Elon Musk: DOGE should ‘definitely’ investigate Federal Reserve’a $2.5B HQ: ‘eyebrow raiser’ The jew banker parasites need to be exterminated along with their bullshit Ponzi scheme central bank and the red-coat filth in that city of london corporation who are waging financial-economic war and psychological war against us. When are we going to start taking these bastards out? Also that kike Kushner is a little chump…

Sadly, Kevin did indeed ruin this interview. Totally support Tony on his criticisms. Kevin devolved the discussion into a climate change truther session and then criticized the Albertans for supporting their self-interest. I certainly do not see Kevin criticizing the Muslim Oil Sheikdoms in the way he worked over Tony and the Albertans.
Alberta has been financially subsidizing Canada and specifically the populated and liberal eastern Canada with large transfer payments. These payments have been made without significant representation or support from the Federal government (as Tony stated). Canada’s annualized ten-year economic growth rate is less than 0.5%. Canada’s wealthiest province has GDP on par with the poorest US state, Mississippi, yet Mississippi has much lower costs of living while having the lowest homeless rate in the US and the largest percentage of African American homeowners of the 50 states.
Canada is in this position because of the “woke” virtue signaling of Canadians and an artificial identity which may be described as “not American” or “anti-American”.
Hockey is used to promote a national identity and when Canadian hockey is weak the pros simply avoid international competition in the Olympics – which they have now for quite some time. Improvement in Canadian offensive capabilities with their pro players now will draw them back into play. The recent mini four country tournament was a test balloon; Canada squeaked out a victory so the pros may be back on their way to the Winter Olympics but probably without Russia who is the main competitor.

You simply do not know what is happening in Canada at this moment in history.

Alberta separatism is not driven by big oil and gas interests. Alberta separatism is driven by people’s anger over the long history of being used by central Canadian business interests, coupled with the arrogance of the average central Canadian, without due consideration, which has now come to a perilous head with the election (largely by central Canada) of a WEF puppet who’s task is to destroy Canada and its sovereignty so that international banker’s can control all the national resources in Canada. Most Albertans do not want to leave Canada but realize that separation is now a better prospect for retaining future standard of living and freedom than remaining in Canada.

Like Tony Hall, I live in Alberta. I was born in raised across all three prairie provinces and also lived in Ontario for 40 years (yes, I am old). I’ve seen first hand both sides of this issue in Canada.

Your generalizations are rubbish.

Can you substantiate your statistics?

Alberta was a have-not province until the Arab oil embargo of 1973. Oil was produced at a taxpayer subsidized cost paid by all Canadians.

Having said that I agree that Alberta has been insulted and ill treated by the Canadian liberal government for many years.

The $ 14 billion or so annual transfer payments to the province of Quebec alone are enough to give fair minded Canadians the creeps. Why? Because oil revenues in Alberta are part and parcel of the provincial income assessment, whereas the Quebec revenues from exporting hydro-electric power are not used for the same calculation. Hence Quebec is deemed a have-not province. If I were a Quebecker I’d be insulted by this treatment; but then free money is just that and it doesn’t stink.

Don’t even get me going on the Quebec government’s refusal to allow a trans-Canada pipeline to be built across its territory. A public opinion poll of Quebeckers favored such a pipeline by 74%.

Graft and payoffs are part and parcel of the Canadian political landscape; however, Quebec has raised this art to unbelievable levels as an investigation into political corruption in Montreal proved some years ago.

Albertans have justifiable complaints against the Canadian federal government.

To apply this criticism to all eastern Canadians is stupid. I live in Cambridge Ontario and we just elected a conservative MP, as did much of non-Toronto Ontarians.

Perhaps you are one of the Alberta brigade sowing dissent against all eastern Canadians? Were you part of the group that placed bumper stickers reading “Let the eastern Bastard freeze in the dark”?

Didn’t you read that I spent 40 years in Ontario? I am well aware that no population is homogeneous, which is why I used the term “average” when referring to the attitudes of central Canadians. The fact that Ontario went heavily liberal in the last election illustrates that.

The key issue at hand is Carney, the WEF stooge. All of Canada is going to suffer immeasurably under his rule. The only way forward for Alberta, and the other provinces for that matter, is to separate.

Kevin writes,

“Alberta separatism driven by big oil and gas interests pushing the most absurdly and transparently fallacious non-arguments-just-soundbites against climate change is a lot less interesting. (I don’t claim to know the truth about the scientific debate, but I know idiotic non-arguments-just-soundbites when I hear them.)’

