Bizarre Albera Legislation

[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:

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.

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.!.

[mustardman]

Sorry Tom I was thinking more of governments that Change thru elections not ones of Royalty where the lineage and entitlements are passed on for generations like Alberta

[grassfarmer]

I'm not on a knole TOM, not even on a knoll. You don't need a position of elevation to see the hypocrisy in your arguments. All the hundreds of hours you and your friends spend attacking the CWB for all the restrictions and wrongs it allegedly imposes on grain producers yet legislation that negatively affects every man,woman and child in this province doesn't concern you because your little buddies sitting in the Leg. in Edmonton back your campaign to overturn the CWB.
So you can spare us all the religious indignation about freedom, liberty and moral wrong doing as you are supporting the very same with your communist Conservative friends.

grassfarmer,

What can I do to help? Pars

Grassfarmer is upset when the Alberta government is trampling property rights in Bill 36, but it’s perfectly OK for the CWB to do the same thing.

You can’t even argue a that there is some pseudo public good to the CWB act, unless reducing wheat acres in western Canada is somehow good for the environment or something.

You should probably drop the hypocrisy argument, and just concentrate on the trampling property rights thing instead. More of us would be with you on that one.

[parsley]

He's supply management property rights dances

I'm organic property rights dances

You're biotech property rights can't dance

LOLOLOL

Do we have ANY commonality? Or do we decide to not even try?

[TOM4CWB]

FarmRanger,

I second that motion... well said... and much better that you said it!

Grassfarmer I am STILL waiting for Minister Morton and MLA Griffiths to deliver on a private property 'Bill of Rights'.

If this were legislation the PC's did implement... it would end all the confiscation and compensation problems with the Bills you legitimately despise.

Will MLA Doug and Minister Ted come through???

[TOM4CWB]

Grassfarmer,

Come to think of it...

If Alberta would pass such legislation...

And then;

If 7 of 10 provinces and 50 percent of the Canadian population past a property rights bill... in their provinces,

It could even end the CWB 'single desk' monopoly over my families farm!!!

YOu are getting me all excited Grassfarmer!!!

[grassfarmer]

TOM - why are you still waiting? this is Morton's bill of rights - it was passed last spring and is in place now.
If you think Morton and Co. are also covertly working on legislation that is the opposite of Bills 19, 36 and 50 while at the same time saying there is nothing wrong with the current bills you are further away with the fairies than I thought

[wilagro]

TOM4CWB: Too late...under Bill 36 the government of Alberta can now TAKE YOUR FARM and give NO COMPENSATION WHATSOEVER.

Your pals in the LEGISLATURE tricked you AGAIN....SOLD YOU OUT...and all the farmers of Alberta have NO inherent RIGHTS to their property anymore.

Your land title is now USELESS...what will the bankers say now?...sorry I can't loan you any money as the land title offers NO security. Watch for it.
