$400 for every man woman and child in Alberta

It just goes to show we need more money into transfer payments. It's not like Albertans deserve that money anymore than a Manitoban. It's CANADIAN land, therefore Canadian oil.

The Canadian Constitution (i.e. the Supreme Law of our nation) disagrees...it's Albertan oil.

Your logic would similarly support a contention that it's Mother Earth's land and therfore the oil belongs to every person on the planet. It's not like Canadians deserve to be wealthy any more than an African.

It's an interesting philosophical debate, but completely invalid for the purposes of this thread.

FTA.

I find it very dishearting here in Alberta when we have such a large surplus that we have to pay health premiums and high ones at that. Over half of the $400 we are going to get is just going back to Health care. That is also where my gst checks go to back to health care it's too expensive to pay for! I don't see why when we have billions in surplus here in Alberta we can't have free health care for all Albertans especialy when our population is less then that of in the east. The greedy conservatives know they can leech more money from us out of health care that is why they'll never change it and poor people like myself get to suffer.

Alright, Africa? We have enough poverty problems at home to take care of first. Have you ever been to a Native reserve? It took me three days of asking around on Enoch to find a single school. The policing is less than terrible, everyone is vulnerable to basically anything bad that can happen. I don't think we should be involving ourselves with other countries until our own problems at home are solved.

Nextly, I am a pipefitter who is heavily over taxed by the provincial goverment. My ex-girlfreinds sister is using a the money to buy her self a dress, she works at Moxy's. I just bought my ex-girlfreind's sister a new dress.
