I figure if we fly the helicopters over major urban centers in the west they'll fall out of the sky within an hour due to mechanical failure, so we can make them look like an accident."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

That led to the unfortunate incident of the American bombers missing their targets and bombing Saskatchewan. Fortunately, there were no casaulties. Everyone had already left the province.

Albertans aren't very fond of the current system
No body is, that is the part you don't get.
and it backfired horribly
It kept Canada alive.
So I don't see that as an advantage.
Maybe not for a rich spoiled kid, let's see just a guess your dad is worth about $800,000/year. Most of the average income people in the world would love to have it. The fact is most of the planet makes far less than the average income. I suppose when you have to pay for your own everything...you will understand it's value.
computer science
Humm I thought you said Alberta had a strong tech sector? It seems to me the provinces are equally responsible for bringing in companies and industries.
But blame the Feds...
I'm not an isolated case
And you are not the majority either, seems to me you claim Alberta is way ahead of the others. Seems to me Alberta is almost debt free, seems to me Alberta is doing mighty fine. So what are you *****ing about?
Let's have a look:
1. The fact that 10% of the population does not have a majority say over the rest or at least equal.
2. Twenty year-old policies that are obviously meaningless now.
3. PET who has been dead for some time now and been out of Canadian politics for what 30 years.
4. Kyoto a program designed to cut pollution to save lives and ensure a clean planet for future generations.
5. The rest of Canada who look at what you have and the fact you still whine the way you do and what you whine about and tell you your an idiot.
I do not need to list what you have out there that is great. You have bragged about it endlessly on every thread that meantions anything to do with Canada. Alberta has it great right now it is a wonderful place to live. Half the planet would die and some do die trying to make it to this great country we call Canada.
Looks shallow to me anyone else?

Bomber... Bombardier... Nahhh. Maybe it is time to turn out the lights on this one.
Last word, Tingkai. I know how you feel. It is kind of annoying to have everything you say readily dismissed by the simple use of a label, isn't it?(\__/)

It's a world class company bringing in millions of dollars. It is trying to compete with other world class companies who are heavily subsidised by thier governments.

I just don't like how Canada works on a federal level, add to that a poorer job market, and I don't think it's shallow at all to move. Looks smart to me, and to many other people. It's another problem Canada has called the brain drain, but the Liberals will sit there and tell you it's all a lie as well."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

So if everyone is equally as furious with the Canadian federal government
1. We have a dictatorial democracy
2. What choice was there? Doris? Was not going to happen.
We will go through changes just might not be in our lifetime
Let's face it Asher the world's politics have us by the *alls.
A few elites own us all period.
Canada would have survived perfectly fine without it and you know it.
The only reason we had 16.5%? unemployment when oil hit what 400% increase. Was because of the oil keeping the factories going at a cheap rate. Now you show me how it would have kept going without that. Factories down east would have closed fast and a lot did.
It's certainly not Alberta's problem
Bs get a grip Alberta can pass any provincial tax or rule they like to counter any Fed rule. That is simply a cop out. Alberta only within the last few years had the highest corpate tax base almost in Canada. That does not encourage business. In fact even today they are still behind the east in that type of business lure.
federal government with too much power
How is this?
This doesn't happen in Canada
Not true at all more BS that is what equalization payments are all about just for starters.
I could go on but it is obvious you need to read more about the government here and the way it works.
True, but the memories of them are still strong
Only to Albertan's that listen to the Klien government's propaganda.
Kyoto has nothing to do with the NEP. Klien sows that seed to keep the next generation mad as hell and it creates votes, anamosity and people like you.
It's just that Kyoto doesn't solve the problem.
China smina CANADA man 10,000 people in Ontario alone will die from pollution related illness this year alone. I could give a rats ass about China and they could give a rats ass about us. 1000 times the cash is put into traffic safty each year than pollution cutting measures. 1000 times less people die from traffic accidents than pollution. Pretty *ucking stupid IMHO.
hypocrisy of most Canadians
He was right no one did a thing. Hypocrisy is having oil for 45 years and complaining about sharing it with the rest of the country, when the rest of the country keep Alberta going. In sweat and blood not in oil revenues which quite franky you never see. Try Ontario all the money that goes to equalization comes from the peoples pay. You have it good out there and still whine. That is Hypocracy.
Even more people would die and many more do die trying to make it to the greater country we call America.
Well boy pack up quit school go to the states, work for your school, pay your bills and tell me what you think about life for a minute. I wish I had the power to put some young kid through school in your spot. Boot you the hell out and give it to someone who appreciates it. Works for it and respects what they have.
It's not shallow
Yes everything you said was shallow totally. You have it good out there an whine the way you do and half of it is non-sense. So obviously color it any way you want I was not talking about you going to the States was I?
Your whole arguements and the flake NYE have been shallow and selfish, the rest is in my last post.
Now tell me what do you think it is ike down east, start with Ontario any idea?“The Communist Manifesto was correct…but…we see the privileges of the capitalist bourgeoisie yielding…to democratic organizations…In my judgment…success lies in a steady [peaceful] advance…[rather]…than in…a catastrophic crash."Eduard Bernstein

