cybercoma Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 I wonder which of those NDP governments had the benefit of hefty transfer payments to their coffers?You know the transfer payment system has nothing to do with what a province spends nor what they set their tax rate at, right? Quote
ironstone Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 You know the transfer payment system has nothing to do with what a province spends nor what they set their tax rate at, right? And please tell us why some provinces need transfer payments in the first place?Do you think the 8-9 billion a year that Quebec receives has no bearing on what they spend or set their tax rate at? Are you kidding? Quote "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it." Thomas Sowell
cybercoma Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 If you're asking me to explain the transfer payment system to you in a brief message board post it's not going to happen, but I will point you in the right direction to learn for yourself. Here are all of the different transfer payments that are made from the federal government to the provinces: http://www.fin.gc.ca/access/fedprov-eng.asp This link provides and explanation of the "equalization" program, which is usually what people like you are talking about when they say "transfers." http://www.fin.gc.ca/fedprov/eqp-eng.asp You can find more information on the equalization program right on this website, if you were so inclined. http://www.mapleleafweb.com/features/equalization-program-canada-overview-and-contemporary-issues All of the answers to your questions are in those links.

PrimeNumber Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 http://www.edmontonjournal.com/Alberta+government+posts+surplus+more+than+billion/11179147/story.html Looks as though the Alberta government has a surplus of $1 Billion. Quote “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find your way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”― Bruce Lee

Liars figure and figures lie. Not budget allocated either.......royalties are down......see in 8 months. Every incoming gov't pumps the numbers to ease everyone who thinks business is packing in or deflates them to say "see how they left us" we'll save you. Quote

cybercoma Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 You and I see this differently,what can I say. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_payments_in_Canada Then you need to read your own link. Equalization payments are based on a formula that calculates the difference between the per capita revenue yield that a particular province would obtain using average tax rates and the national average per capita revenue yield at average tax rates. The current formula considers five major revenue sources (see below). The objective of the program is to ensure that all provinces have access to per capita revenues equal to the potential average of all ten provinces. The formula is based solely on revenues and does not consider the cost of providing services or the expenditure need of the provinces. So, like I said, a provinces tax rate and its expenditures have little to do with their equalization payments. Quote
Derek 2.0 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 The Alberta NDP appointed a former convicted, violent, criminal to the position of Chief of Staff for the Minister of Status of Women and the Environment?

waldo Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 The Alberta NDP appointed a former convicted, violent, criminal to the position of Chief of Staff for the Minister of Status of Women and the Environment? A formerly violent convicted criminal has been given a major role in the department that is in charge of Women's emergency shelters across the Province of Alberta......... a 94 conviction; 18 years old at the time... related to an assault at a high-school party... wasn't against a woman... but more pointedly, a pardon was granted in 2005. Pardon's aren't just handed out 'willy-nilly', are they? Lost in your translation is any reference to just how EzRant got a hold of supposedly sealed records... that doesn't concern you at all? But some 20 years after the fact, you're more than willing to press your partisan self forward on something, as I interpret, the party hasn't even commented on yet. Oh wait, do you work for Ezrant's new venture, "The Rebel"? Quote

WWWTT Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 Pardon's aren't just handed out 'willy-nilly', are they? You have to have so many years of clean record after your last conviction.

Derek 2.0 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 a 94 conviction; 18 years old at the time... related to an assault at a high-school party... wasn't against a woman... An assault in which several men beat another to the ground, then proceeded to lay the boots to him....... but more pointedly, a pardon was granted in 2005. Pardon's aren't just handed out 'willy-nilly', are they? Queen's pardons no, but record suspensions, with a violent offence, one just needs to wait out the time limit (10 years for violent, no sexual convictions) after prison and send in their fees.......and not have been convicted of a crime over the same period............ Lost in your translation is any reference to just how EzRant got a hold of supposedly sealed records... that doesn't concern you at all? But some 20 years after the fact, you're more than willing to press your partisan self forward on something, as I interpret, the party hasn't even commented on yet. Oh wait, do you work for Ezrant's new venture, "The Rebel"? I have no idea, I would assume either a clerical error, or he has a Source on the inside, much like other journalists that obtain "leaked documents"..........and no, I don't work for "the Rebel"...... Just a concerned citizen over the judgement of the NDP, they are all one big happy party, and how it would hire a former convicted violent criminal to work in a senior role in Government.........

waldo Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 It seems to keep the Tories quite busy these days. 20 years after the fact; after receiving a pardon... we have the hyper-partisan 2.0 guy desperately scouring for mud! Apparently, a 40-year old must forever be measured by a conviction received as an 18-year old. And, once again, as I'm aware... the party has not provided a response to the hiring circumstance. Perhaps they didn't know and will choose (be pressured) to pile-on and send the guy packing! Quote

Keepitsimple Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 Haven't seen too much debate on the substance of the thread. I can't see Albertans being pleased with 10 of 12 out-of-province Chief of Staffs! I mean, how weird is that? Could be wrong, but I doubt there is a precedent. It just seems so wrong, doesn't it?

WWWTT Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 the NDP hires criminals after the fact.......very sad indeed Nope sorry but you don't know what a criminal is. A criminal is someone with a record. A pardon seals that record, and NOBODY can find a criminal record when a criminal search is done on someone whom has a pardon. Our system forgives people for past mistakes. George W Bush and Dick Cheney both have DUI's. Did they have pardons through the American justice system? Are you just as shocked?
