@xllenial@mario4thenorth He did not shit on it. He stated he is a federalist, yet understands why some Alberta's want to separate, and shit on the cause of it.
@ChadNedohin@Joelake210793@david_parker We can be angry about the billions sent to other countries, and mad that the government over taxes us and gives a few of the citizens a small portion of it back, instead of taking less from all of us.
@ChadNedohin@david_parker This isn't money printing, it is giving a small portion of the population very little of their tax money back.
It is the GST rebate with a new name.
@ikwilson In 2025, Ottawa received $68.8 billion in total revenue from Alberta. In 2025, the Government of Alberta received roughly $13.3 billion in federal funds.
A difference of $55.5 billion... I think Alberta will manage the costs of buying out federal lands.

โWhen the people speak clearly, the obligations of those in power changes. This is democracy functioning exactly as designed. That is what the day after looks like
This referendum is not a tantrum. It is not rebellion or a negotiating tactic. And it certainly is not treason.
A referendum is one of the simplest and most direct expressions of the democratic will of the people.
Even the Supreme Court of Canada has been clear on this point. And this cannot be ignored.
Albertans are law-abiding people. We do not rush change but when change becomes necessary, we meet it responsibly.
And we know all why this moment has arrived. We see it in our daily lives, in rising costs, declining services, and growing distrust in the institutions meant to serve the public.
The reason Albertans are demanding better government is simple: the system is no longer delivering what it promised.โ
@Phokse_Guy@MichelleLA1981 A lot of it is not easily inhabitable.
Besides that, growing the population without the infrastructure to support them in idiotic.
@HammerTime_11@olafson_m@mario4thenorth That doesn't negate the fact that way more than our infrastructure could handle were let in. Its going to take years upon years to even try to catch up.
๐จโBUT PIERRE VOTED AGAINST STOPPING FLOOR CROSSINGโ๐จ
In 2012, 142 Conservatives voted the same way.
Thatโs party discipline, and a whipped vote.
When MPs were free to decide in 2005?
He voted to STOP it.
