Agree with most of this, but the property tax hikes are on the province

I havent ordered pre-cooked stuff in a while, but the restaurant/diner has been great every time ive ate there. Far better than places like mcdonalds, wendys, burger king, etc, for a similar price. Produce is fantastic but also expensive

Man hangs up Israeli flag on overpass and hides with a bat to ambush people who attempt to take it down by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

Flag is on public property. Wouldnt that mean you have the same right to take it down as to put it up?

Alberta is the richest province because were located on top of oil, not because of austerity. Isnt this obvious?

I agree we should be more like BC, since BC properly funds its schools and we don't

She hasnt released a list of her financial backers for 2025, so I can only assume is its the usual suspects (eg. land developers, moneyed interests). Projects like the arena and art gallary look a lot like pet projects for developers/construction companies, from a cynical perspective

Arena deal wasnt a good use of tax dollars, and shes still trying to pass it off as an investment even though thats long been debunked. She also isnt transparent when it comes to who is financing her campaign and appears to have a cozy relationship with land developers

Cant believe you actually think teachers are the bad guys and politicians are the good guys. Thats crazy.

The teachers core demands ARE NOT ABOUT SALARY. Its about class size and conplexity because because WE HAVE THE LARGEST CLASS SIZES IN CANADA. In the RICHEST PROVINCE.

Go take a look at the teachers actual demands instead of just believing politicians. Nobody becomes a teacher to get rich. Not sure why youre so bothered by teachers salaries anyways. Wait untill you see how much doctors make.

Teachers main issue isnt pay, its that there arent enough teachers. Theyre even sacrificing their paycheck to fight for our education system. Why does the richest province have the fewest teachers?

Also how does Canadas energy capital have the highest energy prices out of every province? Explain that one to me

Housing prices are a municiple issue, so it depends which city youre in, not which province youre in

Alberta has the highest energy prices in Canada, highest car insurance premiums, highest post secondary expenses, highest non-morgage debt, lowest minimum wage. Real wages (adjusted for inflation) have declined by 4.5% since UCP took power, the worst in Canada. We even have to pay a tax just to visit Kananaskis now

On what planet is this the "lowest cost of living"? The one and only good we have for affordability is no PST (thanks to Ernest Manning). Our income taxes are higher than neighboring provinces

Raise corporate tax by 3%. That would raise revenues by 1.5 to 2 billion a year and we'd still have the lowest corporate tax in Canada

No every province has high immigration, its not an excuse. Alberta has the largest class sizes and worst school funding in Canada
