They could have just asked me: Saskatchewan beats Alberta and Quebec in wanting to leave Canada if Carney wins
The recently released data from Angus Reid shows that who the winning party will be matters greatly to residents of Saskatchewan in particular. Saskatchewan’s 14 federal ridings have remained entirely Conservative for the past two elections. That could be why the predominantly Conservative province is the most likely to plan an escape route if Liberals win.
The percentage of residents from Saskatchewan who said they would vote “yes” to leave Canada to become an independent country went from 20 per cent, initially, to 33 per cent, if Liberals won. Meanwhile, the percentage of residents who believed the province should join the United States went from 17 per cent, initially, to 23 per cent, if Liberals won. (To the south, Saskatchewan shares its borders with American states North Dakota and Montana.)
Kind of them to explain to Canadians where to look for us on a map.
Screaming it at the top of their lungs, while Ottawa fiddles and Canada burns.. Carney has muuuuuch bigger problems than the orange guy (he’s just the messenger..).
I don’t know why anyone takes carney seriously. He has to be the worse candidate ever tried. The Rhino party should get more votes. He is a disaster.
The same reason they took Justin Castreau seriously: they were wrong.
Now, if Canadians collectively fail to show them they are wrong about Marx Carnage, the Liberals will prove again that we are collectively still wrong about them.
Who should we vote for? I know,
Rhino, rhino, rhino … sing along now …
The tusk is great before us,
so come and join the chorus,
Rhino, rhino, rhino is our name,
we run on simple issues,
don’t like us? here’s some tissues,
rhino, rhino, rhino is for me,
yes with rhino leading, we’ll stop the bleeding,
except for bleeding we create (with our tusks)
we’ll leave the Liberals gutted, and the Tories rutted,
and NDP just burned out husks (cuz of our tusks)
We’ll also beat the bloc and they’ll have to wear a frock (alternate lyrics on request),
Rhino rhino rhino for the land
Rhino rhino rhino not so bland.
Do we follow Donald Trump? the clue is in the hump
Rhino rhino rhino USA.
The only ref to Sask. geography is noting which US states it borders, after a paragraph about those supporting possibly joining the US. That is hardly “explaining to Cdns where to find us on a map”. And if they had done so, “between Alberta and Manitoba” would have been better.
Come now, Canadians can find Montana and North Dakota on a map. Whereas they can’t attempt to visualize Alberta without going into spasms of hatred.
Every year we have guys from the US come to our Sask farm to hunt birds. They have been nothing less than stellar, upstanding individuals.
I see us as more closely aligned in values and morals as just MEN, not this elbows up garbage. The western provinces and north western US are one people, and borders will never change that.
Agreed! I am a true Canadian in that I have lived in Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto and Ottawa. I know Vancouver, Kelowna, and Montreal very well. Even though Alberta and Saskatchewan are 2 of the 3 HAVE provinces and pay well into equalization, the rest of Canada thinks of us as “knuckle draggers, mouth breathers and just fallen off the turnip truck” people.
I have posted previously that once my sister’s estate is finalized, I will be reluctantly relocating to Ottawa (AKA the Belly of the Beast) as my 2 executors live in Ottawa and Montreal. It is very important to be near those who will be winding up your estate when that happens. I am a positive person and will have a positive experience living there, but I would prefer to live in Saskatchewan.
Dead on! When we were running our hunting-outfitting business the vast majority of our guests were Americans. We have had at least 50 Yanks in our home, sitting at our table and in some cases lodging with us. To a man, they were polite, generous and decent. There isn’t one of them we wouldn’t welcome back. We have far more in common with them than the laughable “elbows up” club.
Grok is a powerful tool.
Ask Grok a few questions about separation like how much richer Sask an Alberta will be as independents or as new states.
Ask how much of the provincial budgets of the rest of Canada depend on Alberta and Saskatchewan.
The numbers are interesting.
