brad Wall upped our power rates, upped our insurance rates, upped our gas rates , upped our phone rates , so that the profits from crown corporations could be robbed to balance the budget. seniors and low income earners are paying a lot of tax.

Not just the present gov't but every gov't before them have treated the crowns as a extra source of money by forcing them to pay a dividend to the gov't. They then have to borrow money to conduct their business.As far back as I can remember the crowns are considered a cash source for the party in power.

The only Canadian government that I can remember building a surplus was Ralph Klein's. Let's be realistic if you compare the 5 billion per year of extra government spending to the gdp of Alberta it is about 1.5%, do you really think this will bring us out of recession? It just creates debt that we pay for every year with interest. Give me one example of Keynesian economics bringing prosperity!

Although Ralph left with a deficit...and used the Heritage savings to bankroll expenditures.
Most farms have grown with debt..and some years deficits, in light of better ahead.
Gov deficits seem to be wishful thinking...

One difference most farm mortgages have an interest and principal repayment schedule. Do you think Ontario will repay it's 300 billion dollar debt or the federal government's over 600 billion? Never happen, interest payments suck up tax dollars instead of going to program funding. One example, all the money collected from gst is equivalent to the interest on our national debt, what a waste!

Cotton, post your opinion. Always interesting but elaborate man elaborate. Don't assume everyone knows what you're trying to say or thinks like you. THEN, tell us what you're doing in preparation...

There is a famous picture,well maybe not so famous picture of a man refusing to salute hitler in the middle of thousands of his country men giving the one arm salute.

The whole country had become a collective dark force.

And not a single one of them new it who through up the salute.

I think it happens from time to time throught humanity for what ever reason.

And I bet not a single person here would say yes i would salute. And they believe that in the bottom of their hearts they would have been that one man in the sea of thousands not supporting humanities dark force.

Evil doesn't know its evil.
