Breaking : Cdn news

I have have lived in Alberta for most of the last 15 years, and I have never seen anyone wear shirts like that. You act if they are massively popular in Calgary. You barely even lived there for three years. Obviously you did not get outside much. Did you just randomly put those words into a search engine, or come across one single person wearing that slogan?

These are the actual shirts you saw people wearing.

Don't be silly.......the T shirsts were available during the boom....... eighties.......etc. I got one from a friend in Lethbridge.

That is unfair question to ask OB or any of the other haters. They can't admit the truth, that they are jealous of the success in oil rich Canadian provinces, and feel threatened by them.

I doubt jealousy has much to do with it, Girth. If there was any prior to the pipeline debacle, there is absolutely no reason for it now. It is as if they look at AB as an entity devoid of inhabitants. They speak of AB not of its people. Yet it is the people who are in dire straits. It is the people just like themselves who are in need of assistance. These are fellow Canadians fps.

 

[Mowich]

Western separatists are traitors that should be arrested for sedition.

Oh fps,CC................do get over yourself already. I must have missed the post where you wrote the same thing about the Bloc Quebecois party.

wHO exactly "hate" Alberta?? That is such a divisive term.(hate)...........and inflammatory. There are differences between all provinces.and some are rather testy...........but if folks really want to.......they can work things out. If they prolong their issues , they might come to a time where they HAVE to work things out.........as there is a bigger scenario than just the individual provinces. The question is: to find the point where the parties are truly motivated to work things out.

If the current generation is not aware of what the boom era was like........they might want to do a bit of research. Alberta could have been way ahead in developing clean energy..........as they sure had the money then. Many could have been employed in energy of the future by now.

 

[Mowich]

Coming from a master hypocrite...........it is rich.

but he did add......that Trudeau is a nice guy.

So he neutralised his own critic ism.

the REALLY crazy thing is that Biden is using that video in his campaign now The FACT is that other leaders do not like Trump...........and for good reason. He is not likeable and does not play nice with others. and does not comport himself in the way that leaders are expected to do. Being ridiculous is not being different / or effective.

Yeah........that Joe............crazy like a fox. :lol:

 

[Mowich]

The question is: when Alberta was riding high under the blue eyed shriek.........why did it not make plans for alternate energy ............and gradually get off oil dependency ?

Woulda, shoulda, couldas don't change or help the current situation.

 

[Ocean Breeze]

Yeah........that Joe............crazy like a fox. :lol:

spot on !! Could not believe how FAST he had that video out for public consumption. It had barely made the news.

 

[Ocean Breeze]

Woulda, shoulda, couldas don't change or help the current situation.

Of course, you are right about that. But we must learn from history........

 

[pgs]

Geez, OB..........get a frickin' grip.............please. I don't know a single major Canadian city that is not Americanized to some extent or another. American culture flooded Canada long ago.

Ask any Canadian what their favorite TV program is and I will bet you dollars to donuts that it won't be the new 'woke' version of Anne of Green Gables...........it will more likely be an American reality show or what passes for American comedy/drama these days.

Please explain is some detail exactly what you mean by 'Trumpian tactics'. I ask this as the man has been so all over the map with his ideas, comments, decisions, and general behavior that I doubt he even knows how to spell the word let alone employ any.

If you feel the need to hate on AB at least use facts that back up your opinion. Please.

Come now , I have never been so upset, since they cancelled Little Mosque on the Prairie .

The one industry town is in trouble, again .... boom ..."Man, are we ever good!" ... bust ... We're VICTIMS of those goddam Easterners!" ... boom ... " We're the smartest! We're the greatest! Everyone East of Manitoba is a lazy, shiftless bum!" ... bust ... "We're going to separate because those goddam Easterners won't let us run the country! It ain't democratic just 'cause there's so many of them!"

Good you won’t miss them when they have gone .

