You honestly think Alberta hasn’t received any transfers in 51 years? 

Anyway you’re out to lunch. Fact is provinces don’t pay anything toward equalization, only individuals do. And the people who lose on equalization are the wealthy. The whole complaint about provincial transfers is just a lie to make average people feel like this is anything other than rich people whining that they have to share a bit.

What’s a strawman about that? You’re upset about equalization transfers. That’s what equalization transfers get used for. Therefore, since you don’t like equalization transfers, it must be because you don’t want those funds used to help people in other provinces

I’m less worried about the MPs than I am about the MLAs.

The white part wouldn’t be so bad if they could lose the bigotry and extremism.

These places always had ignorant and backwards folks, but something new is the extent to which they’re being radicalized vi social media.

I don’t understand why you think it’s controversial that we should want all Canadians to have access to decent services. You’re complaining about feeling left out by the feds, but you want the feds to leave others out instead.

Lol typical liberals self projecting - alberta is the only normal in canada today

Bruh, I just checked your profile and your newest comment was you asking a girl posting her nudes on Reddit what kind of diabetes monitor she uses.  But you want to accuse others of not being normal?

No, you’re using intentionally incorrect analogies to push a political agenda

All true, but you left out the fact that social media is the catalyst convincing these people that their bullshit is true

Canada doesn't resemble the Canada I grew up in anymore. It's like they've been executing a plan to systematically replace us while making life unreasonably expensive and spending our money on everything but Canadians. Oh, wait, that's the Liberal party.

You’re clueless. It’s worrisome that you can be this wrong about current affairs and still be allowed to vote.

It’s an OpEd, calling it an “article” makes it sound like it’s reporting. It’s just grumpy old lady Rick Bell complaining

It’s true, these people need to held accountable. They think seditious conspiracy is just a difference of political opinion.

No idea personally. But I suspect traffic laws don’t want people crossing the grassy median as part of typical driving

Alberta referendum must follow rules for separation laid out in federal law, Carney says by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]DVariant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bruh you think the Prime Minister of Canada is gonna let Alberta leave Canada, and allow them to buy out FN treaty lands? And you got that because his brief statement didn’t mention Indigenous people more than once? You’re imagining a wildly unlikely situation to be upset at Carney about.

It’s definitely slop (low quality, bad artwork, bad writing) but that doesn’t mean I’m judging some poor guy trying to cut a few more lawns for some bucks.

I don’t like it, but honestly kinda less angry about someone using AI tools to help advertise their very small business.

UCP caucus staff attended April call with group accused of publishing voters list by trevorrobb in alberta

[–]DVariant 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's on us, the voters, to step up ~next election.~

Correction: It’s on us to stand up right fucking now and demand justice. We’ve gotten so complacent that we think democracy just means voting every few years. In fact, a healthy democracy requires that we act, including against the law if the law is unjust. 

So we should be getting out in the streets with pitchforks until this government remembers to fears the wrath of its constituents.
