The reason there is a wealth gap is because twats like you still think that the liberals are doing them a favor by taxing them into Oblivion. The liberal policies over the last 11 years mean the middle class shrinks in wealth but the wealthy class can still survive it and so the rest of us get left behind. The left wing preys on the middle and lower classes not the upper class or the 1% who already pay the largest percentage of the tax base. They know if they go after them that they'll leave and they can't afford that hit So if you want income equity to shrink again get rid of the liberals, get rid of stupid carbon taxes, get rid of paying for lesbian dance theory as a social program and let people earn and keep their money and the middle class will return and the equity gap will shrink

less than albertans think. Remember the feds don't get any money from that oil. The only money they get is from the income tax of the employees and the corporate tax. Alberta gets the royalties. Because of oil the average income is considerably higher in alberta so per capita they're valuable but they're a drop in the bucket compared to ontario for example. Most of the time bc still manages to send more actual dollars to ottawa than alberta did, tho that may have changed in the last few years. Here's 2023 Table 3: Net Federal Tax by Province or Territory and Tax Bracket (2023 tax year) - Canada.ca (remember to select "all" tax brackets) So Alberta is important, being the 4th largest money maker in net taxes for the feds, but it's not like confederation would collapse without it. It would sting tho. Well sure we could. And in fact that's what trade deficits are all about, or a country sometimes imports more than it exports. Our oil reserves have the benefit of stabilizing our dollar because we sell our oil and Canadian dollars. It has some other advantages as well, but not as much as you might think Sure. I think we all will look at that map and be sad about the fact that it didn't work out, but I agree with you that it's not working and if we're being honest it never has. It is always been for the benefit of Ontario and for Quebec and has done little if anything for the western provinces. There is no chance of Alberta joining America by the way 😁 Even an Alberta that is truly separate from Canada is really unlikely. It would probably have to be something along the lines of Quebec's vision of sovereignty association. Shy of an armed rebellion I just don't see ottawa giving up that land entirely But as the other provinces saw that happening and would want to move towards it I think you would get something you can to a western version of Canada

It wouldn't be the first time

Well that's the sad problem, our elections aren't rigged. They're just ignored when the people empowered don't like the decisions that the voters made

I agree, leftists ARE stupid, but the real problem is that they're also violent and mentally ill. While you're correct that they're stupid it's those other issues that make them dangerous

I happen to agree that people should have the right to decide whether they are to live or to die. I don't have a problem with that option being available But I have a problem with is when the government or the medical community pushes it as a solution. When it's a recommendation, not a request A number of our veterans were offered it instead of treatment when struggling with stress disorders It is frequently been mentioned that it has been brought up to people who are suffering significant illnesses which are treatable It's even becoming a cure for homelessness. People that can't afford to get into a care facility are being encouraged to consider this option That I have a problem with. The government should not be using this as a substitute for medical treatment or for providing services and they are

There is no such thing as an Epstein Client List, which is why you didn't provide a source

Is it the Mexican slave farmer that sells robo smith his zucchini!?!?! MAN what a plot twist that would be,,,,,

You mean democrats are stupid people because they constantly support rapists and child molesters and then try to pretend that the republican leader is ones and act furious republicans aren't buying it? You make a very good point, that is stupid

There is a lot to blame for sure, the problem is none of it had anything to do with harper

True, you binches won't even pay their way, you make them WALK all the way on their own and THEN turn them into slaves! All for discount zucchini!

