Federal justice minister David Lametti “looking at” taking away natural resources from provinces. Scott Moe says national unity at stake. This is precisely what the Saskatchewan First Act, proclaimed April 6, is about.
Notably, the request for the feds to take away control of natural resources from the provinces of Manitoba, Alberta an Saskatchewan came from the grand chief of the Prince Albert Grand Council. The federal minister will “look at” it.
Because if the Feds control it, they can keep it in the ground.
This is a pre-election trial balloon. The Trudeau cult will test its voter appeal in Metro Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, where the election will be decided. Trudeau Sr. campaigned successfully against Alberta in the 1980 election, winning a majority. Chretien also campaigned against Alberta, making snide comments about westerners’ incorruptibility when he was seeking votes in the Maritimes.
This anti-prairie gambit also has the appearance of a legitimate proposal because only three provinces were targeted, i.e. the provinces that were formerly known as the NWT. Before the feds re-organized the territory as provinces, it was the “property” of the feds. If the Trudeau government could foment hysteria among the other provinces, it would have the Trudeau constitution amending formula requirement of 7/10 + 50% population.
I emphasize I don’t believe Trudeau really means to carry this threat out, this is just political grandstanding as he’s in popularity freefall at the moment and is desperate to get some traction before going into another election. The danger with all Trudeaus of course is that Junior he will go so far down a divisive and dangerous road as will benefit him politically. This stupidity is taken right out of the Trudeau Senior campaign play book.
The immediate answer should have been, “resource development is solely the jurisdiction of the provinces.” FULL STOP. END. FINAL
But what do you expect from Capo Lametti.
Saskatchewan Act and Sovereignty Act. Very good symbolic efforts but well short of what is truly needed; A free and independent West
“A free and independent West”. blah, blah, blah. More empty BS from western separation morons. Until you control your own police force, you’re going nowhere
The RCMP is of no concern. It’s leaving anyway
And replaced with what?
could be a barrel of monkeys and no one would notice . yesterday 50 RCMP and cop cars converged on the hospital in Edmonton to “guard” the body of a cop killed in a single car accident , he hit a concrete barrier. even the boy stupid made a statement , to be fair , he was only told a cop of colour was killed
Social workers seem to be the chosen replacements so far.
Does the Lame Yeti intent to amend the constitution act, section 92(a)?
note that para (3) only applies to para (2), not para (1)
The supreme court is a branch of the Librano Party. you are expecting help from there? LMAO.
Peter, I was thinking the same thing.
The federal gov’t won’t stop at this, regardless of which way this argument goes.
Separation of AB/Sask. is the way forward
Yeah. Then we can all be like Calgary, busting kids playing hockey and parents complaining about trannies grooming their kids.
You effers are worse than Toronto and Vancouver combined.
Nobody is worse than Toronto or Hongcouver except maybe San Franshiteco.
Well maybe Ottawa but that place needs to glow in the dark.
Get lost bozo
Don’t feed the trolls … that is what they want.
Basically, because the feds know you all as the pussies that you are, and you all like it that way, otherwise you would legalize at least one little thing that lets a man be free, but no…
Looks good on you little pussies, especially when you join the feds against anyone who behaves like a man by ignoring their rules.
Bunch of little buttercup pansies whining because their owners are mean to them.
I think you are projecting
You must be from Alberta, where they still arrest pastors and so on.
You must be from an insane asylum.
Yeah, you’d be happy to see me and anyone else you don’t like in one, wouldn’t ya, you little rat.
You must be a federal informer.
See how that works, ratfink?
Start packing the bags. Do exactly what Ukraine did in 1991 in leaving the USSR.
Yeah. God knows no Canadian would ever stand their ground when they have the chance to run like a coward.
The Ukraine did nothing but simply tell the USSR that they will no longer follow the dictates of the USSR. Learn history….and take your meds
Did I say run like a coward? In your case, I meant squeal like pig.
How many men have you ratted out to date, there, artie?
Ratfinks like you are why Canada is screwed.
This would require a constitutional amendment with ratification from the provinces.
Ain’t gonna happen.
How about a good old-fashioned fight then?
Yeah, the provinces would surrender even if they held the upper hand.
Still ain’t gonna happen.
Sure it will, but on a guerrilla scale, that is if AB and SK have a ball to share between them.
OK, you’re right, they’ll fold like the umbrellas that they are, and be happy betraying their own people for 30 bits of silver.
