The next radical idea they would probably bring in is to stop equalization payments to the east.
That should cause all you easterners to piss your pants!!
Since when did a provincial government have any real say in federal policy?

You forget that it was the east that supported Alberta before their oil strike]
and it was eastern investors that put money into the initial Alberta oil sands development FONT]
Hahaha, it was the easterners who caused the problem in the first place, they wanted AB's wealth !!and it was the easterners that supported Alberta when the bottom temporarily fell out the oil patch back in the 1980s even after Alberta told the easterners to “Let eastern bastards freeze in the dark.”

When they have the cheque book and the money to back it up.

From Wild Rose website:
-------
Another critical area of concern is the massive transfer of wealth between Alberta and Canada’s so-called ‘have-not’ provinces. In 2009 alone, Alberta taxpayers sent $21 billion more to the federal government for direct use by other provinces than we received in return. This equates to roughly $5,700 for every man, woman and child in our province – by far the largest contribution per capita in Canada. A much larger portion of these dollars should be returned to Alberta for our infrastructure, health care, education and deficit reduction needs.
DEFENDING ALBERTA
Take an aggressive stance with the federal government in regards to the equalization program in order to ensure that billions more of Albertans’ hard-earned tax dollars remain in the province, working for the benefit of Albertans
Exercise our provincial constitutional rights by demanding that the federal government not regulate our industry or property in the name of “environmental protection”
------------
That's $ 22,800.00 (5700 x 4) for a family of four.
What family of four could not use an additional $23k income, but to pay it to someone who just pisses it away is really something else!!!
------
That's almost $ 2k per month !!
....but to pay it to someone who just pisses it away is really something else!!!

Good question. Seems to me AB has done ok for itself for the most part. And that is a bit annoying to me considering we are right beside AB and for the most part have had duds for gov'ts since Bennett Sr. F'n morons are too stupid to take a page or two from AB's book and run with it.How come everybody who doesn't live in AB knows what is best for AB?

If Vancouver and the Island were ran seperately the rest of BC would be in awesome shape and Van/Van Island in even deeper ****.Good question. Seems to me AB has done ok for itself for the most part.

Yeah half of SK went to go there to build the joint.I'd say it's a no brainer, two main reasons.............Oil and the fact most Albertans have a good work ethic.
Yep.If Vancouver and the Island were ran seperately the rest of BC would be in awesome shape and Van/Van Island in even deeper ****.
