Many westerners have looked down upon French Canadians or Newfoundlander with the same disdain.

Not to mention all the complaining on this site about city people generally.

So don't cry us a river about how Alberta is looked down upon.

With the 2 new mayors nothing good will happen in Alberta.

I am not crying you a river, I am stating a fact. Premier Legault has said there will be no pipeline for Alberta’s dirty oil. Therefore there shouldn’t be a pipeline for our dirty money from Ottawa to Quebec! And do I believe there is a large difference in outlook between myself and many people in the larger cities? Absolutely! But I am thankful every day when I walk across my yard that I don’t live in the city!

Already did in post 69.

So why not use your own words and respond to the issue of equalization?

Do you disagree with what Trevor Tombe said in his opinion piece? And if so why?

again ; my own words; did you not see the answer i gave you??
Well let’s see Chuck ?
ONE province collects every year since inception ?? To the tune of 51% or $221B
No , can’t be anything going on there ?? Really ?
FMG , no wonder you swallow so much shit ,
what do you think , in your words , of one province getting 51% of total equalization dollars ever paid, even though they only have 24% of pop of canada, and have the lowest cost of living in canada??? again in your own words please

With a quick google I found that since 1964 Alberta has payed over $600 billion more to the federal government than we have received back in transfer payments!! Wow! Quebec has done considerably better!

Hmmm, no response, why do yo suppose that is?!

Sorry Hamloc, did not read your post until today. Unlike many it seems that frequent this forum, I do not spend every waking moment on Agriville. I have a life outside this forum and actually am still able to talk to people in my community instead of some posters who I expect have been excommunicated due to their continual conspiracy theory harping and agriville is the only audience they have left. I check in occasionally to make sure the world is not coming to an end and that the whiners and complainers are still actively proclaiming it is happening. The day these people say all is right with the world is the day I will start to worry.

Now to your question - but before I answer, what difference does it make where I live? If I identified as a US grain farmer, or a Quebec dairyman, or a PEI potato grower, or a Nova Scotia christmas tree grower would that make my opinion worth less than if I am a prairie broad acre grain producer? Why is it so important to you for you be able to pidgeon hole me?

I have posted before that I am a Canadian and a farmer. I have also posted before that I am a very private person. I do not brag about my farm business, nor complain about losses I have suffered due to weather or other factors over which I have no control. I do not give a running update about what I do on my farm on a daily basis, because in reality who the hell actually cares. If I wanted that information I could drop by the local coffee shop or hockey to hear the braggards tell how much richer/better/hardworking they are especially considered to non farmers/or eastern Canadians. I comment if a question is asked about which I have experience or knowledge. Mostly , I hate BS and will call it out on this forum when I see it and know for certain it is BS.

Now you can insinuate anything you want about why I did not answer your question (which as I said I did not see) if my desire for privacy does not suffice. Here, let me help you out with some more conspiracy theories: maybe I am a government official spying on farmers, maybe a company I am also part of does not allow its employees to participate on social media platforms, maybe I am an elected official who does not want to be associated with the conspirators on Agriville, maybe I have a very sensitive public position which would be impacted by my participation on this forum, maybe I am just embarrassed of the ignorance/obnoxiousness/racism/bigoted/prejudice exhibited by many posts and do not want to be identified in any way to these views or those expressing them.

I do not give a damn where you or any other poster lives or who they are and could care less that you feel I should identify myself in any way on this forum. I will continue to come here for the occasional marketing commentary that is provided by some very intelligent and knowledgeable people even if it means having to put up with the rest of the garbage on this site.

And when did you last contribute to a thread about marketing?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Yet again you make this claim, even after denying that you made this claim in the past. Yet you have never called out the BS coming from Chuck on a constant basis. Such as the proven fake news he was spreading about Ivermectin poisonings.

I didn't know BS was partisan.

Actually for me where a person lives gives context to their response in my opinion. Your word salad answer really said very little. I think each area of the country has its own unique challenges created by weather, geography and government policy.

You have some balls calling warnings about invermectin as a treatment for covid as fake news.

Poison control centres in Canada and the US reported an increase number of calls about self administered ivermectin.

Health authorities in both countries sent out warnings about using ivermectin to treat or prevent covid.

As usual you defend the antivaxers and ivermectin pushers. Do you really want to be on their side? Or have you received the vaccines?

And you still haven't acknowledged that you were
Duped into passing off fake news even though the media sources you copied from had long since acknowledged, apologize and retracted that obvious misinformation.

And may I add, what a perfect example of noble cause corruption this post was.
So even though you were caught lying you justify it, and continue to do the same thing without apology, because you think the cause is that important.
This is the exact same thing that is going on in the global warming community. So you have had very adept role models to learn from. They justify any data fudging, outright lies, exaggerations and falsifications because they believe that their cause is so Noble.
After perfecting it in climate change, we see it being used in the covid debates just as unabashedly As you just demonstrated for us.
