Happy mail!

Look what was in the mail today...

Dear Albertan: Enclosed is your Alberta 2005 Resource Rebate. This $400.00 per-person rebate is being provided by the Government of Alberta as a non-taxable, one-time bonus to all Albertans in recognition of their role in building this province. Funds for this rebate are from part of the years’s provincial surplus, the rest will be saved or invested to build Alberta's future. For more information on the rebate, please visit www.gov.ab.ca
Congratulations, and thank you for helping build this province.
Premier Ralph Klien

When I cashed the cheque at the local grocery store, the woman in front of me had one for $2000. I bet she was one of the few Canadians that spent the much needed funds on her three kids, as I DID NOT SEE ANY BEER OR POPCORN!!!
CBC Radio led the top of the hour all day with varying reports of Native alienation of the CPC vicTory. The only apparent reason given for all of this "reported" angst, is the "hidden agenda" of a CPC government eliminating all Native Rights...
When Native Canadians have a 5% G.S.T(the only tax paid by most Treaty Indians on-reserve), and a little ca$h to help them raise their families; what will the CBC talk about then? I guess they’ll just have to keep finding all of the people in Alberta on welfare that ACTUALLY wanted the government to spend THEIR money on social programs(for them).

I really do wonder how many Albertans that voted Liberal/NDP/Green, are sitting at home with their families, 2000 dollars in hand, saying:
“Ya know, the government really needed this money for more social programs!”
