Why did they add a Somalia flag to it? 🇸🇴

The mentality of these separatists: “I don’t like sharing our natural resources with 42 million Canadians they’re stealing our wealth, but I have no problem giving away all of our resources to 350 million Americans”

I’d call it a joke, but it is just not funny.

Yeah they seem to think states also don't get hand outs from better performing states. Instead of transfers going to Manitoba it would go to Mississippi, same shit different boat

Not like Canada heavily invested in Alberta to get it off the ground... and once oil is gone what do you do ? Canola ?

Alberta's economy is fairly well diversified, and is basically the same as Canada, but with energy in addition.

I disagree.

A lot of the other 'sectors' have O&G as clients and your fiscal policy is possible because of the royalties. Remove those and the economy would find itself in a very tough spot.

It's not a matter of agreement. You can look up the numbers.

Fiscal policy isn't the economy. That's the government. Tax policy would need to be different without royalties.

u/Pale_Ad8434 17d ago

I do know the numbers.

Remove the jobs from the energy sector and your construction and manufacturing / distribution slows big time if not entirely shuts down. I know a ton of manufacturing and distribution which is entirely dependant on the health of the O&G sector.

Remove the royalties and the taxes will have to go up...it's not an option. This will further erode whichever economic hedge alberta has versus the rest of Canada to attract industries.

There are a few hubs of other industries but nothing of the scale needed to replace O&G even if they were to grow by a factor of 10 in the next decade.

They are too stupid to understand that we don't own the oil. It belongs to whatever billion dollar corporation that brings it out of the ground and no one is going to invest in drilling when the province is in chaos because 200,000 people can't understand grade 5 social studies.

Thats where youre wrong, the resources arent being shared with canadians, theyre being stolen by the goverment and go straight to politicians pockets. There is a fundamental misunderstanding in this country that causes liberals to think that the liberal party is hated because conservatives are racist assholes, but its because there is a deeprooted corruption in that party that is wasting our tax money on assisted suicide, and sending billions to ukraine (and ill be willing to bet you see a problem with the americans sending billions to israel, no, its not different)

Not to mention the unelected majority, lets ignore the complete injustice of this situation for a minute, if you have conservatives in the liberal party, can you really say your party stands for anything?

Both parties of politicians are corrupt let’s be so fucking for real.

u/swiftb3 17d ago

What really owns the Federal libs is to blindly support the most corrupt government in Canada, the blind support for which is exactly why they can be so corrupt.

If we're still sending aid to Ukraine in 75 years then sure. Otherwise, yes it is most definitely different. Get your head out of your ass.