Example: ‘If Alberta separates and Canadians from the Maritime provinces aren’t allowed to work there how does that affect the Maritime province’s finances?’
Grok: “Unemployment and Social Costs:
Displaced workers returning home would spike unemployment (currently ~6-8% in the Maritimes). If 20,000-30,000 workers return, unemployment could rise 1-2 points, assuming some find local jobs.
Provincial budgets would face higher social assistance costs (e.g., New Brunswick’s welfare budget is ~$200 million annually). An extra 10,000 claimants at $10,000 each adds $100 million region-wide, or ~1-2% of combined budgets ($20 billion).
Reduced tax revenue from unemployed workers could cut provincial income taxes by $100-$200 million (assuming $5,000-$7,000 tax per worker), or 0.5-1% of budgets.”
PEI Gov’t gets 20% of their tax “revenue” from equalisation, I don’t have any ideas as to how they’d replace that except for scraping their current budget and starting over, they’ll be plenty of screaming as to whose fault this is.
PEI would be forced to unincorporate and join either New Brunswick or Nova Scotia if equalisation was shut off.
If equalization was shut off, the whole place (i.e. the country) would collapse like a house of cards.
Should have been forced @ Y2K.
Better yet incorporate it as a municipal RV park
I like Poilievre very much I find him refreshing by telling Canada the truth! He will get my vote!
BUT I truly believe the West has for most of my has been held back by Eastern Canada who has stoled Equity payments yearly in the tune of Billions yearly! The East especially Quebec and Ontario under Trudeau( Liberals) tried their best to destroy the Oil Patch, Agriculture, Mining, and our Forest industry! The time to separate is now!
Saskatchewan , Alberta, Manitoba, and British Columbia with the Northern Territories for our survival must separate!
Good for you Keith – Six !
BC won’t go. Most of their votes are in the lower mainland area, and they mostly vote left.
I suspect Manitoba won’t go either.
Northern territories are heavily dependent on Ottawa, they aren’t leaving, and besides, would you want them and the cost of supporting them?
Good points. But, as you say, most of the votes are in the Lower Mainland. I strongly suspect outside of the Lower Mainland and the island, there would be a strong interest in departing from both Ottawa, Quebec AND Victoria. The clamour may become too great.
Manitobans? Good question. I would posit that a great many of them know which side of their bread is buttered. A canaduh without the most productive provinces would see its economy entirely collapsed with a worthless currency.
Tell the Northwest Territories they could all be millionaires if the Mackenzie Delta oil industry opened up with a couple pipelines. They would like millions instead of the meager welfare they currently get. Get the Yukon on board and our oil and gas could go out of Skagway.
Tell the Northwest Territories they could all be millionaires if the Mackenzie Delta oil industry opened up with a couple pipelines.
That was tried 50 years ago. Trudeau the Elder didn’t want Alberta to prosper from it, so he appointed Thomas Berger to head an inquiry about it. The outcome, which we should have guessed beforehand, was to close the project down.
“BC won’t go. Most of their votes are in the lower mainland area, and they mostly vote left.”
Sadly, yes. Rural BC will have to separate…I’ll need to move there.
Why do we need to maintain current provincial borders? If the lower mainland, past Hope want to stay in Canada, let them. The rest of BC would enjoy being free from them.
At least Saskatchewan voters are close to being equal to Atlantic voters. Alberta voters’ votes are only worth about 1/2 as much as Atlantic voters’ votes.
Nice Constitution we’ve got hete.
I have a plan to reduce Atlantic over-representation. Next redistribution increase the number of MPs to 400. Then have every province lose 1/4 of its members to end up with 300 total. There would likely have to be a provincially unanimous amendment to the Constitution. Even if PEI, NB, NS, NL, MB, and SK lost one or 2 seats each it would be a start. If they won’t agree raise the total MPs to 500 if you have to, to make it fairer. Then ask again.
