Oil is not good

I see that Prime Minister Carney going to the UAE meet with the head of your state. I hope he picks up a notepad and asks questions about how to make money in the oil business, because like his predecessor, he seems to want to strangle ours.

In deep water

Over the past 10 years, the government has spent $7.1 billion to solve drinking water problems on First Nations reserves, but achieved virtually nothing. If there was ever a good reason for the government to step in and ensure these projects go ahead, ensuring that the money goes where it needs to go rather than being diverted to other purposes, then this would be a good starting point.

Travel talk

In response to R. Moskal’s letter (“Spend money at home,' Calgary SunThursday, November 13th), I would only ask one question. If doing the “patriotic thing” means staying in Canada and not going to the US, what are all of us sheep to do when there is no more grass to eat in Canada?

Roadmap for Alberta's Future

Premier Smith, use the voices of Albertans invested in you. Protect Alberta's interests. Protect our future. Announce a short road map to sovereignty-association with the rest of Canada. Enshrine the road map into law. Damn the consequences. Form a police force that swears allegiance only to Alberta. Form an Alberta National Guard that can protect our borders. For this you can use NVC.

Cream of the crop

The Alberta government must give our illustrious unions everything they ask for. After all, they are 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, control our entire economy. I'm sure those of us who are non-union and upper class workers would smile at the prospect of our taxes increasing by double digits to pay them what they think they deserve. As long as our union brothers and sisters have high salaries, exceptional benefits and ironclad pensions, we can all sleep easy at night knowing they have our back. If we average workers can't afford housing, food, or any of the extras of life, it's somewhat comforting to know that we, in the 75th percentile of lower, non-essential workers, can provide the elite with the comfort they so richly deserve so they can go to work that doesn't cause them too much stress. They are, as they keep telling us, essential to our way of life.
