Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

Great points. I found this:

AI Overview​
​
In 2024, Canada's revenue from Alberta, as administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), was approximately $180.586 billion. This includes income tax revenues (both personal and corporate), the provincial portion of the harmonized sales tax (HST), and other revenues.​
​
Here's a more detailed breakdown:​
  • Total Income Tax Revenues:$138.305 billion. This includes:
    • Personal Income Tax: $102.481 billion.
    • Corporate Income Tax: $35.824 billion.
  • Provincial Portion of HST: $40.714 billion.
  • Other Revenues: $1.567 billion.
These figures represent revenues collected for provincial and territorial governments and First Nations. Additionally, the CRA administers revenues for the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) as well, with CPP pension contributions, interest, and penalties totaling $81.881 billion in 2024.​

Tough go, this, via AI & search engines .....

Grok's version (based on per capita estimates), with these caveats: "Data Limitations: The 2024 tax revenue data is not fully finalized, so estimates rely on 2023-24 actuals and 2024-25 projections. Final CRA reports for 2024 may adjust these figures. Provincial vs. Federal: Some sources blur federal and provincial tax revenues. The estimate above focuses on federal taxes collected by the CRA. Transfers Back: Federal transfers to Alberta (e.g., Canada Health Transfer, Canada Social Transfer) are not deducted here, as the question asks for revenue collected, not net contributions. Critical Perspective: The establishment narrative often emphasizes Alberta’s high tax contributions due to its resource wealth, but this can oversimplify fiscal dynamics. Equalization payments and federal spending in Alberta (e.g., infrastructure) complicate the “net contributor” story pushed by some X posts."
Canada likely collected approximately $56.3 billion in federal tax revenue from Alberta in 2024, based on estimates for personal income tax ($29.8 billion), corporate income tax ($15.6 billion), GST ($6.4 billion), and other taxes ($4.5 billion). This figure is an estimate, as finalized 2024 data is not yet available. For precise figures, check CRA or Government of Canada reports for 2024-25 when published.

ChatGPT's version has global, bottom-line total figures with this caveat: "As of now, the Government of Canada does not publicly release detailed breakdowns of federal tax revenues collected by individual provinces, including Alberta, for the 2024 fiscal year. However, we can glean insights from available data and historical trends."

Bing.com: "Revenue from personal income taxes is estimated at $15.6 billion in 2024-25, an increase of $365 million from last year's forecast. Revenue from corporate income taxes is estimated at $7 billion for this year, down $176 million from last year's forecast."

Thats assuming AB can even negotiate its exit with Canada and FN, treaty 6,7, and 8, the Blackfoot Confederacy have all said not happening. Without treaty 7 and the blackfoot, southern AB stays with Canada, without treaty 8 territory northern AB, including the oil sands stays as well. The people pushing seperation think it would be easy like say kosovo leaving serbia, in reality this is completely DOA, not to mention because of the clarity act, i doubt they would get a clear majority anyway.

Of course they said it's not happening... today. Today is all rhetoric and emotion. Put the details on paper and let's see what changes.
 
Oof, downtown Ottawa’s gonna be a zoo those days.

Seems like a pretty good presser:
  • Royal visit for the Throne Speech
  • Won’t enter a coalition with NDP (“Why?” from Carney when asked)
  • Dodged the question about pursuing floor crossers
  • Meeting with Trump next week to work tariffs immediately
  • Cabinet to be picked and sworn over the next week and a half
  • If CPC want a byelection for Poilievre he won’t delay it or play games
  • Tax cut coming for the lowest bracket on July 1st
  • Seems like his French is improving
  • Caps to be imposed on temporary foreign workers and foreign students to keep it under 5% of the population (down from 7.3% or so right now) in order to ease pressures on services.
Not a bad start. Seems like he’s coming into this with, as expected, a calm and mature approach to starting the business of governing. He’s got lots to do.

I would simply ignore the treaties, probably not a practical, but I would open with that. The treaties are a pointless relic from a bygone era. It would be between a new county that didn't sign them and a group of people that weren't a nation state in any way that is functional. The answer is to just give the reservation land to the people who live there and have lived there and then turn it into privately held land like any other in the new country. People ignore aboriginal land titles because they don't exist, it's based on stories and tales.

The issue is they will still have their hands out for free money from whoever is in charge. When they don’t get it they’ll block roads with flaming tires and other crap.

Oh so you support theft eh? Neat. What happens to those pesky indigenous people refuse to secede from Confederation? The brave ADF shows them a thing or two with their non existent military?
 
To zero surprise, we have a CPC MP resigning to allow Pierre in. Damien Kurek, long time MP for Battle River - Crowfoot, in AB, has announced he will resigned so Pierre can run in a By-election and take the seat. Kurek won the seat with 81% of the vote on election night so this is one of the safest seats for the CPC.

They could do the funniest thing...
 
Doesn’t sound like they will play shenanigans. Tradition would have that they would refrain from running an LPC candidate.
