Alberta Socialism

[Hopalong]

Good luck, Alberta residents, with the budget.
Should indicate how fast and how far NDP government wants to go with socialism.
Used to think that, if nothing else, Saskatchewan
CCF and NDP governments were a lesson that socialism was not the answer to market driven economies.
If modest price regulation is good, as with minimum wage, why is more not better?
Moderation in all things?

Nothing much will change in the first year, especially with a federal election this fall. Next year will be a different story though.

It is prudent to be afraid this time.

Afraid of what.

CP is in the process of tearing up a rail line from hodgeville to moose jaw with viterra helping them by mothvalling a 10000 tonne facility.

Trading off salvage value of rail line and a concrete elevator for 100 million in highway repairs.

Hopefully the next group has more sense. The existing group are well past giving a shit.

Surface lease revenue on crown land will go back to the government. Ab cowboys enjoy the $100 a year instead.

There is no doubt the decision makers we have had for too long needed a kick in the ass.
And when your little own backyard pet peeve is taken care of who cares if we go too far the other way. Business and industry large and small will always be there right?

Their chief of staff to the Energy minister is an anti-oil activist from Toronto.
The education and background of their finance minister is social work.

Alberta is in for 4 years of being ruled by left wing loons.....it's too bad they couldn't of learned from Saskatchewan or Manitoba.
