How are you rewarding the people who supply what you need? Your potatoes will not build a factory, refinery, powerplant or anything else you depend on.

They do but because there are more of them, Albertan's as a group contribute more per capita to federal coffers than other Canadians. On average, about $4K more than Alberta receives in federal spending in return.

Everyone pays taxes according to what they earn and consume. Albertans pay more because they earn more. The feds and the rest of Canada benefit from that.

Of course you need to count something. How many potatoes do you need to get that truck and gas? How do those people produce that truck and gas, by growing it in their back yard?

Regardless of what you think of Floyd, cops don't get to be executioners.

The feds do not collect royalties but they do collect taxes from the companies and all the highly paid Albertans working in those industries and supporting them. The feds will also collect the revenues generated by the pipeline.

Maybe you should look him up instead of continuing to be ignorant. You obviously don't want to know, let alone talk about it.

Maybe you should look the guy up.

Maybe you should look the guy up.

How are the things you need going to be made and get to you? What are you going to offer in return?

I've never said they were the same. You really don't think your wife would shield your children if they were threatened with a firearm?

The sexes are different, thank god. I just don't believe in male superiority.

Sounds to me like that is your problem, not a woman's. There is no difference in many occupations, particularly those not requiring brute strength. I've known women who have left abusive marriages with nothing, just to get out. Your victim costume doesn't become you.

I swear these are the same id-iot anti vax demonstrators you see hanging of freeway overpasses on sunny weekends. Terrible waste of a good John Deere.

So you are physically stronger. So what? Just because you see a woman as an equal doesn't mean you can't behave like a gentleman. If you are expected to pay, that would make them superior would it not? Equality is about equal opportunity. My former occupation was almost entirely male but more and more women have joined the profession in the past few decades and they do a fine job. Because there were more obstacle put in their way, they had to work harder.

Certainly not me but as a 20 year vet who has worked everything from surveillance, patrol, bicycle squad, ERT, drug squad and is now a Sgt. in charge of an investigation team, it does make him a bit of an expert. He doesn't like cops who make other cops look bad and neither do I.

My son is a cop, he says what Chauvin did was totally over the top. That procedure is only meant to be used for a very short period, not nine minutes. Chauvin also had a history of excessive force.

Must be really frustrating for someone like you who loves Putin and wants Ukraine to disappear. The US may be supporting them but it is Ukrainians who are doing the fighting. Those swine have the temerity to fight for their own country. Who do they think they are?

Who do you think will provide you with what you need? Maybe they don't want chickens. What about all the manufactured things you use? Money and credit are what makes our society possible.

My own feeling is that is OK between friends who know there is no insult intended. Otherwise, not so much.

Argentina has just done a Bolsanaro on steroids. That worked out well.?

Considering my own misspent youth I hesitate to be critical of others but wouldn't dare to do things I used to today.

Why should equality between the sexes be a war? Women should know their place godammit.
