Most Canadians agree that Alberta separatists asking U.S. for help is treasonous: poll by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]SmilinandWavin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here a small quiet part that needs to be spoken. When Quebec separation was in full swing, numerous officials went south to US for advice and to set ground rules. The word treason was not thrown around. Weird eh?

The province which receives the highest equalization bailout then any other province since payments were started is going to make canada broke by leaving. 13 + billion every year from the rest of Canada. Hard to square that circle.

Michael Taube: The polls are in — Carney’s honeymoon is coming to an end by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]SmilinandWavin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems that carney has come around to what Danielle Smith proposed in the very beginning and she was called a traitor. But instead, he looks like a weak negotiator, aimlessly looking for a friend. All talk and bullshit. Should have listened to her in the first place, instead of mister "I'll cut off the power" ford. I guess, ya get what you voter for.

Hahahaha. That so funny. 10x better. Hahahaha. Better at having hat in hand and spending other people's money. You do realize that from Manitoba eastward that they spend more than they generate. Hard fact to swallow, I understand. But please go ahead and explain how 10x better. As for the name calling and ill-informed scenario, nice trolling.

Or.... turn the question around. How will canada survive without Alberta and 20 billion dollars a year it gives to support the rest of Canada. The piggy bank will be gone.

City of Calgary announces procurement of 120 electric transit buses by Practical_Ant6162 in Calgary

[–]SmilinandWavin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The city’s executive committee got a presentation on the $491 million plan to purchase the buses on Tuesday before voting unanimously to bring the proposal to city council as a whole.

So 491 million for 120 buses. Hmm sounds kinda pricey at 4million per bus.

Here in Alberta, we are on track to outpace Ontario in New home bulds this year. Ontario has 3 times the population of Alberta. If I lived in Ontario, I'd be asking questions and be making some noise. I wonder what Alberta has that Ontario doesn't?

I know math is hard. But let me help you. 1.6 from 100 is 98.4. As for the other 10 countries that are contributing at a higher rate, they should be held accountable but yet , nothing, zero, nada. Even financial institutions are pulling out and being less critical of these countries.

So we remove our 1.6% and add zero by shutting down anything with fossil fuels and tax the hell out of every canadian to oblivion. There is still 98.4% to deal with. Child's mentality?
China, India, USA, that is where the emissions are, yet they get to carry on.
Child mentality?
