Oh yeah, 3 to 5 years of deficits. These guys couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery. The bosses are still the same stale bunch, just the flag bearer is new. But they'll win a massive majority because, well, you know, this is Alberta.

[cottonpicken]

Thanks for the link. Taxes and deficits it is where have I seen that play book before.

God forbid anyone mentions a reduction in spending.

Maybe they shouldn't give away all that oil

I will admit that Prentice "seems" like he could do the job....but I just can't support a party with this track record.....

[wmoebis]

Does anyone know what royalties other oil producing nations get?
Maybe all of Canada needs to increase royalties. When ag industry needs more money they have no problem charging primary produce more.

[cottonpicken]

Maybe they need to start taxing all resource producers even farmers 15 percent to the state. Maybe if they tax oil high enough they can drive some companies into the ground lose taxes on those jobs and that oil production.

How he thinks he can hold the line on healthcare spending is laughable

[perfecho]

Would say we are among the lowest, Norway looks like70% of the profit,

Someone commented today that this was the foreply the ****ing will come later!!!!

[tweety]

We literally give out oil away. We could be norway, but no, poor oil companies will go broke.

What a crock of shit cotton. From obscene profits to really really excellent is the difference.

[cottonpicken]

Most socialists always throw the Norway example into a guys face when discussing this stuff,and always ignore the other examples.

How well would our state oil company have done in the lean times with profits spread across the nation?

You either believe in private enterprise or you dont.
