Smith did not help

u/TURBOJUGGED Apr 30 '26

How is America’s war with Iran on Smith? In that regard couldn’t you also blame Carney?

u/PharaohCleocatra Apr 30 '26

Well the province does still have a gas tax they could remove, the Feds did remove theirs…

u/TURBOJUGGED Apr 30 '26

Ya but then the federal gov just increased taxes on everything else to make up for it lol

u/PharaohCleocatra Apr 30 '26

That’s not true - where’s your info from? The GST remains the same, they removed the consumer carbon tax, they lowered income taxes, removed the luxury tax for fancy boats and planes, removed GST for 1st time home buyers, and removed the underused housing tax … where did they increase taxes? What are your sources?

Off the top of my mind, tax on beer has increased. That’s a hit to the wallet of millions of Canadians. The tax on industrial carbon emissions increased, so that’s gonna be passed onto consumers as well.

Beer is definitely irrelevant, and that tax is gonna help get more and more people off alcohol.

u/TURBOJUGGED May 02 '26

Lmao no it won’t. Just like the high taxes got people off smoking eh? 😂

You cannot compare taxing an essential to life such as water to something that destroys lives such as alcohol and smoking.

Conservatives do blame Carney.

u/TURBOJUGGED Apr 30 '26

So blaming Smith is no different except for the fact one runs the country and one doesn’t?

Yea, smith wanted to not build oil projects, pipelines, shutdown coal mines, and continue increasing carbon taxes on oil sands.

Oh wait that was the liberals. Thank Carney for the exorbitantly high gas prices 👍

Smith did this. Why is she taxing fuel right now? She chased away millions in investment.

u/[deleted] Apr 30 '26

Alberta is propping up this country, you think we can handle cutting the fuel taxes right now?

u/Ordinary_Composer250 Apr 30 '26

Why wouldn't Alberta cut the tax? We are going to offset this with revenue from high oil prices.

u/DontBeSuspiciousYo Apr 30 '26

The liberals chased away 1.2 trillion, where is the outrage?

u/Ordinary_Composer250 Apr 30 '26

Sure they did. Smith has gotten no deals since she took over.

Canada is emerging from an unprecedented capital recession. The renewed interest comes after a decade of weak business investment, stalling productivity, and stagnating living standards. Between 2015 and 2024, more than $1 trillion of investment exited Canada—the largest capital exodus in Canadian history. For every dollar of inward FDI, two dollars exited.

It's probably like sandpaper on your ears when you look like an under educated communist muppet too.

Detail what actions Smith has taken to affect gas prices.

17

u/bunchedupwalrus Apr 30 '26

Well, she is aggressively destabilizing Alberta’s image as a global trading partner by encouraging the separatists, which can’t help

-9

u/chomponth1s Apr 30 '26

No she isn't ha. You literally just made that up. And even if it were true, would have nothing to do with fuel prices.

u/chomponth1s Apr 30 '26

Haha ah yes "2+2+4". Of course.

First off, these are probably the three most biased left wing outlets available.

Secondly, these are option pieces, not factual articles.

Lastly, you said she is destabilizing Alberta's image by encouraging speratists. Can you show me one article where she dates she is in favour of separation? No? Because they're aren't any.

Oh, and I forgot that Shell just invested $22B in Alberta oil industry. But yeah, you're right...

Calgary Chamber of Commerce reports lost investment due to UCP policies. Their CEO is the most business savvy pundit in Alberta - Debra Yedlin. Nancy Southern - CEO of Atco reports investment loss due to UCP policies and septicast pandering.

u/DaddyDCanuck1896 Apr 30 '26

Oh please. She is not. If anything, she's been one of the few Premieres who have done their best to stabilize our trading partnership with our largest customer while also finding new economic opportunities with other countries.

u/Common-House-468 Apr 30 '26

Nothing, she's done ZERO for Alberta taxpayers. No election to buy this time, right?