I suspect the number of people who are willing to ditch Canada and become either independent or a US state is much higher than the polls indicate. I have met only one who is adamant that Alberta must remain Canadian. Everyone else says that they are in favour or could be persuaded. BTW Alberta and Manitoba share a border. They call it Saskatchewan.
I’m sure you’ve heard the canard about why SK is so windy.
Having said that, I’m encouraged to see that it seems that support for separation, and joining the US is growing, but it’s still not enough.
To make Central Canada take notice, support for secession should be closer to 50%.
I don’t think we’re there yet, but hopefully, the current trend that’s seeing the movement keep growing will continue.
— the REAL fc
Former Alberta Premier Bible Bill Aberhart quote from about a 100 years ago
“…If you have not suffered enough, it is your God-given right to suffer more. But if you wish to elect your own representatives to implement the remedy, this is your only way out….”
Will anyone in the west decide they have been screwed over enough to actually get off the turnip truck and actually do something concrete about it other than complain?
Viva the West Libre.
Harrumph. Just look at how many Albertans are leery about leaving the Canada Pension Plan for their own. Alberta’s politics has been diluted greatly through immigration.
The Province of Alberta suffers severe battered spouse syndrome. We will only be leaving on a gurney. There is no way it will be on our feet. There are rare exceptions, but I don’t believe Alberta will be one.
The Lieberals also exacerbated things by shipping the imported supporters to Calgary and Edmonton. Leaving CONfederation to them is cutting off their taxpayer funded gravy train.
A dark, but realistic assessment. That is why it will be imperative to end the gas-lighting and provide accurate accessible information.
We must do a lot “preventative medicine” to avoid our beloved patient from being rolled out on a gurney…or a slab
You know, if you keep this talk up there’ll be an attempt to draft the journalist Matt Gurney to lead the movement.
If there were a journalist named Derek Slab, I’d be worried.
To combine the last post of Jim Rikkard’s comments about the illusory ChiCom GDP … let me say that Carney’s job will be to convince Canadians to build more uninhabited cities. Or more to point … uninhabited modular homes … more unsold EV Delivery vans delivering nothing and using internet controls to command the people to be happy.
Newsflash: Rural living is different than city living and so are the people.
Its like wild animals versus zoo animals.
Geography, not borders, has a lot to do with it.
Absolutely. The disease is urbanitis.
Vive le ouest libre!
…and that’s 33% without the independence movement having to do any work at all. With a starting point at 33%, how high will that number go if separatists start an information campaign and explain the benefits of independence? They only need another 17 points to get to 50%. If Carney is elected PM and continues to attack Alberta and Saskatchewan, I’d guess those numbers get to around 60% rather quickly.
LC The Clarity Act indicated at the time of its forming that the vote had to be 50% +1 ( SupremeCourt!) In talking to a friend of mine ( One of the best lawyers in Saskatchewan.) He indicated that a catch could be the lack of the S.C. spelling out what the +1 meant!
Yeah, could mean +1 vote or +1%. Personally, I’d consider a vote that close a loss because having such a slim win would mean about half the population of the province wasn’t convinced. But, like Quebec, you don’t have to stop with one referendum. You’d have to listen to the concerns of the No voters and convince them of the benefits of independence before a second referendum. What constitutes a convincing win is the question, IMO.
While it’s helpful that the National Post explains to their eastern readers where these western separatist leaning provinces are, it would be helpful too to explain why these western provinces lean to separating.
They could mention how the eastern provinces have much more representation at the federal table (number of MP’s per 100k citizens, & the imbalance in the Senate), and everything about equalisation, our underrepresentation at the federal courts, and their seeming to not want to utilise resources under their feet like oil or gas.
LC Bennett, the separatist campaign has scarcely started and the base is 33% here. In the MSM when separatism is mentioned it’s still “you’ll be landlocked” and no mention of old Canada having lost easy access to their Chinese supply houses. 50% + 1 and we won’t be negotiating from a position of weakness.
