Hopefully working Albertans remember this scornful contempt next election.During a lunch time address to the St. Albert Chamber of Commerce today, Stelmach said Alberta is poised to rebound from the economic turmoil and will benefit from a deep labour pool, but only for those with the right outlook.
“The A and B Crews are working and the C Crew is at home until they change their attitude,” he said, during prepared remarks.
“This is the new reality in a time of recession.”
But Alberta Federation of Labour President Gil McGowan said workers who found themselves unemployed through no fault of their own deserve a better fate than to have their attitudes questioned by their leader.
“This is a disturbing comment coming from the premier in a time of recession — he seems to be blaming the unemployed for being unemployed,” he said.

Unfortunately, this is the mind frame of most today.
Subsequent generations have and are becoming more and more right wing, for God knows what reason.
These are people who basically even resent their parents and grand parents instead of embracing them.
Oh attitudes do need to change all right, just to change to have more compassion, be less self-centred,be willing to help their fellow man.
All this started with my generation unfortunately. I was a kid of the 80s; the decade of excess; everybody wanted everything for themselves with little regard for others.
Then in turn, we raised narcissists.
Hopefully, this can all turn around.
