Except the polar vortex that's causing this is exactly what you'd expect from rapid climate change.

Yep. "Climate change" the universal cause of everything bad. Hot weather, cold weather, dry weather, wet weather, cloudy days, sunny days, justin bieber. you name it - climate change it is always to blame because... well just "because" some scientist in desperate need to publish something managed to find enough spurious correlations to create some great disaster **** headlines.

Even if climate change is real, one has to ask the question whether Canadians want their standard of living reduced, or to continue having the West bail them out

since 1961 Alberta has given over $600 billion in transfer payments

Transfer payments come from Ottawa, not the provinces. Alberta benefits from them. Canadians, all of them from sea to shining sea, contribute to Ottawa's revenues on the exact 100% same scale.

If anyone can read this with with a straight face, you are one up on me.

I did just hear on the news the temp. dipped down to -48 somewhere in Wisconsin just now. And that was not wind chill factored in. Lets hope the power stays on down that way.

There is really nothing we can do about Global Warming until the World population is reduced significantly, so I suggest keeping the status quo. Besides, since 1961 Alberta has given over $600 billion in transfer payments. We should not mess with that cash cow.

This includes getting rid of the carbon tax, and sending Justin Trudeau to Baffin Island.

All horseshit.  Electric doo dads, windmills etc.  People also don't need 1/2 the **** they consume.

CO2 is a GHG and the climate is changing. I don't see any doubt there.

weasel wording! You continue to deny that anthropogenic sourced CO2 is the principal causal tie to GW/CC - yes? As before, as always, please provide your understood/interpreted alternate principal causal tie... your principal alternative other than anthropogenic sourced CO2 - waiting, waiting, waiting (forever... waiting)! 

The questions that matter are whether we can do anything other than adapt.

more schlock weasel wording. There is no legitimacy in you continuing to beak-off about adaptation - not when you have flat-out stated your timeframe for 'even beginning' adaptative measures is some vague testament to "somewhere in the future". Your wait, do-nothing, delay at all costs routine is simply you acting out your perpetual shilling for Big Oil. There is no legitimacy to anyone pushing an 'Adapt Only' policy approach in the absence of (accompanying) prevention and mitigation measures.

no - you clearly don't understand how transfer payments work... I expect you also struggle with understanding how equalization actually works! If you really want to whine/wail about your perceived "unfairness" to Alberta, you need to also include federal spending within Alberta - and realize whether or not there is a disproportionate lack of spending.
