Default The Destroyers

Just finished reading Sheila Gunn Reid's book "The Destroyers - Rachel Notley and the NDP's War on Alberta". This is a must read for all Albertans, it's downright scary. You can get it from Amazon.ca for under $10 and, it is worth every penny and more. It just confirms everything that the NDP stand for and what we as Albertans are in for.

Although you are entitled to your opinion, the contents of any post election script is a biased opinion from disgruntled conservatives.

Garbage!

And you are entitled to your opinion, no matter how full of biased garbage it might be.

Sheila Gunn Reid has no presence at all on Wiki.

She's either a complete flyweight shill, or she's a totally non self serving person who is the real deal.

What is she?

Hopefully time heals the wounds that are currently being inflicted on our province, by the current government.

Not surprised. Not everyone votes based on gun control positions alone... and some of those commie fishermen (get a gun you wimps) might even somehow value reigning in resource industry destruction of headwaters, etc... the socialist scum...

This thread is about the Destroyers, which points out the NDP's true agenda. If one digs deeper, they will find that the NDP is anti hunting.

Here is an example.

Supporting a political party is one thing... supporting a vision is another.

Visions are long term which (at times) go against mainstream thinking. Vision comes with risk.

Consider the invention of power, telephones, heart transplants... this list goes on & on. If it was not for people and parties that supported this stuff, we would be in a much different place.

Change is hard to accept. Change which one does not agree with quickly becomes a mountain to climb.

Massive long term debt is not a vision I particularly care for.

No one wants debt yet sometimes there is no other option.

Not to discount our Provinces current situation but if my furnace goes... incoming funds can't cover... guess what!

In reality the term "debt" is becoming watered down. There are very few, Countries, Provinces, Municipalities, Cities, Towns, Hamlets, Companies, Familes that are not carrying some sort of "debt".

Debt is part of a vicious, yet necessary, cycle which will take a lot more than chin wagging to solve.

This whole downplaying of debt thing is a mirage. Onterrible is now spending more on interest on their debt than on most real programs. We will be in the same situation pretty shortly if the idiots in charge do not smarten up. We are borrowing against the future, and my kids will be the taxpayers (because I raised them to actually work and take care of themselves and not suck off the tit of mommy government?) who have to support all the trough sucking people who do not want to make their own way.

We are already over-governed to death, as are pretty much all Canadians. Debt is not "necessary" at all. When the government, with reasonable taxation to achieve reasonable goals, within its fiscal means and jurisdiction, does not have enough money, it means that we have to accept less government, period. It needs to be cut back. It does not mean that I should turn even more of my hard earned $ (I write BIG cheques on several fronts every year) over to those who do not feel like trying to take care of themselves, or just want a nice bureaucratic sinecure with little actual work or value.

There definitely is another option. Put government on an actual business-like level, with accountability for its expenditures, and a mandate to never go into debt. If the people who actually pay their bills (like me) voluntarily agree to raise their contribution levels to subsidize more expenditure, then do it. Otherwise, live within your means, like every non trough-sucking person with a brain, and stop the efforts to control every aspect of my life while sucking me dry to support the indigents.

every dollar in circulation represents 1 dollar of debt + the interest owed on it. It's how a Fiat currency works.

Debt is inescapable since interest requires more debt for it to be paid.

"debt is not necessary at all" are you kidding. What do you think your investments, providing you have any, grow on. It is called interest. If no one borrowed money there would be no investment and definitely no interest. No interest no return. Unless you keep all your money in a sock, pay cash for everything and don't use the services of a financial institution you are the 1% of the population.

What is she?
Sheila Gunn Reid is a contributor for TheRebel.media from Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. She's a stay at home mom of 3 and conservative activist. She grew up on the family farm and she has strong ties to the oil patch.

Sheila has been a contributor to Corus radio's nationally broadcast Roy Green Show, where she was part of the Hockey Mom's Panel, tackling issues like government over reach and encroachment into our families.

Sheila tries unsuccessfully to read the entire Internet before noon each day. She also enjoys being in nature with her family, where incidentally she encounters very few environmentalists.

Got that from the rebel site. Carefull though, I heard a few socialists burst into flame from viewing that site

Flyweight soccer/hockey mom.

Unsuccessfully tries to read the entire Internet before noon each day - at least she tries.

The correct word is "too".
Now you pick where it fits in your sentence.
