@cbcedmonton: We asked students at the University of Alberta which of the referendum ballot topics feels the most personal to their experience. Here's what they told us ahead of the What Happens Next panel discussion at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 2. Catch the conversation, featuring Jason Kenney, Keith Wilson and Marie Gordon, live on our YouTube and TikTok channels. #alberta #canada #student #vote #politicaltiktok
The funny thing is is they’re all talking to people that live in cities and have no idea what’s going on and what the farmers are dealing with when a lot of the farmers that I see support it. It’s not just oil workers and it’s not just big tycoons. it’s literally farmers that have so many rules and so many taxes. They have to pay to even sell their products within Canada, not to mention the diesel that it takes to run a farm city People are so absolutely unbelievably dumb when it comes to this

The referendum is essentially a battle of positive taxpayers and negative taxpayers or those not in the workforce

The Alberta government has been against the people FOR A LONG TIME. why is it that those on income support are encouraged to work but almost all of the wages that they get from working get deducted from income support?? so at the end of the day you're still just left with the same amount of money (MAYBE a $100 or $200 more) and still unable to pay any bills and get out of poverty.
They don't care about the people they only care about what makes them more rich and if that means taking advantage/exploit many immigrants (and struggling families) that they asked for to make the population 10 million so they could get more seats, then of course that's what they're going to do, that's what racist people have been doing for centuries, and they need to get out of office because we're not repeating history anymore.

It’s crazy go to nait and ask the same question to tradesman that have been out working I feel like you will see a much different prospective from those the same age who are not currently loaning money from the federal government and are instead giving away chunks of their pay checks everyday and seeing nothing in return

Western vote means nothing when the PM is announced before polls even close everywhere west of Winnipeg. If you want to be heard you must move east .

We know that a lot of the transfer payments go to quebec. We also know that quebec has 200 years of natural gas they refuse to drill for.If they would start drilling and exporting natural gas we could either save on the transfer payments or give it to a needier province. Electricity so cheap out there they heat their homes with it.
