I do care man, and I am all about this being one country. Which is why if you notice not once do i bring up how much money goes out of our province in transfer payments to the rest of the country. I am all for all of us being like we are here, debt free and prosperous. As far as a geographic lottery, there is plenty of oil in Sask, BC, and Newfoundland, but because of poor provincial governments their resources have not been tapped to the degree ours have.
I have simply responded to the issues of personal greed that you brought up. I am not saying that the government should give us all of our money back, and eliminate income tax. What I am saying is that SOME of that money should go back to the people of this country. The working man, the tradesman, the manfucaturing plant worker, the men and women who's blood sweat and tears is the foundation for this boom we are having country wide.
The best way to keep good economic conditions is to keep money in the hands of the working class, because if it's there, then through things such as the gst, and corperate taxes on places such as Wallmart, Sears, or HBC will put most of it back into the hands of the government anyway.
Yeah, I love how Alberta separatists make it sound like they got all their riches on their own, no help from Canada (especially Ontario, gawd forbid) in the past. Obviously Canada's just been one big bust for them...how could the rest of Canada be so blind? All along it was Alberta carrying the rest of us. Damn those liberals for making it sound like we were all in this together.
Before you try separating from Canada, try separating yourself from the crack...reality might be a little hard to take all on your lonesome.
Said like a ture Easterner. What comes across to me in your statements is the typical attitude that any part of Canada can not survive with out Toronto. It's attidues like yours that fuel the fire for Western Seperation.
Its not just the Liberals who are saying that we are all in this together, it's Albertans, Quebecers, and ALL CANADIANS. It amazes me that the Liberal party is seen as the party of unity. The conservative party, and the NDP, also like to focus on NATIONAL unity. The problem that I have is that Western Sepertation is a legitimate movement, and we out here are left to deal with it ourselves because we don't make up over 50 seats in Pariliament in this province. It is shamefull to accuse Alberta of an attitude of we did it all on our own. I will fully accept and propigate the fact that the initial development of the oil sands was done by crown corperations, due do so would be to deny the truth. But the simple fact is that over the years, the general attitude from Easterners is that we are a bunch of winers, screaming foul about an alienation that we ourselves caused. This is definately not the case. This all started when Trudeau imposed the NEP and sent the Albetra oil market into the toliet. The Liberal party started this, and unfortunately the only ones who even discuss the issue of Western Alienation is the conservative party. It is because of Quebec focused federalists that the West is left to fend for itself on this issue. It's a horrible thing to look upon us as winers who should shut our mouths, be greatfull for Ottawa, and keep the taps turned on...... While Quebec is treated as a favorite child in this issue, and anything they want they get. It's disgusting! And if Alberta seperates it will not be the fault of Western Federalists, but of Eastern ones who's eyes are to focused on Montreal to see anything else.
Alberta Separation is like your brother winning the lottery and then telling the rest of the family to go screw themselves.
Franchement Damien à part insulté les gens qu"elles sortes d'arguments est tu capable d'aporter???
Tien moi aussi je peux me contenté de t'insulté parce que je ne veux plus perde mon temps avec toi!
Trou du cul.
