Nope just means I have more get myself into trouble money.

That is the case but if you keep working then there is more of the big bucks accumulated for toys and that should be relaxation time...............

A farmers work is never done.

When it feels more like work than fun, it is time to quit. Not worth the risk most days, you gotta love what you do!

Yep old battle ax Redford is going to make rural Alberta pay for our lack of loyalty.

 

[byronkentgraham]

She wants to add 17 billion in debt while cutting the subsidy? Might have to vote Wildrose next time. Hopefully both parties get new candidates.

Just got a call from my gal at AFSC this morning. Redford has just struck again!!!! The government has now axed all straight hail agents and you will now only be able to buy straight hail from AFSC from your district office or online. I have a really good friend who has sold me hail insurance for alot of years and this will affect him big. He can still sell me insurance from line companies but they are usually not as competitive as AFSC on there rates for our area anyways. Its Wildrose again for me!!!

We go entirely through AFSC anyways. Not a big deal here.

I'm sure it won't affect everyone. Just don't like the way Redford's week has been trending. Can't stand her before and it ain't getting any better.

When the election came around it was a lesser of two evils for me. I really didn't like Danielle Smith and Jason Hale couldn't hold a candle to our previous MLA.

I met Danielle at a function in High River. Very nice person who was fed up with the direction the Tories went post Ralph. Never met Redford but don't need to. I can spot lying eyes a mile away. We had a awesome Tory rep in our area for years but he retired after having his fill of Stelmach's government. Our new Wildrose elected rep is a local farmer and so far is trying to make the government accountable.

I fully expect a WR government next election. I just hope we get Arno Doerksen back as our MLA.

Smith commented yesterday that she has some Tories who are interested in crossing the floor after the budget was released. You may get your wish?
