Cheaper and less fuss to buy them out

Poor LIE-berals squirming like worms on hot coals as all their policy shrivels in disgrace! LIE-berals are frantic to distract us even in some tiny way from their impending election disasters! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Here is an article illustrating the rabid hypocrisy of LIE-berals. With some comments of my own in brackets):

Foreign oil gets free ride from feds

By Colin Craig. Published: March 19, 2018. Updated: March 19, 2018 8:30 PM EDT

New documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation show the federal government requires Canadian oil to meet a higher environmental standard than oil that is imported into Canada.

How absurd is that? By putting up a big roadblock in front of Canadian oil companies, the federal government has lost out on billions of tax dollars, killed thousands of jobs and hurt businesses across Canada that sell goods and services to Canada’s energy sector.

(This LIE-beral hypocrisy is all part of the legacy of our vile former P.M. Pierre Trudeau- the legacy that his son- the idiot Boy Justin is trying to add to! The Trudeau clan are all anti western and anti white and anti Yankee- with Papa Pierre going so far as to tell us “the war against Nazi Germany is British Imperialism”! Pierre also wrote a book about his travels in China and in it, he heaped fawning praise on Chinese Chairman Mao “for his genius in rushing 30 million Chinese to the gallows” during the Great Leap forward economic plan! And idiot son Justin has told us that “he likes the way Chinese Communist leaders get things done”! And both idiot Boy Justin and brother Sacha have spoken warmly of their long time friendship with murderous Cuban dictator Castro!)

(The Trudeau`s are NOT friends of democracy or capitalism! The Trudeau`s would rather deal with vile socialist fellow travellers in Venezuela than allow capitalist Cdns in Alberta to earn a penny! This policy was set by Pierre Trudeau- who told us that he wanted to “destroy Cdn Imperialism” which apparently involves damaging our relations with United States and Great Britain and setting up a LIE-beral dominated immigration system to ensure that only people who hate western values- meaning generally LIE-berals consider people from third world countries carrying a chip on their shoulder against white people to be SUPERIOR to other immigrants- with NO LIE-beral consideration of language skill or education being considered! All that matters is hatred of western capitalist values and a willingness to vote LIE-beral in all elections!)

Recall that Canadian pipeline company TransCanada wanted to build a pipeline from western Canada to eastern Canada.

The project would have offset some of the 600,000 barrels of oil that eastern Canada imports each day from foreign countries.

(Yes- 600,000 barrels of foreign oil produced under LESS stringent pollution regulations than are used in Canada! For Our idiot Boy Justin- the call of socialist fellow travellers- even foreign ones- is LOUDER than the needs of CANADIANS in places like Alberta- where they DO NOT VOTE LIE-BERAL! And Our idiot Boy is even prepared to ignore less rigorous foreign environmental regulations as well- socialist birds flock together- at our expense!)

The project would have also contributed billions in tax dollars — not just to the Alberta government, but the federal government as well.

(Yes Our idiot Boy is so DRIVEN by his twisted and poisoned drive to destroy “Cdn Imperialism that he is willing to write off BILLIONS in tax dollars- just to spite anti LIE-beral Alberta!)

The latter could have used the money to pay for health care and other services across Canada.

(But Our idiot Boy sticks with his Venezuelan socialist pals and their oil instead!)

Instead, the project ran into a federal government barrier.

After TransCanada spent over $1 billion on planning the project and trying to secure approval from the federal government, the Trudeau government changed the approval process.

(LIE-berals recognize that the LEAST CONTROVERSIAL way to destroy a thing is by neglect! So LIE-berals tell us most sincerely that they are committed to pipelines and then put so many conditions in the way that business gives up! AS the TransCanada people have abandoned Energy East and as Kinder Morgan has all but abandoned their western pipe line- AFTER spending $3.7 billion dollars on it! And Kinder Morgan is now facing a series of political and environmental hurdles- including A GENDER RELATED ASSESSMENT of the value of their pipeline and who knew oil had a gender?)

(The worst of these newly imposed hurdles is that they CANNOT be completed before the next federal election- with any work done WASTED and forgotten when the govt dissolves and goes to the polls! Stall and delay till business gives up is the LIE-beral order of the day- with Shell Oil suddenly SELLING OFF all but 10 percent of its huge holdings in Alberta- no pipeline means NO exports and that means Alberta oil is WORTHLESS! And that suits LIE-berals just fine since they have repeatedly told us they want to shut down the ENTIRE Cdn oil patch! Looks like they are off to a good start!)

