No - I spout it because you are almost always off topic and your post proves it. The problem seems to be that you are too stupid to understand it.
Poor Bar Silly sister....he has nothing to say and says it so poorly!
Here is an old article illustrating that left wing political bias can make any situation worse! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Alberta NDP making a bad situation worse

What’s going on right now in Alberta is truly sad. A once proud economic gem of a province is being ravaged by incompetent provincial government policy decisions.
While it’s true Alberta’s NDP government inherited a tough economic situation, they’ve made the situation worse … much worse. All of Canada should be watching Alberta and taking note of “what not to do.”
(Sadly, this is Not the first NDP disaster that Cdns should learn from! All of Ontari-owe recalls very clearly the NDP/Bob Rae disaster!)
The first lesson is simple – when a province’s key industry is suffering, kicking it while it’s down won’t help. But that’s exactly what Alberta’s government did.
(NDP logic is NO LOGIC! Our former NDP doofus Bob Rae decided he could make Ontari-owe RICH if only he could borrow enough money! Rae doubled the provincial debt and utterly FAILED to make us rich- apparently NDP`ers do NOT understand about interest rates- compounded and amortized! Even worse- Our idiot Boy Justin is engaged in an even larger and more damaging version of “get rich with borrowed money”! Lefties ARE SLOW LEARNERS!)
When Premier Notley and fifty rookie NDP MLAs were elected in 2015, it was clear that Alberta’s oil and gas sector was hurting. Oil prices had plummeted sharply and significant job losses were forecast for the province.
Her government responded by announcing a “royalty review”, a committee that would consider raising the charges oil and gas companies had to pay the government. While the Notley government didn’t proceed with any significant increases, nine months passed before the decision was announced, creating uncertainty and damaging investor confidence in the mean time – especially when juxtaposed with other concerning decisions.
(Leftie thought process proceeds by silly leaps of logic- the idea of making hated oil companies pay more seems to please NDP`ers- none of whom ever saw a profitable business they approved of! The problem with hitting corporations with higher costs is that civil service union Hogs own so much of the corporate stock that higher costs for biz mean LOWER payouts to Hog stock holders. Oopsie!)
Once Premier Notley settled into office, her government hired a plethora of political staff who had been quite vocal against the oil sector and pipelines. Further, one NDP Minister, Lori Sigurdson, even went to B.C. during the federal election to campaign for a candidate who had organized anti-pipeline rallies. If you were a global CEO would you want to invest $300 million in a project located in a jurisdiction run by anti-oil politicians and senior staff?
(And how much less excited would your CEO be about investing if you knew the political leaders were knuckleheads who did not understand about interest rates?)
Early on, the NDP government also raised business taxes by 20% – another significant blow to the oil and gas sector and other businesses. The tax increase starved businesses of millions of dollars they could have used to reinvest in their companies and create jobs. That’s lesson two: raiding businesses for money – especially during a recession – makes no sense. Doing so only reduces the amount of money those businesses have to employ people.
(OH its leftie priority! Hogs NEED money NOW- but biz responds more slowly- meaning NDP can worry about worker layoffs later! That most of the layoffs would be for hated oil workers messing in those dirty tar sands gives NDP greater incentive Not to be sympathetic to oil workers!)
Notley and team have also introduced large personal income tax increases and have planned to increase gas and carbon taxes by $10 billion over the next five years. Her government has also introduced radical reforms to the province’s electricity sector – changes which some experts have suggested could lead to a tripling of rates. Instead of learning from Ontario’s electricity reform debacle, Alberta is importing the same failed plan.
(All this is typical leftie policy! Socialism is NEVER Wrong- though individuals sometimes do make mistakes! Thus any part of NDP policy exposed as a failure is simply dismissed as a one time accident and will not be repeated- by the same govt in the near future- but putting in a new set of leaders is a “reset button”- magically making stupid old failed ideas into fresh new ones- that have not yet been disgraced!)
Finally, the NDP government has also started to fulfill its reckless commitment to raise the minimum wage from $10.20 to $15.00 by 2018. How can businesses afford a 47% increase to labour costs in just four years in the middle of a recession? Many can’t.
(IT is a telling indicator that when Ontari-owe raised its minimum wage in January 2018- the first act of LIE-berals was to hire a bunch more tax auditors! One quick way for companies to survive extreme tax stupidity is to deal in CASH and leave no records for Hogs to trace! There is even an economic formula for this crap, which dictates that after taxes reach a certain level- govt stops getting more revenue and ends up with LESS- because after a certain point it is cheaper to HIDE money than to pay taxes! Alberta Ndp will be finding this out the hard way! Another way for companies to survive a stupid tax regime is to cut hours of work and fire older workers at the high end of the pay scale- hence all the “new” jobs being created in Canada by companies that have dumped high wage earners and replaced them with low paid workers who are made to work with contract positions and temp work and etc!)
Recent news stories have noted the steep minimum wage hikes as a contributing factor to business closures and layoffs.
The NDP government’s defiance of economic common sense has definitely taken a bad situation and made it worse. Many fear the province’s surging 7.8% unemployment rate could get even worse.
That brings us to lesson three – if you elect politicians who run on a reckless economic platform, don’t be surprised if your economy suffers as a result.
(The BIG problem here in Canada is the 55 plus percent of Cdns who do not vote- ever- in any election! Sadly for NDPers and LIE-berals it does look as if the general public is now sufficiently enraged by all the tax gouging- in favour of LIE-berals and Hogs- that the general public is going to come out in force in the next election! If the silent majority chooses to speak- then left wing policy is liable to take a hit that will need twenty years to repair!)
