The NDP seems to hate Alberta. Or at least, anybody in Alberta who doesn't have a white collar job.
Does that seem harsh? An exaggeration?
First came their war on Alberta's energy and resource industries, but now they've launched a bizarre stealth attack on the province's family farms of all things.
Bill 6 is designed to unionize family farms. It makes no sense on so many levels.
The only explanation is that the NDP wants to destroy Alberta culture itself. And that could impact the whole country.
But we're fighting back, with your help...
Tonight, my guests are:
Immigration Critic Michelle Rempel: Is she really prepared to ask tough, necessary questions about the Liberal's Syrian refugee plan?
Watch and see -- You might be surprised...
PLUS: Toronto Sun columnist and Generation Screwed author Candice Malcolm provides a valuable perspective on the refugee issue.
The Liberals are obsessed with permanent resettlement, but what about those refugees who want to return to their homelands?
Is Canada prepared to help them, too? And if so, how?
And of course, I finish with your viewer mail, good and bad. Remember to leave your comments, too!

We need a true conservative voice in opposition to keep the liberal’s feet to fire.

Take for example that there is a reported 2.2 billion Christians, most Catholic. But that number is derived from people born into a Catholic family. But that does not mean they believe the Bible nor follow its teachings, so therefore they are not Catholic/Christian.
So I have to disagree with you that all Muslims are radicals because not all of them follow the Koran. Now I would say that all Islamists are radicals, because following Islam is a choice and the Koran teaches hatred and death to all infidels.
I could be wrong, but that is the way I see it.
All Muslims are radical, if they were not, they would not believe in thr Quran. The Quran is a radical book and it teaches Muslims to be radical.
Muslims are migrating, all over the world, for one reason and that is Jihad or world domination, that is why they are coming here, to Canada. All it takes is one word from their local Imam and any Muslim will take up arms, against Canadians. It is a pity that with the Liberal Government, Canadian tax payers are footing the bill, for the importation of their future killers.
On another subject. Kathleen Wynne has just taken 3.7 Billion from the Education fund to pay for her Union friends expenses. This, from an email sent by my local PC MPP.
I’ll grant that if Trudeau actually only takes displaced Syrian families (unlike the assorted young men pouring into Europe), then these refugee’s quality will be much higher than in Europe. I’ll also grant that most of them who are willing to come to Canada as opposed to Europe (which has far fewer compatriots, is much less generous towards them, and has terrible weather to boot) will probably be interested in building a life here, in stark contrast to what’s happening in Europe.
However, I disagree on a number of points.
First, the $1.1 billion is a projection by the liberal government themselves, and it does not include any ancillary costs (ongoing healthcare, education, immigration services, policing etc.). The real costs are nebulous and difficult to calculate without insider knowledge, but they will be much higher than this, that’s for certain.
Second, your understanding of economics is wrong. The vast majority of these refugees will be a drain on our economy. If you can somehow delude yourself into thinking that 25,000 people, the majority with no skills or education, can come to Canada and somehow pay more in taxes than they will withdraw in their lifetime then I commend you on your impressive pretzel-like logic. It is incredibly artistic. However, no matter how you twist it, you’re still objectively wrong.
Consider that an average refugee family settles in Edmonton. First, it’s likely that only the husband will work, but let’s assume the wife works too. The husband makes $40k/year (a generous assumption, I know, but I’ll play ball) and the also wife makes $40k/year (jackpot). This family will pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $13k/year. But wait, we’re forgetting some relevant factors. The average Syrian family has 4 children.
-After deductions, they will be paying no tax.
-The family will cost an average of $35k/year in health care costs (assuming they’re as healthy as other Canadians).
-The 4 children will cost an average of $30k/year in primary schooling.
-I won’t bother to speculate as to other ancillary costs (increased policing, infrastructure, administrative services)
-Now consider when they begin the process to reunite their families by bringing granny and granddad over etc.
Anyways you get the point. If you can square this circle then you’re a wizard (and a liar).
The Fraser Institute claims that the average immigrant (allegedly vetted to fill job niches, allegedly vetted to benefit the economy) costs us 6k/year. Imagine how expensive refugees will be relative to the “cream of the crop”. Don’t feed me lies and propaganda, I don’t believe anything without vetting the information myself.