Suddenly the feds thought the project should also go through an “upstream and downstream” emissions review.

In other words, the federal government wanted to look at emissions during the production of the oil and when it is used in cars, trucks and other end-use purposes.

(But of course there is NO NEED to test Venezuelan oil that way!)

With that in mind, we asked the federal government if foreign oil would be subject to the same type of review. If Ottawa is concerned about emissions from Canadian oil then surely it would also be concerned about emissions from oil that is imported to Canada … right?

Incredibly, the federal government’s Environment and Climate Change department responded to our Access to Information request by indicating that they conducted a “thorough search” for such an emissions review for foreign oil but didn’t find anything.

We also asked Natural Resources Canada, the Department of Global Affairs and Transport Canada for the same information.

They too informed us they had no such reports. Thus, Ottawa requires Canadian oil to meet a higher standard than oil that is imported to Canada from the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Algeria and other countries.

Now consider how Canada’s situation compares with what’s happening south of the border. Last June, U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry, said: “An energy dominant America means self-reliant.

It means a secure nation, free from the geopolitical turmoil of other nations who seek to use energy as an economic weapon.

An energy dominant America will export to markets around the world, increasing our global leadership and our influence.”

If you think that bold position is too aggressive for Canada, consider an environmental benefit of energy independence.

The Canadian Energy Research Institute calculated that if Canada replaced foreign oil imports with Canadian oil, carbon dioxide emissions would decrease 6.2%.

This makes sense. Of course it’s more environmentally friendly to send oil from Alberta to Ontario than it is to import it all the way from Algeria.

(The Distance that oil must be shipped CLEARLY HAS an influence on its carbon foot print and Alberta oil IS our closest major supply!)

(One must also ask WHY LIE-berals are so determined to push their electric vehicles on us? It looks to me that LIE-berals see HUGE opportunity with those electric TOY vehicles in spite of the fact that their electric toys have limited cargo capacity, no towing capacity, with modest range that drops drastically in temperatures below 5 celsius, and they cost 50 percent MORE than gas cars- even AFTER the huge govt subsidies- that WE pay for- are added in!)

(LIE-berals want to destroy the oil industry and as always- neglect is a weapon in LIE-beral hands! They see nothing wrong with making it so difficult and costly for us to drive that we will give it up! Less drivers on roads means MORE GRAVY for LIE-berals and their Hog allies as they save on road repairs! LIE-berals want to turn our roads into Soviet style freeways- with govt vehicles speeding along- delivering the elites quickly and efficiently to their destinations while the peasants stand in cold and rain waiting for already overloaded busses- and does that not sound rather like a typical day on TTC?)

(With the added TTC issue that TTC DOES NOT have any plan B for when their aging gear breaks down! TTC is becoming notorious for taking passengers some place and then dumping them there for hours as the equipment fails! And our ever greedy LIE-berals have their plans bass ackwards as usual- it would be easier to lure people out of cars IF LIE-berals first built some more transit! More transit means less bullying needed and more people WILLING to put away the cars- but LIE-berals cannot build transit as we are stony broke and LIE-berals need ALL the money for their gravy hungry Hog allies!)

(LIE-berals have set up a lose/lose/lose situation- they claim their carbon tax is needed to save the environment- even though their carbon crap only cleans cash from wallets. They are forcing us to buy foreign oil produced under less rigorous laws than Canada. And just for SPITE- LIE-berals are SCREWING Alberta economy because western Cdns do not like LIE-berals! Congratulations to LIE-berals for becoming the party of spiteful and irrational Hogs being busy working against Canada!)

Legislation to turn off the energy taps will pass Wednesday: Premier | Edmonton Journal


Depending on how the Fed gvt responds, you may see a more impassioned move towards ABEXIT


An impassioned move towards ABEXIT????????????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yankees already have a fine supply of home grown snowflakes! They DON`T need more! And they especially do not want FLAKES promoting the kind of crap described below!



Here is an article showing that stupid ideas never die- they just rattle around in LIE-beral brains for a while before resurfacing. With some comments of my own in brackets):

Methadone madness? Liberals removing barriers to prescription heroin in response to opioid epidemic

From Canadian Press. Published: March 26, 2018. Updated: March 26, 2018 12:36 PM EDT

Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ Life/ Health

OTTAWA — Access to treatment for opioid addiction is about to get easier as the government promises changes to drug laws that will do away with some of the obstacles preventing doctors from offering prescription heroin and methadone.

