#Alberta has:
- the highest average income
- the highest standard of living
- the lowest taxes
in Canada. So explain to me how leaving Canada would improve on that?

Oh, and Canada invested around $34B (yes, that's BILLIONS) in the #TransMountainPipeline for the sole purpose of pushing Albertan oil to saltwater. And Alberta can't fill it to capacity (yet, anyway). So, again: how would leaving Canada benefit AB?

@SonofaGeorge those fuckers chime like a cuckoo clock every hour.

Memo to the libertarian dipshits that penned this tripe. THE PRIVATE SECTOR DIDN’T WANT TO BUILD IT SO THE REST OF US BUILT IT FOR THEM.

Maybe we should stop doing that and we can watch the private sector build infrastructure at $55 a barrel.

Fuck these leeches.

@SonofaGeorge @ScribblersEmporium Manning has thrown scorpions in the soup for thirty years. Time to put him out to pasture.

@SonofaGeorge lower taxes for who businesses? Our flat tax is not cheaper for low income earners.
