UCP Warns of Bad-News Budget, but Denies Responsibility

[Hamloc]

You guys gotta a problem with paying taxes at the same rate as everyone else in the country?

Ontario's total economy is far larger than Alberta's without the luck of sitting on a large oil reserve that generates a higher GDP per capita in Alberta.

It sucks to be rich in resources? Poor Alberta.

Chuck2, was just reading an article on B.C.’s projected deficit in it’s upcoming budget, a projected deficit of $11.2 billion. Hmm where is your outrage? Eby is planning to fire 2000 civil servants. An NDP government.

Chuck, I see you use AI sometimes.
Ask AI how many provinces in Canada have undeveloped O&G potential?

Most of Atlantic Canada has undeveloped shale but has fracking bans.

Quebec has a huge shale gas reserve but have policy that says no O&G development of any kind.
Easier to collect stabilization from Alberta O&G?
How does that make sense?

Kind of like back in the suitcase for graduation days in NDP Saskatchewan.
The joke was Oil stopped right at the Alberta border.
It was government policy, not a lack of resources.

LNG is a big opportunity, we aren’t doing anything to capture those dollars, wonder if we still live with, “ lock it in” mentality.

Well the actual B.C. Budget was released today. A record $13 billion deficit projected for the coming year, some tax increases, job cuts, and more large deficits for the foreseeable future. Where is the outrage Chuck2?

Chuck2, here is another unfortunate tragedy you missed. Woman goes to a Winnipeg emergency January 4, waits 12 hours before being told her sickness is a virus and is sent home. But her condition worsened and she returned by ambulance on January 15 waiting 11 hours before being admitted. A CT scan revealed pneumonia in Stacey Ross’s lungs. But shortly after she went into cardiac arrest.
This is in NDP Manitoba. Wab Kinew ran on fixing health care. What happened Chuck2? This must be Danielle Smith’s fault or no doubt Donald Trump caused this.

Lots pf problems with healthcare in every province. The difference is Alberta has the fiscal capacity with the resource sector to fix healthcare in Alberta with more spending but chooses to split it up into 5 different segments so it can be more easily privatized.

That way they can give special deals to party insiders by allowing them to charge higher rates. And if you raise an alarm about this corruption you will be fired. Its the UCP Alberta way!

Alberta has to many imigrants like the rest of Canada.
most popular baby name in Alberta is Mohommid.

[chuckChuck]

And why does that matter for healthcare?

[furrowtickler]

Our healthcare system was strained with 32 million , add 10 million over a relatively short period of time and all healthcare , education and social systems are completely overwhelmed
The Trudeau /Sign decade was completely irresponsible with mass immigration that has overwhelmed healthcare , just a fact
The liberals caused this problem, it should be the federal government should be responsible for fixing the provinces . The provinces had nothing to do with opening the floodgates to immigration

[LEP]

Healthcare, housing and crime issues all stem from increasing the population far too fast.

We need immigration to happen at a reasonable pace to allow infrastructure to grow with demand.

Trudeau and his groomsman Marc Miller are the idiot architects. Just totally incompetent.
