Premier Jason Kenney issued thefollowing statement in memory ofthe victims of Nazi and Stalinisttyranny:

“It was 81 years ago today thatNazi Germany and Soviet Russiaformed one of the most evilalliances in human history with thesigning of the Molotov–RibbentropPact. As per this agreement,Germany and Russia carved upand assumed control of thesovereign nations of central andeastern Europe, giving way to

decades of oppression and untoldhuman suffering.

“On Black Ribbon Day, weremember the victims of the Sovietand Nazi regimes. Although theywere informed by differentideologies, they made use of thesame brutal tactics and strategiesto commit murder on industrialscales and to enforce a system ofoppression and tyranny onpreviously free peoples.

“As Albertans and Canadians, wemust never forget the countlessvictims of these totalitarian regimes,we must take to heart the horrificand tragic lessons of that time, andwe must honour those who foughtso bravely and sacrificed so muchto defeat these terrible forces.”

As an important step in reconciliation, Alberta’sgovernment is naming a mountain peak nearCanmore its traditional Stoney Nakoda name.

The new official name of a mountain peaknear Canmore is Anû Kathâ Îpa (Bald EaglePeak), which is a traditional name the StoneyNakoda people have used for it.

“I am pleased to officially adopt the namechosen by the Stoney people. I look forward toworking together with all Albertans to recognizenames that better identify our collective heritageand languages, as well as that of other peopleswith whom we share this great land,” stated RonOrr, Minister of Culture.

“This is an important step in reconcili-action.We must recognize and celebrate Indigenousculture and the traditional names that reflect thetrue meaning and history of the land. We mustunderstand the past and honour these sacredplaces so we can continue to teach futuregenerations about their ancestors and the placesthat connect them,” notes Rick Wilson, Ministerof Indigenous Relations.

“Stoney Nakoda people have a deep andlasting respect for females in our communities,whether the youth, the middle-aged andespecially Elders. It is on behalf of all of themthat I stand here today with our Council andElders and give thanks to the Creator forinfluencing the naming of Bald Eagle Peak. A

racist term has been cast aside and StoneyNakoda people are grateful,” commented ChiefAaron Young, Chiniki First Nation.

Work is continuing to rename anothermountain in Banff National Park which theStoney Nakoda Nation and other Indigenouscommunities have said is offensive. Alberta’sgovernment agrees. As this mountain peakresides in a national park, the Government ofAlberta and Parks Canada are working withIndigenous communities to identify a newname.

“The new name of this mountain servesas a tangible step toward reconciliationand mutual respect with the StoneyNakoda Nation, and I am excited to beable to point out the newly renamed BaldEagle Peak to the many visitors who passthrough our beautiful Bow Valley,” statedMiranda Rosin, MLA for Banff-Kananaskis

“We are grateful to see progress on theeffort to erase the name of a mountainoverlooking Banff that is misogynistic andhurtful to the First Peoples who haveinhabited this land long before the nationalpark and the town of Banff were created.We look forward to restoring a rightfulIndigenous name that reflects the respectand reconciliation we need for a strongfuture together,” stated Corrie DiManno,

mayor, Town of Banff.Officially changing these names is an

important step in reconciliation and means theywill be updated and replaced on provincial andfederal place name databases and maps. Goingforward, Albertans, Canadians and internationalvisitors who marvel at the mountain peaks willlearn only a name that respects the culture ofthe Indigenous people of our province

The Heartland

eXtraby Franco Terrazzano and Jay Goldberg,

Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Political parties are trying their best toconvince Canadians they can make life moreaffordable. But if politicians want us to believethem, they need to look in the mirror. That’sbecause really making life more affordablemeans tackling the damage government doesthrough regulation, high taxes, and runawayspending.

Even during the pandemic, the averageCanadian family saw 36 per cent of its budgetgo to taxes, according to the Fraser Institute.That’s more than the typical family spends onfood, housing, and clothing combined.

