  1. Sure but I never said reward the people who pay the most, they already get taxed the most and the top 10% already contributes over 70% of all taxes. What I said Is there should be a minimum bar that people need to pass before they get to vote. If you want to have a say where the tax dollars are used you need to have contributed to that fund.
  2. I’m up for something like this. You need to have paid at least X amount of taxes in the last Y amount of years before you are eligible to vote. Prove your contributions to society before you get to vote on actions that affect society.
  3. You said foreign owned which is false. Alberta has the agricultural and recreational land ownership act and foreign ownership of land regulations in places that prevents this from happens.
  4. I don’t know if you can label all left into that group. I think you see a shift of both left and the right breaking off into more extremes, and while they aren’t the majority they are the most vocal and get the most attention.
  5. Some of them aren’t even Canadians. https://globalnews.ca/news/6601384/who-are-the-wetsuweten-protesters/amp/ and here’s the kicker. The costal gaslink is going to improve global carbon emissions and help China get off coal. This pipeline is a win/ win/win for the global environment, Canada, and First Nations and yet you got clueless people opposing this. It’s sad because these clueless people have no desire to becomes more informed on the matter. https://www.capp.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Enabling_Canada_s_Liquefied_Natural_Gas_Industry_Global_Emissions_Reduction_Benefit-333653.pdf
  6. The idea that you don't think Dahlin is as good as controlling the game is purely based on the fact that you don't watch him at all. The kid is so slick and see's the ice so well. and guess what he's still only 19 years old. Dahlin does this type of stuff on a daily basis.
  7. RCMP is managed by psp. PSP has invested in TC who has funds in natural gas. Some of those funds were costal gas link. In December TC sold 65% of its natural gas stake to Alberta, us and Korea. any conclusion stating that the RCMP has a conflict of interest is really trying to pull at straws on that claim.
  8. Ever since the Calgary game where they were on him all the time, Petey has been far less noticeable. It’s beginning to be crunch time and a much more of a playoff like atmosphere, the game is getting tighter and teams are focusing in on our top guys. If we want to have playoff success petey needs to figure out a way to elevate his game during these meaningful games like the true superstars are able to do. The good news is our captain Bo has shown true leadership and is going to do what ever it takes to drag us into the post season.
  9. Where did I mention anything about penalty minutes? There’s more to playing “defense“ than putting up points. If there wasn’t, the Norris trophy would simply just go to the highest producing defensemen.
  10. wth are you blabbering about. I made a statement that rural communities get screwed because technologies don’t exist. You in a triggered rage reply with complete nonsense, like you typically do. And you say I’m walking it back? Others were smart enough to comprehend my statement as it was quite simple but for some reason you are the only that gets confused and goes off on a tangent. Learn how to read beyond a 5th grade level and life will be much easier on you. Not my fault you can’t read. Your stupidity bores me.
  11. What the heck does any of that have to do with what I said. Man, you lack any ability to comprehend simple conversation. Read the bolded again, read it slowly, maybe one word at a time. when an alternative doesn’t exist, which for most farm equipment doesn’t for example like grain drying. But please keep posting your nonsense haha. It’s why the average farmer income is expected to fall by 12% by 2022. Like I said. Tonka trucks is the closest you’ve been to any farm equipment. Clearly you have never been to a farm Haha. Thanks for making yourself look even dumber. I get a kick of watching you constantly look foolish, which happens at least 2 times a day here. Lol. Makar is a stud D. I never said he wouldn’t be anything, I said I wouldn’t pick him in the top 5 over the other options. I was wrong he is worthy of a top 5 pick. Still happy we have Petey over him though. Nothing wrong with admitting when you are wrong. Something you struggle so mightily with even though it applies to you 99.99% of the time.
  12. Ah so you’re saying there are realistic alternatives today for replacing farm equipment. Oh wait you wouldn’t have the slightest clue to what farmers have for equipment because lets be real, the closest thing you ever came to anything resembling farm equipment is a tonka truck. People like you are so out to lunch, it’s like you think your food just magically appears in the grocery store. There’s a reason why the flipping Green Party is calling for a break on the carbon tax for the farmers. But hip is the expert . Oh wait you’re not., you’re just a pathological liar.
  13. The carbon tax cost the company I’m involved with a million a year. the idea that people will switch to alternatives is such a joke, Especially when the alternatives don’t exist. Too many narrow minded city folk that don’t have a clue who ends up getting the short end of the stick on this. I’ll let you a hint it’s the rural communities, the people who don’t have city transit options, who don’t have any realistic options for hybrid equipment. The rural communities get screwed. the reason why big companies like Exxon are for it is the same reason why Walmart is for raising min wage. It’s because they can insulate themselves while the small companies can’t, leaving them bigger control.
  14. First of all it’s a team game, not an individual game. Marky has been extremely important to canucks run this year, as is miller and Petty. Second of all there only a 6 point difference between the two teams. That’s winning more 3 games. Its not like canucks are some power house. We are in a weak division, if we were in the East, we wouldn’t even be in a wildcard spot.
