Norway’s Oil Fund Hits $1 Trillion; Meanwhile, In Alberta..

we have less people than Norway, which is a country, which also has lower cost oil

just look at some of these, look at what is taken out of Alberta, look at the EI alone, add it up, if Alberta wasn't supporting the deadbeats in the rest of the country, it probably would have a few hundred more billion in the Heritage Trust Fund, even with the crooked politicians we've had going back to Lougheed, who set it up and didn't do what he should have, just like the one's who followed

It’s the times and this has become a global issue, somehow it seems Canada is in lockstep with the EU where those countries have all surrendered their independence. They must adhere to the doctrine coming out of Brussels much to their regional detriment. I have always thought that Canada was mostly a centrist country where people would try to take the best from the right and the left, that would make the most sense to me. The polarization in Canada used to be English vs French and Quebec would threaten to leave and we would pony up funds bla bla bla. It doesn’t seem like that is the issue anymore, we are sliding toward the American version which is Left vs Right, I had no idea they were that divided until the last 10 years or so. That is coming here to this country and a lot of it is coming from leftists in our education system.
I thought Americans should be wearing tin hats when they would spew comments like “communists and marxists are trying to take over”. I never thought Trump even had a chance at getting elected and was quite dismayed when he was.
What has happened since then is his election has exposed the lunatic left, they have come swarming out of the woodwork and it hasn’t been pretty. It’s been downright dissapointing, there is no common sense, no common ground just the most radical tear it all down rhetoric. I’m sad this is now happening in Canada as I mostly supported the liberal values, I agreed with Pierre Trudeau and his viewpoint that we seek a just society. I’ve never been anti-immigrant, anyone should have the opportunity to come here and better themselves. What pisses me off is when offshore money is parked here and we get exploited for our lax regulations, the local population has now basically been chicken cooped and are paying the bill. This is on the Conservatives as well as they love the smell of money. I stand by the immigration book we had a few decades ago (don’t know how much it’s changed) then you had to swear allegiance to the crown. A new Canadian should swear allegiance to Canada and work to better himself and contribute to the wellbeing of the country. If they can’t do that then they should get lost as far as I’m concerned.
In the grand scheme of things the ultra wealthy puppet masters are calling the shots globally, Canada usually draws the short straw. In the end we are all just the riff raff along for the ride but I would rather do that here than anywhere else, these are strange times!

Haha... in this thread alone you have said "like we need anymore immigrants" and "you think minorities should be in charge of running the country, they would just throw the doors wide open" - that sounds pretty anti-immigrant!

Claiming the EU has gone way left is again fake news - read a newspaper, the EU has recently seen the rise of the far right in France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands....even Brexit is largely an anti immigration movement.

The majority of the 'left' in the US and Canada is actually pretty centerist based on the global political spectrum, while the right is relatively right, especially in America. I would suggest Canada's right has been heavily influenced by US reactionism and shifted further right - Prestin Manning's Reform Party, Harper's and Scheer's Conservatives, the Wild Rose are much further right than Joe Clarke's or Brian Mulroney's Conservatives of our past.

Your a typical leftist SJW full of bullshit rhetoric take it out of context this is what I said and fully support this ", like we need anymore immigrants who would never be loyal to Canada, some of those immigrants are responsible for the mess we are in now. "

People who immigrate here just to exploit Canada's immigration loopholes and those who could care less about this country as long as they can screw us should never be allowed here. The corruption that has taken place with just the casino money laundering seems to be the tip of the iceberg, the tax dodging is in the millions. I don't care where you come from but the immigration manual asks immigrants to be loyal to Canada as their new chosen home. If they can't do that they are not worthy to be Canadian citizens, the liberals have notoriously always sold the country out with lax immigration policies.

You must have a sore spine carrying that big chip on your shoulder, your either a Canadian or your not your ethnicity shouldn't matter your actions do!