(Apparently LIE-berals do not recall the reason WHY access to methadone was TIGHTENED UP several decades back! Something to do with addicts getting multiple doses of methadone and spending a LOT of time really STONED and out of things- on the public dime!)

(Methadone is certainly a safer drug than heroin or morphine- but it IS dangerous in its own right if abused- which this LIE-beral plan to make easier access will facilitate! People with long memories will recall the drug trial in which a father faced murder or manslaughter charges due to the death of his daughter- the druggie Dad had been allowed “carry privileges- that is he was considered reliable enough to take home a substantial supply of methadone and to consume it as prescribed. Problem is Dad kept his stock ready to use- mixed with orange juice in the fridge and his thirsty daughter made the FATAL MISTAKE of drinking a glass and DIED of the over dose! Even an addict seeking a govt supplied methadone fix can O.D. on the stuff! People on methadone generally are NOT allowed to drive! Muddled LIE-berals substitute one poison for another!)

Forthcoming legal changes will allow patients to access, when appropriate, prescribed heroin outside of a hospital setting, such as addiction clinics, making it easier for them to balance their treatment with daily responsibilities.

The government is also making methadone more accessible, allowing health-care practitioners to prescribe and administer it without needing to apply for an exemption from federal law.

(And WHO is to regulate this dandy new access to powerful drugs? Last time around a number of corrupt doctors faced legal action for supplying addicts with multiple doses and govt was forced to restrict access and tighten up rules and inspections of numbers of prescriptions written and patients ALLEGEDLY seen! Some unscrupulous doctors happily took govt money for tending to phantom patients! LIE-berals have NO new ideas- only old ones they have forgotten were failures!)

Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor said Monday that removing barriers to treatment is crucial to combat what her department describes as a national public health crisis that continues to devastate families and communities.

“We know way too many parents, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons or loved ones who have died because of opioids,” she said. “I believe we can turn the tide on this crisis. And we can do it together.”

(LIE-berals consider that it is necessary they do something- but have NO ideas that will not either cost them votes or interfere with their supply of gravy!)

Health Canada estimates about 2,900 people died in 2016 as a result of the crisis and estimates slated to be released Tuesday suggest the epidemic claimed more than 4,000 lives last year.

(Shall we ask if the numbers have been handled just like LIE-beral deficit numbers- changed to make the opiod crisis look more important? LIE-beral numbers must ALWAYS be suspect to honest observers these days!)

The Controlled Drug and Substances Act currently requires that physicians apply for an exemption from federal law to be allowed to prescribe, administer, sell or provide methadone.

The government’s announced changes will mean doctors no longer require an exemption, something Petitpas Taylor says is a barrier that discourages the treatment from being offered.

(As mentioned- WHO will supervise this LIE-beral MESS? There are already major questions surrounding the amount of Opiods being prescribed for natives- with nobody making any effort to track the suppliers! Relaxed methadone and heroin supply rules will simply supply a new addiction option- but LIE-berals do not care just so long as addicts and natives continue to vote LIE-beral! As for dropping the license requirement for doctors- should not only experts in the addiction fiedl being the ONLY ones offering methadone and heroin? Why let any garden variety GP hand it out now unsupervised- since its gone wrong before?)

The new regulations are expected to come into effect in May and stem from recent recommendations from the Canadian Research Initiative in Substances Misuse.

(Oh! LIE-beral loving poverty pimps have told LIE-berals what they want to hear about how to buy addict and poverty pimp social worker voter support!)

Last month’s federal budget earmarked $231 million to improve access to treatment, address stigma and gather data on the opioid crisis.

(But options which involve legal limitations on access to powerful drugs are seen as heavy handed and draconian by LIE-berals lost in their own Sunny Ways?)

That includes $18.7 million over five years to tackle the stigma faced by people who use drugs, which includes a public education campaign aimed at changing stereotypes.

(Oh right! An honest pubic perception of drug addicts as living on welfare and getting free drugs and shop lifting to augment their income might make LIE-beral loving poverty pimps uncomfortable! Too bad LIE-berals cannot admit that 9 year old Lisa Podniewitz was beaten to death by her addicted parents under the supervision of poverty pimps who see addicts only as victims! On the day Lisa died of Pneumonia brought on by broken ribs and breathing troubles- a social worker dropped in to check on her- and put a nice ankle bracelet on her- and never noticed the kid also had a broken leg! Coddling hard core addicts SHOULD NOT be part of the LIE-beral plan and some inane commercials will not change that!)

“Stigma is a huge barrier for people getting the treatment that they need. And it’s not acceptable,” Petitpas Taylor said.

