Province of Alberta wants YOUR Input for the budget.

TylerG · Jan 10, 2017

Let’s tell the province what we need from them in next year’s budget! We need funds for volunteer maintained recreational trails and school safety programs for our youth!

Go to and tell them what you think!

Or cut and paste the following!

Dear Premier and Minister Ceci,

I am a proud member of the Alberta Snowmobile Association (ASA), who represent snowmobilers and snowmobiling in Alberta. Our local community volunteers build, clear, groom and maintain a trail network over around 6,500km in our province, that is open and accessible to all Albertans. Our volunteers spend their time and money on all our behalf and we need your support to keep these trails open, as every other provincial government in Canada currently does. Our work is done with no government support for the trails or the school snowmobile & atv safety program that we offer free of charge across Alberta every year. In the past we have taught over 10,000 Alberta students each year the fundamentals of safe off road riding and we need your support to make this happen. Cutting funds for student safety is not the way to take our province forward.

We would ask that you include in your budget 75,000.00 for the Ride With Respect School Program, and 150,000.00 in trail maintenance funds, to be available to the Minister of Parks in their budget for the coming year.

The reality: Alberta Finance Minister Joe Ceci should just cut spending | Gunter | Columnists

This is funny , does any one seriously think knothead listens ..... To any one one effected by her ludicrous decisions ?
Good luck with that ...
The only reason the NDP do these so called " input studies " is to make it appear as if they care what the people of Alberta think!
Sadly , there could be nothing further from the truth in reality.....

greasy wheel gets the grease.... your negativity is understandable and is echoed throughout the Province, however if we don't try we aren't going to get anywhere.

if you read the Lorne Gunter column in todays sun, he pretty much said what you said....

2019 can't come soon enough!!!

rzrgade · Jan 10, 2017

I would like to think that is true but I have lived through an NDP goverment , so I know better .
And it is not negativity, it is more of being realistic....lol
How many people are in favour of the carbon tax ? Or Bill 6, or closing coal plants at the costs of thousands of jobs ....
The ndp does not really listen , never have , never will.... Facts prove that over and over !

The current political climate, whether or not there are thousands of responses, is not likely to change. The current Provincial Government is ideologically driven, know they have a short runway, and will do what they want regardless of any 'consultation'.

All that said, it's still important to make your voice heard and to reiterate our wants and needs of our elected officials. Even if it just ends up in the bin anyway.

Make sure you send an email to your MLA, Minister Ceci and the Premier.

YUP, the only way...... OR a very large protest on the govt steps, and it has to be large... not the 1000 or 2000 participants, but more like 40-50,000

You'd have better luck giving your input to a headcrack on 118th then to the premier or ceci. But then again the crackhead is probably smarter than both of them combined. Getting them out in a little over 2 years is the only way, and making sure the idiots who voted for them do not do it again. And making it very clear what you think of people who voted for them, no sugar coating it, call them the retards they are.

Problem in (in my opinion) is the NDP were not voted in, they did a great job pointing out the problems and graft that was going on in the PC government ( yes there was some, but they did a lot of great things)....The voters I tracked down that voted for the NDP voted against the PC's....without thinking that the NDP have a track history of doing exactly what they're doing....

I think the PC's and the wildrose to sort things out so the vote doesn't get split, so to ensure all the socialist that are loving their free ride cant vote the NDP back in...

I'd pick Brian Jean, he seems to have is priorities in order.....

I have sent the statement to our Premier, and would attend a rally if there is one...
