Arlene Dickinson on Danielle Smith: "I find it difficult to believe that she is not trying to push a separatist agenda and if she isn't then she's doing a really poor job of governing and showing people what she really cares about."
You want change, have transparency and bind it with financial consequences. Here is one idea.
Alberta sends roughly $13 billion a year in net fiscal transfers to the rest of the country. The largest recipient is Quebec, followed by Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and, to a much smaller extent, Ontario.
What if accepting its share of that transfer came with a simple condition: provinces must publicly affirm that they will not oppose Canadian resource development, including pipelines or other infrastructure that may require right-of-way access through their jurisdiction.
If a province chooses to object, it would forfeit its share of those funds, which would then be redistributed among the provinces that are prepared to support national resource development.
Then watch what would happen. Think this would work?
Before Monty Python's "Life of Brian" became a classic, @JohnCleese told me it was radioactive. No studio wanted to touch it.
Enter George Harrison, who had the means, taste, and spine to make sure it existed. Free expression and comedy need that courage.
🎶 Absolute goosebumps.
The Petersens— “Blowin’ in the Wind.”
Julianne Petersen’s warm, soulful lead vocals paired with those tight family harmonies turn Bob Dylan’s 1962 classic into pure bluegrass magic. Intimate, emotional, and absolutely breathtaking.
@timhoven Alberta is going to have a lot of mental health problems with lack of morning light. This is dumb and Albertans said no previously. I guess Smith doesn’t care.
.@PeteHegseth, my grandfather served in World War 2. He carried a small, piece of paper in his pocket the whole time, on which he wrote his favorite Bible verse. It would mean so much to our family, especially my grandfather, if you could recite this verse at your next speech:
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." — Jesus Christ