Too bad, Kevin, you insisted in trying to bully the discussion into an outgrowth of your wanting to go along with the view that carbon is a great danger to the future of human civilization. Your preoccupation with your own supposed expertise on the topic of carbon capture, carbon taxing etc prevented you from hosting a more open-minded discussion of what is going on in Canada. A lot more is going on than “big oil and gas” interests pushing their agenda. What an ill-considered accusation with the small-minded aim of shutting down the need for much more careful analysis and commentary.

What’s ailing you Kevin to come up with such a superficial and pugnacious characterization of what is going on in Alberta and Canada? In my view your credibility has diminished significantly since you joined with Ron Unz at a moment of truth in his outspoken “anti-vaxx crackpottery” intervention in defence of the US pharmaceutical industry not to mention the DOD designers of the bioweapon injections disguised as a remedy for a supposedly new coronavirus.

The Covidian crimes, which you downplay and underestimate, are flowing into new forms of engineered depopulation and all that comes with it. You didn’t see genocide flowing from the Covidian bioweapons because you couldn’t see mass graves. Are you an apologist for the netzero manipulations epitomized by the political economy well embodied in the banksterism of Mark Carney.

Here’s a rally today hosted at the Alberta Legislature. There’s a lot of history articulated here that might help you see the tunnel vision you are displaying on a topic you have decided to decide before taking the time to investigate.

Sincerely,

Your post validated my arguments and facts. The transfer payments are theft from Alberta. This would be the same as Alaska having transfer payments made to the US Federal government.

I know first hand that for the same position in the USA, pay is 40% higher than in Canada! This is based on direct comparison with the same company.

Maybe people there simply are not aware but they should be. Canadians are being played with this false identity.

United States
89,105

Canada

FYI, GDP per capital 2025.
No excuse for this. Canada is a country with a lot of mineral and resource wealth and should be like Norway which is on par for GDP per capita with USA.

GDP is not a good way to measure the financial well-being of a nation’s population. This due to the fact that the USA is a Finance Economy where more money can be made by shuffling commercial paper than by doing real work that benefits the population.

Would you happen to know the standard deviation of the data points you showed?

How about the mean of the data set used to calculate the average?

Permit me to illustrate my concern with the “average” of a data set and how it may not represent any data in the set:

Imagine calculating the average height of all the grade one students plus all the grade eight students. You will agree that resultant average is not representative of anything in the data set; it is a mathematical abstraction. Adding the standard deviation to the measure would show the dispersion of the data set with no data point being close to the average.

The mean of the data set is that number which has equal data points above and below that number. This is another way of showing how representative (or not) the mean data point is of the entire data set.

The GDP is a measure of economic activity which, in the USA at least, is badly skewed by commercial paper shuffling and military expenditures. An interesting bit I recently read: The USA military budged is now over $ 1 Trillion, whereas the governments tax revenue is $ 5 Trillion. Add $ 1Trillion in interest payments to that. How do these expenditures benefit the tax payer???

Aside: Even with that huge military budget, nuclear weapons are not included in that budged! These weapon’s costs are part and parcel of the Department of Energy’s budged.

I live in Canada and have travelled in the USA a fair bit. I prefer living here where I do not have to worry about medical bills payment and resultant bankruptcy. You do know that the great majority of personal bankruptcies in the USA are due to medical bills? What kind of modern nation is that?

It is worse than I stated because the only province with a higher GDP per capita than Mississippi is Ontario. So, the lowest GDP per capital state, Mississippi, has a higher GDP per capita than any province except Ontario. I know first-hand that the cost of living in Mississippi, or any other of the US states, with a few pockets of exception (NYC, Beverley Hills,…) is much lower than in Ontario.

Either Canadians are not aware of how bad off they are or they are simply blinding themselves with the propaganda and the:”Canadian identify”. It appears that your situation is the latter.

I know first-hand that for the same position in the USA, pay is more than 40% higher than in Canada! This is based on direct comparison with the same company. And the cost of living and overall tax burden is lower in the USA. I think there needs to be real reform in Canada and I repeat that Canada could be ranked for GDP like Norway based on the mineral and resource wealth that the country has.

GDP per Capita:

United States
89,105

Canada
53,558

Repeating questionable data does not make it meaningful.

I’d appreciate an answer to my queries in # 11 above. Thanks.

As to total tax burdens, one needs to include property taxes and various associated fees, medical costs, holiday pay, etc etc.

You make some good points. I strongly urge anybody interested in Canada to read Peter Brimelow’s (from Vdare) book THE PATRIOT GAME. It shows that Canada should be much richer than the USA but is actually poorer. As Brimelow explains in the book this is almost entirely due to deliberate political mismanagement of the economy by the liberals.

Alberta would be much wealthier as an independent country.
