We are in the works of replacing a government. So yes we are again getting our house in order.

You post kinda of insinuated it, I was waiting for this post....just trying having a little fun with you.

And when the citizens make the choice of rising up against the oppresion in their society they will again be able to pursue a better living standard. The individuals themselves will have to make the decision to do this, society won't do it for them. They thought they were entitled to what the rich farmers had in Zim, drop them out userped their lands and now, because of their sense of entitlement they don't even have the food to feed themselves in zim any more. (before they drove out the farm owners zim was able to produce enough food stuffs to feed the country)

No shit since the bottom has dropped out of the natural gas market. With ability to extract natural gas from shale has drastically increased the supply, which has driven down the price. That means the royalties that were earned have dropped drastically. That is where the 14 billion dollar error of the last provincial budget came from.

Sorry you example doesn't work. You don't elect you boss as your representation in the world of private enterprise.

Self determination is what what decides success. You could live on a gold mine but if you did not have the ability to choose to dig you would have nothing.

Conventional drilling is much easier. But why do you people always forget the potash, uranium, natural gas, coal and other resources. The tar sands in Alberta were not easy to exploit it took nearly 70 year to get it to a point were it was economically viable to exploit them. Alberta's economy is actually more focus on natural gas then oil, but so few seem to realize this.

But it is my tax money.

Oh you believe society allows me to do well? That isn't societies choice it is mine. What I am grateful for is those who have fought and died for me to have that self determination.

I don't get to vote for those who spend the equalization funds provided by my taxes and neither does the representative I elect. I can't vote for a representative to rid us of this abysmal experiment as it is entrenched in the constitution and it is all but impossible to change.

And yet Saskatchewan has more resources then alberta and is much less developed hmmmm. And has only just become a have province,hmmmm.

It is a fact, just one you happen not to agree with.

The man who is responsible for the 1982 Constitution was a National Socialist fool. Even a red tory understood that the constitution as written by that fool had major flaws, and was unable to change due to the formula for amendments. It has made it almost impossible to change. Just wait future governments will not be trying to change, provincial governments will break it, because of that fools lack of foresight.

your darn right its my opinion. Or do you think the government should take away that too.

So you are entitled to your entitlements. No wonder you support the liberal party. And no they aren't entitled, they should have some damn gratitude for the gift they receive.

Your province should be able to provide for your province. [quote name='Smallc' date='15 March 2010 - 01:13 AM' timestamp='1268635522' post='520362' I find it rather good that you don't get to decide what happens in my province. It isn't up to you. You do get to vote in federal politics, and since that's who distributes the money, it couldn't be farther from the truth to say taxation without representation. Your province is spending federal tax dollars in a manner I don't approve of since I am a contributor to those dollars I should get a say. Or your government should get the money.

So it doesn't mean you are entitled to a penny of it. Are you entitled to your neighbours wealth because they make more then you?

No one is taking that choice from you, however you should be responsible for your choices. So if you live in an area that cannot give you the standard of living you want it is not societies responsibility to provide it. So that gives you a choice stay or leave to find something better. Its not the money its the principle, I can't vote on how my tax money is spent in have not provinces and in most cases it is wasted. It amounts to a form of taxation without representation.

You are confusing the pc government with the people. Why do you think the WAP has had such an upswing? They have become a credible small c conservative choice. the Pc's have lost any semblance of conservatism and are now acting in a knee jerk reaction to try to get it back.

.

Universal health care is still in the parties policies.

vote out the duds, i will be casting my ballot against the PC's again this election and it looks like we may have a good chance at a new government.

As you become more experienced in life you will find that it is never about what you want but more so what is in your best interest. Why should Canadians subsidize you to live were you want? You should be going to where you can support yourself. My ancestors didn't come to canada because they wanted to leave there homes, they came because it was in their best interest to start new lives with the chance that it would be better existence with more opportunities.

I live in a province full of them.

Propose to who? are you part of the renew alberta movement and the Alberta party?
