Steve Jones, Renfrew.
Honestly, Canada, please, what are we going to do about Alberta? You know, the province with a significant population of grievance-filled belly-aching, hate-filled whiners, the biggest crybabies of Confederation by far, so bad they make Quebec look like a solid team player.
So now they want to blow up the Canada Pension Plan and create their own. The reason for that? Is it to make pension payouts for Albertans larger? Is it to move forward with a positive idea of unquestioned merit? Or is it just simply another way to spit in the eye of the federal government?
Alberta government politicians, particularly the United Conservatives currently in power, are the only Canadians willing to burn down their own house to make a really lousy point. They replaced Jason Kenney, a world-class sack of meanness, with Danielle Smith, who has an even bigger chip on her shoulder, as premier. I guess they just couldn’t get enough bitterness, grievance, hate and vitriol out of Kenney, and believe me, he was all that. So they opted for Smith.
Go Alberta.
The UC’s figure that a province with 16% of the Canadian population is entitled to some 56% of Canada Pension plan assets, something you get when the math gets skewed by your visceral dislike for the rest of Canada and the need to scapegoat Liberals endlessly.
The Alberta government invested tax dollars and bought advertising in Ontario to, perhaps elsewhere. to slag the federal government, specifically the Liberal government they hate so much. We have a conservative government here in Ontario as well, but it looks nothing like the one in Alberta, a pack of barking dogs. Ours, by comparison, looks poised and mature, and that’s saying a lot.
How is it that so much anger has concentrated in one section of the country? And just to be fair, Saskatchewan is another place precariously perched on the precipice of anger and revolt, sentiment fed to them by their governing politicians politicians with political agendas that have nothing to do with the well-being of their constituency.
They are masters of that great political strategy of cutting off one’s nose to spite their face. Ready and willing to shoot themselves in the foot, over and over again, all because of being blinded by bitterness, anger and grievance towards another part of the country and the federal government of what they consider to be an enemy political party.
Some Alberta politician, maybe Stephen Harper, once suggested that a firewall should be enacted around Alberta to insulate it from the rest of the country. With their historical inclination to vote in governments hostile to federal governments and Central Canada, it makes me wonder where I might be able to send the materials to help with that.
