The ghost and the darkness

Sakatchewan and Alberta need to join forces.

We are a common people.

We need to stop capital outflows.

We need capital inflows.

We are about/are going to hemmorage.

The political leaders who follow this site,and I know for a fact they do,need to raise the flag now,nothing less then a call to arms.

Unless you want to look like Greece.

I agree cotton but at present there is an ideological divide imo between the two provinces Premiers. There has been a few issues where I see agreement such as the energy east pipeline and the need for more renewable energy but on the attitude toward taxes and business they are miles apart. Premier Wall appears to be very pro business and on holding the line on taxes. Premier Notley on the other hand wants to tax business out of existence,

Was at the bill 6 rally in Bassano yesterday, have never been so concerned for the future of my province as I am today after looking into the beady unthinking eyes of what we now face here.

Sf3 can crow and feel happy that we are going to suffer here under this ndp govt but rural knew better we are stuck with the accidental govt we have for now god help us.

[blackjack]

Got the same feeling mcfarms from the Red Deer rally.Our new ag minister...whoa

[Oliver88]

Can you guys elaborate on the Alberta Ag minister?
Does he represent unions, his fellow NDP colleagues or the farmers best?

[mcfarms]

Yes yes and no

[mcfarms]

He's not our ag minister he's the ndp ag minister he made that very clear.

[Hamloc]

There is no doubt their main interest is imposing NDP ideology on all Albertans not just farmers. I see no willingness to listen.

[mcfarms]

Cotton sorry dont mean to turn youre thread into a bill 6 rant, just understand that amazingly after being one of the birthplaces of socialism in Canada with the CCF you now stand almost alone as a bastion of sanity in a "lets hurry up and see what Greece is like" mentality the obvious answer is those that do not create the wealth spend most of their timing scheming on how to wrest it from those that do.

[foragefarmer]

Cotton are you suggesting they separate from the rest of Canada?

[dfarms11]

I'm not certain what is worse. The gross amount of money the ndp is gonna cost us albertan's or how foolish/ ignorant/ plain old stupid they have made themselves and all of us look with bill 6.

[blackpowder]

We, and that cow Smith, and that doorknob Prentice, split the right in two and the urban wage earner vote went where its heart is. We have the govt we deserve. And that the 'majority' voted for. Hide your ammo, your cash, and keep your common sense dry!
Every bio I read has union connections.

[bgmb]

can MB come too?

[perfecho]

Is reasonable taxing not "minimizing capital outflow"?

[Hamloc]

The present political climate created by the NDP through increased government spending. increased taxation of industry and the general populace, with the promise of more to come as well as bungled handling of new legislation will undoubtably create a capital outflow. As for western separation, the political gulf between western and eastern Canada was very obvious in the last election.
