Election call within 2 weeks...he has thrown 5 billion at Muskrat falls. A billion combined to Dofasco and Algoma...pretty much covers some easy votes.

Won't there be lots more more special intrest groups and minority groups?
He has it figured that 5% or2% here and there puts you over the line.
Lots can be pissed against the wall yet.
He expanded the debt ceiling and has more borrower money to spend with zero economic benefit yet.

If farmers got 10 billion in western Canada...I would vote liberal...there it's said.

Conservative MPs are doing sweet phuck all...nothing...

And they are partly responsible for where we are with unresponsive programs.

That's only $3800 per kid under 18. Jesus Christ. I'm not much of a separatist, but shit like this make me wonder.

I liked being a Canadian....it will soon be a foot note in history hopefully...

This confederation isn't working for western Canada anymore.

When Elections Canada makes mail-in voting easier that will add more votes.

So interestingly enough the Quebec gov has put in
About 40% of the cost to this program. The feds
Will contribute about 60%. The money can be used
By the province without limitations in other words
How they please.
So…………….I d say you have a smart group in Quebec
Whether you agree with it or not.

Why wouldn’t our province be smart enough to request
The same???? And how could they turn it down?
They couldn’t.
They’re likely laughing how dumb we are here. But not
For the reasons our conservatives have brainwashed
Us all into thinking.

And all we do is complain that they’re getting
This money. No different than rhe transfer payments.
If a province demonstrates a need they collect, our idiots
Out here want to buy votes or I should say steal our votes
By whining and complains about the money going
Rather than doing what’s required to get the money because
That’s the only plan to get our votes.

We re being politically used.

I m not at all saying there aren’t issues where we get
Screwed because there is but this main one is
A con job by our own representatives.

Big Wheel one unfortunate truth, whether it is the 60% from the feds or 40% from the province there is still only one taxpayer, and either we are paying or our kids and grand kids will be paying.

The other reality is that in Alberta as an example in 2018 the federal government collected $10600(looking at a graph so not exact) in federal tax revenue per capita. That same year Alberta received $7200 in federal transfers. That compares to Quebec who payed $7300 dollars in federal taxes and collected $8700 in federal transfers. So certainly Alberta and Saskatchewan should be looking at getting their federal tax revenue back, Quebec certainly gets more than their fair share.

Hamloc, Albertans pay more federal tax because their incomes are higher per capita. They pay the same federal tax rate as every other Canadian.

Alberta has more unused capacity to tax per capita than other provinces. But they choose not to.

Alberta likes to have low provincial taxes and likes to collect low resource revenues in a gift to the resource sector. Its the Conservative way.

When Stelmach tried to raise royalties he backtracked because the pigs started squealing.

Alberta is like the coddled rich kid who complains he is being mistreated by his parents because they don't give him enough allowance.

So stop crying wolf about how bad you are being treated. Alberta is the richest province per capita and has a lot of unused fiscal capacity to tax more.
