RowdyCanuck Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 2 minutes ago, RUPERTKBD said: Just curious about the plan for what comes after Alberta cedes from Canada....specifically the pipeline: Do you continue shipping your oil through a foreign owned pipeline, or do you make us an offer we can't refuse? I could see the Canadian government using it a leverage in any "negotiations", in regards to the mechanism by which Wexit is carried out. Might be tough to wring any concessions out of JT with that hanging over your head..... BTW: The FT St. John area might be interested in joining your new country, but the rest of us aren't. Even those of us who don't live in the LM. Actually What I would do is try to make a trade agreement with the states cause it would give Canada the middle finger and if Alberta can ship to Oakhoma where they have a pipeline that ships to the coast already......Since a lot of the oil industry is owned by people from the states.....I think it would be a easier sell and for sure. Also grain companies already pay to ship their grain and cattle so that doesn't really change anything. That's why I say from a business stand point Alberta could pull this off but I want Manitoba and s.k to join lol power house baby lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also isn't true. As a percentage of gdp oil was more to the Canadian economy under Chretien than it was Harper. No doubt oil companies give back I have posted those things repeatedly over the years. Also Harper used Alberta to further ensure prosperity for Ontario and Quebec. 1 minute ago, inane said: hahahaha ok you just want to hold it hostage to your demands and if you don't get your way you want to break up.

Warhippy Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 1 hour ago, Jimmy McGill said: but that cool war room, thats well worth it Oh wait. It gets better A report by the Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) revealed earlier this week that oil and gas companies are withholding $173 million in property taxes. That number is up 114% from last year’s $81 million in unpaid taxes. The rural communities charged with collecting these taxes do not have the capacity to enforce these non-payments. They had hoped that the provincial government would step in to help them. Instead, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney jumped to the defense of the oil and gas corporations. Kenney noted that the energy sector was going through a downturn, suggesting that municipalities can’t expect to “wring money from a stone.” This comes after Kenney introduced a massive $4.5 billion tax break for corporations and cutting the municipal taxes paid by shallow gas producers by 35%. Former MLA David Swann and the Alberta Liabilities Disclosure Project (ALDP) called on the Kenney government to take action against oil and gas tax avoidance. Swann also announced his intention to stop paying provinicial taxes in protest of this double standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is going to lose his house, the government will seize it and sell it for back taxes. But nobody is going to sell off the oil wells that haven't paid tax. Always easier to mess with the average guy than a multi national company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
