RACK OTIS for the

I still reacon that it is their's to do with as they see fit.
If they want to ignore their moral responcibilities, so be it.
What goes around ~ comes around.


Here is another example of Alberta's current poli_character, or lack there of.

The richest province in Canada see's nothing wrong with giving it's undesirables financial incentives to leave the Province.
Welfare recips, mentally challenged, and various rif-raf draws on their elitist society are being offered cash and one way bus tickets to move to ANY OTHER province of their choosing.

Sure; a province in the best position to obsorb this type of drain on it's system - dumping even more of a strain onto the backs of other provinces who are already hard pressed and in far less of a position to withstand even more negatives on top of their own - would be considered 'Bode' by those living in this country's newly prosperous and quickeningly becoming 'The Canadian Ugly', still; for the rest of this less fortunate country, Alberta's incorrigibly unCanadian act speaks volumes about the greedy mindset which is currently running their poli-show, as well as does a decent job of exemplifying the true selfish uncaring nature of a citizenry which would want to keep a greed infestation in power.

It's hard to even think of 'em as being Canadian anymore.
Grates Alberta, you are doing both Bu$h and Hitler proud.

Bullshit. That is exactly what's wrong with this country. Sharing the wealth just leads to continually supporting tax and spend provincial governments.

Funny how we tell our chidren it is good to share. Yet we don't think sharing a good idea for ourselves.

And we wonder why children rebel.

:roll:

What you two assclowns are talking about is not "sharing". It is taking. Sharing is a voluntary act.

Now what do parents tell children about taking things that do not belong to them?

You are very conflicted.

Government of Alberta to Issue "Screw You, Rest of Canada" Cheques to Each Resident of the Province


As global oil prices continue to skyrocket and corresponding revenues keep flowing into the oil-rich province, Alberta's coffers are overflowing. Government estimates indicate the province's surplus could be as much as $8.8 billion this fiscal year. Consequently, Premier Ralph Klein has announced that every resident of the province he has ruled like a Hapsburg king lo these past 386 years will be getting a big fat prosperity payday of 400 dollars.

"We have to do something with all of this extra cash we've got lying around," said the Conservative Premier at a press conference to explain how the dividend will work. "We quite literally have more money than we know what to do with. I stubbed my toe this morning on a big bag of hundreds in my garage.

Totally out of character, the Alberta Premier became testy when an insolent reporter from Upper Canada had the temerity to question him about Alberta profiting from high energy prices while Canadians are about to face enormous increases in their heating bills this winter. "Look! It's our money! Get your grubby Central Canadian hands off of it!" barked the Premier. "We'll do what we want!

"Bring on some more goddamned hurricanes!"

Despite the province's apparent generosity and benevolence towards its citizenry, the prosperity dividend program has been subject to criticism from certain Albertans with book-learnin' and the like.

"Just throwing money at the people of Alberta when it could be used to address real problems that the province is facing is incredibly short-sighted. It's poor stewardship of the public purse," said Professor Duncan Keptorium of the Drumheller School of Economics. "This surplus should be spent on big honkin' corporate tax cuts, or something equally socially responsible."

Klein, however, would have none of it.

"Sure, special interests like schools and hospitals have suggested that we re-invest the surplus into that sort of useless crap, but that's not gonna happen. That might be what the academic elites want, but it's not what Henry and Martha want. They told me so, "said the premier of the mysterious couple to whom he keeps making cryptic references, and who had been assumed to be fictitious archetypes.

Added the Premier, who's also an expert on the political history of Chile: "We should reward ourselves! We're stinkin' rich because we're lucky enough to live in an area where the dinosaurs happened to die!"

"Uh, well, that and my...governing...it's the dinosaurs, and my fiscal discipline."

Response from everyday Albertans to their forthcoming 'Ralph bucks' appears to be positive. Henry Van Peersie, a 24-year-old pipefitter from Calgary, was very enthusiastic when told 400 tax-free dollars were coming his way shortly from mother government: "Sweet! I'm gonna buy me a custom leather cover for my Honda's stick-shift, and I'm gonna put a great big Nike swoosh decal on the back window of my car," said Van Peersie.

"Wow, 400 bucks-that's gonna buy a whole lotta soup-in-a-cup," added Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Smyth, when asked to comment on the dividend program by a confused sports reporter. Smyth, a native of Banff, will earn $3.5 million dollars this season.

Alberta Finance Minister Shirley McClellan, who was hiding behind a curtain at Klein's press conference, added that those with no address can just go to the Premier's official residence, and he'll be sure to throw at least a few bucks worth of quarters at them. "Ralph's real good at throwing money, especially change," said Minister McClellan.

Each and every Albertan will receive one of six different special 'Screw You, Rest of Canada' commemorative cheques in the mail in the next six weeks.

I like it!

GLiberals like Dingwall and Oulette have been cashing these cheques for years now.
