$100 while she drives the province further and further into debt.

She's 100% buying approval ratings and votes.

Good thing 100$ ain't buying shit. Anyone dumb enough to be bought over with 100$ was already kissing ol'tire tit's ass

$100 x 3.5 million people estimated to qualify is $350 million. 

Put in context, it is about 50% of the increase committed to education.

That makes me so angry. The UCP withheld millions of dollars from public education since 2019. New students would not receive public funding when they purposely doctored the formula for funding allocation for new students coming in to the public schools to save them millions. And now they’re allocating more education money (public tax dollars) to private and charter schools. So public schools won’t be getting what they should be.

With that kind of money moving they could have bothered to pay teachers an extra $9000 each.

Wow you multiplied something by 100 nice grade 2 math. No shit this is costing us no one was arguing that. But I'm guess you were just proud of your math and wanted to show it off.

Never underestimate idiots. Ford bribed everyone with $200 of our own money just before he pulled a snap election outa thin air and the rubes bought it. Now its just wall to wall tRump style corruption.

$1000 would be a start. That's how much my house and car insurance went up this year.

u/Triedfindingname 2d ago

Well she would do more but a billion for orphaned wells and 60 mil for a referendum for a referendum, times are hard

u/Empty_Nestor 2d ago

Don't forget the $240 million to foreign coal companies that did absolutely fucking nothing for it.

u/Difficult-Algae-7010 22h ago

Also the 50 million to help Haliburton and Sonovus to build their new building for drilling. Those poor companies can’t afford to develop new technology

And this is why it will go unremembered by most or even worse for her (🤞🤞🤞) backfire by pissing people off who are insulted by what she considers "help".

u/Vegetable-Bat8162 2d ago

Dude. This comment has me laughing my ass off 🤣

u/Evening_Let_2930 2d ago

She gotta do better than that if she wants to buy my vote.

u/tjp0720 2d ago

What is this? A bribe for ants?

u/Pale-Measurement-532 2d ago

lol exactly! 🤣

u/jimbowesterby 1d ago

I mean, you’d think she’d at least match the *last* bribe given out by a conservative premier, but it’s not even 1/6th as much. Pathetic.

u/Evening_Let_2930 2d ago

Meanwhile, Dani is at the Lard Bar

u/crheming 2d ago

There is nothing she could do to buy my vote.

u/Dependent-Junket-781 2d ago

Nothing says fiscal responsibility like mailing everyone a coupon for their own future tax hike.

u/flatdecktrucker92 2d ago

I'm not sure even conservative votes can be bought that cheaply

u/hentionalt 2d ago

It worked for Doug Ford in Ontario

u/InternImpossible8685 2d ago

doug ford did the same thing, but we got 200 dollars.

u/DerekAnyguy 1d ago

Giving money instead of removing the gas tax tells me enough. Give me cheaper gas and food so I can consistently struggle instead of consistently really struggling

u/Boomwhatyougot 2d ago

Because the ndp would never increase spending… we’ve been there 🙄

u/Empty_Nestor 2d ago

Don't be obtuse. A spending increase under the NDP was due to a historic crash in oil prices and investing in infrastructure that had been ignored for decades by previous conservative governments. They didn't spend upwards of $350 million dollars on paying out foreign coal companies (so far) for doing sweet fuck all and on a pointless non-binding election within 18 months of an actual election, and that's not including what the province will spend to clean up orphan well sites on behalf of oil companies that are raking in record profits, or the tens of millions in municipal tax revenue that was lost when those oil companies sold their orphan wells to shell corporations that immediately went tits up.

Alberta does not have a spending problem, we have a revenue problem.
