So, of course it is the perfect time to shut down factories, keep overcharging Ontarians for electricity, and introduce a whole new whack of 'climate' taxes.

$1:

Alberta’s pain is Canada’s too. The whole country loses when a downdraft hits the province’s economy,

$1:

Remittances have shrivelled from workers who migrated away from their families in Atlantic Canada, Ontario and Quebec

$1:

Contracts dried up in Central Canada for material needed in the energy and construction industries

$1:

The Conference Board predicts oil and gas producers will register a pre-tax loss of $2-billion in 2015, which means less money for Ottawa from corporate taxes,

$1:

But the effects are nationwide

$1:

The Alberta downdraft will dry up employment, slow down migration and reduce remittances. For Atlantic Canadian provinces already defined by slow-growth, low-productivity, high-unemployment economies, the effects will be widespread and painful

$1:

“An Alberta that is no longer able to absorb large numbers of Canadians looking for better opportunities is likely to have adverse consequences for the entire national economy and labour market.”

The left in this country, the legion of Canadian andys that never ever hid their desire to see this happen, got what they wanted. Go ask your Saudi buddies, who you'd rather get oil from than see Albertans and all the other people who came here to provide it to you and have good jobs, to pick up the slack. I hope the catastrophe that's happened out here knocks the whole damn rotten Canadian house of cards down to the ground and that it lasts forever. If it finally puts a stop to the endless delusion then so be it.

Maybe there's a bunch of enterprising Syrians that can take up the slack.

Hope they take NIMBY's job.

Hope they take NIMBY's job.

I don't know what he even does for a living. I'm assuming with the levels of smugness and arrogance he has on display at any given time he's one of these born-lucky fuckers that's spent his entire life walking in between the raindrops that end up drowning everyone else. Probably comes from money that someone else in family made, which means limousine-liberal. Or, more likely, some kind of government worker yukking it up from behind multiple levels of protection from reality courtesy of some public sector union.

[BRAH]

Government workers are sucking the NDP tit hard and fast.

Bah. Teachers generally earn their money just from putting up with the walking brain-dead all day for ten months of the year. You earned yours from your self-imposed exile to indigenous hell that you've been doing for the last several years. Kind of like working pipeline or being stuck in a Ft. McMeth work camp in that you can't swing a dead cat without hitting at least a couple of meatheads.

Perhaps the corporate tax shouldn't have been cut about 2 or 3 years ago.

Come on. You're spoiling it for the other circle jerkers, who are still having so much fun with the Timmy's meme. Well, except 2Cdo who promoted me to barrista. I don't think they're called that at Timmy's. I never go to Timmy's, but when I pass one, I get that warm glow in my heart, knowing it will always be there for me if I fuck up my current job. You should consider it.

Well, maybe this downdraft will get us used to what it will be like to live with dealing with climate change. Just heard on the radio that we will need to eventually reduce our carbon emission to zero if we want to stop further warming. Not sure the scientist who said this considered the effect of carbon sinks, but I guess those can overflow.

Anyway, teach us not to get all proud about how financially smart we were having buried all that bitumen where we live, live like there's no tomorrow, maybe get a bit more humble instead of lording it over ROC.

And maybe we can find technical solutions to GHGs, but what about all the other vital components of our economic system? Hell, apparently we're mining sand like there's an unlimited supply. I gotta say tho, forget the new guy's name, but he's got a point about going nuclear if we really have to reduce emissions to zero.

If the rest of Canada feels Alberta's pain now, just wait till the Equalization Payments don't show up.

With saying things like "come to Alberta because we've got lots of jobs for Canadians from all across the entire country to fill" being distorted inside the heads of twisted leftist fucks like you until it sounds like "lording it over the ROC".