(Oh? LIE-berals want to suggest that admitting you are an addict in need of help is a greater stigma than laying in alleyway in your own filth- with a dirty needle in your arm and a serious risk of AIDS thrown in for good measure? And what of all those women prostituting themselves for their next hit? What of the native Cdn woman who was in the news a few years back giving birth to her 8th- or was it 10th child? With each one born addicted to drugs and suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome and suffering from an array of disabilities from drug abuse?)

She did not provide a date for when the education campaign would roll out, but emphasized it would happen as soon as possible.

(The biggest difficulty in writing an education program for this crap will be saying something that will NOT result in LIE-berals being immediately laughed out of the room by an angry and disgusted public!)

Dr. Jeff Turnbull, director of Ottawa Inner City Health, which provides health care to the homeless community, said improving access to opioid-addiction treatment is welcome news, but much more remains to be done beyond stabilizing a medical condition.

“You have to find stable housing, you have to find support, you have to treat their underlying mental health problems and their addiction is all part of that,” Turnbull said.

“The real work begins now.”

(LIE-berals have long ago written off any person who requires real mental health aid as being too costly to bother treating- LIE-beral need for gravy is DIRE- its why they refuse to force treatment on those in mental distress! And yes- LIE-berals have just announced some new funding for mental health but there is NO provision for forcing treatment on crazy people who are not able to make any sensible long term choices! To many people go off their meds once out of hospital and then re-offend!)

Deirdre Freiheit, head of the Ottawa-based harm-reduction organization Shepherds of Good Hope, applauded the announcement and stressed the importance of tackling stigma.

“Our clients have been vilified often by many rather than supported,” she said.

(Oh yes- the stigma is the major obstacle to desperate addicts that have prostituted themselves and STOLEN and sold ANYTHING they can get their hands on including their mothers wedding ring and jewellery! And it is NOT so easy for an addict to get another job after having been caught STEALING from his old boss and then serving jail time for it! Aggressive prevention- such as tracking chemicals needed for drug production- seems a more practical approach- but LIE-berals would rather legalize heroin and save their gravy than make major efforts to cut drug supplies- its an admission of TOTAL current LIE-beral policy failure! )

“They’ve been judged for being in crisis rather than being supported. People have placed barriers in front of them — physical, emotional, systemic — rather than broken them down.”

(You cannot make a horrific mess of your life and betray your own family and friends and cheat your employer without repercussions- this is why prevention is such a NECESSARY issue of drug strategy! Poverty pimps see addicts as clients while many Cdns see them as a PLAGUE! LIE-beral advertising- that we cannot afford will NOT change that view- it will just ANNOY and insult tax payers!)

Of the $231 million set aside in the federal budget for the opioid crisis, $150 million will go to provinces and territories to improve access to treatment, about $32 million will help border security intercept fentanyl and other illegal substances and nearly $18 million will improve research and access to public-health data and analysis.

(That`s nice- LIE-berals DO SO LOVE throwing money at problems- too bad LIE-berals care more for image than results!)

(The entire LIE-beral attitude to addicts and dealers needs MAJOR revision! One has only to think of the Toronto Lucky Moose Market that magnet for a certain drug addicted shoplifter who snatched and grabbed flowers and other merchandise that he could sell for his habit or eat since he had spent all his money on drugs! And the market owner could not get cop help- the usual thing- short handed- and so he trapped the addict himself and ended up being charged with KIDNAPPING for imprisoning the addict! And LIE-berals WAIVED the theft and drug charges to ensure the addict would testify against the shop owner! LIE-berasl seem confused as to who the vicitm is in this crap!)

(Perhaps LIE-berals should consider the old Chinese custom of caning dealers? In the year 1900- the number of Opium addicts in China comprised 60 percent of the entire population between ages 15 and 55- and desperate Chinese leaders offered treatment for addicts and SERIOUS PUNISHMENT was offered to anybody convicted of drug dealing! The caning would certainly be cheaper than jail- we could have dealers in and out in a week! LIE-berals WOULD save gravy in such a way- but might lose votes so its no go! Massive debts and Sunny Ways are the LIE-beral focus!)

Oh dont worry little LIE-beral cry baby! By the time Our idiot Boy Justin has fully explained his position on NAFTA to the Yankees there will BE NO CDN SNOWFLAKES ALLOWED IN UNITED STATES EVER AGAIN!!!!



