Alberta Bashing, Again!

All right, this Liberal/Bloq/NDP trick of bashing Alberta to win votes in the rest of Canada is going to come back to bite them.

Watching question period sure opens your eyes about the Bloq. They do not support the war in Afghanistan, but when a contract for military equipment gets awarded, they start yelling about how they DESERVE 60% of that contract work. Well, okay, you can have 60% of a 3 billion contract, if Alberta doesn't have to send you 11 billion in return, just to keep your sorry, non-working butts in Canada.

The NDP, they want tougher restrictions on the oil sands, if they would just think about that (I know that's a foreign concept), they would realize that means fewer tax dollars to get spent on their favorite special interest groups, or that wonder of a healthcare system, they support.

The Liberals, are just about as bad as the Bloq, all they want is to raid Alberta's resources, NEP II on the way folks.

"In particular, greenhouse gas emissions from oil sands activities are of increasing concern and have yet to be tackled head on. As one witness from the Pembina Institute put it, Canada risks becoming known 'not as an energy superpower but as a superpolluter'."
It says the Alberta government owns the oil sands and should determine the pace of their development, but Ottawa also has jurisdiction to intervene through legislation such as the Fisheries Act and the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.
"The committee recommends that the federal government, specifically the Department of Natural Resources, base all of its actions in the area of oil sands development on sustainable development and polluter pays principles."
It recommends a firm limit on greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands, saying they should be developed in a way that doesn't jeopardize Canada's obligations under the Kyoto Protocol.
The Alberta government is likely to react strongly to any suggestion of a stronger federal role in the development of the oil resources.

The Alberta government is likely to react strongly? Are you kidding, the Alberta people are likely to revolt and separate!

Why will all this energy grabbing and Kyoto garbage fail? Well, Newfoundland/Sask/Ab, all have oil, so if they see a tax grab happening in AB, they have to know it will happen to them too. Next, if oil subsidies have to go, so do all the government subsidies, so, Ontario with the auto sector gets hurt, and Quebec with Bombardier gets hit. That leaves only BC as a have province, until they come after their forestry and mining industries.

Why would the Liberals want to kill off the golden goose? They know we will never vote for them, EVER, so they have nothing to lose by Alberta bashing. The Bloq, same deal. The NDP, well they just have their heads on backwards, and they actually think they are going forward.

Added to all the lefty political parties bashing us, we get Suzuki, coming to an ELEMENTARY school and bashing our Prime Minister. They are all doing such a good job of isolating Alberta, that we just might isolate from the rest of Canada, the only thing keeping Alberta from doing that, is that the Conservatives are in power, and Albertans are stronger supporters of Canada, than any other province.

None of these parties mention that Alberta is the only debt free province (not deficit free, DEBT free), and that we got there by taking a 20% reduction in jobs. We sucked it up, and got it done. We should be the shining example of how to make a province work, yet all we get is Alberta bashing.

But, beware, we will only be raped for so long in the name of Canada.