Start here Asher this is the Parliament Library beautiful place. The picture does it no justice it is huge.
When I was a teen I had a private tour of the Parliament buildings. I even sat in Trudeaus chair in his office with my feet on his desk. When he came in I was stunded. All he said was "do you know how old that desk is"
He was a very nice man and very Canadian. I realize you can not relate to that but I am very Canadian too.
Like a lot of people my age I have lived in almost every city in this country.
You?
Do you know how old it is out here? One of the main highways here to T.O. was commisioned by a French king...
Now tell me what do you know about CANADA Asher?
Text book? Stories?
I'll tell you any Albertan that has lived or traveled outside of Alberta does not think like you.
21 years growing up in Alberta I can atest to that personally.
In other words Asher CANADA is about people, places, culture, acceptance and unity. That is what has been lacking in every single arguement you present and thank you for now making it very clear for all of us what you are all about.
It is not all money, fame, greed and power....
That is what separates us from the US...Last edited by blackice; August 27, 2002, 21:31.“The Communist Manifesto was correct…but…we see the privileges of the capitalist bourgeoisie yielding…to democratic organizations…In my judgment…success lies in a steady [peaceful] advance…[rather]…than in…a catastrophic crash."Eduard Bernstein

Alberta's opinions and votes are marginalized since it's a minority which consistently votes conservative. The federal government doesn't have to, and doesn't, give a damn what Canadians living in Alberta think simply because it doesn't matter. Tingkai's brilliant solution to this is for Alberta to vote Liberal, and I haven't seen you give a solution. My solution is best, though.
Only to Albertan's that listen to the Klien government's propaganda.
Kyoto has nothing to do with the NEP. Klien sows that seed to keep the next generation mad as hell and it creates votes, anamosity and people like you.
China smina CANADA man 10,000 people in Ontario alone will die from pollution related illness this year alone.
Canada accounts for 2% of greenhouse gas emissions. Fact.
Reducing us to 1990 levels would make us account for 1.9% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. While at the same time, those businesses which aren't polluting in Canada have moved south and increased the US' by the same amount. Kyoto isn't going to solve anything, morons wrote the treaty which is why anyone with a simple grasp of economics and scientific fact would refuse to sign it.
The only people endorsing it are the environmentalists which don't give a damn what happens to the country or don't give a damn if that pollution simply moves. They just hear "Kyoto good. Kyoto make world better. Kyoto save 10000 lives in Ontario alone and anyone who questions Kyoto is a murderer".
He was right no one did a thing.
Tingkai suggested we could protest with our votes, when the conservatives swept seats at the time anyway.
What is your brilliant suggestion of what the West could have done? Stage protests? We all know how much Trudeau appreciated protests, especially those from Westerners.

You seem to be forgetting that I'm also an American in addition to a Canadian. I don't have any more obligation to stay in Canada than I do to stay America. I've attended public schools in both countries and lived in both countries, it's just that I live in Canada now because of my dad's job. Not my choice.
Yes everything you said was shallow totally. You have it good out there an whine the way you do and half of it is non-sense. So obviously color it any way you want I was not talking about you going to the States was I?
To be honest I have no idea what you're talking about when you say it's shallow. People disagree with governments and people move to better job markets. If that's shallow, then so be it, but it makes sense to me.
Now tell me what do you think it is ike down east, start with Ontario any idea?
He was a very nice man and very Canadian. I realize you can not relate to that but I am very Canadian too.

Call me a nasty Canadian, but the truth is there's not much to be proud of in Canada these days. Whether it's the underfunded health care system, the underfunded military, the insane taxes, and a Prime Minister which is as dumb and senile as an ape. There's something to be said when Bush is smarter than another world leader, don't you think?
I'll tell you any Albertan that has lived or traveled outside of Alberta does not think like you.
21 years growing up in Alberta I can atest to that personally.
In other words Asher CANADA is about people, places, culture, acceptance and unity.

The country you live in is what you make of it. You don't have to live in Canada, I don't either, and I find it disturbing that you're so upset when people want to leave Canada.
Canada isn't for everyone, not everyone shares the beliefs that most Canadians have. And considering I'm an American-Canadian, I don't think you're in any position to criticize me for where I want to move. I'm a citizen of both countries, and the US fits my ideals more than Canada. Deal with that and love me anyway."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
