Canadian provinces don’t even have a free trade agreement so how can canada be called a country? It is a failing confederation of dissimilar cultures and a very arrogant and corrupt prime minister.
Leftists want us to remain an outpost of eastern imperialism. The undemocratic antiquated political system assures the Feds can continue to use Alberta as a resource while coercing the province with it's own money to submit or implement programs not in its best interests.
The removal of Alberta independence signs confirms why Alberta needs to separate. The Canada Forever group is not interested in free speech, individual or national sovereignty. They are either part of the money laundering operation or captured by a childish notion of Canada.
Exactly! Keith Wilson explains it all. The first order of business in the new nation of Alberta should be to recall all current elected officials province wide!
So much welfare in the government it is hard to count . You can run the Liberals and NDP right out of the country . Pass honest laws and get your Canada pension money and stop all the blood sucking from the rest of Canada . Build a damn refinery where the real money is . There is no end to what can be done . If Farkas hangs around at next bull riding contest strap him and his group on a bull and let then go . Nenshi can be one of the clowns .
Farkas can have his opinion, but he can't use his position to force his opinion onto others. None of these people have been able to offer one single reasonable benefit to stay in Canada. All we get is rhetoric and slogans - nothing factual. They have showed some skill at fear mongering, but reasonable debate? Nothing! They should be arrested for Election Interference!!!
We all know just how anti-independance Farkas is. He has made plenty public statements to that fact and that he steadfastly supports the "forever canada" side.... Because city workers were caught red-handed removing Let Alberta Decide signs from Calgary roads and areas, their likely already pre-prepared excuse was always going to be, that signs were removed, "in error"...That was likely the plan all along with the Farkas and his petty interfering city council.... I dont buy for a minute that the "Let Alberta Decide" signs were ever removed in error.....It was an error that city workers were caught removing the signs and interfered in a lawful democratic referendum process by the Calgary Mayor and his councillors turning a blind eye....... There are too many Candians who conveniently forgot about the last Trudeau decade of liberal focused Alberta economic and energy strangulation, economic attacks, Alberta energy industry attacks and Liberal meddling into Alberta politics and Albertans business...These voters have the memory of a gold fish but now somehow believe that the same liberals have somehow changed course on their attacks against Alberta....The "Stockholm Syndrome" psychosis of these "forgetful" low IQ voters is pathetic. They are now the same voters who have again allowed another 4 years of continuous liberal economic destruction, escalating censorship, liberal corruption and massive reckless spending placing Canadian future generations into a world of debt never before seen in our history......It is absolutely amazing that people have forgot about all of the liberal controlled economic collapse and now Carney's strategic selling off of all Canada's valuable and major assets to his globalist pals and Brookfield assets.....One thing is certain about the majority of Candians who now support the liberals, these voters are the most brainwashed, braindead and stupid morons of which Canada has ever had the misfortune of voting in Canadian elections...They are the sole reason why Canada is now at a similar level of a third world sh it hole and dead last in GDP for the last 11 years in the G8.........
The liberals continue to bask in the glow of TDS, a malady that allowed them to go from being decimated to winning the election. What distinguishes a ring-winger and the automatons of the left is they are easily manipulated and motivated by appealing to their emotions, specifically hate and fear. If this weren't true we'd have a Conservative Federal government right now. Thus, it is politically advantageous for the liberals to bargain in bad faith, squeeze the life out of the economy with tariffs while creating hardship for the most vulnerable, and then blame it on Trump.
As an aside, I could easily broker a deal with Trump, and I'm not stating that because of my anonymity. Carney and the black-face groper denier both have undermined and ridiculed him when opportunities arose. TDS is so strong that even given an entire country's well being, diplomacy has been shucked in favor of postering. Trump is very uncomplicated when it comes to respect. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence can see that if he's approached that way he'll respond in kind. This does not mean supplication. The fact is Carney has burnt those bridges and set back US/Canada relations at least as long as he remains president.
Well stated....Its too bad so many Canadian voters suffer from the Canadian MSM psyops and psychosis of TDS......It will be our economic and strategic downfall......
Communist in control at all levels . They need to be charged and fined but as always all they do is apologize and no repercussions and the damage is done .
Calgary city hall is filled with slippery ndp politicians that campaigned as Conservatives. Recall the whole lot and let's do some real investigating before the next civic (by)election.
Just so sick of their political games and being forced to pay for them to push forward their personal agendas!
By Mistake?? Hope people aren’t buying that BS! Calgary Mayor has been very vocal about Alberta’s separation! I think that just shows that we may have the wrong people in city council if they can’t stay out of the politics and just look after Calgary.
Jeromy "Pathfinder" Farkas, get over yourself! Power has really gone to your head, and because you ran as a councillor, then mayor who would focus on the things a municipal public servant is responsible for--NOT Middle East politics like Gondik stupidly did, nor now provincial referenda as you are now--you are doubly hypocritical. Your personal opinion on these issues should be shared with those who care, not with Calgarians from your mayor's chair.
