Bizarre Albera Legislation

[ColevilleH2S]

I apologize, I know this has been discussed on here already. But Shaney has ?published? a good audio interview with an Alberta lawyer concerning Bill 36. It sounds like Stalmach wants to set himself up as Stalin-Lite.

Darn topic title. Where did the "t" go in Alberta?

The provincial government must have "extinguished" it. Sigh.

That link above is not working so go to
RealAgriculture.com and check look for the story on
the right hand side or search, "land stewardship act"

This story is explosive. I don't blame people for being
pissed.

H2S... something Tommy Douglas didn`t quite get to in your province!!!

[Burbert]

BIZARRE Alberta, is exactly right. Weird strange, controlling, enforcing, law and order, get tough with, raise the penalties, force the issue, yer with us or agin us, embrace the tar sands, all emergency doctors are mental and burned out, OUR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY, more trucks less trains, the poor and homeless should git a damn job and vote Progressive. Yeah shoot, shovel and shut up. We'll change things by 2015. Lottsa money to be made in Ft McMoney!!!
Yup yup yup Albertie is open fer business.

[stubblejumper]

only in Alberta would you form a new conservative party because you were pissed off at the old one

[TOM4CWB]

Stubble,

How soon you forget..

The Sask Party, replaces the PC's.

The Reform Party becomes the Conservatives and replaces the Federal PC Party.

It would be a surprise if this didn't happen.

[parsley]

No matter where they live, or if they've had a bigset in the past, conservatives who can no longer balance a budget, or refuse to fund a study on 'Ingrown Hooves on Dwarf Cariboo' become meritricous cryptorchids; and it's time to find a real conservative. Pars

[cropduster]

FYI Stubble...Our last three governments were reincarnations of Conservatism....We didn`t take the Douglas turn and get LEFTOUT as John Gormely writes.

[grassfarmer]

So what do you think of Bill 36 TOM4CWB (or Bill 19 or 50 for that matter?) I'm all ears.

[TOM4CWB]

Grassy,

I get the feeling you are on a knole... and I am the target...

No one ever promised life would be fair... except the CWB!

[mustardman]

Parsley I have to take you up on this one "conservatives who can no longer balance a budget"
YOU MEAN there has EVER BEEN A Conservative Gov't that could????

The OXYMORON of being a Conservative is you do everything in a Big way. You Talk fiscal responsibility but your ACTIONS are just the opposite.

[parsley]

mussy,

About 'talking fiscal responsibility'

I am not satisied with the dilution and blending of conservatism that produces IOU's. Not happy at all.

Danny Williams tried. Maggie T. tried. etc. Not perfect, not bad! The overall effect of free markets though, works.

Click on food aid charts below, I thought you'd find them interesting, mussy, listing the World Aid Donors and Receivers:

http://www.tableausoftware.com/public/gallery/world-aid

And note it says:

"Most interesting to me is the large discrepancy amongst aid donor countries in the amount of aid given and the % of GNI that aid represents: the US is first in amount, but last in % of GNI."

Tightwads? (GNI is Gross National Income)

Bullonley.
Hey mussy, what it says to me is that it is ONLY the G8 type countries who actually provide and donate aid!

How much aid does China or Africa or Russia or Mauritius or Iran or Cuba or Peru GIVE to the earthquaked or flooded or tsunamied or Montreal's ice stormed?

None you say?

Why?

So, should "giftees" be bashed for giving, no matter the size of the gift?

Beggars' criticism of the the hand that feeds them, a free-market-way hand I might add, is not legitimate nor makes me want to donate!

Would you agree, mussy, that anyone who complains...incl aid organizations, the UN, other countries, or charities, should not get a cent if they complain?

And would you also agree that perhaps they should look at what G8's do 'right'?

Conservatives aim to create wealth, save money, create more. Conservatives invest gains as opposed to tax them. Not perfect, I agree, but the alternative is to be a recipient instead of a donor. I sense you are better at the latter. Pars.

[TOM4CWB]

Mustard,

You DO NOT CUT it at all with the statement that NO Conservative gov. ever balanced a budget.

KING RALPH did. AND KING RALPH set up Honest Eddie Et El to have the $17B in the rainy day fund... that is covering the money Alberta is actually spending...NOT BORROWING... to maintain services in Alberta.

MUSTARDMAN You need to apologize for your unfair and defamatory attack.!.
