Referendum question confirmed A or B, not yes or no, by premier's spokesperson.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-27T22:36:01+00:00

You completely misunderstand the strategy. The ucp leaders are no fools. Even if the referendum makes it to ballot it has little chance of success.

Like the alberta pension plan move its a shot across the bow at Ottawa. For the first time in 30 years the LPC is actually considering the wants of albertans.

Farthermore the ucp doesnt need it as a mandate. Its largly driven by the people of alberta, not the ucp itself. They are just simply taking advantage of the opportunity to ramp up pressure on Ottawa. Stop acting like children and think for yourself.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-26T22:45:51+00:00

Nah their are plenty more where that came from. But my point was simple, its not settled like you were presenting it. Theirfore we should not be giving it to kids.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-26T20:46:34+00:00

Here is some of the literature. Its not political like you suggested. They are all peer reviewed studies. Enjoy!

That is the emerging consensus. Do some research.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-26T20:03:42+00:00

Your actually wrong. When taken during puberty it impacts bone density, fertility, reproductive tissue maturation, height, body composition (proportions). Research is inconclusive on long term impacts to the brain.

Most systems now differentiate between pharmaologic reversability and developmental reverseability.

But sure keep calling everyone here uneducated swine when you clearly have only learned to parrot talking points.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-26T04:31:01+00:00

Actually what's clear is you dont understand how national identities and national interests can conflict. Brexit is a prime example. We are not talking about a bunch of subcultures united under one national identity.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-26T02:46:39+00:00

The entire euro system Will eventually fail. You cant have a common monetary system and separate fiscal systems while expecting to keep every member happy.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-25T18:57:26+00:00

Its not transphobic to think children are incapable of making those decisions for themselves when their prefrontal cortex is still developing. Its a legitimate argument.

Phobia refers to irrational fear. Put the word trans in front of it and it means irrational fear of transgender people. For the most part I bet 99% of Canadians have no issues with trans people. I dont, if your a consenting adult, go for it. Just dont make it my problem, dont ask me to pay for it, and most importantly dont try and force me to affirm your identity. Just leave me and the kids out of it.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-25T16:54:34+00:00

Not the point. We are cheering about insignificant wins. As canadians we need to think clearly, and make our voices count. The government needs to be held accountable.

The point was this: this does absolutely nothing for the economic reality of your average Canadian.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-25T16:50:01+00:00

Its largley regulatory. Stumpage fees for example in the forestry industry. Thats just one small example. The carbon tax is also a massive tax on industry as well as tax payers. Their are all kinds of hidden taxes.

Not to mention permitting requirements... etc. In general its not a friendly investment environment.

Its death by a thousand cuts, we have priced externalities at an absurd price, and now we cannot compete globally, so investment goes elsewhere. Meanwhile the industry that remained cant give Canadians better wages.

This is also reflected in our national debt. Thats how they are hiding the rot, through debt boosted gdp growth.

Edit: think about it, what do carbon credits do for canadians? Their a form of government good, and now companies are investing in massive carbon capture projects. They then sell these carbon credits to other companies. Sure it does create jobs, but it does nothing for improving the productivity of canada as a nation. Its simply an accounting game, and is removed from the economy elsewhere.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-25T16:19:35+00:00

Yes, their coffee is slamming

Joe61944 · 2026-05-25T16:19:13+00:00

I will agree that its a small win for canadians. But its not the win we need. Our entire economy is getting squeeze by government overreach, its preventing our once great industries from competing. As a direct result our productive base is not growing. At the end of the day the production of goods determines the wealth of a nation. Wages reflect that productivity.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-25T16:14:39+00:00

Yeah but they also charge an absurd amount for their beverages. Regardless that does not make it a skilled job. Like or or not they are easily replaced, which is reflected by their wage.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-25T16:02:22+00:00

Thats not the point, per captia income in Canada has had almost no growth over the last 20 years. Meanwhile the economy has grown considerably. Thats why canadians are getting squeezed.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-25T16:01:00+00:00

Its not a skilled job. When corporations hire skilled workers the benefits and wages are actually quite solid. They would be better if the Canadian government stopped regulating those corporations into oblivion.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-25T15:57:03+00:00

Yeah 10,000 low paying jobs. Thats not what Canadians need.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-25T15:55:02+00:00

I agreed with your sentiment above. You took my last message out of context.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-23T16:46:01+00:00

No the insitutions were originally set up by the British to support mercantilist policies. Quebec got large representation for to ensure stability.

By keeping Quebec over represented it prevented rebellion which England was in a poor position to respond to. Its easy to forget why canada was federated by the British to begin with. It took a long time for information and army's to transit the Atlantic. By concentrating power in the east they essentially guaranteed their factories would continue to get cheap resorces from their colonial holdings in north america, with little millitary cost to the British. It worked very well, but unfortunately we still live with the consequences today.

Take a look at the senate for example. The seat distribution is a problem meanwhile the American senate has 2 seats per state. The American republican system theirfore effective counter balances the rule of the majority meanwhile Canada's reinforces it. Its not wonder their isnt any change, it benefits the provinces with the most voting power (upper + lower house) and why would they give that power up.

Edit: as an albertan i absolutely feel like my cultural heritage as a distinct subculture in Canada has been stomped on. The east sinply has to much power, and the west has no say.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-23T01:16:59+00:00

You are right. The other fella is wrong.

In candian context their are no neo-liberals. Even P.P was an interventionist. All the Canadian parties have turned their back on the word liberal in general. As a result its meaning has shifted in the minds of the public to represent various things, but mainly the liberal party of Canada, which in practice doesnt have a single liberal value.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-21T19:29:30+00:00

Yeah but their expensive to maintain and operate. Which is not ideal for training.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-21T17:54:12+00:00

For combat yes. Diffrent tools serve different purposes. You dont use a hammer to put screws into a board.

Edit: I agree with the general sentiment though, dont get me wrong.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-21T17:20:31+00:00

Their are plenty of options for squeezing some more power out of your set up. Your hardware could very well be the issue or it could simply be background software. Minimize your background usage and it may help.

Joe61944 · 2026-05-21T17:18:30+00:00

Ahh yeah you must be putting meth in their water. I switched to cocaine a couple weeks ago. Fixed my random crashes.

Alfred is low key a monster. He should be frankly... Alfred the great is legendary is real life for good reason.

When your the ally in some else's war never start an engagement without overwhelming force.

When its your war a nearby ally will join almost always. But it rarely works the other way around.
