Not the government, not UCP voters, but Albertans.

Sorry, I lived too many years in Alberta to distinguish between how Alberta treats the rest of Canada, and how Albertans treat the rest of Canada. Y'all got a cultural problem out there, and I was subjected to it for the better part of a decade.

Demanding more of the rich is a sin under the church of capitalism.

Every business mogual loves a fascist oligarchy until they discover they're on the outside.

Weirdly enough, the American compulsion to try and annex us has deep roots, too. I'd guess equally deep.

You can't argue with results! Nova Scotia is notoriously rich and prosperous, after all!

They should just be posting shit on their websites. We still have web browsers. We don't need to be able to reply.

The NDP membership may be a coalition of different degrees of "left", but the elected representatives are politicians, many of whom will do what they believe is best for their careers.

The NDP is just a political party. The membership, the politicians, and the execuitives are all separate parts with separate goals that often do not align. A significant paart of the last two groups only care about winning elections.

It's also a win/win target for him. If the government did eliminated the TFW program, there'd be a wave of fear over wages and an endless stream of attacks funded by employers. If they didn't, then there's a bunch of brown people taking good ol' Canadian jerbs!

Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power. - Benito Mussolini

It seems really weird that Canafian Tire bought the Zeller's motto, but not the name or branding.

Where will the lowest price be the law?

They haven't really been Canadian since Wendy's bought them in 1995. That brief period of being publically traded notwithstanding.

Yeah. Weird the focus on Carney's resume when BTW legislation has basically been #1 on every PM's and Premiere's speed dial foor 30 years now.

 

Crazy how the only one of these airing criticism that says the budget isn't doing enough is the publicly owned one.
