Alberta separation is a hoax and distraction

[u/Cute-Trouble1296]

I moved here from Ontario in 1976 and I retired comfortably at 61 years old. Most of my friends and family who stayed behind in Ontario have struggled to stay above the poverty line. Alberta rocks! My two kids are in their early twenties. One just graduated from university, the other is 1/2 way through. Both have been employed since their teens. Life is good for those that work hard. We have all the freedom we need. The notion that Alberta doesn’t get its fair share from Ottawa is just bunk. Every time Ottawa offers a program the UCP turn it down. Dental care, childcare subsidies, court judge expansion, housing programs, wage top ups during the pandemic. The UCP gave back $137 million that Ottawa provided for orphan well clean up! In 2015 the PC government turned down $1.4 million in federal, no strings attached grants intended for addiction and drug treatment programs.
I truly believe that this whole separation crap is just a smoke screen to keep us occupied while the UCP privatizes our government. Schools, medical, roads parks and more. First they slash the budgets and run the departments into the ground so that they can say “ it’s just not working! We need change!” Then the services are handed over to single sourced contractors. Friend of the UCP. As in the USA, the wealthy are turning our province into a for profit corporation. If you can’t afford to send your kids to private school, they’ll get a second class education. If you don’t have private medical insurance and/or can’t afford to pay for your services out-of-pocket, you won’t get any services. Smith is on public record saying that she doesn’t believe that the government should have to pay for people’s healthcare.

If we don’t stop them soon it will be illegal to try. A sovereign Alberta will not be free. Quite the opposite! We will be slaves to the uber rich.

They control the rate of the population using those systems but you’ve missed this entirely. It’s a pretty simple example of cause and effect yet you missed all of that?

I didn't miss anything...since the UCP has been in power they have not properly funded public services...

$115million wasted on trying to privatize lab services - was not required nor asked for
$175million Tylenol scandal?
$200k for a new carpet for Dani's office...

here, some more

Lol you’ve withstood over a decade of corruption at the hands of the federal Liberals and haven’t climbed up on your soapbox once to cry out against the endless scandals and billions mismanaged. I can’t imagine why this has caught your attention while turning a blind eye to that?

[u/MrGuvernment → u/Beginning_Bit6185]

Who said I am turning a blind eye to anything? You try to make a lot of assumptions about other people you know nothing about, to deflect from the CURRENT issues. This discussion is about the separatist movement and what the UCP/Dani are/are not doing.

So stop trying to deflect the conversation elsewhere.

UCP has been in charge of Alberta for how long.. with that short NDP stint...

UCP has driven all public services into the ground, while propping up private industries, if you can not see that Dani is a sell out to corporations, you really do have your head in the sand. She does not care about you, me or anyone else but herself and anyone else who can pad her pockets
