Quote from: DKG on July 18, 2025, 10:08:02 AMWe all know a competing private health care system is inevitable to save public health care.
I do not give a shit who delivers health care as long as it is there when we need it. About on in four Canadians cannot access health care because they cannot find a doctor. Tens of thousands of Canadians are dying every year waiting for surgeries.

We spend a fortune on health care. For Christ sake fix it now and stop playing games.

Quote from: Herman on July 17, 2025, 06:36:38 PMI do not care anymore if it is the government or private companies delivering health care so long as we can access it when we need it. We cannot do that anymore.

Time to cut the free loaders loose. Imagine what we could do in Alberta and Saskatchewan with all the money that is extracted from us.

Quote from: DKG on July 17, 2025, 10:20:16 AMCanadian health care was already unsustainable. No province will be able to afford the current way we pay for health care in the coming years. This will speed up the demise of our health care model. That is not necessarily a bad thing.

I'm sure some excuse will be made at some point to tax the citizenry more to prop it up. Along with the creation of more bureaucracy to ensure the money gets spent "wisely", just look at Britain's NHS.

What would your family do with an extra $11,240 every year?

That's what the average Alberta household would save through tax reductions if we became independent.

The math is simple: Alberta sends $68-75 BILLION (just in federal taxes) to Ottawa annually but gets only $22-26 billion back.

Not only would independence mean lower taxes, it would mean lower pension contributions, reduced tuition costs, and enhanced healthcare.

The Liberal Party of Canada's base is now old whites. Old white Canadians are selfish assholes who don't give a fuck if the current and future generations suffer because of their votes. Another reason why I don't want my sons growing up in that future third world hole.

Keeping C-69, the industrial emissions ceiling, the Impact Assessment, C-48 means Conman Carney aint having it. Giving a veto to any one province and Indians was the final nail in the coffin for Alberta and Saskatchewan.
