Calming the furor over equalization

[Tonington]

Yup. Everywhere else is hard done by and needs my help.

Normally I would tell you to drink a glass of water before you throw another hissy fit, but since you're poisoning the well by telling people they should come to Saskatchewan for work, and then on the other hand referring to people who will go wherever the work is as carpet baggers, I wouldn't suggest you drink the water at all.

Absolutley eastern stupidity !!!

That's how the equalization program works...if you can't understand it it must be stupid? :lol:

Durry just needs to ask himself - What would Winston Churchill do?

I guess you don't know what a carpetbagger is? It's an exploiter and opportunist who doesn't give a **** about his geographical loation or the locals. Bottom feeders.

Sounds like a lot of what you suggest considering you don't have a balanced approach to the economy and the environment.

It's a pejorative term used to scapegoat. Calling someone a carpet bagger for wanting to work is unproductive. I never thought you were the type to endorse labour market barriers. But then again I'm never surprised by the things you'll say when backed into a corner.

The economy? Environment? Balanced? Same sentence?


You have no idea do you?

I've noticed he doesn't have any logical consistency when it comes to discussing politics.

He'll endorse the occupy movement and chastise bureaucracy, but supports oil cabals and media spokesholes.

Big difference between wanting working and exploiting. Without Fed funding, deregulation and tax credits you wouldn't be working in the extremely harsh to the environment industry you do.

Oh, and of course we mustn't change anything that works for the easterners even if it's unfair for the west!!! Stupid !!!!

 

[Tonington]

I never said that...

Stupid !!!!

Yes, that is pretty stupid. I'm glad I never said that...

Big difference between wanting working and exploiting.

Yes, but you're willing to conflate the two. :roll:

 

[petros]

Yes, but you're willing to conflate the two. :roll:

You did. I called you a carpetbagger and nothing else.

Don't worry Durry. They can have a few pennies from my dollar. Our success is what is building the West. Give it another 10 years and we'll be out producing them in manufacturng too. Let them grovel over scraps that fall to the floor.

 

[Tonington]

You did.

I said my family moved around for work, and I didn't care what you think of PEI.

Derpy fail for Pete.

Yeah, but it's just so much fun kicking their lazy asses around when their down!!! :lol:

Got to get something for our money !! :lol:

Western infrastructure was ignored for far too long by the East. Now that we have added anotther port, increased highway and rail capacity we can finally get our products to markets efficiently and competitively. Asia Pacific Bill Gatesway was the best damn thing to hit the west since the CPR.

Well easterners already know they're getting plenty of your money.

 

[Tonington]

I wonder what Durry would suggest the big bad East do to reduce equalization payments coming out to the East? Tax cuts? I wonder...

Yes, but I'm not sure the increase highway and rail capacity is enough, but it's a good start.
The N Gateway P/L must go ahead !!!

You are really to ignorant to even think of alternatives.

No, but I'm willing to hear what you think would decrease equalization payments.

It will and the XL. First you have to play the enviro game and various other fluff issues to quasi appease the minions. We are 20 years into this already. There is no turning back.
