It is no surprise that the city of Calgary is trying to transfer liability for property tax increases to the province.

The City did not mention the years of education partially reduced in our tax bill, but never returned to taxpayers. If they don’t have room to help themselves and return it to tax rate payers, our property tax will be greatly reduced.

We recently had a city manager warn the council that we were not financially continuing all the major projects on the wishlist, but they failed to pay attention to this suggestion.

Some MPs listened, while others rob taxpayers while not wearing masks and admitted mismanagement.

(This time it was the province that upgraded taxes to the city’s shoulders. Although not a reason for previous mismanagement.)

BC is not the right example

When I read Mr Wiebe’s letter on Friday, comparing Prime Minister Smith to a blunt child, I realized he had no evidence, except that BC is vulnerable and short-sighted. If you haven’t been overlooked for over a decade, it’s easy to walk with the federal government. You might say that Alberta has obtained the axes since the founding of NEP. If you are Alberta and Saskatchewan, you should rest assured that eventually your administration will stand up and stop talking about abuse and be taken for granted by the Fed. We want to be seen as equal. No more, neither. What Smith does is what Quebec has been doing for decades and advocates equality.

Go to Sundre!

So this weekend I picked up some groceries at Sundre and gasoline costs 13 cents cheaper. Whose logic gets us into trouble in Calgary?

vote

The question of referendum may or may not be asked does not mean that separation is inevitable. If the petition has enough signatures to become a referendum, more than half of the votes are still required. Everyone can easily pick up one side. If Canada wants to take Alberta seriously with its desire to prosper (only benefit the entire country) or continue riding the Golden Goose until it is empty, the action now will be answered soon. Inheritance may not happen, but it may take advantage of equality.