Hard to believe the NDP runs Calgary. As usual the mayor is pulling numbers out of his butt. What useless piece of crap. One good reason to stay in canada but NO one can give one. If Alberta were its own country business would be knocking down the doors to get away from the liberal nuthouse called Canada. Unfortunately Farkass and the idiot in Edmonton would do their best to chase them away. God Help Canada - please.
Here's the breakdown of ALBERTA monies to the Non-Canadian FEDS -
1. The Federal General Revenue Pool
The Government of Alberta as an institution does not write checks to other provinces or directly fund language programs in places like Ottawa or Quebec. Instead, individual Albertans and Alberta-based corporations pay federal income tax, GST, and corporate taxes directly to the federal government.
Once collected, all of these tax dollars are combined into Ottawa's general revenue pool. Because Alberta has historically enjoyed higher average incomes, stronger employment rates, and high corporate profitability, Albertans collectively pay more into this federal pool per capita than residents of most other provinces.
2. How Federal Funds Pay for Bilingualism
Ottawa uses this centralized pool to fund national initiatives, including Canada’s commitment to official bilingualism. Since Albertans are major net contributors to federal revenues, their tax dollars help finance these initiatives in two primary ways:
• Direct Federal Spending: The federal government spends roughly $1.5 billion annually to run its own operations under the Official Languages Act. This includes providing bilingual federal services (like passport offices or Service Canada), translating federal laws, and giving bilingualism bonuses to federal public servants across the country.
• National Action Plans and Education Grants: Under the federal Action Plan for Official Languages, billions of dollars are distributed across Canada over multi-year cycles. A significant portion goes toward the Protocol for Agreements for Minority-Language Education, which directly subsidizes French-immersion teachers, French-language school boards, and second-language instruction in all provinces.
3. Indirect Funding via Equalization
Federal tax revenues also fund the Equalization program. Equalization transfers unconditional cash grants to provinces with lower "fiscal capacity" to ensure they can provide roughly comparable public services.
Because Alberta has a high fiscal capacity, it receives $0 in Equalization. Meanwhile, provinces that do receive Equalization (such as Quebec, Manitoba, and New Brunswick) use those funds as part of their general provincial budgets. If a recipient province decides to spend its provincial budget on translating provincial laws or expanding local French-language services, federal tax dollars paid by Albertans are indirectly supporting those choices.
Summary
While no money is transferred directly from the Alberta treasury to fund bilingualism elsewhere, Albertans pay federal taxes, and those federal taxes are absolutely used to bankroll bilingual expenses, translation services, and French-language education programs across Canada.
What other federal programs does Alberta support financially that does not help Alberta?
Because Alberta has a younger, higher-earning workforce and stronger corporate profits, its residents pay significantly more into the federal tax pool per capita than they receive back in federal spending. In fact, research shows that Alberta’s net fiscal contribution to the rest of Canada is projected to total $321.9 billion between 2007 and 2027.
Beyond Equalization and bilingualism, there are several major federal programs where tax dollars from Albertans disproportionately support residents in other parts of the country while providing lower relative returns to Alberta:
1. Senior & Retirement Benefits (OAS & GIS)
• The Dynamic: Programs like Old Age Security (OAS) and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) are funded entirely out of general federal tax revenues—not worker investments.
• The Disparity: Alberta has the youngest demographic profile of any Canadian province. Because a lower percentage of Alberta’s population is over the age of 65, billions of federal tax dollars collected from working Albertans are redistributed to support aging populations in Atlantic Canada, Quebec, and Ontario, where the proportion of retirees is much higher.
2. Employment Insurance (EI) Subsidies
• The Dynamic: The federal Employment Insurance program is intended to support unemployed workers. However, the system uses regional rules that make it easier to qualify for benefits, and allows for longer payout periods, in regions with chronically higher unemployment.
• The Disparity: Because Alberta historically maintains higher employment rates and higher average weekly earnings, workers and employers in the province collectively pay massive amounts into the EI pool. A significant portion of this revenue systematically funds extended EI benefits for seasonal and structurally unemployed workforces in other parts of Canada.
3. Asymmetrical Health & Social Transfers (CHT & CST)
• The Dynamic: The federal government distributes money back to the provinces via the Canada Health Transfer (CHT) and Canada Social Transfer (CST) based strictly on population size.
• The Disparity: While Alberta receives its fair per-capita share back (roughly 11.5% of the total cash distribution), it pays a vastly disproportionate amount in. Because Albertans generate about 16% to 17% of total federal tax revenues, they overpay into these social programs. The surplus billions are effectively used by Ottawa to top up the transfer pools that subsidize provincial healthcare and social systems across the rest of Confederation.
4. Regional Economic Development Agencies
• The Dynamic: The federal government funds various regional economic development agencies across the country (such as ACOA in Atlantic Canada or CED in Quebec) to stimulate local businesses and infrastructure.
• The Disparity: Federal funding allocations for economic development are heavily skewed toward historically lower-income or economically stagnant regions. While Alberta is served by PrairiesCan, the tax revenue pulled out of Alberta’s industrial and energy sectors heavily cross-subsidizes economic diversification grants and corporate handouts given to businesses in other provinces.