The landlocked boogeyman isn’t that scary. We have good road and rail line access by land into the country that buys the majority of our goods, the US. The other problem with the landlocked fear is that Canada would have to violate international agreements that guarantee that landlocked nations have access through neighbouring countries. And, of course, landlocking Alberta and Saskatchewan also means landlocking BC and their Pacific ports from the rest of Canada.
Canada would be make a deal because otherwise they lose access their Pacific import/export ports and Canada could be sued for violating international treaties that protect landlocked countries.
The gaslighters will insist that Canada has no such obligation. The (even then still owned by Quebecor) Calgary Sun editorial board was adamant about that. They said so after each letter to the editor that would explain how an independent but landlocked Alberta would be guaranteed access by international treaty. The editors insisted it was not the case.
Canada signed the international agreements that protect the trade access of landlocked countries. I’m guessing that the editors are justifying their argument by assuming the an independent Alberta and Saskatchewan won’t be recognized as a country by other nations. A few big nations – perhaps ones that want to buy oil, gas, potash, uranium, etc- would be needed to officially recognize the new country for the international treaties to apply.
I wonder which nation that would be? We just need one…the most important one. I have a feeling that it’s current leadership would be very open.
Nothing p!sses me off more than the landlocked argument! We already are!!!! Getting rid of Ottawa would allow us to negotiate and set our own access.
Gee, I wonder if the Burlington Northern Santa Fe would like to carry all our Oil, Grains, Potash etc?
One never really knows what the American government will do but the products I mentioned are generally in short supply around the world while demand is high. I’d guess the US would recognize the new country because of the economic benefits to Americans. After that, countries closely aligned/dependent on the US would likely do the same.
Another product I didn’t mention was rare earth metals. The Saskatchewan Research Council opened the first rare earth metal production facility in North America with new, patented technology (though others in the US are close to opening). Might be important both as a source of ready for market rare earth metal and selling the new production technology. Enriching our own uranium for the medical industry and nuke power plants would also be possible with independence.
100%
Without an agreement, their worst case alternative is using the Panama Canal, or the North-West Passage, any day now it’ll be ice free, lol…
I suspect the USA would offer negotiations to statehood quickly, and if that wasn’t going to move forward they’ll simply recognise this new country, negotiate an agreement to cover most things, and get on with it. There’s a businessman in charge now of the USA, he does that sort of thing well.
Having to ship around Alberta and Saskatchewan would cause serious disruptions to BC’s fentanyl trade. /s
I doubt there’s enough coolies to build a railway around AB/Sask. though Yukon, NWT, and Nunavut then through Manitoba, when was the last time you bought steel anyways?
Apply the basic environmental oversight rules to building anything in Canada, and that railway won’t be started until 2040 at the earliest.
The /sarc just unravels the arguments completely and both sides see how a negotiated settlement would be better. It would be helpful to keep note of how “fairness” has brought Canada to this end, and make note that the devil ALWAYS cheats.
Always.
Fact is our natural trade corridors are North -South .Of course we can always continue to be colonized East-West. I am beginning to believe the best result is a Liberal win. 4 more years of what they have planned will make the separation option very attractive. However based on the Liberal party leadership race shenanigans, do you really believe they will allow such a vote?
In the past Danielle has not personally supported Western Separation,
but her comment about a referendum cannot be seen as an empty threat.
Nevertheless, a referendum cannot fail to pass convincingly,
a loud and clear mandate is required for both sides to come to grips with the inevitable consequences.
The amount of retards that bought in to this elbows up nonsense tells me there’s zero chance the lemmings of Sask are going anywhere. I take no solace in being the best of the worst.
Take courage. The Liberal Party of Canada’s never-ending vision of only themselves
cannot endure the catastrophe they leave in their wake,
and policies which intentionally exploit ignorance of one’s neighbor
is cause for revolt, which does not require a polled majority.
