I'm starting to get a little sick of hearing stuff from people like: Alberta Advantage doesn't include insert the phrase "hardworking" (because it certainly sounds a lot better than "dog F*&#ing") Insert shameless self-interested demographic here. Only to hear the only justification being that in our free world, that also suffers from a lack of limitless resources, sometimes tradeoffs have to be made to get things done and that certainly a "Hardworking" demographic like Insert Shameless self-interested demographic here somehow deserve the public purse to subsidize something to enable them to have their cake and eat it too. Afterall Insert shameless self-interested demographic here provides Insert overstated contribution to society made by shameless self-interested that's endangered by not getting their cake and eating it too.
This pretty much sums up post-boom Alberta whine from anyone who feels that they should have hit it rich like many others on the basis of nothing other than having maintained their primary residence within the boundaries of a politically defined geographic region.
