@david_parker This was never going to happen (even though I hoped it would).
They sent a letter to Calgary saying they are not going to be eligible for $65 million because the new council voted to rescind the blanket rezoning. The Liberals will always promise one thing and then do another.

@TrondFrantzen@grok They didn’t come into power until 2019… the hospital is done isn’t it?
They didn’t cancel any funding. My understanding is some funds were delayed but then reversed due to criticism. So… none. Just google things and your outrage dissipates pretty quickly.
@LUV2SKIPOW Ultimately, I think they are setting the stage to say that the election is rigged if (and possibly when) the NDP lose next election.
I spoke to one of my friends about this, I thought it was funny how the NDP are using Trumpian language/tactics. 😂
@LUV2SKIPOW I agree. Also, from the reading I did, the redistribution says the population in Calgary grew by 300,000 from 2011-2021. Since 2021 the population of Calgary grew by 300,000. So the whole gerrymandering thing is complete garbage to me.
@CilComLFC Strange, I thought the IRGC was Iranian. I didn’t know that stood for Irish Revolutionary Guard Corps. Seems like they’re employing the same tactics. I support the Irish people.
@JasminLaine_ They haven’t turned a profit in however many years. They won’t last 15 years. The interest on the original load is 25 million at 4%. I don’t think they’ll last 2 more years.
@JasminLaine_ I just listened to your report from the other day about Algoma steel. The math wasn’t adding up for me, saying they needed a matching amount of money. You said they would make a profit in 15 years. There’s no way. They lost almost a billion dollars in 2025.
Re: Western separation
I (Alex) am not from Alberta. My parents lived there during the economic downturn in the 80's, and my late father missed that majestic land for the rest of his life.
Here's my unsolicited thoughts:
Economics matter, but they aren't the MOST important issue (in my mind):
Economic issues are extremely important, because economic issues impact every aspect of human life and flourishing.
The so-called 'equalization' payments made by the West are unjust and obscene, and predicated upon socialist assumptions about human flourishing.
All citizens should desire to see the welfare of their fellow citizens, and the issue is not a willingness to help those in need.
Alberta has demonstrated through the giving of their blood and lives and treasure that they are a faithful member of the Dominion.
The issue is how best to help.
As every public institution has now demonstrated beyond doubt, the involuntary transfer of wealth from producers to consumers DOES NOT, in the long run, help the consumers.
Our healthcare is trash. Our public schools are trash.
Our money isn't used for the benevolent purposes which supposedly justify our giving.
This might actually be one of the best strategic reasons to secede: cut off the money supply to the corrupt State. We have subsidized our own ruin, and it's time it stopped.
Is there a place for emergency charity? Yes. Nobody disagrees.
Using a productive group to eternally fund an unproductive group is not charity or compassion or even civic duty; it is foolish.
The answer is to find solutions to turn unproductive provinces into productive provinces; not to save Alberta money, but to genuinely help those who live elsewhere.
A 'welfare' state has been ruinous to Canadian culture, and in a sad irony, undermines the welfare of those it claims to help.
On top of this, the Federal Government has intentionally demolished Alberta's means of production, which is tantamount to treason in a rational world.
'more bricks..less straw', as one ancient Dictator demanded.
But as serious as the economic issue is, there are more morally serious issues, which fall under the moral category of Self-Defence.
One of the pillars of the Christian worldview that undergirded Canadian culture is the inherent dignity of human life.
This is rooted in our being created in the image of God.
This is, in fact, the ONLY rational and coherent justification for human dignity and corresponding rights.
Any other justification is just arbitrary assertions.
One of the implications of the dignity of human life is the right to DEFEND human life.
Put plainly:
The Federal Government is the greatest threat to human life in Canada.
This is not hyperbole.
The Federal Government:
-Oversees the murder of our unborn, those with seasonal depression, and the elderly (even against their will). They call this 'health care'.
-Refuses to exercise their primary God-given duty to 'punish evil'. They put laws into place which invert justice and the nature of victimhood. Violent criminals go unpunished, inflicting violence on the innocent. The majority of murders are committed by repeat offenders, meaning they were entirely preventable.
This abdication to exercise justice in the defence of the innocent renders the Governing authorities disqualified from their office.
-Actively undermines the family and targets children for abuse: The Federal government has implemented legislation that criminalizes parental care for children, requires harmful lies to be considered sacred, and allows for child mutilation. This alone is worth going to war over.
-Refuses to defend our border from foreign threats: Canadian citizens have had their money taken to fund healthcare and housing for foreigners who hate our values and have no interest in bearing the sacred responsibility of citizens. Further, the State has allowed for money laundering by foreign states and criminal organizations to become our second-largest industry as a nation, bringing with it exponential increases in violent crime. Lastly, there are significant active terror cells operating in Canada who hate us and want to destroy us, all with State permission.
-Actively undermines all the bonds which unite citizens: Our Federal Government has actively sought to destroy the historic identity of Canada. They have sought to undermine our religious, moral, ethical, judicial, historical foundations through law and other coercive means (HR departments). In doing so, they have become enemies of the Canadian people and all that makes us a Nation.
The point:
The Federal Government is the greatest threat to Canadians, and protection from them is a matter of self-defence.
It is not about greed, or the unwillingness to share their abundance, and any suggestion of such is ignorant and ungrateful.
It is about the preservation of families, towns, and a people who are directly threatened with death and destruction daily.
This is not hyperbole.
Defending your people against threat is not sedition, it is your duty.
Protestant Resistance Theory includes the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates. This means that, essentially, it is morally justified, and at times necessary, to obey a 'lesser' magistrate when the 'greater' becomes corrupt to a degree that obedience would be immoral.
In our polity, the Provinces are Lesser Magistrates.
I believe we are at the point where Provincial leaders must defend their citizens against a corrupt Federal Government.
I fully support them in their pursuit of justice, freedom, protection, and the preservation of their way of life.
And I believe that the preservation of freedom anywhere helps people everywhere.
My flag is here in Ontario, as depressing and bleak as it is. It's my post and I have air in my lungs.
But I'll be cheering you on. Say a prayer for us when you think of it.
