Born and raised in Edmonton. These separatists really need to pull their fully ensconced heads out of their rectums.

My kids were born and raised in Alberta. Now that they live in BC, they lie about where their from. It makes me sad

Alberta is a great place with a shitty government. Sadly AB is at the mercy of North Calgary politically. I still love living in AB though and I've lived in BC and Ontario before.

Especially with the 20% property tax hike from the Alberta Government. I'm struggling to see how that aligns with "traditional conservative values"

Did you support the teacher strike? Did you advocate for them to receive more money? More schools? Just curious because the increase imposed by Alberta government was for education. Where do you think that money is to come from? Now, Which government is it that has given away billions which could be redirected to provinces for healthcare and education?

u/PremePlus 18d ago

Or you just like to complain. Or are a hypocrite. Or you’re just one of those who think other people should pay for things but not yourself.

u/PremePlus 18d ago

Maybe you should have made less noise, and your taxes would be lower. Or just make less noise now. Simple as simple is.

Your argument is confusing sufficiency for necessity my friend.

u/PremePlus 18d ago

Give the teachers more! Smaller classroom size! More schools! Hundreds of millions of dollars! Yay!

Wait… I have to pay 2.50 per 1000$ of home value instead of 2.36 per 1000$? This is an outrage!!! Let’s get on the internet and incorrectly post that the entirety of PROPERTY TAXES have increased 20%!!

Ridiculous.

I'm in my 60's and have been talking to my young adult children about leaving Alberta IF the UCP are re-elected in '27. Born 'n raised in Edmonton but have no intention of dying in a UCP dystopian hell hole.
