Canada still doesn’t have a coast to coast four lane highway, but it seems the bigger priority is to subsidize water systems for ratepayers in the oil patch. And then there’s the requisite mention of community centers, as if it were literally impossible for such entities to be financially self-sufficient. The mind boggles….
On Tuesday, the federal government confirmed a contribution of up to $29 million to the North Calgary Water Servicing project, funded through the Direct Delivery stream of the new Build Communities Strong Fund…
…$17.2 billion for provinces and territories, $6 billion for direct federal delivery on regionally significant projects and $27.8 billion flowing to local governments for roads, transit, water systems and community centres.
The notion of subsidiarity is history as the federal and provincial government’s priorities are to poach local votes with mana from heaven. local governments rationalize anything as an “investment” as long as they can get the loot from senior levels of Jacobins and Bolsheviks, a bankrupting pathology that transcends all electable parties. Despite there being three levels of government, there is only one level of taxpayer but that concept doesn’t register with the incurious grazers that vote.
On a bus was a sign at the front above the windshield.
This bus brought to you by:
Province 75%
City. 25%
Someone finished it with a felt pen.
Taxpayers 100%
Where is the mention of subsidising oil companies?
On the other hand, certain prime minister is completely out of control spending money that he does not have. It appears that he is passing the ball to his original posting as a banker. Borrowing it is. More and more as he goes along. The bankers are making money as if there was no tomorrow.
How is it that it apparently bothers nobody that the guy is borrowing and borrowing and borrowing without a thought of who, where, when and how is it going to be payed back.

Debt, nominal $2,926,593,314,218
Interest per Year $87,797,799,427
Debt per Citizen $77,005
Paying $1 every second would take 67,772 years to clear the balance.
Is it even possible for population of this country, approximately 40,467,728 people to cover a trillion dollars?
Who is going to pay?
… your ChiCom masters.
I agree that the federal gov’t shouldn’t be subsidizing municipalities for their waterworks.
I think what AB should do is not permit any of the people the federal gov’t permitted into the country in these past decades to access provinicial health care without paying directly for it, nor permit the children of these people to attend publically funded schools without paying for it.
Then we can talk about them driving vehicles on our roads…
and If the $29 million covers that, so be it, we could then argue which parts of federal spending are not serving the interests of the nation.
ALL of that resolutely undeniably permanently SOLVED the day after secession.
and a lot of other stuff. any financial ‘road bump’ or hiccup MORE than covered in time by the
instantaneous obliteration of transfer payments aka feds engaging in pickpocketing.
Still a lot of idiots who just can’t get enough up their asses from Ottawa.
Yes, but… but… but……
“…the federal government confirmed a contribution of up to $29 million to the North Calgary Water Servicing project…”
– THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS SPENDING MONEY ON ALBERTA!!!
The Federal gov’t is attempting to curry favour w/ one of the few sects of Alberta voters who will eat their shit: big city [spit] Progs.
Personally, I’d tell the Feds to shove it up their backsides.
Yeah, you figure with all the belly-ackin going on about transfer payments some people would STFU and just say fckng A.
But obviously its a pissant sum used to buy the votes of the uninformed citidiots of Calgree and Edmonton.
As well, you can’t fix the stupid that led to the waterpipe shitshow with a few million.

This. In spades.
It’s not just a drive, it’s an adventure.
GYM is a nonce.
We’ll mark it down against the almost trillion dollars Canada owes Alberta.