The ABEXIT WILL BE OFF!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Here is an article illustrating the deluded thinking of LIE-berals and their poisonous hostility to all things Yankee. With some comments of my own in brackets):

EDITORIAL: Trudeau riding to NAFTA’s rescue

On the same day Donald Trump was given a clean bill of health — as in a-okay physically and apparently mentally, as well — he blurted out another tweet that NAFTA was “a bad joke.”

This had Justin Trudeau deciding to send in the cavalry. Himself.

As the Prime Minister’s Office announced Friday, Trudeau is heading to the United States Feb. 7 on a three-city tour — San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago — where he will “further strengthen the deep bonds that unite Canada and the United States.”

(Any sensible observer will recognize that Our idiot Boy Justin is just posturing for the cameras! He has already made it clear he will quite willing to let NAFTA DIE- and to then attempt to blame Trump for the resulting economic mess! Our idiot Boy is a true socialist willing to sacrifice much in exchange for taking a kick at what Pierre Trudope called “Cdn Imperialism”! Our idiot Boy- and his bigoted followers refuse to admit that we are having this “free trade” trouble simply because Yankees do not wish to import Muslim terror and Cdn illegals along with their softwood lumber and Cdn dairy products! Trump is working on national security issues that are a concern to main stream North America and Our idiot Boy is working on immigration policies that are generally NOT ACCEPTED even among Cdns! The great majority of Cdns are deeply troubled by LIE-beral immigration policy and most of us do agree with Trump that border security under LIE-berals is a MESS! So Our idiot Boy is working hard to muddy the waters and hope we will forget his idiot messes!)

‘Deep’ may be too strong a descriptor. As Bloomberg News reported a day earlier, Trump’s America is fast “losing patience” with Canada over the NATFA talks.

(It does seem obvious that Our idiot Boy is hoping to talk the LIE-beral created trade mess to death until Trump leaves office! Our idiot Boy is taking a MAJOR risk with our economy- a great many people in both Canada and United States want greater control on immigration standards and failure to deliver honest national security standards will give Yankees the tools they need to close the border! WE already have enough sandwich makers and taxi drivers and welfare recipients and do not need more- especially since such people are being selected primarily for their willingness to vote LIE-beral! Our idiot Boy is running MASSIVE DEFICITS in order to BUY votes so LIE-berals can cling to power at any price and defy the Cdn majority!)

According to the business network, the U.S. NAFTA team is growing weary of Canada’s “intransigence” at the table, and particularly its tireless promotion of Justin Trudeau’s demand for a “progressive” trade deal based on improving gender equality and the environment, among other liberal-minded things.

(Gender and native issues have no place in a trade agreement between two genuine democracies! Our idiot Boy is deliberately picking a fight and insulting Yankees with this crap!)

A spokesperson for Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, seems nonplussed by the impasse or the United States’ frustrations: “As is natural during any negotiation, there are issues where we do not all see eye-to-eye,” said her office.

“We will continue to work hard and negotiate constructively to modernize so it is a win-win-win for everyone.”

Wow. Three wins.

No doubt this has Mexico breathing a sigh of relief, since Trump remains insistent that a wall between Mexico and the United States must, and will, be built, and that the success of NAFTA depends on it.

“We need the Wall for the safety and security of our country,” he tweeted. “We need the wall to help stop the influx of drugs from Mexico, now rated the number one most dangerous country in the world.

“If there is no Wall, there is no Deal!”

If Trudeau sees himself riding to NAFTA’s rescue, he’d better start talking about real trades issues—tariffs, supply management, and auto-sector integration—and not wishy-washy non-trade stuff like gender equality and why the grass is green.

Billions of dollars and millions of jobs are dependent on this. It is not the time to lecture Trump on anything, let alone progressiveness.

That’ll go down like a lead balloon.

(If Our idiot Boy does kill NAFTA, it is VERY likely that his own political career will be flushed along with it! There will be NO WAY to hide LIE-beral stupidity in running up MASSIVE DEFICITS for years while screwing NAFTA and setting us up for that HUGE economic hit that will come after Yankees grow weary of the utter lack of Cdn national security policy! One or two more major crimes committed either by Muslims or illegal may be enough to trip the balance and close the border! Many Yankees still suspect that some of the 9/11 terrorists have a Cdn connection and the current wide open Cdn border situation mandated by airhead LIE-berals will not help!)

Canada is not large enough to be divided; its area is extensive: true, but the condensation of its people is on its southern band region.
So if you take this in consideration, Canada needs to be united rather than dismantled.
And to be independent and on the non-alignment to any state.