Third, I hold that Canada is a nation, and nations put their own citizens above others, it’s their purpose. The government shouldn’t be paying to help Syrians when there are Canadians who live in squalor and despair. This is just an axiomatic fact, unless you don’t believe Canada is a nation, or that nations don’t owe a duty to their citizens.
Fourth, if we are going to take Syrian refugees, then we should only take those who are in immediate danger of being killed. If all refugees lives are equally threatened, then we should help them all equally, and thus help the most number possible, and thus help them abroad. However, if we admit some refugees are in more danger than others, and we should take only those most in danger, then I would put it to you that we should only accept Christian (or Jewish etc.) refugees into Canada, for these religious minorities are being butchered, even in camps.
Nevertheless, if we want to help as many as possible, we do it abroad; if we want to help the most vulnerable, we only accept Christians.
Man those were tough questions for a politician. I was disappointed by her non-answers.
The answer to refugees isn’t to keep them fed in a camp. We don’t want to house people in a camp. That’s just keeping them breathing.
What we’re doing by bringing refugees into our country is we’re bringing in people who want to make new lives for themselves and to work and be part of the economy. Refugees aren’t a drain on the economy. And the 1.1 Billion dollar figure is incorrect. It’s just over half of that. Further a large chunk of that has to be paid back by the refugees once they’re resettled (starting at 6 months after arrival or when they start work, whichever comes first).
And we do help our own. But helping the homeless and veterans is a complicated issue. No one is stopping you from sponsoring a homeless person or veteran. Go for it.
Right now, there are no standards and when people get hurt it’s at least partially because people aren’t trained or don’t have the right safety equipment.
Did you know Alberta is largely just copying the laws from Saskatchewan and Manitoba? Alberta is the only province where the agriculture industry is not subjected to normal health and safety laws. The other provinces seem to be fine.
Stop making a mountain of nothing. It’s not even a mole hill. What a crock.
Maybe they are, PETER. But if the farmers are indeed “small c” conservative, it looks like their representatives are already suckin’ up to the green slime and the alfalfa eaters. That’s how it started in Ontario too….

If these Agenda 21 directives are allowed to take effect, it will place significant regulatory pressure on small farms and family farms all across North America — costing them 10s of thousands of dollars and possibly forcing many of them out of business.
But we all know what redundant socialist “regulation and control” has done to other industries. Unfortunately for farmers, they cannot relocate off shore to escape regulatory persecution. Unfortunately for consumer’s food production is a vital resource in which ANY government regulating or fiscal stress causes a dramatic increase in costs and shortages. But isn’t that the goal of the Agenda 21 – attempt at global over-regulation and critical dependency on the state for vital resources which it has defacto reverted ownership from private to state hands through regulation.
We see the Agenda 21 movement against the family farm and private land ownership which Notley is pursuing. It is a carbon copy of what has been done at a state level in the US Agenda 21 models of Wisconsin and Illinois – in those states the Agenda 21 governments have regulated the age and qualification of farm equipment operation, have emission limits for farm equipment and require farmers to ensure all workers for accidents – massive cost increases for small family operations are causing many to face bankruptcy – when they do who do you suppose holds the land in trust for the debtors> – Yup the Agenda 21 state.
Notley and Wynn are on track in their Agenda 21 harassment of small agricultural producers – you can see that in the two recent stories the Rebel is running here –In Ontario swat raids and police harassment for private milk production –what is next for Alberta with all this regulation? – why obviously the creation of”farm police” like we saw gooning Michael Schmidt in Ont.
I you must eat to survive, you should be concerned when globalist fascists try to control your food supply.

This whole stupid refugee mess is one of the reasons the Conservatives got defeated, because they couldn’t make a real stand and call the despicable Fin Donnelly out for his traitorous lies.
I want a real opposition who points out what a complete and moron Trudeau is and to tell him to just go screw.
