Thanks for your award but I feel a little like Zemgus Girgensons. I guess that's to be expected when you hand over the voting to idiots.
Yes it would be. I'm a fiscal conservative. That's why you social conservatives get your panties all twisted when I make fun of you. Your silly "leftard" labels don't apply and it confuses you mightily.
A vote wasn't needed
That's funny, particularly for an individual that worships the very ground that Justin Trudeau walks on.
Clearly you are extremely confused
Youre so silly. You're gaining on Boomer
Really? Do tell! How does thinking Justin is incompetent and a political lightweight equal worshipping the ground he walks on?
I'm guessing that English isn't your first language... Like I said, I vote wasn't needed
Just because Justine hasn't returned any of your calls or responded to the many cards and letters you sent is no reason to change your position, pout and lash out.
Well, it isn't if your so arrogant as to assume to speak for everybody. I guess I assumed you weren't that arrogant. I won't make that assumption again.
Sorry to disappoint but my position with regards to Justin has not changed. Look, I understand that you can't actually refute anything I say but hey, feel free to make up things I believe and refute those. It really is the best you can do I'm afraid.
thank you for your moderation... you're a shyte-disrupter extraordinaire. What part of your moderator's manual are you following here?
of course, the DuhSleeper lapdog is now infamous for his statements that, as he repeatedly said, "he had no basis... and he required no basis"... to repeatedly make his bullshyte claim. As I quite laughingly repeated several times, his Bullshyte labeling was simply his Tourettes unleashed! :mrgreen: It's all there for anyone to read: in the short couple of sentences I made, there isn't a single thing I wrote that any sane person could legitimately challenge... which brings up the opposite of sane - "the dancingMan"... oh, and his loyal lappers! Like you, hey Locutus!

isn't it amazing how these guys can spend so much time/energy actually avoiding the raised concerns, questions and impacts... affecting not just Alberta! Of course it's much easier to 'shuck & jive', high-five and backslap each other while uttering such fake-outrage over how a quote was made! Go figure.
oh snap BooMan! You're such a clever facker, hey! :mrgreen:
thanks for the reddie EagleSmuck! More please! I need you to ramp it up a bit before I take another screenshot to display your intellectual prowess!

Yeah is affecting the transfer payments to Ontario and Quebec.. you guys will never dig yourself out of debt without the West and our Oil Money.
So I'd suggest you and Flossy quit being such Hypocrites when it comes to Oil.
little feller is mad. only a couple of members thwacking his ear...the rest have risen above, can't be bothered any more or are on his waldon't ignore list. and I do mean raging mad. :lol:
I suggest if you want to presume to spout off about equalization/transfer you educate yourself... here's a handy article that, I trust, will ensure you don't embarrass yourself any further! Equalization Questions and Misconceptions
One of the common misconceptions is that equalization is entirely paid for by the so-called “have provinces”, notably Alberta.
It isn’t uncommon to see comments on blogs or online media stories calling for Alberta to “pull out” the equalization program, or about how other provinces are spending the money they get from Alberta via transfer payments from that province.
Provinces keep all the money they raise from resources and all their other tax bases. No provincial government funds go to support equalization. There is no special “equalization tax” or levy paid to the federal government by richer provinces such as Alberta, and even if the equalization program were cancelled tomorrow, this would not affect how much money the federal government collects from individuals and businesses in the forms of taxes, duties, etc. This can’t be stressed enough: no province “pays into equalization” – all individual taxpayers and businesses pay into the federal government’s general revenue fund, from which equalization is just one of many programs funded. So in answer to questions such as, how much money does Alberta transfer to Quebec or how much money does Alberta pay to equalization, the answer is simply “$0.00″. No province transfers any money to any other province. Individuals and corporations transfer money to the federal government.

and yet another... another... Locutus "Mad, U Mad" post! :mrgreen:
obsessed but impotent...thinking of us during his 'away' time...biggest problem is he had to ignore the stronger members after his defeats and is backed into a quiet corner.