It needn’t have come to this but Canada is witnessing
her despicable tyranny desperately hold on to power.
Separation or not, the time has come when the people must stand up and throw them out,
electorally or otherwise.
I’m afraid you are sadly mistaken. We were hoping this election will be the end of them and restore some semblance of sanity. To pump the brakes even a little bit. We are quite naive
All the liarberal party apparently has to do is replace its leader with someone with a less punchable face and all is forgiven. I didn’t think it possible, but the Greatest Economist Ever (TM) is an even bigger liar than Le Dauphin!
Same policies
Same members
Same corruption
Yet our dear friends in the east will gladly vote for them as long as the free stuff keeps rolling and we attack and p!ss off our biggest customer and friend.
As long as Alberta and Saskatchewan continue to pay for it like the suckers we are
“The amount of retards that bought in to this elbows up nonsense tells me there’s zero chance the lemmings of Sask are going anywhere. I take no solace in being the best of the worst.”
Agreed. That’s why I am voting PPC again…because I now believe that it will be necessary to BURN IT ALL DOWN before the good Liberal/Tory lemmings finally accept reality and admit that their support and votes for Canada’s ‘conservative’ party helped destroy the country they claim to have loved so much.
I wish it weren’t necessary, but it is.
It is my understanding that we are now down to three “have” provinces. (Perhaps I am wrong and would rely on others more well versed in such matters) Even mighty Ontario is receiving transfer payments from the feds. A couple of recent news items leads me to believe, that no matter what, we will soon be down to two.
BC is running a massive deficit with no allowance yet for tariff ramifications. Their debt has been downgraded by the rating agencies. The softwood lumber industry is in dire straights. Not sure about how other industries, especially extractive ones are doing. The NDP faces the difficult prospect of either cutting spending or raising taxes. I wonder which one they’ll choose.
This will leave Alberta and Saskatchewan to foot the bill for the entire nation. At the same time, the Greatest Economist Ever (TM) will be placing restrictions and taxes upon the only industry that is working right now and supporting the “nation”
Pharaoh will, once again, force the slaves to make bricks without straw, but not allow the tally of bricks to decrease. The voters of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, will decide that, indeed, this is the correct path
Will we finally wake up to the realization that the ONLY way we can preserve some prosperity, some measure of quality of life, is to leave this Potemkin village?
What will be the result for my fellow Westerners if we wake up one morning and find that we are no longer under a red, stylized fleur-de-lis? What difference will there be in their lives other than not having to work until noon for someone else but only until maybe 10:30? Perhaps they will wake up and realize that their hopes, fears and opinions are not derided and censored under an increasingly authoritarian and dictatorial government eagerly supported by a population addicted to the wealth and productivity generated by others.
I plan on donating to the Alberta Prosperity Project. I will be doing so with cash or some other anonymous means because I would not put it past this “Strong and Free” country to freeze the bank accounts of those that dare disagree with the regime. After all, there is ample precedent.
Finally, polling, it would seem to me, is a very inexact science. I strongly suspect that when the rigs start heading south, businesses start going bankrupt, people lose their homes and the suicide rate spikes, just as it did in the early 80s with the NEP, the realization will finally hit home.
All these plagues that will afflict Kanadians will come to pass. But just like in Venezuela, the “cure” Kanadians will beg to stop the evil enslaving socialism is more evil enslaving socialism.
BC’s hold onto the “have status” is teetering, AB and Sask. are on solid ground… I expect that next year as the country sees BC’s debt load implode their status, this will leave AB/Sask as “haves” and 8 “have-nots”
Ontario isn’t going to be back with the “have” provinces anytime soon with their condo collapse, the expected closure of auto manufacturing plants…
Which isn’t sustainable, as much as I’ve grown to hate that grotesquely overused word, it’s useful to throw it back at the Green’s faces as it fits so well.
