Albertans want rail network built as soon as possible: government survey results

Albertans are looking for a provincial rail network to be prioritized and built as soon as possible, according to the survey results.

I must say the governments communications staff are really earning their pay on this one. This makes it sound like it is a priority for them while actually committing to little or nothing.

When exactly is "As soon as possible"? Kind of vague, don't you think. And its well timed like throwing a shiny object out to distract us from something less positive for them, like I don't know ... provincial COVID Report?

 

[Gronk!]

This will be a provincial election football.

That will be a minor one. There are much more pressing issues in play.

Oh heck she can't fix anything, all she is good at is picking fights with everyone and blaming everyone else.

But, but Daddy Trump will be impressed what I'm doing to protect HIS border......won't you Daddy? She's just a political farce trying to further her political career - in the States - it appears.

Also trying to suck up to Daddy O'Leary, so maybe she can get a job from him in the future if the voters get tired of her antics.

 

[MacLac]

The craziness would be when Daddy Trump Tariffs us back to the Stone ages, she'll pull this pomp and circumstance show she's putting on anyway. We can see right through her BS.

Most military bases are already shared assets in some capacity.

The United Calgary Party will want this NORAD base near Calgary, which will come as no surprise at all.

I didn't know Calgary was in the Arctic. Still, military bases are huge drivers of local economies (and crime in bars). See Cold Lake's growth compared to Bonnyville or St. Paul.

If you're implying that there isn't a significant distinction, that would be like saying the IT contractor who has a desk in your office basement is basically a co-owner of the company.

I'm saying there's no need for joint bases in a military capacity. The US is already able to access facilities here.
