Educate yourself before making meaningless comments mentalcase

You mean your statement about competing with China?

A country that is actually more union-friendly than we are?

And coincidentally, becoming the #1 economic superpower in the next few years?

China, union friendly, and I suppose they are also democratically elected and free to express their opinions against their government????

Hey, have-not, go get an education. Use some of that $2.2 billion we just sent you wisely, don't piss it away like the money we gave you last year!!

Ten...the turd gave us no such thing..we had it before he came along...he gave us flawed policies like enforced french, metrification, and opened to floodgates to uncontrolled immigration as well and tried to remove provincial jurisdiction over energy...he was real gem that fella.

Where did I say he gave those things to us?
You said you don't support anything he believed in, so I was just listing off things he believed in, because by your own statement, that means you don't believe in them.

You'd best check into the new ones being layed as we speak.
Even South Korea is getting in on the Pipeline action and building an LNG port in Canada. Best get with the program, your pipe dreams don't stand a hope in hell because the economic border between Canada and the US has long ago vanished and it wasn't PET's doing. It was Lyin' Brian. You can thank him in person he's still alive. Slamming a deadman for something he didn't do is ridiculous.

Do you think our oil would be going south for upgrading and refinement if PET were still in power?

With a response like this it is clearly evident why your a have-not.
Like I said, go get an education!!

You should know that a have-not province means you have no money to pay your bills !!
But it also follows that you lack in decision making skills, if you had good decision making skills, you would have money to pay your bills!!

China is hardly union friendly, only one legal union exists in China and it's basically an arm of the Chinese government.

All-China Federation of Trade Unions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International Confederation of Free Trade Unions maintains the position that the ACFTU is not an independent trade union organisation, and states in its policy:

5. There are differing approaches among ICFTU affiliates and Global Union Federations concerning contacts with the ACFTU. They range from “no contacts” to “constructive dialogue”. The ICFTU, noting that the ACFTU is not an independent trade union organisation and, therefore, cannot be regarded as an authentic voice of Chinese workers, reaffirms its request to all affiliates and Global Union Federations having contacts with the Chinese authorities, including the ACFTU, to engage in critical dialogue. This includes raising violations of fundamental workers’ and trade union rights in any such meetings, especially concerning cases of detention of trade union and labour rights activists.[3]

With a response like this it is clearly evident why your a have-not.

You're just showing your self to be an ignorant buffoon again. Show me where Ontario doesn't have money to pay its bills?

When Northern Ontario and PQ get the infrastructure it needs to open up the mineral wealth of the Canadian Shield the West will be doomed. Where do you think the ore to make the steel that builds the refineries and pipelines come from?

It's called Socialist Stimlus. Just like the nearly Billion $ tossed at Alberta in the past couple of years.

Thanks Uncle Steve!

I'm pretty sure that all of Canada helped create what is now Alberta, since 1905. I don't recall reading that Alberta appeared, fully formed and populated, last week.
