  1. Albertans, enjoy the Marxists many of you voted for. Maybe a lesson will be learned.

  2. From the article:
    Wildrose MLA Angela Pitt, who spearheaded the amendment, said the NDP owes Alberta charities an explanation for making “life more difficult” for the organizations across the province.
    The explanation is pretty simple: the government wants to crush the charities so that people dependent upon the charities will become dependent upon the state. More dependency on the state means more control and, of course, more public service unionized jobs.
    When the food banks shut down because they cannot come up with the funds to operate, watch for the province to take over the charities’ services under a new agency or ministry filled with public service union staff.

  3. Ken, we split the vote thanks to some conservatives living the David Dingwall dream and a spoiled liar running around with a two bit lawyer spreading lies about land use bills. Alberta is learning the lesson that Saskatchewan had to live for many years, if the level heads on the right in Alberta can just leave their egos at the door and get together, we will rid ourselves of this abberation.

  4. Who is the “right”? There is this talk of uniting the right and all that hooey.
    If the “right” is Stelmach, Redford, Prentice and that ilk, I sure won’t be uniting with them.

  5. You seem to understand the little bit by little bit.
    What you wrote is precisely what is going to happen.
    You may say everything goes according to socialist scrip from many years ago. Collected works of Marx, Lenin, Stalin and other such “Progressive” dictators.
    Yeah, little bit by little bit, they will get you…….

  6. There won’t be any need for food banks. Don’t you know that there’s no poverty or unemployment under socialism?
    (sarcasm off)

  7. Nothing more lucrative for governments than essentially taxing the same thing over and over and over again.

  8. The carbon tax in B.C. affects everyone, even government funded institutions such as hospitals and schools.
    The Vancouver school board last year was short about a million bucks due to having to pay carbon taxes.
    This tax is NOT “revenue neutral”,is simply a cash grab by desperate governments, we all recognize that fact, but the sheer insanity of shorting the budgets of schools and hospitals via carbon taxes is mind boggling.
    The GI gets a budget, it’s carbon taxed, then there’s a shortfall, and the GI has to go back to government for more money. Only upside is,I suppose, bureaucrats have more paper to shuffle as they pretend to be doing something useful while collecting their fat salaries/benefit packages that we pay for.
    Yes,Albertans, we TRIED and tried to tell you how much you’d come to love the NDP, as we did after 9 f***ing years of the swine running this Province into the ground,but apparently there are as many communists and “change for the sake of” types in your Province as there are here.
    Enjoy.

  9. “Revenue neutral” is simply the 21st century equivalent of “trickle-down”. Both terms are bafflegab designed to disguise the fact that they are simply means by which governments can and will confiscate one’s earnings.

  10. I don’t think there are a lot of commies here in Alberta unless, of course, one was to step onto certain areas of a university campus. There are, however, a lot of millennials who believe the world doesn’t just owe them a living and the perfect job, it is required to constantly shower them with unearned bounty.
    Look at how popular Sanders is with that age group. “Free tuition! Free stuff!” is something that they positively respond to.

  11. What would a socialist Alberta need with food banks anyways?
    The future is in bread lines.

  12. Albertans ALWAYS play the long game. They ride through business cycles, boom and bust and are pretty good at downsizing their ops during the tough sledding and going full throttle when opportunity strikes.
    Politics is no different. Albertans played the PC’s for a long time and maybe a bit too long but were OK with electing a bunch of naifs and Destroyers for the sake of getting rid of the PCe. Yes, it is tough times politically, but Albertans are used to that. They are not happy about it in the short term with it but will live with it because they play the long game.
    Right now the WRP is well ahead in Calgary and rural and are ahead of the PC’s in Edmonton. They would sweep the rural, take most of Calgary and leave the sillies in Edmonton to serve as opposition.
    Nothing the NDP will do in the next couple years cannot be undone. It is painful but you need to feel the sting of pain in order to appreciate what is good.
    It not a sprint. Its a marathon. Buckle in, stay the course and of course continue to highlight, mock and curse the stupidity. Albertans like SGR are doing a pretty good job showing just how DUMB these clowns are!

  13. Over the last 20 years many so-called progressives moved to Alberta to find work, and they carried with them that disease known as liberalism. Of course when the election came the socialist won and the people of Alberta will now pay the price. Progressives should never be allowed to control any jurisdiction.

  14. “Over the last 20 years many so-called progressives moved to Alberta to find work, and they carried with them that disease known as liberalism. ”
    Geez, is that right? Here I was, thinking all along that it was just because so many of your Alberta cowboys went to see Brokeback Mountain and discovered their true inner selves.

  15. No food banks are going to shut down any time soon.
    The Calgary Food Bank alone has over $2,000,000,000.00 in money under management.
    How much money do you think there is “invested” by all the food banks in the Alberta, Canada, USA and all over the world? That is one of the biggest business ventures with people handing them a whole lot of cash and good each and every day.

  16. All part of The Plan: starvation – energy starvation, economic starvation & then food, or more likely all wrapped up together. Remember those stories of little old grannies reduced to eating cat food? The end result of this is Maurice Strong’s wet dream of “…destroy the western economies…” & depopulate the world.
    Massive, slow moving genocide brought to you by your local LPOC & NDP, Green Parties. Frog boiling in other words. We’ll be doing our part it seems, as a test case of how far they can push this without losing their heads via the guillotine. Even so called “conservatives” are signed on, too. Must be money in it for them, or a bad case of the crocodile eats them last. See: Ezra Levant The Rebel Media.
    I don’t think voting is gonna work to reverse this crap.

  17. It wouldn’t be surprised if Red Rachel’s politburo has the motto:
    “We’ll finish what Lenin, Stalin, and Mao failed to complete.”
    After all, didn’t Uncle Joe and the Great Helmsman use starvation as a weapon to bring certain segments of their respective countries into line?

  18. “Free tuition! Free stuff!” is something that they positively respond to.’
    Exactly. This is the carrot that the commies dangle in front of the gullible LIVs.

  19. “I don’t think voting is gonna work to reverse this crap.”
    I say that as Brian Jean believes in “Mann Made Climate Change” himself. He’s too nice by half (and tainted by PC crap) to say what needs to be said on the subject. So, if his Party forms government next time around, is he gonna rescind Rachel’s carbon crap? Does he get into bed with those pseudo “conservatives” & compromise the Party’s platform to unite the right in order to do that? I’d have more confidence if Fildebrant was leader instead of Jean.

  20. Have also heard that schools, hospitals, etc., have had to defer essential maintenance because of the carbon tax. They just don’t have the money.

  21. Have you priced cat food lately? The little old grannies will be back in the tinned veg and beans section these days.
