@downinabramble @BaldeepDhurkot @PierrePoilievre Sure. That’s different from who’s responsible.

@brianlilley @WynnLasVegas Dude, is your defence of this conduct literally “Hey look, what happens in Vegas doesn’t actually stay in Vegas?” Really? No! Really??!!

[Trillium41 @SGallagher_BCON]

@MinorityFinge @Terrainstar @CoryBMorgan No difference to those individuals, but it does mean that AB doesn’t get to claw back its workers contributions for their pension plan. As I understand it the reason why AB contributes more is a younger and more working age population.

@MinorityFinge @Terrainstar @CoryBMorgan It doesn’t take too much to max out contributions, so Alberta’s high incomes aren’t all that relevant. Besides, if those with high incomes retire elsewhere, their contribution is hardly owed to Alberta.

@Pdiddy02069290 @SabrinaMaddeaux BC’s right wing government rolled out the red carpet for laundering with their approach to casinos.

@kalebra07 @Scorpio_Karen18 @CTVNews “Better someone on a most wanted list than an innocent person”?

This isn’t a force of nature. It’s not like a rock fell out of the sky into a crowded plaza and had to hit somebody. Why did someone have to be killed at all?

False dichotomy harder, my man.

@brianlilley 1. Land? Already got some.
2. Even if we don’t, no need for the cloak and dagger. Open process, man.

@Gurrzy4 @nlclarke1112 @DrexlSpivey18 @guitarguy3 @coreyhogan There’s no doubt that Alberta is growing, especially in folks years and years away from CPP. But how much is it a revolving door with bigger and bigger cohorts of new workers? I have a lot of friends and family who moved to Alberta for work for a few years and left.

[Trillium41 @SGallagher_BCON]

@KasanowskiEric @SteveSaretsky Money launderers aren’t over leveraged.

[Trillium41 @SGallagher_BCON]

@stphnmaher One way or another, we always have to.

[Trillium41 @SGallagher_BCON]

@alberta_free4 @coreyhogan @nlclarke1112 The data is fine, but doesn’t show what you think it does. Let’s say that AB and ON had the same number of people making the same number of contributions. But if ON has more elderly , the net looks lower. But that’s not too interesting as those olds paid in for decades prior.

[Trillium41 @SGallagher_BCON]

@Gurrzy4 @nlclarke1112 @DrexlSpivey18 @guitarguy3 @coreyhogan Right, now trace those contributions to the employees that made them and see how many are in Alberta still and how many are how far from retirement.

@ty_olsen @mattgurney I keep on going back and reading that late 2020 G&M piece on how the PHAC slipped into incompetence over a decade. The institution is still there, but the exclusion of expertise rotted it out. It could be rebuilt but would require making comms subservient to expertise.

[Trillium41 @SGallagher_BCON]

@TheSAOman @TimLeMule @mattgurney The 15%.

[Trillium41 @SGallagher_BCON]

@BobJudu @StephenPunwasi Maybe on the portions that have been used for aggregate extraction. Farmland is going to be worth more and more in dollars and public sentiment with food inflation and ecological collapse.

[Trillium41 @SGallagher_BCON]

@BrowninToronto @blue_jay_john @DavidR19682022 @StephenPunwasi Buddy and his bride are benefiting now, man. Cutting nurses in the nineties and pumping private LTC has payoffs for decades, dude.

[Trillium41 @SGallagher_BCON]

@BAllbury @sunlorrie I think this disagreement is one of semantics. There is no doubt that current conservatives and conservatives that win aren’t red Tories. My only very narrow point is that this is a departure from what conservatives were and that they were less individualistic than liberals.

[Trillium41 @SGallagher_BCON]

@BAllbury @sunlorrie I’m not focused only on federal politics and Mulroney was a departure from the red toryism that had been part of Canada’s political landscape.
