Don’t get me wrong, they irritate me too for a number of reasons. They’re just another thing that someone else is doing that if only they didn’t do that everything would be great, which is why I don’t really like that the payments draw so much attention.
It’s great that Kenney wants to scrap the carbon tax and hold a referendum on equalisation payments, it’s great that Notley wants to get new pipelines built, but wake me up when either of them have the balls to focus on the main issue: the way we (Alberta) collect and distribute our wealth is fundamentally flawed. Someone, somewhere, give enough of a #### to do something about that, then i’ll start handing out a little more credit.
Right now this province and our politicians are just dogs chasing a bone into traffic.
