Oh I do not want to hear Circle Back ever!!!
Awesome Danielle ,thanks for sticking to your program
We need alot more family doctors,my doctor of 53yrs retired and now I can’t find one
Family doctors spend a lot of time and money trying to get paid from the governments. They should be doctor’n.
A problem in every province
No worries, they already spent money, they don’t have, for some 88 new F-35 planes.
Love Danielle Smith! Thanks for thinking about the seniors and disabled!
Woah, Alberta doesnt have a provincial tax. Thats soo awesome !
That’s also why they are chronically broke. They depend upon the Fed to fund critical infrastructure (like a pipeline).
@Stephen RiouxAlberta is not broke, it’s the feds that got their hands in Alberta’s cookie jar.
Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney inherited a debt of $200 billion from Trudeau, and turned it into $514 billion by the end of his term. His deficit was over $40 billion. To bring it down, the Mulroney Government started selling Crown assets and they introduced the Goods and Services Tax – the hated GST.
You have a gst too that is so gross. Thanks to mulroney criminal.
The federal government has billions in surplus and wont help the provinces with health care. Also think the union leadership for health care needs constructive leadership as well.
Not if you’re listening to PP. The debt is so big that we are buried in it. You guys need to keep track of your fibs.
Don’t wait for Ottawa. Proceed with Sovereignty. Alberta can be culturally safe. Eventually.
Ukraine on 🔥 Oliver Atone, can explain who wants Sovereignty
Vashi, you’re the only person who can get to the bottom of this. What is Ottawa asking for from the provinces ?
Bring them all on live tv so general public can see what’s going on
Just imagine actually having a Prime Minister like this!
Vote PPC
@Ann Sumner Then you’ve voted Liberal.
I believe in the equalization, BUT, provinces should be required to make improvements to their economy and ONLY be reimbursed via equalization payment once they’ve made those improvements. Then once a province has equalized it’s economy it no longer requires the payment.
It’s simple, be useful or get nothing.
Alberta funds health care all over Canada
Hands off Canada!
As I have stated, the provinces are quite capable of legislating themselves. Every province has its own resources that provide a sustainable province. These revenues should be used within the province for the citizens of the province. It really is simple. Only those corrupt politicians in the federal government make it complicated as this is the way they hide their corruption. Just a thought. 🤔
Oh, BYW, leave Canada 🇨🇦 once you’re out, I’ll gladly apply for citizenship
12 billion surplus, docs, nurses and ambulance techs are fighting for pay and just quiting altogether , we need more envelope cash so we can write Ralph Klein checks . Can’t make this up .
Healthcare is subsidized, just like Military-EMT-Firefighters-Police. Requires 30% increase, not complicated. Wages need to be recoupled to productivity. CPP & OAP below poverty rates, 15k a year
We need accountability from the federal government for the tax dollars they spent on everything. Why are they only concerned when it comes to health transfers
And this is ladies and gentlemen what happens when you don’t sell your soul to the umbrella.
Provinces should collect tax and give Ottawa a small piece. Keep them in line.
