Stole from Facebook.
Peace Country taking it like champs.
This is why recall legislation is needed.


Email i received from NDP MLA-feel like I was totally bitchslapped.


Thank you for the email! I hope you are having a wonderful day as well.

Please do not assume that every person employed by the Legislative Assembly knows nothing about agriculture or farms. Many of us working in the Constituency Offices have been raised on farms and are completely knowledgeable about the issues that farmers face.

So on a go forward, don’t assume that you are the only ones who have experienced farm life.

Merry Christmas!



Sincerely,

Dianne Nellis
Constituency Assistant

I'd like to see the original letter to the MLA. I'm betting it was not worded very well. Hence the "piss off" email.

Or maybe it's the fact that she is getting sick of getting so many emails on the same subject........

Go represent your people.

Not a big fan of online petitions but it might help in some way..... 2/3 there, get friends and family signing it.

Friends/Family signing is all good to as long as they are on the same page. But it is the new way to get to all the people through social media as i have seen very few paper petitions in towns in my travels, all though i would like to see more of this. There is people going around canvassing now and will be for awhile as more sign up to canvass. If you can sign the Wildroses petition on bill 206 at change.org as we so need to get rid of Adolf Knothead/Crew, as all Albertans should be heard with regards as to this chit show that is happening.

The NDP are shutting down debate on Bill 6 at the legislature as we speak. Wildrose has done everything we can to speak on this legislation, to stop it, and to have the voices of concerned Albertans heard.

Sadly, the NDP care more about forcing through their ideological agenda instead of listening and doing what’s best for all of Alberta.

There are still two stages of debate left. We can keep fighting back. Can you take just one minute to write to the NDP to stop ramming through Bill 6? Email [email]premier@gov.ab.ca[/EMAIL] right now and tell them what you think.

If you haven’t yet, please on Facebook.

Thousands and thousands of laid off O&G workers. Hundreds of companies going under or shutting the doors. The Middle East flooding the market with cheap oil. Big business going elsewhere ,and this
is the fight she chooses (Bill 6).

Holy FAWK are we in trouble.

I find it ironic that the Saudis are flooding the Market with cheap oil and we gave them G3 (Canadian Wheat Board) for free.

We should cut their food off.

BEST BAR JOKE EVER


A guy goes into a bar in Edmonton where there is a robot bartender. The robot says, "What will you have?


The guy replies, "Whiskey."


The robot brings back his drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"


The guy say, "168."


The robot continues to talk about physics, space exploration, and medical technology.





After the guy leaves and the more he thinks about it, the more curious he gets, so he decides to go back.


The robot asks, "What's your drink?"


The guy answers, "Whiskey."


The robot returns with his drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"


The man replies, "100."


The robot talks about Nascar, Budweiser, the Eskimos, and Oilers.


The man finishes his drink, leaves, but is so interested in his "experiment" that he decides to try again.


He enters the bar and, as usual, the robot asks him what he want to drink.


The man replies, "Whiskey."


The robot brings the drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"


The man answers, "50."





The robot leans in real close and asks,


"So . . . are . . . you people . . . still happy . . . with the NDP?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the online petition means nothing. People need to physically sign a petition on paper for it to mean anything and they need 250,000 signatures.

How soon after the May 5 provincial election did you wake up and realize it wasn’t just a dream — the sort of horrible dream you can still be in therapy for years later?
I suspect a lot of Albertans realized they were waking up to a real-life nightmare and would have asked for a do-over on May 6.
Maybe it took you longer. Maybe it took until late June when you realized the NDP pledge to raise minimum wage by nearly 50 per cent applied to your small business. Or maybe you didn’t regret your anti-Tory vote until the NDP decreed your income tax rate was going up 50 per cent. Or until you heard they would raise Alberta’s existing carbon tax by 50 per cent and corporate taxes by 20 per cent.
Or maybe your wakeup call was when Premier Rachel Notley cheerily implemented an entirely new carbon tax on nearly everything that moves, burns, hums, whirls or glows beginning in 2017 — a tax that will cost ordinary Alberta families at least $470 a year (and very likely more); not to mention what it will do to the provincial economy.
Or perhaps it was just recently when the NDP used bully tactics to force through their farm-safety legislation, Bill 6.
While most Albertans have already awakened, the NDP have not. They are still living the dream; still pretending the spring election was a ringing endorsement of their ideological agenda.
Never mind that hundreds of thousands of voters cast ballots for the NDP not because they want them in, but because they wanted the Tories out. And never mind that nowhere in their platform did the Dippers mention a carbon tax that is essentially a sales tax by another name. Nor did they pledge to completely overturn farming and farm life in the province.
Notley and her party see the election results as a licence to print legislation, no matter how unpopular, and still claim they are acting on the will of the people.
“We’re working at long last to reverse many years of bad decisions by the Conservative government … (and) to return Alberta to its core values and priorities,” the premier told a rally of her supporters at Edmonton’s MacEwan University on Saturday.
But just what core values and priorities does she mean?
She seems to mean a mix of the values and priorities of the Getty and Redford years — overspending, massive deficits, exploding debt, meddling in the economy and social engineering — because she blasted other past Tory governments for “cutting and slashing our health care system and our schools.”
Huh!?
When the NDP defeated the Tories, Alberta was the biggest spender in the country per capita on education and health care combined. Granted, the Prentice government wanted to hold spending at 2015 levels, but that hardly constitutes dangerous “cutting and slashing” — except, of course, in New Dippersville.
Notley also claimed 90 per cent of Albertans are paying less tax than they would have under former premier Jim Prentice’s Progressive Conservative government. But to make that claim, Notley has to include a health care premium that was never implemented.
And her claim will only be true until her carbon tax kicks in, which will cost many families twice what the Tories health care tax would have.
Enough Albertans have awakened to what the NDP are up to that the party’s support has fallen by nearly a third since May, at a time when most new governments are enjoying a honeymoon with voters.
And just wait until her government’s policies lengthen the current recession, slow Alberta’s recovery and revive economic diversification boondoggles of the likes of Al-Pac, Gainers, Swan Hills, Millar Western and Novatel.
