Oil’s not well

Article content

I see PM Carney is off to UAE to meet with their head of state. I hope he takes a notebook and asks questions about how to make money on the oil business, because like his predecessor he appears to want to strangle ours.

In deep water

$7.1 billion spent by the government over the last 10 years to address drinking water concerns on First Nations reserves and basically nothing accomplished. If there ever was a good reason for the government to step in and make sure these projects are done by making sure the money is being directed to where it is supposed to go instead of being distributed to other things, then this would be a good place to start.

Travel talk

In response to R. Moskal’s letter (‘Spend your cash at home,’ Calgary Sun, Thursday, Nov. 13), I would just ask one question. If doing ‘the patriotic thing’ means staying in Canada and not travelling to the USA, what do all us sheep do when there’s no more grass to eat in Canada?

Roadmap to Alberta’s future

Premier Smith, use the vote Albertans invested in you. Protect Alberta interests. Protect our future. Declare a short roadmap to sovereignty-association with the rest of Canada. Legislate the roadmap into law. Damn the consequences. Form a police force that swears loyalty to Alberta only. Form an Alberta national guard that can protect our borders. For this, you can use the NWC.

Cream of the crop

The Alberta government should give our illustrious unions everything they ask for. They are, after all, the cream of the crop when it comes to working people in this province. They command a whopping 25% of Alberta’s workforce, and by their own admission, drive our total economy. I’m sure those of us non-union, steerage-class workers would smile at the prospect of our taxes going up by double digits to pay them what they think they deserve. As long as our unionist brothers and sisters have great wages, exceptional benefits, and iron-clad golden pensions, we all can sleep easier at night knowing they have our backs. If us regular workers can’t afford housing, food or any extracurricular benefits of life, it’s somewhat comforting knowing we in the 75th percentile of inferior, non-important workers can keep the elite in the comfort they so richly deserve and they can go to jobs that aren’t too stressful on them. They are, as they keep telling us, essential to our way of life.
