Socialist Dumb and Dumber should just leave Alberta
Re: Stewart and Neiman
Whenever our two Advocate editors start talking about business, economics or politics, I can’t help but think of Jim Carrey’s and Jeff Daniels’ 1994 hit movie Dumb and Dumber.
John Stewart’s and Greg Neiman’s obvious socialist agenda defies all reason and understanding. Neiman’s article Ralph Klein deserves his day of honour is a backhand slap to one of our province’s best political leaders, who did what needed to be done to get Alberta’s fiscal house in order.
In the same article, Neiman criticizes another one of Alberta’s most popular political leaders, Stockwell Day, and criticizes Alberta’s income tax regime by calling it “Stockwell Day’s idiotic flat income tax.” Neiman goes on to lobby for a provincial sales tax.
If your idea of moving Alberta forward means higher taxes, bigger government, sales taxes and lots of bureaucracy (sounds like Ontario and Quebec), please consider this my invitation for you two to move forward somewhere else.
