Jagmeet got bought off..

[sumdumguy]

Just think of the power Jaggy has! He couldn’t get the power on his own so he weaselled his way into the most powerful position in the country.

Wonder why CPC didn't step up to the plate? Or better yet all of them try to work together instead of just calling down everything and everyone else.

What common ground would they have? They want to destroy the country and the other side doesnt. Whats the middle ground there? lets just destroy it half way.

Ideologically opposite should never inhabit the same country.

Hopefully April 9th is a watershed day in AB and we get someone ready to fight.

[HITTGrapevine]

Liberals and ndp in coalition until 2025.

A few predictable outcomes from this

Obvious one is more public spending and higher taxes
Another is rising cost of living and more govt-induced inflation

Expect some big government spending announcements in the coming weeks from Pancho and Lefty

I guess if the govt can purchase 400m doses of a vaccine that doesn’t work, it might as well pay for everyone to be pretty too.

What’s next? Free heroine and crack?

Just speculating but likely free meth as well. Cause all the meth heads can soon get free dental . Of course 99 percent of the local meth heads here already get free dental.
But maybe I'll just start doing it now and blow all my savings on it that will have the same effect of what the soon to happen tax grabs will but at the same time numbing the next 3 years until 2025.

Well maybe having more than 3 teeth in your mouth, might be good for people .
And Inspire them to bigger things. Like a job and a life. Could really be cheaper in the long run. You know.

I guess it is a little harder to feel superior , if poor folks have decent teeth too.
But that is just another drawback of socialism .

[furrowtickler]

The problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other peoples money .
Working and living off the government creates zero wealth ….. ever .

Have a look around today in Canada … unfolding in front of our eyes .

If oil and potash were not severely overpriced this country would be a banana republic by now

Yes and no Furrow, I agree things have to
Be paid for somehow.
You could use universal Healthcare.
Medicare as an example .
Cost analysis of the US system and Canadas system . The Canadian system per person cost runs 60% the cost per person
That the US system does.
The US Federal govt on a per person basis already spends 85 % of what Canada does, then add all the private insurance premiums on top.
Another area , the US has the largest incarceration level in the world.
You do not do that without a cost.
A huge one.
Again helping people out with education, mental health, drug addiction, and maybe even there dental health might be the cheapest route in the long run.
It is not clear cut , I know
But keeping your population healthy and helping some out in tough times.
Is likey more cost effective than not doing it.
Farmers have been in the same boat from time to time ,
And I am sure my Ag invest more than covers my dental bills.

Tend to have a classical conservative bias on these such issues. Just my fiscal conservative side gets in the way. Sometimes though a stitch in time saves 9. A healthy educated population tends to not make as many bad decisions but opportunity for upward mobility and a sense of accomplishment must be maintained as well. This is the crux.

I would hear all my life the bellyaching about natives getting their education paid for. Out of all funding for natives this is probably the best dollar spent. The better anyone is educated the less likely they are in poverty or do bad things.

[blackpowder]

We haven't seen nothing yet regardless of their stripe. These days they can bury a $2B+ gun buyback program in the loose change fund and no one bats an eye.
Hardly one Canadian cares where any of it comes from anymore.
