and this current NDP govt has put us farther into debt than Alberta has ever been, and no sign of even trying to balance the budget until after their term...... you would call this good? wtf!! And all their spending won't affect the average Albertan, other than possibly job losses.... They're trying to impose their beliefs onto Alberta, to form their idealized socialist society, rather than what a good government should do, by promoting our province and what we have, and attempting to spark the oil/timber/mining/farming sectors, rather than imploding them, and in the case of mining and oil, "putting them down" every chance they get....

Look how Saskatchewan just picked up a major oil investment, and LEX bypassed Alberta, because of the poor investor interest in the province, which is brought on by the NDP and their royalty review, carbon tax, etc.... Yes I believe a fair carbon tax should be implemented, but I doubt to the extent Knothead wants to instill...

Just a note that if there is a carbon tax we here in Alberta will never see any of that money anyway. It will be put into coffers and the East do not kid yourself. Its all bull**** you don't implement taxes when your province is in a chit storm of hurt. This Government has to go period.

Why? The carbon tax is a scam.

That's a pretty picture there, however that is not a primary treatment pond or should i say lake.
I do not beleive 90% of the h2o the process uses is from ponds.

I also do not believe, that you have never bin to one, seen one, or really know what they do or not do with the water or anything about the processes..

Just someone told you it was bad.

To be considered in the top 1% in the world you only need to make a little over 32k per year. The trick is to not have any debt.

Your credibility , if you had any , went right down the crapper with this statement . Debt is something that can earn you huge financial advantage, but it has to be managed properly. A blanket statement To say having none is the trick, shows a severe lack of financial awareness. Your sights may be set a bit low.

Not sure what your point is? 32k won't get you far in Canada but would be okay in SE Asia, other than that ??

All my point was is that to be considered in the richest 1% world wide you need to make 32k per year and be debt free. That was it.

Who the hell cares about world wide, do we live in a world wide nation? Why would I compare myself to the people living in poverty in slums?

Compare yourself to your nations earners and In 2013 it's $222,000 to be in the top 1% with the average in that bracket earning $450,000.

“I mean no disrespect when I say this but here’s my offer: I’ll invest $1 million in Canadian energy companies if out of grace and for the absolute good of Canada the premier of Alberta resigns,” O’Leary said.
“I wouldn’t touch them now because she doesn’t know what she’s doing.”

“Please step down, please, do it for Canadians,” he begged.

No we do not live in a world wide nation but we most certainly live in a global economy. You have to realize how small of a market Canada really is. Yes massive in land and resources but so small in population. It's extremely difficult to market our products on a global scale with so much competition worldwide which is why we rely so heavily on the USA. Once the market corrects its self and it always will as long as world population continues to grow there will be growth in the marketplace. Time and patience and no one single government from any country can single handedly change that.