Nope. The boomers did not walk on the moon or send anynoe there, Armstrong was born in 1930, so he was the silent generation. So were most if not all of the scientists and nasa team that designed and built the rocket. The silent generation went to the moon with slide rules. Millennials went there now. (with a little help from gen x) And it was Gen x who built those laptops and iphones. Of course the millennials are the ones doing it now for the most part. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Well, truth be told alberta isn't as much of the national revenue as it thinks But there's no doubt that the feds would feel it, they are a strong net producer. But while there would be adjustments if ONLY alberta left quebec and the maritimes would still be fine more or less. But. I don't believe for a moment that if alberta did go they'd be the only ones. Sask would follow shortly. And honestly i don't think bc would want to be out there with two provinces between them and the east, and with less voting power now that the other western provinces were gone. So i think bc would quite likely look at it as well. There have been a few times when bc actuallly polled higher for separation than alberta has, a fact often forgotten. BC wont' go on it's own, but if canada is broken up already why not stick with the west? I'm not sure about the territories, they may wait and see for a bit and then go with whomever looks more financially solid when the dust settles. And manitoba is a little hard to be sure about but i've spent a lot of time there, and in the end i think they'd rather be part of a western canada than an eastern, and have more of a say in the gov't. In the east they'd have no voice. So i think if alberta left what we'd see is they would shortly teach Carney a whole new version of 'floor crossing', eventually picking up all the western provinces and probably the yukon over a period of a few years. And it would honestly take that much to create a stable, solid country with long term viability. Oil won't be king forever, but when you look at all the resources and food production and water and minerals etc etc as well as the tech and movie and other fields if you had a united western country of some sort you'd be able to make a pretty good go of it.

that should be part of it, sure. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have pride in the achievements of the past either. we did a lot of incredible things. We can do even better in the future and not repeat the mistakes of the past. Both can be true at the same time

You'll need your equity card for that soon enough

While it may seem intuitive that if you have a thing you have it's opposite as well, that's not true. Just as you can have selfishness without empathy. About all you can say is that a person who has one should theoretically have the capacity for the other, but that doesn't mean they experience it. Both pride and shame require some trigger and some people just don't have the trigger for one or the other or both. If we define pride as being a sense of self worth derived from seeing the value of a personal or group achievement or social status then unfortunately there have been many times and examples in history where people had pride but no shame Which is unfortunate I agree with you completely, you're right when you say that trans people are just dragging us down. Honestly you phrased that very well.

That was the implicaiton. We want them to be shut down and crippled as much as possible as long as we can still squeeze the cash we need out of them. So we'll pass laws to make sure most of the oil stays in the ground and tax the rest so that there's nohting left

Did you mean an equity card? I hear you'll need that to get services soon too.

As Dion famously said, "we don't want to KILL the cash cow..."

Still haven't quite sobered up? Fair enough, have a cookie and a nap, you'll be fine. More like an economy on socialism. Which burns pretty fast. Then you'll blame harper LOL

No, there is no business case for this here. Japan has 123 million people in a country Less than half the size of British Columbia. So they have the population to make it make business sense Same with Europe. It makes sense. It does not make sense here. We do not have the business case, we do not have the population to support it, there is no indication it will ever be used anywhere even remote and if it does it'll be 40 years down the road. Which means we should be building at 30 years down the road Again, i haven't seen you present a single fact or figure, never mind an actual business case, to show why we will have a net benefit from this or a timeline. So far it's just been crying about how all the cool kids have one and you want one too but that is NOT A GOOD REASON.

And apparently one or two who are liberal supporters it would seem I guess some people just like to watch the world burn

Yes i don't what? Ohhh Sunday night. right , i guess you were still on 'weekend drinkie time'. Fair enough

Well it's nice to see you laughing but shouldn't you shave that mustache? In any case as noted there's no black repression any more and many groups were repressed and got over it. And the consensus is that mutilating children is wrong. Glad we agree on those points Good luck with that mustache!

It's true, blacks in the Caribbean and America were enslaved by blacks, not whites. The whites just owned them after they'd become slaves. And not just the asians and jews were treated badly but groups like the irish (esp in canada but even in the us ""No Irish Need Apply" (NINA) signs and advertisements were prevalent in 19th and early 20th-century US and British cities, symbolizing intense anti-Irish discrimination. While some historians once questioned the physical existence of such signs, research confirmed they appeared in newspaper ads, shop windows, and workplaces, especially in New York and Boston." It weren't just blacks who had it tough after slavery, lots of groups did. But they worked at it and as you say now they thrive.
