  2. I had no idea who it was so had to go look it up. Now I understand the hieroglyphics in the story header.

    1. “I had no idea who it was so had to go look it up”

      I had no idea who Don Davies was, either.

    2. Not hieroglyphs, syllables I think. May be wrong on this but isn’t it a syllabic script?

  6. Seems like parties ought to start making candidates sign a contract in exchange for party support, with a clause that if they cross the floor they have to face the voters and personally reimburse the party.

    1. I can understand someone leaving a party over a policy dispute but would make them sit as an independent until the next election to remove the threat of buying an MP for a committee seat or other inducement.
      “We have established what you are, madam. We are now merely haggling over the price.”

      1. This is probably why in the US they implemented the primary process for selecting candidates
        The reps can still cross the floor, but if the electorate in their district disagrees with their decision they may find they don’t get to run for re-election.

    2. ‘ought to’. see, thats the key, *who* is going to come up with the ‘ought to’ but the ones DOING IT?
      ‘senate reform’ does NOT *BENEFIT*the ones initiating the ‘reform’ so in keeping with the tradition established during the egyptian empire it dont happen.
      and when ABSK hive off and ‘things’ need fine tuning? gooooood luck !!!

      1. That’s why I said the parties, not the government. If you signed a contract with the party when becoming a candidate, that contract is between the party and the candidate, and crossing the floor would be a breach of contract that the party could enforce in court. It would be up to each party to do that with their own candidates, and enforce the penalties when people left, nothing to do with government, and there is not a single party that sees a benefit in spending money on a campaign for someone who will join another after being elected (except of course the CCP).

  7. If you are a backbench liberal, and see these mercenaries cross the floor and get rewarded, wouldn’t that piss you off?

  9. There’s a going rate for building a majority without the electorate. A Ministerial appointment or other considerations at minimum. With this regime, virtually anything can be negotiated. P. J. O’Rourke coined an appropriate description in his book, ‘Parliament of Whores’.

    2. Population of Nunavut 36000
      750 homes x 2.5 (approximate occupants per unit in the south) is 1875 people
      1875 / 36000 = 5.2% 1/ 0.052 =19.2 say 20
      So the housing stock is increased by enough to house 1/20th of the population at $640,000 per unit
      That’s the price of democracy in Canada

  13. The farce of Canadian “democracy” continues. How many Conservative and NDP voters in 4 ridings have been directly disenfranchised and betrayed by backroom deals? Add in over 8 million voters who will soon be governed by a Liberal majority that was not elected but who will have the powers of what we in Canada call a benign dictatorship. Does anyone need any more evidence of the complete rot of the Canadian parliamentary system?

    I assume Canadians, like in the UK, will now have policies introduced like digital id, trials without juries, higher taxes, more mass immigration, more political alignment with China, more Green Energy nonsense, more censorship, more firearm confiscations etc. Canada’s descent to economic rock bottom and authoritarianism has just picked up speed.

    The only question remaining is if Alberta and Saskatchewan want to hit rock bottom with the rest of Canada. Independence can’t be worse than what’s coming over the next few years. In fact, Alberta and Saskatchewan would flourish without the regulatory burdens and taxes imposed by Ottawa. Projections I’ve read is that the new country would nearly double its GDP per capita to around $165,000 (from about $90.000 today) in 20 years. This would rank Ab-sask in the 5th-10th position globally just by cutting away the dead weight called Canada.

    1. and THAT outcome hinges on how bad the CanaDUH virus has infested those in ABSK.
      nd rest assured the troc ‘the rest of canaduh’ will pull every rotten stunt to thwart any move for referendum. despite an open door approach to the kaybeck blackmailers.
      occurs to me that moght be why *that* nonsense is allowed, some unspoken understanding the blackmail is allowed because its all bluff and a means to bully troc.
      l have NO REGARD for this ‘post national state’ anymore. it was nice to grow up in a land that provided houseing and work for my parents, an edjukayshun for me, the means to guard my health and stay away from the medical morasse it is now, but given the ‘average’ life expectancy give me another decade, well lm just going to coast.

      decade, sounds like ‘decayed’ how fitting. you nmadog namby pambys destroying what the world had in 1867 now you want us to MAiD ourselves and by extention the entire nation. why should anyone give a nmad except the likes of this traitor?

      1. Yes, dirty tricks are just standard operating procedure for the federal Liberal government. An intense threats and fear campaign through the media is a given. My other predictions:

        1. Try to the stop the referendum via the legal system. If this fails…

        2. Flood Alberta with new voters. If this fails…

        3. Attempt to interfere with the vote counting. If this fails…

        4. Dispute the results. If this fails…

        5. Attempt to delay and prolong separation negotiations by being obnoxious. Then demand a new independence referendum.

        Hopefully, the Alberta government pre-empts election interfence by enforcing residency requirements, old fashioned pen and paper plus handcounting, in person voting only (no mail in voting), vote counters and observers stay until every vote is counted, 1 day voting (no early voting and surprise late ballots). If the voters approve of independence then establish a time limit for negotiations. If negotiations fail then declare independence quickly after the time limit ends.