Do you have some kind of mental condition?
How many people have you ratted out for having what you call “a mental condition”?
How does it feel to be a rat, Artie?
The so-called “Canadians” here seem to think its only right for troopers to stop folk on the road and demand their papers.
Not only are you a bunch of pussies, but you are apologists for tyranny.
You make me sick, and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Just wait for Digital currency, you so much as open yer yap complaining, no Soup for You.
Two words:
Long Pig.
I use my real name. You coward.
Not sure what YS is adding to the conversation. There are Canadians that will not take a stand and there are those who will. This is a significant threat to the provinces and the premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan have recognized this, are taking a stand, and deserve our support. I speak as a Canadian who has carried arms in service of this nation. The injects of a windbag such as YS only embolden those who would destroy this nation. I would respectively submit that he/sh/it go elsewhere with his/her/it’s rants. Have a nice day.
No.
If one single Canadian takes a stand, the rest of them will denounce him, and you seem to among them, nothing but an establishment rat out to denounce your neighbor, and make patriotic sounds as to why its OK to do so. You are a rat infesting the walls of what was once a country, trying to make duplicity into a virtue.
You are projecting again.
Sounds to me like you too like to rat people out, Artie.
Sounds to me like it’s spring and the shit birds are singing
“Some people want to set the world on fire. Others just want to watch it burn.” YS is either a true misanthrope or a troll. My money is on the latter. Enough of this guy already either way.
It’s like the federal government WANTS Alberta, Sask & Manitoba to separate. The 3 most productive and useful provinces in Canada. We should have prayed for Quebec to leave when they voted back in 1995. Can we have a ‘do over’?
Actually, I think the feds actually DO want to split the country…..much like Biden wants to split the U.S. They both want to weaken the “free world”.
So, how many new IP addies and usernames are gonna come to tell us all how out of touch I am?
All this flak just shows I’m over the target.
“the request … came from the grand chief of the Prince Albert Grand Council.”
Bingo. First Nations don’t want the resources, they want the money from the resources. So the Fed takes the resources, gives them a cut and exerts control in the meantime. This will happen later in Ontario, never in Quebec. But first in the west because 60% of westerners are silly communists with cowboy hats.
Last time I took the time to read the “Treaty Six” regarding AB and Sask natives. They signed all rights away, save the medicine chest. So beat it.
For the first time ever, my post just got completely & entirely consumed. Not even a warning about moderation. Let’s try it one paragraph at a time.
Baby steps. We didn’t arrive at this point overnight, we aren’t going to fix it overnight, either.
Steps 1, 2, 3 in AB accomplished. Next step, win the AB provincial election. If we’re successful, we can focus on moving forward.
Aside from SK, what has anybody else done? Didn’t think so. Pretty easy for you armchair critics to throw barbs from the safety of your keyboards situated in provinces that have done sweet FA, save bleat like sheep every time the Feds say, “jump”.
Apparently the offensive word was e-x-e-c-u-t-e-d. I substituted accomplished.
I’d like to be on your side but aren’t the NDP making a comeback in the great independent province of cowboys?
Dunno. I don’t read/listen to the MSM & all polls are shit. I’m doing what I can to rally & educate people and in 7 weeks we’ll know.
The only political ad I’ve seen is a weak-sauce whine by Red Rachel’s idiots prefacing ewe-tube vids. The only ones that’s going to influence are the commies, anyways. The tag line is, “We can afford the UCP”. I find that hilarious, because a simple check will reveal that Red Rachel increased Alberta’s debt by around a hunnert billion bucks and raised our deficit to around $20 billion. Not only that, but the UCP just made a debt payment of ~$13 billion.
If there’s anything Alberta can’t afford, it’s another round of the commies.
“can”—>”can’t”
If your friend Artie has any say in it, your doomed.
He’d rat you out for a nickel, 5 cents more than most Canadians can be bought for, heck, they like to denounce each other to the man for free, so good luck!
Justice Minister David Lametti is one bad, evil piece of work. Nothing good ever came from what he said or did. He wants to steal the Prairies’ natural resources, just to hurt small-c conservatives.
I do my best to live free, move around without bar-codes or plates tatooed to my neck or vehicle, etc, and I get nothing but derision from this site. American Thinker used to be cool before the 2015-2016 purge of Trump supporters.
