Things have gotten bad with this guy leading the country, focusing on identity politics and creating division.
LMFAO, as opposed to the CPCs focus, which has been...identity politics and creating division?
At least the Liberals had an actual costed platform that benefitted Canadians, even if they over-promised and under-delivered.
What's the CPCs platform again? "Fuck you poors, minorities, and women; I got mine."?
Talisker is probably the least smokey on that list. The Talisker Storm bottles are very tasty.
Ontario PCs: "We're cheating as hard as we can, but it's just not working!"
Just like amalgamation wasn't a panacea, breaking it up won't be either.
UCP is just creating a take-profit grift for their corporate consultant buddies, while at the same time bemoaning a "broken system" that - reminder - they created.
Win-Win for the Cons. Completely transparent lunacy for anyone with a functioning rational brain.
Got worse because of population growth and chronic PC / UCP underfunding. The slow decline in quality is a perfect front for blaming public services so that these jackals can introduce private healthcare for the monied class, and leave the poors to a continually worse public system.
All of this wouldn't be an issue if Albertans were more interested in voting FOR their best interests instead of AGAINST whatever endlessly shifting boogeyman the Cons are currently trotting out.
The residential heating oil concessions represent a miniscule amount of the total carbon taxes while maximizing carbon emission reduction intensity.
It's a good trade-off, although their messaging on why the change happened was sloppy. Keeping the tax as is and avoiding this debacle, and then further enhancing the incentives to change would have been my preferred method.
Fucking ludicrous that we allow this degree of consolidation in an industry that's already an incredibly strong oligopoly.
Better let Bell buy Rogers next. We only need one of each business anyways. /s
The very literal Energy Transition policy of the clown car occupants that make up Alberta's UCP government.
Fuck the people of this province who saddled us with these goddamned selfish goons.
Eh, I don't think there's much of an argument for UBI to not be means-tested. If it's meant to be a basic support so that people can maintain dignity through their most difficult time, I doubt you're seeing people choosing early retirement. Besides, OAS and GIS are already means-tested basic income for seniors.
As for big inflationary force? Maybe? But the idea that lifting a limited portion of the population out of the worst of financial circumstances will cause problematic inflation is pretty laughable. Economists still don't know what actually causes inflation, apart from the expectation of inflation.
Gee, I wonder if this has anything to do with the CPC not taking a strong public stance against political violence and vigilantism? Maybe the fragile losers in the "Fuck Trudeau" flag waving crowd shouldn't have had their paper-thin egos stroked quite so hard?
These old guard Reformers need to hurry up and start feeding the worms already. Fuck off, Preston.
