Alberta wants to end revenue sharing but the rest of the country must send them help
Albertan self inflicted crisis now being cleaned up by the rest of the country goes largely unnoticed by selfish, greedy, redneck racists
Nothing satirical today - I’m too pissed off and do not feel the slightest bit funny.
Despite decades of federal aid being poured into the province of hatred, King Kenney is prepared to shut down any money flowing from Alberta to the rest of the country. Never mind the decades of Alberta sucking on Canada’s teat. Most recently to bail out and cleanup the mess caused by a failing (failed) energy sector. Very selective memories these hillbillies have.
And let’s not forget that the first of the federal medical staff arrived today to clean up the fucking mess that Kenney’s “Summer Is Here” disaster caused.
Nick tells me this stuff is nothing new in this shithole. He’s also promising me we can GTFOH soon. It’ll be nice to hear something other than middle school level English and Newfie being spoken.
Half a century ago, Nick and his ‘radical’ activist friends were warning the general populace and the powers that be that unless some sort of economy diversification takes place we’d be in trouble.
Peter Lougheed actually tried, and even the drunken Ralph Klein did his best, before the Reform party fucked up the governing of Alberta and western Canada for good. Formed under the banner of “The West Wants In” the Reformers did jackshit other than join the ever fragmenting right wing and ran the most opaque federal government outside the communist and dictator led world. Thanks to political opportunist Stephen Harper.
Now I’m just a cat but my cat sense tells me Alberta should join up with Texas.
