There is another extremely relevant angle to this. When Ford signed a $5.5B with a U.S bank for the islands, $9B to Hitachi U.S OntLine, Lecce's $21B Hitachi U.S reactors and $140M U.S Hospital facade all those deals removed those amounts from OUR GDP. Ford is working against us.

@danlovespecialk@Martyupnorth omg thats funny. "self determination" and thinking it would cost less than 25-50M/yr for military, police, banking, healthcare, retirement plans, social safety nets for all albertans? self determination when USA swoops in and takes you over. Ya'll are hilarious
@danlovespecialk@Martyupnorth Im simply repeating Smith's numbers. Telling me to fuck off won't make any change to the numbers she gave or the revenue generated by oil & gas. And you know they always under estimate figures. So it's probably way more than 400b+25-50B/yr https://t.co/vg8FCNgeMr
These truths Premiere Smith was forced to admit probably felt like multiple root canals to her but every Albertan should listen closely to this. She could also be quietly hinting that Alberta joining the U.S. would avoid these costs if they chose to leave.
@PoohBear71@Martyupnorth Yes thats where I got my screenshot. Alberta to get 13.2B from oil/gas....where is the other 11.8 B needed to make the min. 25Billion operating costs per year? And that's at smiths low end. Imagine if its actually closer to 50B per year, then Alberta is short 38.2B per year.
LISTEN UP ONTARIO:
Something big is happening in Ontario, and almost no one is talking about it.
Premier Ford has quietly passed a law that opens the door to water privatization across Ontario - and he's hoping you won't notice.
The Water and Wastewater Public
Corporations Act lets the government seize your local water system and hand it over to a for-profit corporation without your consent.
History is clear: when for-profit corporations control our water systems, the results are disastrous:
Bigger bills!
Bad service!
Dirty water!
Water is a human right not a commodity. It's not too late to stop this.
& Tell Premier Ford our water is NOT for sale. Take action now!
@DwayneJak@truthtrain101 "you're". And no the government doesn't euthanize anyone. They passed a law to allow people the freedom of choice. I watched my mom die of cancer. She would have welcome MAID. The only choice she had was to slowly & painfully die at home. you are sick to want people to suffer.
@crflames@DimitrisSoudas@RickPerkinsCPC someone keeps talking about china like they aren't aware of the china FIPA deal that harper locked us into for 31 years. We can't even exit it. Any issues held in secret tribunals, where we won't even know there was an issue or how it was resolved. Clearly you're clueless.
@TM76361657@HadiNasrallah wtf you going on about.Pretty sure israels been destroying churches & killing christians in gaza/westbank. Unless you're gonna put that blame on hezbollah too? https://t.co/aIljrEVb1E
@MVanevery3@crflames@DimitrisSoudas@RickPerkinsCPC Or demand better from your provincial government. Smiths' done some pretty stupid things with albertans money. I'm not even in alberta but i've heard the shit shes done like 4billion in missing covid funds, the turkish tylenol debacle, corrupt care scandal etc.
@crflames@DimitrisSoudas@RickPerkinsCPC A lot of liberals felt the way you did when harper was in power. Silencing scientists, secret deals, selling us out to china for 31yrs, 1st gov in contempt of parliament, etc. you know what we did? We voted him out. See how democracy works when enough people demand change?
@Yukon_Hiker@allenanalysis Run a poll for americans to vote. would they want to pay taxes in lieu of paying for insurance companies to run the healthcare system. You can even look into if it would be cheaper to pay for universal HC vs your current set up. most americans, only wanna pay for their own family
@Yukon_Hiker@allenanalysis keep killing your kids, and finding every justification for why you're the only rich civilized country without some type of universal healthcare for it's people. It would be cheaper for americans if the gov just used taxes to pay for healthcare. you'd have cheaper meds too!
@Yukon_Hiker@allenanalysis ? they wanna separate from canada, not join USA. ๐ you americans sure are self centered thinking everyone wants to join ya'll. It's a clusterfuck in the USA. Your leading cause of death of kids aged 1-17 since 2020 has been guns. GUNS! get a grip and get your country in order.