So rather than that money ending up in the back pockets of CORRUPT non-Alberta politico's, it will at least end up in the pockets of Albertans whether corrupt or not. NO MONEY TO UKRAINE or other GLOBALIST bullshite mass murdering endeavours on behalf of the Jewish State. So its win win for Alberta.
Fukass is just another planted Lefty who, at times, showed some intelligence but being the offspring of Hungarians that fled Communism, seems to have forgotten who runs Canada. Maybe it's the LGBTQ activist in him that helps him forget? I'd also like to know where the hell he gets his numbers from? A Libtard strategist perhaps? A lot of other so-called Calgary independents definitely have a hotline to the NDP / Libtard corporate GLOBALISTs controlling Canada. One would think Alberta's separating would create MORE JOBS and bring in MORE MONEY after NDP Libtard red tape and restrictions are dropped. The money the Feds TAKE could now be applied to Alberta. Frankly what he says makes no sense. It is also not understood that monies taken from Alberta go to funding FEDERAL Marxist programs and minority programs that DO NOT BENEFIT ALBERTA. A good, but small example, is BILINGUALISM. Although Alberta is not bilingual, the money Ottawa takes PAYS FOR IT FEDERALLY. Therefore that IS money NOT going into Alberta. What is also interesting is that Quebec looks to be voting in the PQ and there is renewed talk of Quebec separation. ADIOS is my opinion of that. If that were to occur, that could cause the collapse of the Globalist controlled CORPORATION CANADA. A nation that does SHIT for its people. My last visit to the ER was 18 hour wait. A nation that is willing to send hundreds of millions to murder people in Ukraine. A nation who, through GLOBALIST BANKER Carney now wants to join the EU so they can also milk us for funds to support the dying murderous NAZI regime in Kiev. A conflict NO CANADIAN should support and if they do - there's the fuking airport, off you go!
Whom ever in Calgary gave the order to have the sign taken down, then that Leftist idiot should be fired and they should be labelled as a Traitor and a Communist
Contrived indignation and fearmongering are what passes as patriotism for leftists. For them, a referendum and vote for separation are about losing economic and cultural control so they can force their skewed ideology on the rest of us. The same government that gave us the easily averted housing crisis, record homelessness and food bank usage, a standard of living that has fallen precipitously, and a trade war which they have intentionally fostered while hiking prices for Canadians through tariffs is working diligently to create a Ministry of Truth by policing the internet. How ironic that the prodigious fiscal failures of the Calgary and Edmonton municipal governments have all been wrought by leftists who are now crying about a referendum costing them money.
Canadian provinces don’t even have a free trade agreement so how can canada be called a country? It is a failing confederation of dissimilar cultures and a very arrogant and corrupt prime minister.
Leftists want us to remain an outpost of eastern imperialism. The undemocratic antiquated political system assures the Feds can continue to use Alberta as a resource while coercing the province with it's own money to submit or implement programs not in its best interests.
The removal of Alberta independence signs confirms why Alberta needs to separate. The Canada Forever group is not interested in free speech, individual or national sovereignty. They are either part of the money laundering operation or captured by a childish notion of Canada.
Canada isn't even Canada anymore so the Canada Forever group needs to change it's name . Something like Canada for China .
That is because the remain people are led by the Wit brothers, Dim, Nit and Half.
Well, that is why I moved away from that shitty called Calgary.
Tax increase of 14% ... Are you guys crazy?
New mayor, new corrupted council. They'd get rid of the Stampede if they could.
"Bad News Bears!"
Independence ! Alberta's only hope !
"Signs were removed by mistake..." Someone needs to lose their job over this.
How about farkas and his councilors. They are untrustworthy ndp politicians that campaigned as Conservatives.
You can tell when they push the Canada Forever agenda . Alberta if run right would make a fortune outside Canada once organized .
Exactly! Keith Wilson explains it all. The first order of business in the new nation of Alberta should be to recall all current elected officials province wide!
So much welfare in the government it is hard to count . You can run the Liberals and NDP right out of the country .

What other federal programs does Alberta support financially that does not help Alberta?
Because Alberta has a younger, higher-earning workforce and stronger corporate profits, its residents pay significantly more into the federal tax pool per capita than they receive back in federal spending. In fact, research shows that Alberta’s net fiscal contribution to the rest of Canada is projected to total $321.9 billion between 2007 and 2027.
Beyond Equalization and bilingualism, there are several major federal programs where tax dollars from Albertans disproportionately support residents in other parts of the country while providing lower relative returns to Alberta:
1. Senior & Retirement Benefits (OAS & GIS)
• The Dynamic: Programs like Old Age Security (OAS) and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) are funded entirely out of general federal tax revenues—not worker investments.

So rather than that money ending up in the back pockets of CORRUPT non-Alberta politico's, it will at least end up in the pockets of Albertans whether corrupt or not. NO MONEY TO UKRAINE or other GLOBALIST bullshite mass murdering endeavours on behalf of the Jewish State. So its win win for Alberta.