Some of the separatists here have problems with the Alberta Prosperity Project, I haven’t looked into those issues and I expect with a few different groups advocating for separation they’d be better off to “join together to separate” and have their cause organised against the actual problem rather than each other.
If the #Libranos do win this election, the west should be made aware of what the fallout from their win means for us. This will be a serious kick in the nuts for oil and gas here, for petroleum dependent agriculture in Sask, and a jump in both provincial budget debts.
Expect a jump for those tallying what separation support really is.
Some serious polling to pinpoint those areas we need to work on.
Thanks for that Marc. Would like to know what issues you have with APP. I just see the surface and haven’t done any real digging
I am looking for a home where I can put my money and my mouth! (Lot more mouth than money)
This X/Twitter link is why I mentioned an issue “some have an issue” with The APP:
I’ll include in a reply to this comment that Jeff Rath responded to, it seems a bit of a miscommunication, though I do think that if there are a few organisations advocating for separation, soon that separation vote will be split amongst those who feel “we’re the real separatists and those people are not” …

Let them freeze my bank accounts.
There’s very little left in them anyway.
Besides, I have no debt, and I have other assets and holdings, so I repeat… “let them freeze my bank accounts!”

I’m an Albertan, and I think independence is not going to work. We’d end up beggared like Haiti. Becoming part of the USA is appealing right now, but what would happen if another Biden or Kamala or (god help us) Hillary gets in power?
When Danielle Smith released the Alberta Pension Plan report, it showed how much better off Alberta would be with its own pension plan, and how much the rest of Canada would lose if Alberta opted out of the CPP, which it is entitled to do. I hoped that it would be an opportunity for Alberta to bring the federal government and other provinces to the table to renegotiate things like the (un)Equalization Program, fairer redistribution of the number of Senators for the provinces (for term limits), and same for Supreme Court Justices (currently 9) where 3 MUST come from Quebec, 3 MUST come from Ontario, only 2 from 4 western provinces, only 1 from 4 atlantic provinces, none from Yukon, NWT or Nunavut.
Alas, the APP possibility seems to have lost momentum and priority, while the federal propaganda machine has been churning out all the hysteria and negativity that money can buy, so I doubt it will happen. But I would vote for it, and I’m 75.
Over 50 years ago my commanding officer asked me a question that I still haven’t been able to answer in an honest fashion. His question to me was “What benefit has Alberta had from being part of Canada”. If you can honestly give me a good answer I would be happy to hear it.
I like to pose the question; If Alberta was its own nation would you join a country that
a> Purposefully, under represents you in its national legislature
b> Imposes a constitution that treats you, at best, as a third class citizen
c> Imposes a constitution that can be “reasonably interpreted” to take away fundamental rights and has discrimination permanently enshrined
d> Have all decisions made by one part of the nation without any consideration for the others? Primarily the ability to vote yourself money from the more productive minority
e> Require you to work to provide a more than generous stipend to those that refuse to work, refuse to invest, refuse to develop but instead purposefully discourage work, investment and development
f> Force a foreign and dying language down your throat. One that you must have to reach the higher levels of the civil service and military
g> Denigrates its own history. Attacks those that built the country. Refuses to be responsible for its own national defence. In fact, throws away its own history by raising a flag with the stylized symbol of the only province that matters while discarding the flag that around 100, 000 died under and a million fought to defend.
h> Is an economic dependant and military parasite to its closest friend and neighbour all the while attacking and insulting that neighbour. When the neighbour has had enough of the free loading, you cry victim hood and attack your neighbour?
i> Be policed by the gestapo of the ruling, single party state that always seems to have cause to investigate provincial leaders but never seems to see any criminality among its rulers in Ottawa?
How many more?
How many more?
The APP project got put on the back burner (and I think they turned the gas off) I suspect that it will quickly be re-ignited when the Greatest Economist Ever (TM) passes legislation to divest the CPP from all Oil and Gas.