The tax burden facing families today has morethan doubled since 1961, even after accountingfor inflation. Bringing tax levels down to 1961levels, adjusted for inflation, would save anaverage family over $20,000 per year.

All aspects of life, including daycare andgroceries, would be much more affordable iffamilies had an extra $20,000 to spend.

That’s the big picture. Here’s how muchgovernments are driving up costs on thespecifics.

Consider gasoline prices. Gas prices arenearing all-time highs, but a huge portion of theprice drivers pay at the pump is due to taxes.

In Montreal, 42 per cent of the cost of gascomes from taxes. With an average price of$1.40 per litre last week, a single mom filling upa minivan would have spent about $41 in taxeson just one fill-up. That’s a huge bite out of adriver’s pocket.

While today’s numbers seem bad, they’re setto get much worse. The Trudeau government isplanning to raise the federal carbon tax from $40per tonne this year to $170 per tonne in 2030.That will cause gas prices to skyrocket. ErinO’Toole’s Conservatives have decided toembrace carbon taxes too, so don’t look to themto lower gas prices.

Next, let’s look at housing. Government rulesand regulations continue to box thousands ofCanadians out of the housing market. Whilepoliticians have been trying to tackle demand-side problems through policies like taxing foreignhome buyers, governments are standing in theway of supply-side solutions, such as changingzoning rules, lessening restrictions on

agricultural land, and lowering developmentcharges.

With housing prices already sky-high,hardworking taxpayers could be hit even harderif the federal government introduces a tax onhome equity, which the Canadian Mortgage andHousing Corporation has studied. Such a taxwould pummel Canadians hoping to use theequity in their homes to finance their next homeor retirement.

Inflation needs to be part of theconversation. With government printingand spending more money, it drives up thecost of goods by flooding the marketplace,causing prices to climb. It also erodes thevalue of every saver’s nest egg.Unfortunately, the prime minister claims hedoesn’t need to think about monetarypolicy.

Perhaps the biggest threat to cost ofliving going forward will be the massivedebt the federal government continues torack up. According to the ParliamentaryBudget Officer’s projections, if thegovernment doesn’t change course,Canada won’t see a balanced federalbudget until 2070. That would add trillionsof dollars to the national debt. At that point,every Canadian will owe more than$67,000 in federal debt.That’s a massive cost-of-living bill for futuregenerations.

There’s one morething: alcohol. Iftaxpayers want to de-stress with a pint ofbeer or a glass of wineafter reading about thehigh cost of living,governments will hitthem there too.Automatically increasingescalator taxes aredriving up alcohol taxesthat now account forhalf the price of beer,65 per cent of the costof wine, and more than75 per cent of the costof spirits.

The bottom line is that a huge portion of thehigh cost of living is being driven by governmentpolicy. In this election, parties that want to run onan affordability agenda should look to lesseningthe government burden on taxpayers as the wayto deliver.

NEW AVAITION ADVISORY COUNCIL READY TO TAKE OFF

Letter to the editor;I had to laugh when I read the

Liberal Party's press release in theAugust 18th Heartland eXtra. Firstof all, Justin Trudeau is the trustfund son of a trust fund son. Whatwould he possibly know about the"middle class."

All his life, he's had whatever hewanted. How can this rich kidknow what it's like to scrimp andsave? Can he possibly relate tohaving much more month thanmoney?

Also, have you noticed moremoney in your pockets, and bankaccounts, since 2015 when thebest prime minister in this centurywas defeated? With Trudeau'sramped-up Carbon Tax, I, apensioner, notice that prices haverisen dramatically.

And where are these "new jobs"the Liberals promised? Perhapsthey've been in the federal civilservice.

Furthermore, what has their"climate action" actually done? Ourclimate always changes. Lastsummer was soggy while this oneis bone dry. Though winters havewarmed up somewhat, has thatreally caused massive forest firesin the summer? Could it be thatnew-fangled forestry methodshave actually contributed to deadwood which then fuels fires?

