		<description>Using the Government surplus figures as a basis and, taking the exchange rates 2006-07 as nominal 10% and 2008-2009 as nominal 25% I have developed the following alternate table.  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.</description>

		<description>Must the taxpayer foot the bill every time Mr. Garrison decides to superficially change his/her/its sex organs?

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&#039;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 &#039;vision for alberta&#039;? 
I mean of course above being a trendy buzzword for attacking anyone who is not a socialist?</description>
