Yikes the NDP and Liberals are hated out west.

Remember Mitt Romney's comment something to the effect that 49% percent of voters wouldn't vote for him because they recieve some level of government support or income. Our modern western democracies only have one growth industry and that is government. Are we heading down the same path as the Roman Empire?

And all media bought and paid for is biased for libs/dems. Stuck with them forever or till society like Rome goes to hell. Need a reset.

Trouble is, that is quickly becoming the majority. Add up all civil servants, unemployed, unemployable, students, etc. And they could elect a majority without one working person voting for the NDP.

Not even close AF5. Even with 8% unemployment AB has 66% of the total population working. Many of the ones that aren't working of course are kids under voting age. Nothing close to being a "non-working" majority electing a Government.

So, can the two of you honesty say that neither of you have never received some sort of Canada Government program cheque in your mail box in the past?. GRIP AIDA, Agristability, WGSA, or do you belong to Agrivest, if so I guess you are both part of that 49%.

How quickly we forget.

Ahhh yes....there are makers and takers..... I would bet my farm that most producers make multitudes more than they take. I am grudgingly damn proud of my contribution to wealth creation for Canada. AND WE PAY TAX! AND LOTS TOO! more than some people earn....oh yeah, but I "deserve to pay my FAIR share"!

There is a whole Industry that relies on us. With more deadwood in it than anyone cares to admit. Subsidies!....too funny!

That is a good point, forage, is that most income in Canada is transferred by government rather than the product of innovation and hard work like 50 years ago. In addition to direct subsidies, most farmers are land speculators as well and they have had vast sums of wealth transferred to them by financial repression which is artificially low interest rates. Most, including myself, really have no clue what a market based economy looks like as we were not around in the 50's and 60's when Canada had one of those.
