I don't think we are so opposed, and I don't even think PST in AB is a bad idea, I just see the Alberta hate train as a misunderstanding of, or blindness to the easts role in these matters and the current situation as a response to that

Albertans fall into higher brackets and do pay more. I know the rundown of equalization, just 'cus its the fed dont make it fair. The issue is biting the hand that feeds, beneficiaries of these transfers veto the further development of economies in the west, while everybody runs defecits.

All I say is that Alberta could pay its own budget if it wasn't paying other provinces budgets with those fed dollars (which im not totally against btw)... again, ontop of that AB has the lowest debt. Starting PST could certainly run a surplus but why do that? asking for a fair deal is preferable.

Zoidberg, why? you just prove my point. All that stuff is not fine, but 2 wrongs don't make a right. I bet you feel like you've really shown me by employing horribly devicive rhetoric with a level of toxic tone that not even the people you like to criticise possess.

Bluesky is worse than twitter in some ways when it comes to the petty mindless misinformed mobbing of 'opponents'. Nobody thinks twice if it feels like political points are scored.

Alberta is the least indebted province... this is a terrible take considering Alberta could easily pay its own debt if it had full control over the tax money it collected from Albertans

- economic drive... those opposing are typically hereditary chiefs, however most Band governments are in favor since the pipeline economically benifits under-employed, deprived reserves along the way, creating a net positive, the controversy comes from due reverence not being paid... thats it.

I've lived in Dawson Creek and Terrace, traveled many times through the pipeline corridor. There is much rhetoric asserting first nation autonomy, its more a matter of that than the project itself, I found the pipeline most controversial in the Hagwilget area around Hazelton, It comes down to Band..

Ontario is 77% teritary sector, fed almost entirley by actual industries.. manufacturing in Ontario is important but is only like 11% of its GDP.. again there is no teritary sector without these other sectors and Ontario is BLOATED in teritary terms, inflating its actual importance beyond necessity

that is less than 13% of the Ontario GDP. And it is certainly important work, The issue is administrative bloat in Ontario that complicatates, and ought to be challenged IMO, im not a conservative in any way but me being from the west I experience the issues and understand the stink being made

The score wasn't about affordability. it was about (in the word of the article) "failing to adopt better building codes, encourage factory-built housing and regulate construction in flood-prone areas" bureaucrat stuff. Like getting the right answer in math class but losing marks for not showing work

Ontario has a population over 3x Alberta. Ontarios economy is 3/4 teritary... people across the country feed Ontario by having buisness centred out of Ontario... resource extraction hard hats in BC, Alberta, Sask have their companies ran and financed in Ontario... artifically bloating their economy.
