Alberta has tabled legislation that will give it sweeping powers over municipalities

[AlbertaFarmer5]

What happens when a counsellor has severe dementia and nobody in that area wants the job? I really think the province needs to stay out of municipal politics but once in a while someone with clout needs to step in.

Or if a president has dementia, or if a prime minister and most of his cabinet have selective dementia.

Possibly she sees a future with woke left cities dominating politics in Canada.

May be too late?

Winnipeg, Regina, Redmonton?

The LPC sees it too. Divide and conquer.

How much more Federal Government control can we take?

[chuckChuck]

Smith is complaining about all the federal government's over reach into provincial jurisdiction and now she wants to do the same to municipalities in Alberta? Huh?

The irony runs deep and deeper as Smith and the UCP want to exert more political control and take away the powers of municipalities. With not just this bill, but the red tape and hoops she wants the municipalities to jump through if they receive federal funding.

She must wake up every morning and think who's left to pick a fight with and who can I piss off so I don't have to fix real provincial problems like healthcare, education and the environmental liability and clean up needed in the oil patch.

For me the response is fairly simple. I don’t agree with Justin Trudeau dictating to municipalities on how they regulate house building to receive federal money and I don’t agree will Bill 20, each level of government needs to stay in their own area of jurisdiction. As for Chuck2, does nothing happen in Saskatchewan? Or would you like to live in Alberta? All you do is attack Alberta politicians.

Maybe chuck didnt hear the part of Trudeau coming into Edmonton and Calgary and bribing officials with tax payer debt under the condition those cities rezone every inch to accommodate 4 plexes everywhere.

Like would you want a 4 plex full of students living beside you. Good on her for fast tracking some legislation to keep the feds in their own lane.

Sad but true …

So where would you like to live that doesn't have taxes Furrow? Right wing La La land perhaps?

But you are happy to keep receiving farm subsidies from the same taxes? And you don't mind driving on public roads paid for taxes? And sending your kids to schools paid for by taxes? And using public health care paid for by taxes?

So where is this dumb downed utopian libertarian fantasy land where people live and prosper with no taxes?

Bahamas, Bahrain, Bermuda, Brunei, Cayman Islands, Kuwait, Maldives, Monaco, Nauru, Oman, Qatar, St. Kitts and Nevis, Somalia, UAE, Vanuatu, Western Sahara.
A bunch of places with high resource revenue, or high tourist revenue, and a couple with no functional governments.

Huge amount of tax collected in canada gets wasted and squandered on stupid useless projects

What are you waiting for A5? Why are you still farming in Canada when you could be living in one of those libertarian low tax no tax paradises!

[cropgrower]

have you cc ever relocated yourself and family half way round the world ? its not a simple move that you just do some morning , so don't be talking more garbage

[chuckChuck]

Or maybe its not as bad living in Canada as some make it out to be?

Why did you come here Crop, if its so bad?

The libertarian chronic complainers will probably never be happy anywhere!

Especially if you live in Alberta, the richest province with no sales tax. Life is so hard there! Cue the violins.....

You asked a question. I answered your question.

The point is very excessive tax’s , and tax payers money being completely wasted with zero accountability. This country could easily run on half the tax load if government spending was not totally out of control
But go ahead and carry on with you overly exaggerating on every post . Your painting yourself farther and farther into your own little corner
