Save it for the next generation of Albertans I prefer to read the truth...

A CP article on Trudeau's legacy that quotes Klein in one part because he is the current premier? You don't want to know the truth.

I guess everyone in Alberta is just deluded, right? The government, the oil companies, the academics, the banks, the scholars, and everybody who lived through it. I guess we've all fallen under the spell cast by Sun Publishing.

Plonk. Done with you too.

It is you who are deluded the article from a pro westerner news paper that hates Trudeau.

Yup good one.

Nope not at all, just some deluted posters to which I am refering to. I lived in Alberta for 21 years most are very rational people. Most are very pro Canada, most like the east. Almost all of them have moved on from the dead Trudeau. Just some people have not, mainly because the Klien government and others use it as a rally cry for more votes.

Have no idea what you are talking about here? Anyone else?

Yup and the rest of Canada was living high on the hog right? That is the whinning some refer to, what about NOP did not here you comment on that. In fact you have ignored most every point to continue with the same old boring woe is me non-sense.

Plonk your gone.

Hi-o!

This is absolutely incredible. It truly is.

The problem here is both blackice and Tingkai have something against Alberta. What could that be?

I think Loif was on to something. You both exhibit the telltale signs of jealousy. Whether you're truly jealous or not isn't known, but you sure do act like it.

Like Tingkai's absolutely ridiculous troll about the West and martial law in Quebec (there's no other way to put it, it's like blaming India for Germany's invasion of Poland).
Like blackice's incoherent ramblings about how the NEP was a good thing until Mulroney ****ed it up. That one's also classic, but we expect such statements from such a devine intellect like blackice.

You feel the need to troll Albertans even though the thread had nothing to do with it. Take THIS thread, for example. It's like it's always in the back of your mind, and you can't wait to make fun of it. Like the girl you liked in elementary school.

And then there's the classic incessant whining about "western whining". Why do you think The West "whines"? I assure you we don't do it because we get a kick out of it. Perhaps, if you put down your flamethrower, you'd realize that perhaps there are some legit complaints to be had here. In particular I'm thinking of Tingkai's own contradiction-within-a-post he had several posts ago. He admits that Chretien doesn't need to worry about pissing off Albertans, and then he goes on to say that he doesn't like it when Albertans complain about that.

Who wouldn't complain about that? You contribute, by far, the most per capita to Canada. What do you get? A government which ignores you and a population which gives you the finger and calls you whiners whenever you ask what the hell is going on.

If that attitude keeps up over the next 10-20 years, you're not going to need to worry about Albertans whining to you anymore. Mark my words. If Kyoto passes, it'll only accelerate this -- unless some major reforms are taken.

Anyway, as for the latest (very poor) troll by Tingkai:

But lets look at what Alberta lacks:
1) Decent NHL hockey teams;
2) Culture (sorry folks, the Stampede don't count), such as, decent art facilities, famous writers, artists;
3) World class universities;
4) ; and
5) A diverse economy.

1) I don't see the Marintime's hockey teams doing much better. Hell, even Quebec/Ontario's are doing ****ty. What other province of 3M people can maintain *TWO* NHL teams, Tingkai? Think about that.
2) This one is such a bogus statement. There's plenty of Culture. Why the hell DOESN'T the Stampede count, Tingkai? Millions of people attend it every year, and this is in a city of 920,000. Hell, when Collective Soul performed, 100,000 people attended that concert. Then there's the plethora of night clubs (even several gay bars in Calgary! Imagine that!), the university scene (30,000 full time students in a town of 920,000 ain't bad -- and there's always new acts coming in to perform), baseball, hockey, football, even rodeos.
3) This mostly has to do with the fact that, until the 70s, Alberta wasn't really heavily populated. It's a new province, you don't suddenly create world class universities out of thin air. But then again, this depends on what you're doing. For petrochemical engineering and the similar fields, I don't think you'll find any better schools in the world than these ones here. Computer stuff especially is taking off, and there's a ton of famous grads in the computer world who came from the UofC, as well as world renowned professors in fields like human-computer interaction and cryptography.
4) We lack semicolons?

You haven't a clue what you're talking about, Tingkai. It's as simple as that.

PS, wouldn't the real Cowboys be in Alberta, and the wannabes be in Rural Ontario? I say this because my relatives in rural Ontario are some of the biggest hicks I know (they were originally from Quebec, for what it's worth). He works for the Ford plant and drives a pickup and lives on a farm. Here in Alberta, those type of people are real cowboys and win those international titles. The people in the cities tend to be normal folks, except with a much higher average salary than the rest of Canada.

Yup good one.

Canadian Press is a pro Western news paper? Hmmmm.

It must give Tingkai much comfort to know how similar your views on this topic are to his.

[blackice]

The problem here is both blackice and Tingkai have something against Alberta. What could that be?

Asher the BS artist make his way back after claiming he was still banned.
No wonder I rarely beleive a word you say.

I quite like Alberta and the people, I have spent more time there than anywhere else in fact was here and there during the time in question. Were you even a mistake then?
I guess your opinion is wrong as usual, but you keep spreading the BS as to not disapoint anyone.

I think Loif was on to something. You both exhibit the telltale signs of jealousy. Whether you're truly jealous or not isn't known, but you sure do act like it.

He did not mention me at all more BS or is it just your inability to read again? What I post is facts seems to me you have problems with that.

Like blackice's incoherent ramblings about how the NEP was a good thing until Mulroney ****ed it up. That one's also classic, but we expect such statements from such a devine intellect like blackice.

I do not expect you to understand or read what I posted. What I do expect you have not disapointed me in. Your inabilty to see reality and you immature trolling.

You contribute, by far, the most per capita to Canada. What do you get? A government which ignores you and a population which gives you the finger and calls you whiners whenever you ask what the hell is going on.