Also, how bad has the COVID-19 "threat" actually been? Whatabout all the suicides and drugoverdoses lockdowns caused? Ifnot for the lockdown measures,people would have become ill butsmall businesses would havesurvived.

As for the hand-outs fromOttawa, how will the federalgovernments pay down even themassive interest charges on whatthey borrowed? Trudeau's staff arebehaving like a teenager with abrand new credit card. I've learnedfrom experience that it's too easyto think of purchases as essential

when they're merely cool things tohave.

Who's really benefiting from thepanic-demic, as I call it?Pharmaceutical companies areraking in the money, as are storeslike Wal-Mart, Costco, andAmazon. And while churchcongregations were limited,violating Hebrews 10:25, big boxstores were wide open. Bars andcannabis stores could be open butworshippers of God had to belimited.

The press release was right onone thing. Government decisionswill effect our children and theirchildren. Who's going to pay thatmassive trillion-dollar debt?Sooner or later, big money lenderswill call in their loans. Then whowill end up in trouble? Certainlythose who racked up the debt willbe retired or dead by then.

And who will pay for the $10-per-day child care? This is just oneof many things the Liberals andNDP don't want to answer. Theyknow it will make our already-burdensome taxes heavier.

Notice too that they mentionQuebec's child care spaces. That'swhom they really are working for. Ihave nothing against French-Canadians but I do feel insultedthat the Trudeau governmentfavours them. Aren't we all equalsin Canada? No wonder break-away parties are rising inpopularity. This "green' recovery isa fantasy. Renewable energy isunreliable inconsistent, andexpensive. Our shuttered coal-fired plants are the cleanest in thecountry and perhaps the world. ButLiberals want cheap andaffordable fossil fuels to be kept inthe ground while we struggle withblackouts and electric vehicleswhich won't start in minus-30-degree weather.

Trudeau also claims that all theConservative Party of Canadawants to do is cut programs.

Having observedhow Erin O'Toolehas bowed toleftist pressure,can we reallyexpect him to winand to reducenon essentialcosts likeStephen Harperdid?

Vote for whomyou think is bestbut pleaseponder theactions of theincumbent andhis challengers.

WHAT WOULD

TRUDEAU KNOW OF

THE MIDDLE CLASS?

The Canadian TaxpayersFederation is criticizing theConservative Party of Canada’splatform for failing to provide acredible plan to balance the booksand save money within the federalbudget.

“The Conservatives don’t have acredible plan to balance thebudget and they’re barely payinglip service to reducing the deficit,”said Franco Terrazzano, FederalDirector with the CTF. “Thegovernment is spending $500billion this year, but instead ofgoing after the low hanging fruitlike reversing MP pay raises, theConservatives are promising tospend billions the governmentdoesn’t have.”

The Conservative platformpromises to balance the budget“within the nextdecade,” butdoesn’t have acredible planshowing how it’sgoing to meet itsbudget target.The platformdoes not includecosting analysis.

TheConservativeplatform doeslittle to specifyways to savemoney within thegovernment’sbudget. Forexample, allmembers ofParliamentreceived two payraises duringCOVID-19, whichranged from$6,900 for abackbench MP to$13,800 for theprime minister,but theConservative

platform is silent on rolling backthose pay hikes.

When running for party leader,Conservative Leader Erin O’Toolepromised to “immediately repealthe Trudeau carbon tax; and,reject any future national carbontax or cap-and-trade scheme.”O’Toole is breaking his promise byincluding his own carbon tax in theparty platform.

Some bright spots in theConservative platform includestrengthening the informationcommissioner’s ability to enforcetransparency, explicitly rejecting ahome equity tax, promising torepeal the escalator tax on alcoholand dealing with gun crime byhiring police officers rather than anexpensive gun ban and buybackprogram.
