Two months in Costa Rica

[4GFarms]

Whoa whoa boys!!! He works 60 hour weeks when he is here!! Cut him some slack. That is 7am-7pm 5 days a week. He is over stressed and needs the holidays. Just lucky he is not asking for 12 weeks?
Seriously, politicians are a joke for working. How many days do they sit in the legislature? And dont tell me they dont have grunts to do their day to day crap! A couple PR appearances and then its vacation time. No wonder our country is headed into the shitter with all the free loading, help out my buddy, tax the hell out of everybody politicians! We need somebody to start making some hard decisions and straighten this country out.

Pallister is likely gone to hide from the twitter war that is dogging him for supporting the economy crushing carbon tax. He's lost support from many that voted for him over this.

Bipole 3 still going. Hydro is a mess. We have sky high provincial sales tax. Roads are screwed with no relief in sight.

It's not just Pallister. Our MLA , Cliff Cullen, is a floater like I have never seen. Total poser. Might as well be in Costa Rica too.

Unless things start to change, Pallister, Cullen, and friends will be on permanent vacation in 3 years, because they're going to get booted.

Braveheart, and replaced with what? NDP again or Liberals or a newly formed party called the "Manitoba Party", like Saskatchewan's Sask Party.... better hurry three years isn't much time to organize the movement. ...

[Braveheart]

Well that is the problem. I feel disenfranchised. There is no party that is fiscally conservative, yet socially liberal which seems to be where I am. There's a big vacuum for me.

My wife would leave me if I ever involved myself in politics, even local ones ( which are a disaster here), so I won't be leading any revolutions.

As far as a holiday, sure, the Premier can take a holiday. But, can his conscience? Last week homeless people froze to death on the mean streets of Winnipeg. Cruel irony to be a leader in a hot spot when the defenceless are dying from the cold.

Retired, where am i wrong? If alta. didn't have the strongest economy in canada, and lowest debt. then which prov. did? Some seem to forget the over 200 billion paid by alta. in transfer pmts. over a short 10 year period, not sure what the full total is over the decades. Which prov. had the strongest economy?

Sounds like a plan, he can skype to legislature. That's effective government. He won't have to sign the carbon tax papers unless you can sign by skype.

Welcome to 2016 friend... he can sign on his phone in this day and age.

Stonepicker Always about transfer payments,get off that kick,sure we paid but paid is the operative word,its gone . If you want to look back how about all the money we had and just squandered away,how well did the con plan, not at all You can dissagre but if the cons had half a mind we would be in a lot better financial shape. And that is all on them not this gov or future govs.

What Retired, so a dipshit notely or turdo could come along and give the money that was saved away?

[seabass]

We live in a society where u can't take anything away once we've had it. U didn't see Stalinger making tough decisions. Whatever the indians needed they got. Hydros broke cuse he stole everything out of the cookie jar. Had to pay to keep the deadbeats happy. Can't say no. Just the way it is now. Ain't Pallisters fault. CTV and CBC will have the leftwing agenda front and center when every twobit crybaby organization crys for money.

Actually Retired, there was a 17 billion dollar sustainability fund that was accumulated during Ralph Klein's tenure. The squandering of this fund began under Stelmach, continued under Redford and it was finally eliminated by the NDP's 2015-2016 budget. The heritage fund is still intact. Alberta has one of the most diversified economies in Canada. What I find amusing is that Premier Notley is going to close down our coal plants, some of the most efficient in the world and replace them with Chinese made solar panels and windmills and she calls this diversification. Retired explain to me how producing the same product a different and more expensive way is diversification? As for Manitoba's Premier, my guess he could more good for the province in a week than his former NDP one did in a year!
