Reading reports that the Buffalo Party is running in 2nd place in the Saskatchewan provincial election. If true Kenney will look more perplexed than usual. 

do you have a link to that? are they really more popular than the NDP in SK now?

 

perfectly named party though for a western separatist movement, they'd all run off a cliff together.

Education experts slam leaked Alberta curriculum proposals

 

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/education-experts-slam-leaked-alberta-curriculum-proposals-1.5766570

 

Curriculum advisers hand-picked by the Alberta government are recommending changes to the kindergarten-to-Grade 4 curriculum for fine arts and social studies that would eliminate all references to residential schools and their harms to Indigenous people while removing references to "equity."

The advisers also recommend that seven-and eight-year-olds learn about feudalism, Chinese dynasties and Homer's Odyssey in social studies classes.

The drafts, obtained by CBC News, include lengthy lists of names, landmarks and events for young children to memorize. 

They say five- and six-year-olds in Grade 1 should be familiar with the artwork of Claude Monet, Georgia O'Keefe, Pablo Picasso and Edgar Degas.

They also say first graders should learn Bible verses about creation as poetry and fourth graders should learn that most non-white Albertans are Christians.

 

 

 

Come on Berta, what are you doing?

He bought a  pipeline, with federal dollars, to help out Alberta but you can't see that?

You mean you bought an pipeline that Canada needed and thx to lack of action from the government is the reason they had to buy it. 

Also how does it help Alberta if it never gets finished?....

1.  It is NOT his job to grow private industry.  At all.  His job is to govern the nation.  Alberta has spent tens of billions on oil from the taxpayers pockets and it has gotten them nowhere but in debt.  I refuse to allow my money to be spent on corporate subsidization.  The market, does not reflect the investment made by the Alberta government and in no way justifies further investment at the federal level.

 

2.  JT lost jobs?  Show me a pink slip signed by JT, the Libs or in fact the government of Canada.  I'll wait.  Why?  because you cannot.  JT has not fired anyone.  A massive slide in oil prices caused by US and OPEC production has.  A worldwide pandemic that has killed travel has.  Again do you blame JT for oil jobs lost in 2008?  2003?  1997?  Or is that somehow the actual markets fault?  Curious because resource boom/bust is quite cyclical and something you're failing to understand

 

3.  Where does Alberta derive its health transfer money from?  That money comes from every taxpaying canadian.

 

4.  He didn't kill anything.  Like how deluded can someone be to consistently claim that?  He couldn't force through that pipeline, the other guy tried and the courts slapped him and said no.  Facts over rhetoric.  Facts over emotion.  You can claim he did.  He killed.  He isn;t.  but it's not true.  Fact is, he has done more for Alberta in the last 5 years than the former government did in ten.  he has done more to secure pipelines then the previous government has, and now that the Alberta government is literally bleeding money from taxpayers while cutting everything and privatizing healthcare, he's stepped in to ensure there's money for education and healthcare.

 

Your mismanagement and misrepresentation of the facts is everything wrong with Alberta and the entire WEXIT movement.  almost every major financial issue in Alberta is literally the fault of Alberta.  Not Trudeau.  not the Liberals.  Not Notley....50 years and nothing to show for it but it's all the fault of one guy in less than 5 years?  Come on bud

1: it's up to the government to attract private business and would you invest money in Canada after seeing how JT has dropped the ball? His a joke and he made all of Canada a joke on the world stage. 

Also look at the states and what they did....JT could have started to attract other private businesses so making oil smaller wouldn't have hurt so much but JT didn't think that far ahead.....maybe if he dealt with those tiny house warriors and actually put the pipeline in then I would show him respect but thx god hopefully today is the last day of that clown.

 

2: JT killed oil before they flooded the market and what do you call a government that wouldn't  back a private project that went threw ever hoop? 

Those years are a lot different then when JT screwed up this time cause if he would have forced that pipeline which was approved, we would be shipping more at a lower price but hey better then getting nothing and seeing no jobs.....the money Canada could have made in the short term could have set up Canada to fund another industry or going green and we would have already created jobs but JT didn't think that far ahead. 

3: yes he did ha it's not my fault JT is a dumbass and didn't realize he was in an oil country.......lol

 

4: how am I miss understanding it? It's very simple.....if someone buys something and never delivers on it then yes I will say JT killed oil and JT didn't have  to waste federal money on buying a pipeline , if JT just had a backbone......

could you imagine if we took that money we spent on that pipeline and spent it on another industry we would be stronger but our leader is special and JT had to buy that pipeline cause of his own short comings so......

Just curious as to what other industry other than oil and farming, does AB have to offer?

 

The only thing JT can "grow" the economy for AB is to award Government contracts to the province.

 

AB is not coastal, so no ship building contracts.  Is there any good aeronautical industry?  But you would have to compete with BC, Halifax and Winnipeg. 

 

So really...what possible Government contacts can AB get?

TMX pipeline update: Expansion on schedule, budget, CEO says a year after construction restart

 

CALGARY -- A year after construction was allowed to restart on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, its chief executive says the project is on budget and on schedule for completion by the end of 2022.

The project is advancing as expected despite challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic, a global slump in demand for fuel, a $5.2-billion rise in its estimated cost to $12.6 billion in February and ongoing protests by opponents, said CEO Ian Anderson in an interview.

The expansion project is designed to triple the capacity of the existing pipeline between Edmonton and a shipping terminal in Burnaby, B.C., to about 890,000 barrels per day of products including diluted bitumen, lighter crudes and refined fuels such as gasoline.

“We've got some major elements of the project to still do, but they're all on track and there's no critical path items I'm worried about at this point,” said Anderson. “We're making great progress.”

they haven't stoped anything, its going full steam ahead if you've bothered to actually look. 

 

you keep whining about "private funds" but seem to forget that by buying it, the feds will ensure it happens. If its private funds why would any government not named Harper care what happens to it?

 

I think you're so deep into the Trudeau hate thing you can't see things clearly.

So the CEO of the project says things are on time and on budget, but you think he's lying?

Would your mind change if the CEO was on a video saying the project is on time and on budget?

Private funds had ZERO interest.

 

You should be aware before making claims on the contrary.

Nothing you've just claimed is remotely true at all.

 

Your timelines are wrong.

 

You don't seem to understand world market or product volatility.

 

You don't understand the global divestment of oilsands holding

 

You don't understand financial divestment of oilsands holdings

 

You don't understand why that's important to companies seeking financing for development

 

Just a bunch of lying and victim noises while blaming one guy who had really zero actual blame in any of what you state.

 

Pathetic.
