta’s most recent action has been to fight the Trudeau government in court over the carbon tax Liberal Ottawa imposed on Albertans. Trudeau doesn’t like that court fight. The Trudeau government is looking for concrete action on climate change. Connect the dots. If Alberta wants a Yes to Teck’sgiant job-creating Frontier oilsands mine, the province has to behave. Jason Nixon is Alberta’s environment minister. Nixon is the kind of guy who doesn’t take it well when the likes of Trudeau are issuing the marching orders. He is also the kind of guy who just can’t suck up to the prime minister. He’s asked why Alberta doesn’t just give in, drop the court battle against Ottawa, slap on a provincial carbon tax and make Trudeau happy. “We’re not going to be held hostage by the federal government,” says Nixon. “We will continue to fight tooth and nail against Justin Trudeau’s job-killing carbon tax. The federal Liberals under Justin Trudeau continue to want to manage and order and boss around the province of Alberta and we won’t accept it.” https://calgarysun.com/opinion/columnists/bell-alberta-fires-back-at-trudeau-wont-be-held-hostage Nixon would make a great premier imo.
  11. While trying to hurt us or block us. Do you now understand our anger?
  12. Self reflect on how Albertans believe in investing in Alberta and building and growing Alberta? You don't make sense.
  13. Wtf are you talking about? All those things are paid for from and by Alberta/Albertans. Ottawa, BC or anyone else isn't contributing anything into the things I mentioned. It's not greed at all.
  14. Don't like giving freeloaders like you all our money..
  15. All those things I mentioned are the majority of the money. Funny why both the cpc and liberals believe in lower corporate taxes. Provinces with lower corporate taxes have lower unemployment rates. Pretty obvious stuff.
  16. @thedestroyerofworlds also the low corporate tax rate prior to the ndp made Alberta the most invested in place in Canada. That means they created 10s of thousands of jobs making life better for all those people. This has been proven over and over again, lower corporate taxes creates jobs and makes life better. Higher corporate taxes causes job losses and brings living standards down and directly hurts people. Alberta's flat tax rate is the best way to go.
  17. More anti Alberta stupidity. We have no taxes, the nicest hospitals, roads, hell the nicest everything. We pay our life savers and life teachers very well so they go above and beyond, that is investing in Alberta! Again you can't compare Norway, they don't give away 20-30 billion annually to a place called Ottawa.
  18. First you can't compare a country to a province, secondly we could do that Alsska model however we chose a different path. Best paid doctors, nurses, teachers, etc. Best highways in the country, beautiful hospitals, investing in social programs, etc. Ralph was right, give back, those resources belong to Albertans also making services the best is giving back.
  19. Actually not a bad idea...it will guarantee wexit Alberta or the freedom conservatives win the 2023 election.
  20. Then let us leave and we keep our money and you guys figure out how to create 25% of the jobs that Alberta does and figure out how to cover all the money that will be gone.
  21. A lot of you don't understand abandoned wells but they for the most part are left because future technologies may allow further extraction there. That being said the government is changing things this spring to put a timeline on how long they can sit dormant. Farmers still get paid for this.