        1. yep.
          they have to be proactive, correctly anticipate and right from the start guard against the skullduggery because it will be wrapped in gold foil. it will be gleaming spectacular, endless promises, endless cajoling with one hand and threatgening with the other.
          and more promises and lies.
          and changers to federal laws which are in actuality as will be suspected and pointed out, predomoinantly affect ABSK. with tyhe rehearesed and scripted respnses/excuses.

          dont
          fall
          for it ABSK. l *personally* need you to exist sso there is *somewhere* l can escape to in the event l outlive the winding down period of the post national state. where to turn?

    2. The sad fact about abusive relationships is that the majority of abuse victims leave on a gurney. Only a very small number leave on foot.

      1. Let’s hope Alberta and Saskatchewan are the exception. Abusers never change and the abuse increases over time with occasional honeymoon periods. Canada has had decades to address the concerns of Alberta and Saskatchewan but, instead, they became more politically and economically abusive.

        The rest of Canada has shown no inclination to change their behavior towards Alberta and Saskatchewan. I doubt they’ll do anything to meaningfully improve their relationship with the 2 provinces now. The fractures in Canada will continue to grow and fester even if the firsr referendum fails. In my mind, independence is inevitable, either now or later.

        1. Unfortunately the “rest of Canada” can be found in all the institutions that bless the urban sociology of both provinces, likely worse in Alberta due to the size of its cities and bureaucracies. Getting to 50% plus one in a referendum is a stretch, IMHO, but I would love to be wrong.

          1. Perhaps federal government induced poverty will clarify the mind of left wing voters. I think a big recession is near and most of the reasons for the upcoming recession are due to 10 years of federal government policy choices.

  15. Inevitable liberal majority after the 13th of April byelections. Read last night then prorogue parliament to reset committee liberal majority which gives sole control to sitting government.

    Assume new throne speech with new agenda, so what will we see. No question they will look for more money, like
    Pension fund investment into Government ventures
    Capital gains hikes
    Unrealized capital gains
    More Carbon tax which we are starting all over April 1
    More C9
    More immigration, adding pressure to social safety nets
    More gun control, as its the majority white conservative male owner
    More UNDRIP, especially in BC
    Could go on and on
    The decline will continue, I am hopefully wrong but gut tells me I am right

    1. The three by elections are/were liberal seats.
      If they win they are no closer
      They lose, it will be liberal pundits on overtime coming up with spin, and the PMO in a state of frustration.

      1. If the three by-elections are lost, expect an anti-Trump election in the Spring followed by a majority Liberal government. If they are won, welcome majority Liberal government. Depressing eh?

  17. Never underestimate Saskatchewan.
    Buffalo,the new nation.
    Can Ahh Duh has nothing to offer,just Fear Uncertainty and Doubt about a Free West’s future.
    This is easily overridden by the certainty of A State Of Thuggery in Confederated Can Ahh duh.
    The Parasitic Overload threatens us with “What might Come” as they steal blatantly,lie,cheat and destroy..
    What is is real,what might be, we shall see.

    The words of our Kleptocrats are empty of any meaning.
    They talk,but never listen.
    We will be free of the Parasitic Overload,because we can no longer carry them.

    One wonders,do Liberal and NDP voters believe they are exempt from insolvency?
    Why did they desire the destruction of Western Wealth?
    When their very existence as freeloaders, depends on Western Canadians being so rich,that they will tolerate the steal?
    Such a waste.
    Canada could have been a thing of beauty.
    We could all have been even richer and lazier,except the idea of Wealthy Western Provinces is “inconceivable” in Ottawa.
    I shall be watching with great interest as Welfare Can Ahh Duh eats itself.
    Independence is the only sane path left.
    And when Western Citizens keep their own wealth from Ottawa,then Canada is over.

    No Federal promise is worth a wet spit,when the Western Danegeld stops.

    2. “One wonders,do Liberal and NDP voters believe they are exempt from insolvency?“
      They don’t want to be exempt. It’s the “PLAN”. Destroy our economy and make all Canadians totally dependent on the government. You know . . . WEF (Communism). You will have nothing and be happy. ‍
      First Trudeau the Imbecile and now Carney the Inept. No one does this to a country except on purpose.

  18. I know Canada is a smaller country … but this woman’s “businesses” have a long way to go before making Ilhan Omar kind of money … $30m out of nowhere.

    I guess it’s good business to be an EXTREMIST fringe minority in Western Nations these days. How generous of the majority ‘white’ taxpayers. To paraphrase Kamala Harris … we ‘whites’ are unburdening our ‘white man’s burdens” with cash payments that burden OUR people.

    1. “I gave Mornay double his lands in Scotland, matching estates in England. Lochlan turned for… for much less”
      – King Edward “Longshanks” (as portrayed by Patrick McGoohan in “Braveheart” 1995)

  19. Floor Crossing.
    Imagine if Liberal MP’s crossed the floor to a position of Honesty, Ethics and Proper representation of their voters?

    Of course ,given that they voluntarily ran as Liberals,do they even know what honesty,integrity and conflict of interest ,are?
    Does a Liberal even know what makes a civil society?

    If these elected members were actively seeking to destroy Canada..What would they do differently?

  20. Jeez, I hate to bring it up, but doesn’t leaving the NDP to join the Liberals demonstrate at least a vestigial remnant of the thought process that supposedly differentiated homo sapiens from the australopithecines?

  21. What was never on my life’s bingo card? Needing a contemporary Rosetta Stone to interpret road signs … in Western nations.