Here is exactly why Alberta will NEVER separate- nor will it ever be acceptable to Washington as a state!


Here is an article illustrating the sort of mad mess LIE-berals and their less intelligent cousins of NDP are making of Canada. With some comments of my own in brackets):

Alberta report on debt shows bleak future for taxpayers.

Global News. By Slav Kornik. May 4/2018

A new report is painting a dark picture for Alberta taxpayers caused by the province's debt.

The University of Calgary's School of Public Policy released Fiscal Policy Trends Thursday morning, which suggests the provincial debt will impose substantial burdens on future taxpayers, with younger age groups paying a disproportionate burden.

(Of course the kids will bear the major burden- given the TOTAL size of Cdn debts- it is quite likely that it will take many hundreds of years to deal with the CURRENT DEBT- much less try to tackle new debts that LIE-berals and their idiot NDP cousins continue to run up as they try frantically to buy enough votes to cling to power at ANY price!)

During the 2018 budget announcement in March, Finance Minister Joe Ceci said the province’s current deficit sits at $8.8 billion. He forecasted it will fall to $7.9 billion, then to $7 billion, down to $4.3 billion, then $4.1 billion and finally to a $700-million surplus by spring 2024.

Alberta Budget 2018: finance minister outlines plan to balance books in five years

Authors of the U of C study suggest that means the public debt will be about $90 billion with annual interest payments of $3.8 billion in 2023-24. Interest payments on the debt will be $1.9 billion this year.

The report states 16 to 25 year olds will take on 19.5 per cent of the burden among Alberta's taxpayers in 2023, while 26 to 35 year olds will cover 27.3 per cent of the cost.

A 16-year-old can expect to pay the equivalent of $42,252 over his or her lifetime as well as additional personal income taxes to pay the interest on the debt, according to the study.

(NOTE THAT WELL: over $42 grand IN TAXES AND INTEREST PAYMENTS ONLY! The money needed to actually pay off th debt is EXTRA! This is why there will be NO separation of any provinces from Canada! And it is also why Yankees will NOT welcome any Cdn province that wants to convert to statehood! There is NO need to buy the sick cow when the milk is FREE!)

The highest burden will be place on individuals who are 36-years-old in 2023, who will pay $49,864. Older age groups will shoulder a lower burden, with a typical 65-year-old paying $20,605.

(Some LIE-berals will immediately cry foul over these numbers and suggest that it illustrates that old folks are getting an unfair deal- THAT IS NOT SO! Old folks simply will not live long enough under the current tax mad LIE-beral regime to receive as many tax bills as the kids- they actually stop billing you after you DIE!)

The authors of the study said the growth of the public debt should be concerning for Albertans, but it should be especially worrisome for the province's youth.

(It should be a concern for ALL KIDS as the same Tax mad nonsense is playing out right across Canada and the entire western world as well!)

When Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP won power in 2015, she inherited an economy that was bottoming out as oil prices crashed and erased billions from Alberta’s coffers.

Rather than ratchet back spending, the NDP poured money into infrastructure and avoided cuts to front-line services.

(This is a convoluted and diplomatic way of saying that civil service union Hogs CONTINUED to get all the GRAVY they wanted- at our cost! Civil service union Hogs live very nicely on our BORROWED money!)

The plan to get back to balance relies on revenue from two pipeline projects approved by the federal government: improvements to Enbridge’s Line 3 into Wisconsin and an expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain line to the West Coast which has faced delays in British Columbia.

(IN other words- ALL LIE-beral policy is FAILING! LIE-berals have sworn to shut down the Alberta oil patch for ever and NDPers and Greens have said “ME TOO” and supported the LIE-beral policy! And now we have Alberta NDPers forced to the ugly realization they MUST HAVE oil revenue to survive! LIE-berals and their idiot socialist allies are going to have to make some TOUGH choices if they truly want to save the environment! WE need to heat our homes and supply lights and power to our work places. And there is NO POINT in making war upon cars until some time in the distant future- meaning AFTER LIE-berals have built a PILE of new transit so that drivers actually have an option regarding how to get to work!)

(Sadly- LIE-berals make NO LONG TERM PLANS for anything - other than to seek out ideas for blaming Mike Harris and Stephen Harper for ALL their troubles! But our kids are seeing through that socialist crap- there is nothing like spending a year or two wrestling with student debt to convince kids that DEBT IS BAD! Hence the sudden nasty change in Cdn weather for our socialist airheads who are finding their Sunny Ways going VERY DARK and stormy!)
