Ah Alberta How the NDP will Destroy you like Saskatchewan in the 30s

[grassfarmer]

What the hundreds of thousands that are entrepreneurs that get on with it and make a living regardless of who the Government is?
Aren't we the kind of people you need in Alberta instead of the kind that sit around and complain that the Government isn't doing what they want ….like socialists?

That is interesting reading your posts I have always felt your politics were quite left of centre. I can also assure you there is not a socialist bone in my body. As I have said before the conservatives in Alberta screwed up but the NDP is a move in the wrong direction imo.

As I recall grassy you spent a lot of time during the federal election complaining about the Harper government. One of your biggest complaints was how they had a majority with less than 40% of popular support. Funny how Trudeau had almost identical support in his win but no complaints from you now.

You really are having a hard time excepting that Harper lost and is gone, and that the NDP are in charge of Alberta.

Every post is nothing but complaining over and over again. Give it a rest both governments just got in, and were both left with a huge mess by your Conservatives.

Truckers..... thank the railway executives for the lack of vision to see an opportunity.

And they sell that nonsense to shareholders.

Forage I pride myself in being consistent and I am thankful most posters on Agriville share my outlook.

The 20% in corporate tax should have happened along time ago....a lot of money left this province that should have been in province coffers...and none of the corps would have left.
Spoke to a former Con MLA, the majority of MLAs wanted to raise it back in Redford's day, but she wouldn't let them...democracy at it's best.
It is really sad when attacks are because of partisan politics and not on the merit of the action.

Perfecho I need to clear one thing up, I am not now nor have I been a supporter of the provincial conservatives for many years. What I am is a believer in is governments running balanced budgets and being fiscally responsible. The provincial conservatives have failed on this front for many years. Alberta needs a stable revenue stream that causes the least economic interference, I believe that is a sales tax. The present list of implemented and proposed taxes in Alberta fail on two fronts in my opinion, first the budget is not close to balancing and second in my opinion they will do far more damage to the economy than a sales tax would while generating less revenue. Forage I am sorry if that sounds to you like complaining, I think Alberta is a great place to live and I want my kids to enjoy the same quality of life I have.

Grass the NDP destroyed sask. When Devine got in he had baggage and it cost him plus like I said years of civil servants bred in government they were finished before they started.
But then the old guard came back in power and people started to wake up. Realizing these guys and their games would continue.
Then by the time Brad came along a change was taking place.
Good economy and people started coming back.
But funny after you guys elected NDP our union guys and gals and NDP supporters moved to help her run Alberta.
Like I said our rats all now are running your province.

I would agree on sales tax...but would leave corp where it is at.
Corp taxes have come down considerably in the last 50 years, put much of the burden on middle income......

You are entitled to your opinion but you are not entitled to rewrite history.
From Wikipedia. "Although Grant Devine himself was never implicated in any criminal wrongdoing, 13 out of 55 Conservative MLAs and staffers were subsequently charged with expense account fraud committed during Devine's second term, 1986–1991. Of these a handful were acquitted while some served prison time."

Yea a NDP got them good. Hook line and zinger.
But for some 40 years they destroyed us. They will destroy Alberta maybe listen and learn they are dangerous.
History will show you.
