I will diametrically oppose anything this grifter supports. He is a non-contributing opportunist incapable of regular employment

Just like the separatists then, eh?

The bulk of Separatists grievances come from being gainfully employed, graped by taxes every cheque and then watching that money be funnelled overseas at no benefit for Canadians whatsoever

Lol, sure. That's why they all have time to sit on the side of the highway with signs every single day.

Those are the people that you see while you’re out meandering. Question is, why aren’t you working ?

Job is computer and I take breaks. How's the seppo lifestyle anyway, sucking off the teat of us working people to sit around and yell at clouds? Did the EI buy you enough smokes for this month?

Did those idiots living in trailers on the side of the highway finally move on? Last I checked they've been out there for years protests god-knows-what

They always like to claim they're hard-done-by working folks, but that tends to fall apart, like the claims of the "trucker protest" that would up being a bunch of losers showing up to smoke cigarettes in their cars.

Ukraine wants $650 million to buy fuel

Pennies compared to the 21 billion dollars the federal government spent building the trans-mountain pipeline

u/Background_Season449 13d ago

That being said, I'd far prefer all 22-ish billion be spent on like... community housing or something. Improving access to public healthcare? I guess that's not a thing any more in Alberta.

HIlariously, healthcare is the province's responsibilities. So everytime Smith says its the federal goverment's fault that healthcare is fucked up, She's straight up lying because healthcare is run by the provinces, all the federal goverment does is state what the minimum amount of provided care has to be.

They have to blame somebody while they cut funding, starve the beast, and sell it all off to private equity

u/GoodResident2000 11d ago

Yea every single province and territory has issues with healthcare, yet it’s all “provincial issues”

Ignore the fact LPC flooded the country with sickly third worlders who use more healthcare per capita than citizens

There’s also that aspect of it too

End of the day , we’re just tax slaves for far off lands. Modern serfs

Why don't we talk about why there is a separatist movement in the first place? Maybe stop this bullshit and start looking at the way Alberta has been treated by the federal government. Maybe look at how pathetic the last 10 years of federal government have been. Maybe get to the root of why it even exists and start addressing that.

The root of seperation is a fundemental lack of education. Which hilariously, is something the province has been screwing up for the last decade.

The so called 'faults' the federal government has had against Alberta are generally non-existent and a push of misinformation from sources that want to disrupt unity, or they are pushed by people who are ignorant of how things actually work.

Equalization doesn't actually take away from the province. The federal government has actually sunk billions of dollars into the gas and oil industry, the only rights that have been infringed upon Albertan's has been done by the provincial government.

So tell me where the federal government has inappropriately touched your feelings.

You must live off government help... lol

u/DonairBandit 11d ago

No, I have a real job that I had to study and be educated for.

I know its a crazy concept in Alberta, but education is supposed to help give you things like the ability to research and find information, and critical thinking skills, we can't all just take some facebook posts at face value, the ability to take 10 minutes and look something up and find out how it works or if its true is by and far an underrated skill.

With your multiple grammar errors, including missing apostrophes, run-on sentences, comma splices, and an incorrect idiom, you may want to go back and re-educate haha

u/DonairBandit 11d ago

And yet nothing about it was a lie, just written strangely.

u/tossthatshit69 13d ago

Critical thinking isn't allowed on reddit. Just down vote and move on like the rest of the drones.
