At the end of the day, I really hope the UCP can deliver on what they've said to improve investor relations and get our product to market - the entire province would be better off. All this chest-beating about equalization payments will likely be mostly talk.
End of the day, my worry (rather apathy) is our current cumulative "problems" will be blocked by the same factors that stand now, and it'll always be someone's fault if they don't happen. I really hope that isn't the case.

They aren't specifically attacked for being white males, but just for being there. You've obviously never spent much time in rough nightclubs or out on the street after sporting events wearing the wrong colors. Or even just walking the street where groups of people congregate after drinking. There is, was, and always will be massive amounts of negative interactions in such circumstances, and little of it has anything to do with racism/gayism/whateversim. It's just people being assholes, which while I did agree can be targeted at minority groups, it isn't always, or even most frequently. Again, people of all color/creed/whatever catch shit from assholes, for all kinds of reasons, and in my experience, pretty much NO reason at all.oh yeah there's lots of shitheads out there and all minorities seem to catch a lot of shit. Outside of the maybe the hood or maybe on a res how often to white guys get openly attacked specifically for being white?

Haha, I was expanding into the states regardless. I just had to make a very aggressive politics postThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I was part of the issue this election, I didn’t even vote.
Reality is that it will take more than a year for oil to “rebound” per say and get busy so I might as well fuck off to the states to work while it is booming down there.

Wait, I thought that the argument was any ol' person could be gay and that they didn't do those things you said? That's mighty homophobic of you to suggest gay people, I dunno, SEEK attention about their gayness.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Yea, I was surprised by the comment, because you aren't very "PC" on here. Reads a lot better in jest
Honestly I think it will take changes at the Federal level to move the needle significantly on O&G, I don't think any of the Alberta candidates will do much of anything.
Fortunately there's going to be a federal change over soon enough. But I agree, nothing Kenney can do until then, except yelling and pandering.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I never meant to insinuate what you said was untrue. It just reminded me of all the news stories I've seen where someone claimed hate crime because they got yelled at from a passing car.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
But I think it is a little out to lunch for the fear mongering lefties to be flooding the internet with their tears, talking about how these one off ultra rare incidents like what happened to your friend, are going to become common place now that Kenney is the leader. If some people are legitimate biggots, the government isn't going to change that. They are who they are.
you mean he can't change the equalization program with a referendum?!?! i've been duped. can i change my vote to NDP?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I've been called a chink, immigrant, slanty eyes, told to go back to my country, so I've heard it all. Doesn't faze me. You know what stings? When I went into McDonalds today and they told me they're finally out of Shamrock Shake. Those words fucking hurt.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Edit: old article
I was on the edge when the NDP were elected but had multiple close friends leave the province/country and numerous other work friends. I said I’d move if Trudumby got in federally and once it happened I pulled the trigger. Talking to my friends we’ve all said we likely plan to move back once pipelines break ground and the O&G industry stabilizes. So there are actually people who left because of the terrible political situation in Canada. It’s the young, and highly educated (the people Canada does not want to lose) that Canada loses when they destroy industries, not the grumpy hippies or useless younger people (reddit users), or blue collar workers that are the most vocal when the party they don’t like gets elected.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Was scrolling thru facebook and I found a post by a friend who is socialist. Naturally, I expand the comments. First comment is her friend saying they should "actually kill conservatives."
Jesus, these people are out of their minds with hate.
Looking around
Wondering what became
Of what I once knew
Gas prices didn't go down and Trans Mountain hasn't been built yet. Pretty disappointed when I woke up this morning.