You found a t-shirt nearly 40 years ago that you found represented Alberta arrogance. Do you still have your Duran Duran cassette tapes? :smile:

ok.....then you did not live through the alberta Boom.........or Peter Lougheed.(sp_Who was called the Blue eyed shiek. Alberta was rich, and really booming. .........those were Alberta's glory days. It just didn't plan for uncertainties of the future.nor the changes that were to come. It became too oil dependant......for its economy etc. As a sage will tell you ....nothing lasts forever.Now it must find new ways ......and adapt to the changes that have taken place.

Did not find that t shirt ......It was sent to me from a friend in Lethbridge.

oh.......I will chalk up your cheekiness to immaturity and youth. ;-)

Oh fps,CC................do get over yourself already. I must have missed the post where you wrote the same thing about the Bloc Quebecois party.

No, the Block is no threat to Canada. They are a toothless dog that can only bark. I don't expect any loyalty to country from them, anyway.

It's interesting. We have cyclical downturns in the manufacturing-rich East from time to time some quite deep. How do Westerners respond when that happens in the East but you're flush with cash? "They're lazy bums. They're backwards and stupid. It's our money! Why should we share it with stupid, lazy bums?" So, when it's reversed and there is less value in pumping money out of the ground than using human creativity .... well ..."We're VICTIMS! They owe us! Give us your political power or we leave you in the dark to freeze!"


Get over yourselves.

You just refuse to see what is in front of your face . This is not about a downturn in the economy . I

TORONTO - Bond rating agency Moody's has downgraded the province of Ontario's credit rating.

The agency announced the downgrade from Aa3 to Aa2 today, citing the province's $14.5-billion deficit in 2018-2019 and projections that it will continue to post deficits in the coming years.

Moody's says the combination of increased debt and slow revenue growth will result in a faster than previously anticipated increase of the province's debt burden.

The agency says the province will be subject to greater impact of interest rates increases, which it projects to jump over the next three to five years.

Finance Minister Vic Fedeli blamed the previous Liberal government for the creating the circumstances that have led to the credit downgrade.

But Moody's also says that actions taken by the current government to reduce revenue levels will add to the budgetary pressures facing the province.

Those American wannabes down in Canada's penis need to change their one horse auto parts economy into a diverse portfolio.

They had to invest a lot into infrastructure to keep up with demand from the boom, pre boom they had the lowest paved roads per capita and nothing to handle the heavy loads that were in demand to support the industry paying their and much of Canada's bills. Imagine if you will if they were able to keep all their money they handed over for Big potato's equalization payments. Alberta was the first province to build a wind farm in Canada, other than that what other Green technology was there to invest in during the boom?

So when they were car bombing and marching in the streets they were just a toothless dog and misunderstood? The West is verbally complaining and they are treasonous? OK gotcha carry on.

When the East was in their down turns where did they look to get jobs? NFLD?

Trump calls Trudeau 'two-faced' after viral video


U.S. President Donald Trump called Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 'two-faced' after a video went viral of Trudeau speaking to other leaders about Trump.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/no-apology-f...president-trump-calls-him-two-faced-1.4714587


Oh my. FACT: the world leaders are just tolerating Trump.........as who in their right mind would "respect" him???

..........so trump grabbed his marbles and went home. FACT: NOT FIT FOR thejob ofPOTUS.........or to be a big player on the world stage.

Even the queen looked like she could not wait to see him move on. ( in reception meet and greet) Yet she greeted other leaders with smiles and a warm expression.

FACT: Trump has NO likability factor.........and the world is just waiting until he is out of office. Well...he might still be useful to Putin.

Trump can't seem to get along with ANYONE ..........except maybe Putin and Kim.

The FACT IS that is that if Trump DUMPED ALL HIS Conservative values......................


and began aggressively supporting LIE-beral values..........................


then LIE-berals would LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals are such two faced power mad hypocrites........................



that if Trump became a staunch LIE-beral then women like Warren and AOC....................


WOULD BE LINING UP to let Trump grab their crotches.........................


just to persuade him to REMAIN ON THEIR SIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I think Pelosi has A LITTLE more class than the others by the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals are TRULY INCENSED that Trump offers up more creative and cutting insults than LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As for Justin Trudope being called two faced................................


the TRUTH IS WHAT IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
