Hi Cheryl,
We are separating from Canada and currently we are at the mercy of CMA (Canadian Medical Association). This group is made up of 80,000 Canadians who alone are nearly as wealthy as the ATB in Canada.
Alberta's Health Services GDP is 5.0% (16 Billion) vs Ontario's 15% (120 Billion).
Centralisation has forced Albertan's to subsidize Ontario's GDP and out of their NET INCOME and purchase ALMOST ALL the drugs, equipment and specialised services from Ontario.
Within two years of the 4 year transfer Alberta's Health Services GDP will go from just over 5% to past 11%.
What does that mean?
Currently, the 22 Billion Dollar a year Health Services Expense will be reduced to 10 Billion without changing a current Service.
Obviously, predictions are not on the table as NDP and UCP live on them and that is not how AIP will define itself. This are real numbers and real truth.
As far as indigenous populations go...
1st Nations people shall have a substantial amount of new money that they will use as they see fit. True self government.
We ensure First Nations will negotiate their own royalty rates and corporate taxation rates on reserves. This system will follow with First Nations to newly split federal lands negotiated in the 4 year transfer period to secession.
Regards,
Todd Wayne
