Why is the right so obsessed about their own police force? I think most people have respect for the RCMP which to me is a major issue. I doubt your average Alberta would even know who they are. How would Alberta staff such a force with able bodied individuals in our labor shortage?
Rail line? Economics please. I dare you to tell the oil company dudes (and I work in a place that epitomizes this) who go to the field to that they should ditch their F350 for a train to Edmonton, followed by a rental car to whereever. That'll be a UofA commuter train back for students.
If your counting on your CPP (or some sort of public pension plan) to ride out your retirement plan - good luck. Whether it's branded as APP or CPP - same crap, different pile. Look at the Heritage Fund as to how pathetic the AB govt's investment record has been. (now if you had Ontario Teachers Plan run the thing....)
