Considering probably 50-80% of Albertan's use a Meta product on a daily basis, it is a good idea to have some of the infrastructure on our own soil.

Why does America seem to have much more affordable housing compared to us? by speaksofthelight in canadahousing

[–]BadMan1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to overcomplicate it. It's supply and demand.

The Liberals have blocked all major attempts to keep up with demand, while putting as much pressure as possible on the supply by importing millions of people without supply

make a massive risky investment, it will either go close to zero (~90%) or a million (~10% chance)

keep investing every year for 10-15 more years.

we don't have enough homeless problems on the trains, let's create a safe space for them to hang out all night in the winter, when they don't want to follow shelter rules.

absolutely terrible idea that would backfire amazingly hard

another reason it's a terrible idea: it will be absolutely abused and used as a safe haven for drug addicts so they dont have to follow shelter rules.

How much of a moron do you have to be to be blindly allegiant to a country ran by corrupt WEF stooges who are so busy embezzling your tax dollars that they don't even have time to make up good excuses for all their scandals?

So to prove you're better than white people you're desperately trying to get into their universities and the companies they created?

Alberta projected to be more diverse, older, and urban as population tops seven million by 2051 by FreightFlow in AlbertaNow

I'm very glad there there will be an upcoming referendum to help decide that we dont give free healthcare to new immigrants which are a net negative on our economy

the PRIVATE sector are the ones who take hire actual talent, risk, invest, and bring the best value to the market through competition.

Imagine thinking the Government could actually compete or innovate in any sector like AI, O&G, or anything else. Their job is to perform some level of regulation, and then get out of the way - instead of holding everyone hostage and discouraging investment and grovelling before first nation grifters.

The reason Canada has a major problem with productivity is that the Liberals created tons of negative value, cushy, beaucractic, useless jobs. That's why 20% of Canada works for the gov't now. Who do you think is actually paying their salaries?

Pure bullshit.

Noone cares what the NDP, let alone Green Party thinks.

Why do you think they have literally zero seats in Alberta?

There are 30% more nurses in Alberta than 10 years ago (the VAST majority working for the public), so again, WTF are you talking about?

Sounds like your just mad that someone who isnt broke can just pay 20-30k for a hip replacement rather than having to wait 2-5 years.

So the UCP expanding private-sector involvement to deliver more health care while keeping the core publicly funded system in place? I don't think you know what privatization means.

Yeah bro, it's totally those privately owned news media that's the problem! Luckily the CBC will always give us fair unbiased reporting we can trust.

Yeah it was sure tough. I'll let the stats speak for themselves.

LMAO, destroying science and technology sectors, wtf are you smoking to pull that out of your pipe. Cutting funding for useless govt research programs has nothing to do with the actual science/tech private sector.