I would argue that us becoming like Haiti is a pretty long stretch. I would list the reasons but I don’t want my post deleted and me banned!
It is very obvious that a united canaduh is well on its way to Venezuela status. In all ways except the language and the warm weather
I will list the reason an independent Alberta is unlikely to become like Haiti:
The culture is different.
Saskatchewan — all right angles.
heh.
Riddle: What do Sasquatches sing?
A: a Saskatoon.
If SKExit happens, you’re going to have to raze Vonda. There’s a lot of TDS here and these folks will not accept independence or statehood.
If Tommy Douglas wrote his master’s thesis about the people of Weyburn, he could have gotten a PhD studying Vonda.
Quite the little exercise in State Propaganda,from the State Media.
“Interest in Separation is less than 35%”..
Westerners are not serious.
Heh.
A Separation Movement with no leaders.
With our choices not yet constrained to surrender or fight..
You know,”The Tories may yet win”..type possibilities.
That WEXIT is at 30% or more in Saskatchewan and Alberta, should be frightening to those who believe in Confederated Canada..
So where is the case for staying in this corrupt failure of a nation?
As noted above:“What benefit has Alberta had from being part of Canada”.
Never heard a good answer in the last 40 years.
The rest of Canada’s inability to recognize this risk is the western prairie independence movement’s best friend in many ways. As is the rest of Canada’s arrogant, obnoxious attitudes and abusive policies. They seem unable to change their behavior, regardless of the consequences.
I mean, imagine if your doctor said you had a 33% chance of death unless you radically change your diet and start exercising. You’d probably be concerned enough to take heed of the warning. . But, in this scenario, the rest of Canada says “no worries. I’m not changing my lifestyle until my chances of death reach 50%.”
This sense of western alienation hit a fever pitch in 1980 so nothing new. We got lulled into complacency with the election of Pierre Poilievre, oh, sorry, I mean Brian Mulroney. Forgive me, it’s the same soothing rhetoric that sucked in the west back then…for a few years.
When it became apparent that Mulroney represented only the “golden triangle” ,well the west got stirred up again. So then we got sucked into believing all we needed was better conservative representation in the CON-federations parliament where we could vent and hope our colonial masters would care, amend the constitution to fully bring the “west in”! What a pipe dream.
So we started a new federal party, which logically, made no mathematical sense whatsoever.
The separatists in the 80’s were correct in their assessment of con-federation. They were dismissed and ridiculed mercilessly. Which meant they were right over the target.
The potential for fairness in CON-federation, independence, statehood or U.S. “protectorate” lies with in each provincial jurisdiction. I’m hoping that Scott and Danielle are up to the challenge to make history.
“CON-federation” is a con!
Holding westerners in a colonial status they desperately need to shake themselves free of.
““What you allow, will continue.”
Let’s make a break for the door…it will do much for our self respect.
“When you have a lot of trees you have to at some point…see the forest.”
““There’s a monument that stands at the Alamo, it’s there not because they won…but because they fought.”
Western Separation from Can Ahh Duh is as certain as the national debt.
Support for Separation grows as our choices shrink.
Money .
Money talks.
The opportunity to use the raw resources God gave our land,to live a comfortable life and pass on accumulated wealth to our children,has vanished in Liberal Canada.
The Welfare State has cost too much.
Interest on that National Debt now costs us more than we spend on our mythical “Free Healthcare”.
That debt amounts to a denial of all choice to those who follow behind us.
“Investing in Welfare”.
WEXIT is unavoidable,because we cannot pay for what Eastern Canada has bought.
Imagine you and a friend go to the bar for a meal..
Next to you is a party of 30 drinking and gorging themselves..
End of night,you are served with that party’s bill.
You protest.
You get thrown in jail.
Your bank account raided.
Equalization works just so.
Who are our trading partners?
Which way to the goods and money flow?
Who do we share common interests and ethics with?
Where do our enemies reside?