You only contribute now and whine about it, by far? Canada contributed to get you there. What did, does it get? We are leaving we want more and continued whinning about the NEP. You are but 10% of the population under the same rules as the rest of us. What do you mean ignore are you going back to we have more money so we want to tell the rest of the population what to do? Grow up man.

Hey I would give people the finger trowing things at me too. This is another classic simple minded want to be a westerner lie.

If that attitude keeps up over the next 10-20 years, you're not going to need to worry about Albertans whining to you anymore. Mark my words. If Kyoto passes, it'll only accelerate this -- unless some major reforms are taken.

Yes god, this is classic of you to think you speak for all Albertans. You are just some immature boy in mommy's house. Get over yourself already.

Kyoto, hey after all why save the health of the people you govern when you can make so much more money ignoring that.




Yes NYE that editorial in a news paper sure swayed my opinion on the facts.

It must give Tingkai much comfort to know how similar your views on this topic are to his.

I guess we read and know some of the the same facts.
He has better arguements than posting newspaper arguements. Maybe you could learn something from him....



So much for this thread lamer and spammer are back.

[notyoueither]

Who lies blackice?

Copied from that 'other' thread.

MattHiggs wrong guy but nice try, it is no wonder people do not like you. Very easy to see why.

Look they started the BS club of disinformation to make themselves look more important then they are. Flakes.

You are amasing.

It expired today.

I've always been a mistake, it's just that as I get older I become a bigger mistake.

You only contribute now and whine about it, by far? Canada contributed to get you there. What did, does it get?

And we're more than happy to contribute now. The difference is most of Canada is giving us the impression like they're using us. The least Chretien could do is campaign here and give us the illusion he gives a damn, rather than just ignoring us completely, right?

Yes god, this is classic of you to think you speak for all Albertans. You are just some immature boy in mommy's house. Get over yourself already.

Kyoto, hey after all why save the health of the people you govern when you can make so much more money ignoring that.

I don't speak for Albertans, I'm just making a prediction. KrazyHorse and I were talking about this months ago, and we ran across a poll that showed that only about 10% of Alberta wants to secede right now, but if in 10 years there's not significant reform, 50% will want to secede. If Kyoto passes, it WILL negatively affect Alberta (no brainer), and it will anger Alberta more.

My opinion/prediction is it will only accelerate the alienation and separation movements.

[blackice]

Who lies blackice?

What lie are you refering to? Anyone else know?
You are confused...

[notyoueither]

Like I said. Amasing.

The link is earlier in this thread. The posts are there.

[blackice]

right?

Why would he go to a place that teaches hatred about him and the east?
Trudeau went out what did he get? Besides I am sure he is tired of the NEP talk too
I don't get it you don't vote Liberal, you don't like Cretien you hate the Eastern people and "claim" all rueal Ontarioans are hicks. Now you want someone to come out to make you feel important? Confused?

You do have a right to an opinion for sure we all do. Thanks for putting it clearly as an opinion the second time.

If Kyoto passes, it WILL negatively affect Alberta (no brainer), and it will anger Alberta more.

Depends if they read and don't just take Kliens propaganda as fact. Kyoto is about saving the future of people. I doubt very much the average Albertan can disput the fact it is needed. I doubt very much the average Albertan thinks it's a bad thing. Short term pain for long term gain, beside you ahve the cash to do it.
Maybe some of the budget should be put aside for the environment?

[blackice]

Really where? Explain these lies just posting some non- sense makes you look the fool.
Trolling is lost on you isn't it?

So, Alberta is all about hating Chretien and the East?

On such ignorant generalisations are bigotry founded.

Simply amasing.

People can go through the link, see the posts, and make their own minds up.

Try quoting something other than my user name next time.

What do you mean teaches? The teachers in the public school are almost all Liberal or even NDP. The teachers tend not to like cost-cutting conservatives.

And as for teaching hatred about the east -- that's complete bull****. Nobody here hates the east, many people here hate Trudeau, and most people are distrust the Federal Liberals because they have a very poor record with dealing with Alberta and don't want to improve it, at all.

Hell, almost all of us have family in the East.

Do you truly believe that Albertans hate the east?

I don't get it you don't vote Liberal, you don't like Cretien you hate the Eastern people and "claim" all rueal Ontarioans are hicks. Now you want someone to come out to make you feel important? Confused?

There are Albertans who do vote Liberal, you know. More than you might think. It's just that the majority vote conservative in almost every riding, and with the FPTP system like we have, that means everything.

If the Liberals actually pretended to care about Alberta and Alberta Interests (such as doing some real studies on Kyoto before signing off like they plan to), they'd get more votes. But they don't. They've basically written off Alberta as a hopeless province and have clearly demonstrated they don't care for Albertan interests accordingly, and that's why I think the system needs reform.

Albertans are Canadians too.

Depends if they read and don't just take Kliens propaganda as fact. Kyoto is about saving the future of people. I doubt very much the average Albertan can disput the fact it is needed.

Kyoto would be a good thing if implemented properly. But it's not. It would have been a big risk even if the US signed it since developing nations don't need to sign it (it's like tying our hands behind our backs and letting the developing nations go nuts and take market share since they're not restricted by Kyoto). But now it'll be devastating for Canada.

Kyoto, if implemented in Canada properly, would return us to 1990 levels, but only because all of the manufacturing and lots of the petrochemical processing went south where they don't need to live with Kyoto. You're not saving the earth, you're going to hurt Canada's economy -- most specifically, Alberta's.

[notyoueither]

And no, trolling is not lost on me. I enjoy watching, and even participating in a good troll.

Only, bigotry and lying are not trolling. They are reviled for good reason.
