@roncollings @MrCrumbsbody Yes someone in GTA has a pulse on what Albertans think. 90% of ABโs have no issue with equitable transfer payments. The issue is with Provinces blocking our method of developing wealth for the Nation. Particularly when we are the most environmentally cognizant developer of same.
@JenniferSigswo2 @Darrell31178022 @BrendanC_86@WBrettWilson@calgaryherald Please be honest. The upper cap to pay teachers has only been increased by 1%. Teachers are paid a wide variety under the cap and can and do get raises. The cap is among the highest in the world. We are coming into the 6th year of a recession in AB so 1 increase in 8 makes sense
@lamphieryeg @Mrs_Teplitz @ABeconomist Venuzuala wasnโt Venuzuala before either, Canad is sliding down a similar slippery slope:

@JohnCar24778815@RarelySurprised@BFystro @ABeconomist Just to clarify...once again a small minority are marching for their own direct benefit. Not supported by the majority.
@LloydMaybaum@UCPCaucus@jkenney@albertaNDP A sales tax impacts everyone. Increase sin tax(alcohol, cigarettes, sporting events, concerts, live theatre etc), tax lottery and casino winnings as well (no one loses).
@BrendanC_86 @Darrell31178022 @WBrettWilson@calgaryherald CBE said they would have to lay off teachers then miraculously found room in maintenance budgets. The same maintenance budget contractors said they told CBE the work they requested didnโt need to be done but they were told to do it anyways. CBE wanted to keep the budget bloated
@TyTillot@johneoster@WBrettWilson@calgaryherald Itโs not a free market ๐คฃ๐๐ we arenโt being allowed to approve projects or get our product to market while there is a huge demand for it. Otherwise 100% agree with you. Also donโt work in O&G.
@Darrell31178022 @JenniferSigswo2@BrendanC_86@WBrettWilson@calgaryherald I took a pay cut. Working harder and longer hours for less money but letโs pile on more tax so the public sector can get one. Not to mention the time off they get and the benefits, Defined Benefit Pension ๐คฃ๐คฃhow about here is an RRSP Form you can fill out to self invest.
@BrendanC_86 @Darrell31178022 @WBrettWilson@calgaryherald And they arenโt being asked to take the lay off that private sector employees have or wage roll backs the private sector has or the loss of benefits the private sector has. They remain among the best paid in the Country.
@TyTillot@johneoster@WBrettWilson@calgaryherald To protect an industry that contributes billions in tax revenue and employs 10โs of thousands of tax generating employees ...totally ok with that.