So knock yourselves out, you bunch of establishment ratfinks. With friends like you, who needs enemies?
The lot of you are not worth a pimple on my ahole, you’d rat out your neighbor for fun, at least OJ and Art would. You folk who think AB or SK can leave, well, good luck, but don’t for one second think SDA and its people are on your side. This place is a rathole, period.
To refresh the collective memory,Lametti is the guy who did what JWR never agreed to – wash away the sins of SNC Lavalin. Also, he was ok with how fed gov dealt with Freedom Convoy, no justice issues there, no siree. And a month or 2 ago he said that there’s no absolute right to private property in Canada.
He’s a spineless worm.
FYI, YS is a bot. Check the grammar and content. It’s trained to be inflammatory and to provoke a response. It also doesn’t know what site it’s on. Unless someone can prove otherwise I suggest the purpose of the bot is to get someone to say something vaguely criminal so that this site can be investigated and potentially blacklisted in Canada.
I’d like to comment on the second post. By Awaiting Moderation.
He rightfully points out how liberal PMs campaigned with obvious bigotry towards contributing people and areas of this country. There is a flip side to this point that westerners need to focus on. Not the continuing proven successful tactics by the federalists in the “golden triangle”!
Take a close look at the federalists posing as western leaders of our past. Laugheed, Blakney, Romano.
These Western premiers also, repeatedly won elections, claiming to get mandates to fight Ottawa over resource issues. Did they really?
Then, when the western discontent increased to a worrisome level they gave us a Manning, a federalist, who successfully deflected this western discontent down a predictable federal path to irrelevance. Blood sweat and treasure lost. Not to mention time.
Hold Moe and Smiths feet to the fire and stay focused. They are the key. The threat of a UDI from western provinces is the ONLY thing the feds Will understand.
Only when they think we might get out will they do anything to keep us in.
Alberta NDP are polling over 40%. Pretty fair chance they’ll get in in May. The UCP had 4 years to clear all the commies out of Alberta. They did nothing but join forces and take orders.
If the Libs take our resources from us we will sit on our hands and complain, and dream of the day when the federal “conservatives” are gonna save us like we always do. Nobody is coming to save us and sooner or later the feds will own 100% of our labour instead of 50%.
Lametti said what he said because it’s fun for them to rile us up and they know there will be no consequences. Most Albertans are content to be handled by the feds. We are the cattle, and they are the cowboys.
The Liberals says lotsa stuff that is usually, “We’re going to take your jobs away, but, hey, we like you, how can we solve this problem together?”
Then they fck you up the arse.
Now they’re saying, “We’re going to fck you up the arse.”
I think you better take this seriously or you’re going to wish they only fcked you up the arse.
Louis Riel not looking quite so crazy after all these years.
With what army is Justin going to take these resources?
The Chinese one?
Like I have been saying.
Justine will live in history,at least in the Independent West, as on of the founding conditions for the collapse of Confederated Canada.
If Justine and his Children’s Crusade of morons was not working to alienate and drive the Western Citizen out of Canada..What would they have done differently?
They brag of “The superiority of the Eastern Citizen.
They work to cripple wealth production ,specific laws targeting only Western Industries.
They steal ever more,ever increasing taxes,fees and open theft.
They demonstrate that the citizen has no rights nor freedoms ,no protection in law from Bureaucratic excess.
Holding western citizens for months ,without bail,on “Mischief” charges.
They have destroyed the national armed forces,we have no defence.
The police and courts are openly corrupt.
And they continue to pile rules and regulations upon us.
Pointless rules and regulations ,used to grind us,in ways legislation never could.
So if they are seeking an outbreak of Western Awareness,with respect to our governance..
What would these people have done differently?
Do we even have “National Borders?”.
Is there defined regions,within which rule of law exists?
And who benefits from the “laws” of late?
Kleptocracy is a wonderful thing.
If you are a fool and a bandit.
Delusions of Adequacy , hard at work.
We shall rule and you shall bow before us.
Sounds so wonderful.
Remember how this group,our “good government” reacted when Truckers said”No”.
They really are this stupid,thus they can be defined as evil.
Evil being defined as compound stupidity.
We have no chance of survival,while we allow such people to meddle in our affairs.
And this is Stupidity,worshipped in Ottawa as a Cult.
You can neither negotiate with, nor anticipate the stupid..
They are not bound by reason nor logic.
Banishment is the only cure,short of death.
