Too bad nobody bothers to constantly hammer this point so the public can see it.
Maclean's piece on how our politics has become polarized just like the US and how moderates have fled the CPC, any overtures they do like marching in pride parades is window dressing.

And remember. Despite all of that their base is still 25-30% of the population... under an electoral system that only needs 35-40% for absolute power.

However, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, who has the job of repairing relations with the province, and Natural Resources Minister Seamus O'Regan are widely believed to be tilting towards approving the project, while many other cabinet members remain undecided.
I dunno. Liberals gonna Liberal.
It'll be great to spend all that money so the CPC can complain about the deficit and try to get the Liberals voted out.
If you have a car, keep a shovel in there. Trust me.Recently(October) arrived here.

I didn't even notice he was banned again. It's like he never learned that once you're banned then it's easier to get banned the next time.All these talks about stronger provincial governments would give Gutter an ulcer :p
Yeah someone mentioned it earlier. It's actually worse than Ontario's public sector negotiated freeze which is surprising.

They already paid out thousands of employees through early retirement incentives and negotiated 1% increases for the rest of the CBA. I guess we'll see how negotiations go when the current agreement is up, but if the shenanigans with teachers is any indication, you'd think they would want to consider avoiding more strikes.
Nope, you pretty much got eveything nailed down.So in Alberta:
- Public sector wage freeze/reduction.
- Tax credits for tech reduced/removed?
- Increase tax credits for oil and gas sector?
Am I right or wrong on those points? Anything I'm missing?

Someone should remind the Liberals these kind of handouts won't make Albertans like them any more than they do now. In fact, they may like the Liberals less because true Albertans pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
Handouts for me, not for thee.Someone should remind the Liberals these kind of handouts won't make Albertans like them any more than they do now. In fact, they may like the Liberals less because true Albertans pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
Everything about this is horrific.The first sound was a snowmobile, somewhere in the distance.
Then, with no warning, a dozen RCMP vehicles, including prisoner vans and RCMP-branded Suburbans, roared out of the pre-dawn darkness and stopped just short of the watch camp where Wet'suwet'en land defenders have been resisting a court-ordered evacuation of their lands to make way for a pipeline in northern B.C.
...
Backed up by tactical officers, dog teams, and drones with infrared sensors, dozens of RCMP officers began raiding Wet'suwet'en land defender camps shortly before 5 a.m.
...
One RCMP officer repeatedly threatened a VICE reporter and another journalist with arrest, ordering them out of the camp while they conducted arrests.
yupAll these talks about stronger provincial governments would give Gutter an ulcer :p
God, this is so aggravating.So in Alberta:

GVH: Well let me give you another example. Under the treaties investors are entitled to something called 'full protection and security'. Now what that has been interpreted by arbitrators in some cases to mean, among other things, that the government has to protect the investors' property, assets, from public opposition and public protest. So let's imagine that there are blockades of the pipeline as it's being built through British Columbia, let's say by native groups and by environmentalists. The Chinese will have an expectation, backed by the treaty, that the Canadian government through its police, through the courts, will take strong steps to protect the Chinese investors' business plans from public opposition.
CL: And suddenly the onus is placed on the federal government to uphold this agreement, and their loyalty will in some sense be split between preserving this agreement that they have with the company and also protecting the rights of the citizens.
GVH: Yes, exact. So the question that the government will now have to face is, how is it going to balance its obligations to respect Canadian democratic protests, including when it's actually effective in frustrating a pipeline, to balance that against its new obligations to provide full protection and security, backed by a very powerful international arbitration process, which tends often to favour the investors in its legal approach, and to provide that full protection and security under the treaty to Chinese investors. That's the question the government will now have presented for itself
FuckCutting funding for public advanced education institutions, while not cutting anything for Christian universities.
We don't deal with it. We embrace it. lolRecently(October) arrived here.

That this province elected this idiot wannabe Trump should be called constantly, especially around provincial election time.

To think that if Rob Ford never ran for mayor this fucker wouldn't have come back from Chicago to claim the "family" council seat. He's an American through and through, he was just born Canadian.

"What we're talking about there is delisting of carpal tunnel surgery, potentially trigger finger surgery, tubal ligation, breast reductions," NDP Leader Rachel Notley said on Thursday. "All those things are — tubal ligation, obviously — but the other ones are mostly women that require that type of treatment. So it's very distressing to see those kinds of services that matter a great deal to women suddenly being deemed unnecessary."
She also noticed vasectomies were not on that list.
"I'm not quite sure why it is women's birth control [that] is somehow unnecessary but men's birth control carries on," Notley said.
"At the same time, we're telling women that if they do get pregnant they have to leave their community to deliver their baby, quite possibly, because we're looking at reducing maternity services in rural communities. It's kind of ironic."
Just curious where you got that number for it to be profitable?That mine is unprofitable unless oil is $75/barrel. It may never be built.
There's a bunch of approved projects that aren't being built either.
Not sure why they're making a big stink over it.
Here's a new one:

Abdominal hernias for adults (8,658)
