Calling it an HFS (Heritage Fund Saving) is direct and feels like it's building towards something.
Frankly the more money we can keep in this province for this province, the better.

Lets be honest here. Her Alberta pension idea blew up in her face, so now she's trying to find other ways of taking Albertans money, for government investments.

Her pension plan was likely a wake-up for Albertans on how truly fucked they're getting by the rest of Canada, she must have known it would have to be nearly impossible to implement. So in that regard it was probably a successful marketing campaign.

She knew that the pension idea wouldn't fly. It's just a way to distant more Albertans from the Lib FedsThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Dump income tax in proportion with PST rate.
The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan has total assists around $250 B. I think Smith is wanting to do the same to our Heritage fund.
I think she's done a great job since taking office. Other Calgarians agree with me, her approval rating in Calgary has gone up since the election

I think the majority of the voters in the province would be ok with it. It's the people that it will impact the least and benefit the most that take exception to a provincial tax. Many of my friends from the high-middle to upper class feel the same way is I do. It's the chumps on AISH that are complaining.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Not that I'd join the NDP, but whoever runs on breaking away from the federal ndp would have my vote.
If he can abolish DST he'll get my vote
If nenshi becomes leader does that gain the ndp the votes they need for Calgary ridings?
