Jason Kenney promises referendum on equalization payments if feds continue to push carbon tax

https://globalnews.ca/news/3846646/...payments-if-feds-continue-to-push-carbon-tax/

Looks like when the Conservative Party wins next election it will be Alberta and Albertans 1st.

Glad to say I’m a citizen of Alberta.!!

Kenney says he'll revisit it because of the carbon tax... This issue needs to be scrapped regardless of the carbon tax

 

[petros]

Carbon tax is a scam.

 

[captain morgan]

Carbon tax is a scam.

Its a PST, just in another name.

tater tot demanded it as he's already planning to claw-back transfer payments and tell the provinces that they can make up the shortfall from this new pst.

BC really needs a new leader. Can we borrow him on weekends? He won't have to shovel snow.

Even with PST of 6% I'm still paying less for gas than you are in CGY.

... And?

Folks in Edmonton are also paying less for gas than YYC

He'll save a whole 20 mins every 3 weeks.

Got a better reason?

How much per lite is your carbon tax?

Is the 3 cent difference thanks to carbon taxes on logistics?

 

[captain morgan]

I understand all of the costs, especially those related to proximity to the (refined) source, however, there is also a significant differential applied towards what the market will bear.

Case in point, occasionally, you will see that gas in Red Deer is more expensive than Calgary (and Edmonton) despite it being a 150 km closer to the refineries.

... Hell, just drive the 40 minutes from Calgary to Banff for a shocker and another 20 minutes onto Field where it's even more egregious

In the end, they are the only game in town and if'n you don't like it, well, walking is an option

 

[petros]

You have screws loose if you don't fill at the PetrosCanada just west of Calgary and top up again in Canmore. From there I can hit Salmon Arm or Chase which are reasonable. Field, Golden, Revelstoke, Stincamous all gouge the unexpected.

Gosh I thought Alberta was all about provinces cooperating with each other.

I guess that's just when it benefits them.

Gas is roughly $0.05 more expensive at the Petrocan at the Cochrane exit on the transcanada..... No one can tell me that it costs 5 cents more per liter to deliver that load under 10 minutes out of Calgary.

The reality is that it's more expensive there 'cause they can charge that much

Gosh I thought Alberta was all about provinces cooperating with each other.

Not since Horgan decided to pretend he can form federal legislation.

Alberta should Albexit and then see if the feds will fight for their pipeline.

 

[Hoid]

In Canada they will not be able to exit with a simple majority in a referendum. Like a bunch of idiots.

I'm sure the US would happy to accommodate them.

Yes because the US is all about trade right now.

It will be a formal trade deal as if with another nation.

BC and/or the Feds can take it or leave it.

... Probably a lot of money to be made on tolls on the Transcanada and the CPR/CN railways though

Why, do you not agree with democracy? If the majority of people in one region don’t want to belong to Canada, why can’t they peacefully depart.

Um, because the separation would also create a physical separation between BC and the ROC. People traveling to or from BC would need to bring extra ID like passports just to travel through AB. Flights originating in BC or the ROC would have to advise the US govt of every passenger that boarded a flight if the flight path took it over AB, which would be a US state in your scenario.
In the case of Quebec separating, do you honestly think they were going to leave with their current borders intact? Do you really think the Fed would have permitted Quebec to cut off The Maritimes from the ROC? So why would you think they'd let it happen with BC?

In 1998 the CSC ruled on the idea of secession. Here's the short version. A province can secede from Canada if and only if its residents vote to do so AND the other provinces and territories agree to the secession. A province cannot unilaterally separate on its own.
