I am using the BC Saskatchewan royalty rates of 30% for a low comparison.

I have not expanded on the start up royalty which is 2% in the neighboring provinces. It was 1% in Alberta and now, it is 0%

These figures then represent the inside lowest possible royalty figures.

Past surpluses Sask and BC royalty
2000-01 — $6.57 billion-Royalty at 25% US – 30% – Should have been 8.54 Loss 1.97 Billion
2001-02 — $1.08 billion – at 25% US – 30% – Should have been 1.40 Loss .32 Billion
2002-03 — $2.13 billion at 25% US – 30% – Should have been 2.56 Loss .43 Billion
2003-04 — $4.14 billion at 25% US – 30% – Should have been 4.97 Loss .83
2004-05 — $5.18 billion at 19% US – 30% – Should have been 8.18 Loss 3.0 Billion

2005-06 — $8.55 billion at 19% US – 30% – Should have been 13.5 Loss 4.95 Billion (10% Exchange)

2006-07 — $8.51 billion at 19% Canadian 30% – Should have been 14.29 Loss 5.78 Billion

2007-08 — $4.58 billion at 19% Canadian – 30% – Should have been 8.15 Loss 3.57

Projected deficits
2009-10 — $4.7 billion at 19% Canadian dollar – Should be surplus of 3.9 Billion

2010-11 — $2.4 billion at 19% Canadian dollar – Should be surplus of 5.89

2011-12 — $1.8 billion – Should be surplus of 11.44

That is a total of 20.02 billion dollars swept away on a Conservative platform. One that says there can be no extra cash in Government, it must go to the companies.

They call it being Great Conservatives. I call it fiscal mismanagement.

Newsflash morons, that XY is not going to turn XX or vica versa with any surgery. Just because you sew a penis on your vagina doesn’t make you a woman. It makes you a freak.

Again the socialist hypocrisy…chiropractic work works as well at treating back issues as well as that fancy new fake penis makes XX turn XY. Yet a socialist would never attack something that is trendy such as flavor-of-the-month surface sexuality.

Are you not concerned of the plight of the minority group that is chiropractors?

Also, what on earth is a ‘vision for alberta’?
I mean of course above being a trendy buzzword for attacking anyone who is not a socialist?
