That entire statement is contradictory. Why would a hard working young person pay for their older and less productive stranger. That’s called legal theft. Just keep it up, the more Canada squeeze the Albertan the faster you all become 51st. Quote

I know you don't like posting references. And I usually enjoy your posts regardless. But this whole thread is based on a data stain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_provinces_and_territories_by_gross_domestic_product There are four provinces/ territories below Quebec in GDP per capita including Manitoba. There are two above Alberta Intelligent people tend to verify their facts, So I know you are capable. Just now, Michael Hardner said: I know you don't like posting references.

Alberta would burn quebec to the ground and steal it's poutine AND lunch money if it could 😂😂😂😂 They do NOT get along. Quebec frequently has very nasty things to say about alberta. As to the GDP, while it's true that Albertans have a very high work ethic and are very prosperous, the fact is that's not the whole picture. The big difference is in age. People in Alberta tend to move out of alberta when they retire. They usully go to bc, in fact until very recently bc was the only province that had more people coming FROM alberta than TO alberta. Retirees don't want to live with 20 below weather and snow, and they move to vancouver island or the lower mainland for various reasons. That makes alberta's population very 'young'. The average age in alberta is about 38. the average age in quebec is more like 45. That means a LOT more of alberta's people are of working age. If you have more of the population working, then you obviously are going to have more GDP per capita even if everyone is earning the same amount individually. That's the problem with looking at things like GDP per capita between provinces Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

THEY HAVE OIL! So by your reckoning, do the Saudis work harder than Albertans? (Hint:They have more oil.) And where does a large percentage of Alberta's workers come from? (Hint: Other provinces) And where will those workers retire to? (Hint: Other provinces) 1 1 Quote
John Johnston Posted March 4 Report Posted March 4 You get up every morning From your 'larm clock's warning Take the 8:15 into the city There's a whistle up above And people pushin', people shovin' And the girls who try to look pretty And if your train's on time You can get to work by nine And start your slaving job to get your pay If you ever get annoyed Look at me I'm self-employed I love to work at nothing all day And I'll be..

Generally speaking they have an extremely high work ethic Quote THEY HAVE OIL! So what? Not everybody works in the oil patch Quote So by your reckoning, do the Saudis work harder than Albertans? (Hint:They have more oil.) They have a gdp per capita of about 35 k. Much lower than canada. So no. I don't think you realize how math works Quote And where does a large percentage of Alberta's workers come from? (Hint: Other provinces) And when they move to alberta they're albertans. And that IS an issue, many of the hardest working people in other provinces want to go where they'll be rewarded for hard work, and they head to alberta. Leaving less productive people behind. Sooo... there you go Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."
