"One of the big reasons why a lot of us grew up as conservatives is we were afraid that if you give too much power to the government, someone bad could come in and use it for their own personal gratification and empowerment," George Conway says. "And here we are. This is exactly it."

The UCP has announced the plan to make sure that Albertans see their share of the money that Data Centers will generate using massive amounts of water and electricity!
2% levy on computer equipment!
Except...
That levy is offset by tax write offs.
So Zero Sum for Albertans?

Then the question is what have we come to expect from this government
We “deserve and expect” decent health care and education, not a government which funds unnecessary panels, dictates to municipalities on issues such as bike lanes, wants to ban books in school libraries and deprives trans kids of the treatment they need!

Alberta’s grievances aren’t actually reasonable
The defenders of Canada all seem to agree that Alberta's grievances with the federal government are worth taking seriously. But what if they aren't?

Here's how the tariffs table would look like if Russia was on it.
In 2024, the US imported $3B worth of goods from there while exporting $526M there. It's one of the largest negative trade definite, percentage-wise, across all countries the US does business with.

Sense a 90 day solution coming
And what has all of this redirection of taxpayers dollars gotten us?
Shorter wait times for cataract surgeries and hip.
Cancer surgeries? Heart surgeries? Knee replacements?
All WAY longer.

1. We, as taxpayers, pay for the building and maintenance of these structures already.
2. Now they will be "leased" back to health entities and agencies.
3. Who pays for the leases?
4. If taxpayers don't pay the leases, they will have to become FOR PROFIT.

MAGA by now really does talk about Canada the way Putin talked about Ukraine. This is getting very dangerous.

A year ago, Premier Smith said that the tax cut (which was her #1 promise in May 2023 election) had to be delayed because of economic uncertainty. There is a lot more economic uncertainty right now.
