The CEBA loan program would not have been necessary if all businesses would have told the Gov’t to go fekk yourself and refused to close BUT they didn’t and instead “borrowed” money they KNEW had to be repaid, well 50% anyways. That was a $20,000 gift out of the taxpayers purse for businesses thank you very much. NOW all the boohooing commences because business owners aren’t paying back their debts and leaving it to the taxpayer to shoulder their default resulting rampant inflation and impending poverty. I can’t tell you how annoyed I am at the moment

We are not a serious country when a federally owned company, owned by taxpayers I’ll add, is the only company willing to do this. It’s a joke. We continue to chase away investment and it continues to attack our very way...

“Smith played her hand deftly by insisting Albertans have the right to be heard.
But recently she has come out very strongly as a federalist, at times appearing to be an ambitious politician with federal aspirations.
Proudly announcing that she “trusts Mark Carney” is also revealing and disappointing — his bending and often breaking the truth is a matter of documentation, not opinion. “
Much of her behaviour has been anything but conservative, including claiming to derisk the project, which really means transferring the risk to Alberta taxpayers.
“Danielle Smith’s role has been surprising and disappointing. With time pressure on Carney to have early success regarding his “build Canada” imperative, she unwisely allowed the pressure of time to work against Alberta.
A more experienced negotiator would have recognized the advantage of time and negotiated accordingly.
Instead, Premier Smith accepted the punishing carbon tax ...