  15. What advanced stats are you using. Last time I checked they were next to identical. corsi 51.1 vs 52.7 fenwick 49.2 vs 52.7 SAT 50.3 vs 53.0 isat/60 9.16 vs 9.47 ozone start 58.3 vs 61.5 quinn averages more TOI including pp TOI dahlin average 50 seconds more SH TOI/game Dahlin leads his D draft class with 62 hits. Quinn has a total of 6. Dahlin averages 2.43 blocked shots per game, Hughes only 1.65. give aways Dahlin averages 2.13/game, Hughes is 2.58/game take aways Dahlin is .79/game, Hughes is 1.42 Dahlin has .71 p/gp, Hughes has 0.82p/gp. yeah Dahlin just doesn’t have the same potential..... he’s making nhl history but just doesn’t have the same potential.
  16. Yeah fake news https://www.jwnenergy.com/article/2019/7/no-natural-gas-not-bad-coal-iea/
  17. Here's some evidence that maybe you could explain to KOS. Selling natural gas to china helps them obtain a cleaner energy source than there current Coal-fired power generation. China currently accounts for half of the worlds coal consumption and if Canada could sell China LNG, it would reduce GLOBAL GHG emissions by 60 to 90 million tonnes annually, equivalent to all of B.C.’s GHG emissions in a year and 10 per cent of Canada’s. The fact that people say they are concerned for climate change yet then oppose a natural gas pipeline that will give a heavy emitting country a cleaner solution is mind boggling. I mean how stupid can some people be.
  18. So Edson is the meth capital of Canada......and it’s also a place you frequented quite often...... ......it all starts to make sense now....
  19. Yep there is a ton of risk on the move. We all know that JB values playoffs hockey for the young cores development and he's willing to bet some futures on hoping to achieve that. He values this development at the same cost that contending teams value getting that piece to put them over the top for a playoff round. Whether this is a smart investment or not is another debate. If things go south and we miss playoffs, it could turn very ugly. We could essentially be not picking till the 80's at the 2020 draft and have no playoff growth to show for it. That's not a good look for a team who hasn't made the playoffs since 2015. If things go well, players like Petey, Hughes, Jake and Bo learn to see what it take to be successful in the playoffs
  20. Yes please do learn. You are the one using net debt for some reason which really isn’t the best as it would imply Alberta could simply sell off all there assets in order to pay off total debt which is a very unrealistic approach outside of declaring bankruptcy. Remember net debt is calculated by total liabilities minus financial assets. Those financial assets include the 16 billion heritage fund which has nothing to do with any current political party and it’s not going to be cashed out anytime soon. So you can drop the idea that net debt should be discussed at all, it has no relevance in this discussion and wasn’t even part of the initial claim. Second of all. Again we both agreed on that my report used numbers that calculated the debt from mid 2018, those numbers rose quite substantially by the time the UPC took over in March. In fact. https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/3d732c88-68b0-4328-9e52-5d3273527204/resource/2b82a075-f8c2-4586-a2d8-3ce8528a24e1/download/budget-2019-fiscal-plan-2019-23.pdf (just to page 168) So the fact that your arguing over with @Ryan Strome about the 33.1 billion (2018 numbers) is funny considering actual March 2019 numbers show it is closer to an added 50.8 billion In debt. but like rupt said. So now that it’s clear as day and there’s no more to debate, will you admit strome was right? Or will you say he’s wrong because he was about 10 billion “short” in his estimate? Moment of truth time.....
  21. @Ryan Strome never mentioned anything to do with net debt. That’s something you mistakenly through in there yourself. he clearly said “Was it the NDP that added 40 billion in debt?“ The link I posted “When the NDP took over in 2015, Alberta’s debt totalled$11.9-billion. It currently sits at $45-billion“ Do the math. Might not be exactly 40 billion but as you pointed out those we 2018 numbers, debt had went up since that report. And even if it didn’t 33.1 billion isn’t chump change.
  22. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-rachel-notleys-other-big-nemesis-albertas-debt/ And here's a fun one..... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/road-ahead-brooks-alberta-debt-deficit-politics-1.4574465 So Kenney makes some needed tax cuts and that even hips CBC was calling for and now UPC is the devil. Funny how times change.
  23. This is how clueless some of your are. Albertas unemployment is a 7.3%. This time last year it was 7.2%. in 2017 it was 8.9%. Funny none of you posted anything a few years ago in regards to those numbers, gee I wonder why???? ...But but upc is killing jobs......nope they’ve maintained job losses while at the same time started grappling high expenses. Alberta lost 19k jobs, most of which were part time. Meanwhile Alberta also added 6600 high paying oil and gas jobs in the same month as a result of the “tax cut” that apparently never works. Albertas employment rate is the highest in the country at 65.2% Reporters are just getting lazy and you few are lapping it up. but don’t let me ruin you ignorant bashing.
