I wish the people who would like to separate would just move if they hate it so much.
But it’s a combination of them being generally too unemployable to be able to immigrate to the states and being too lazy to want to actually move their own ass down there.
Eby is great. As a former Albertan now living in BC and watching from the outside, it’s a real shame Alberta doesn’t have leadership equivalent to Eby. Hopefully Nenshi can change that in the not-so-distant future.
I am enviously looking over the border. Would you share Eby? 😉
I don’t think talk of separation itself is bad, even if I think it’s exceedingly stupid.
But people should stop talking about other provinces separating when such sentiment obviously isn’t there at all. If the prairies want to separate, stop acting like BC is in on it as well. From what I can tell, it feels more like BC wants to have nothing to do with Alberta if it can help it, and it’s the federal government that’s forcing them to play nice together.
All this separation talk is entirely Alberta, with a bit of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and even then the numbers suggest that it’s at most 30% of Alberta that is actually talking about it.
If anything we should be adding to Western Canada. Take in Washington, Oregon, Alaska then California.
Why should we separate from Canada when America and Alberta suck?
What we (Alberta) need to do is separate from Danielle Smith. I wish she would just move to Florida to be with her buddy.
Sedition used to be a hangable offense.
I’m looking at you AB.
If you believe in rule by the people, secession needs to be a valid option. It’s how America was founded, and it’s more or less how Canada was founded. Now, using it as some sword of Damocles is harmful to society, but calling those who want to leave criminals isn’t helpful. In the opinion of Quebec, 50% plus one is sufficient. Perhaps I don’t agree with that, but I think it’s the minimum that should be acceptable. But I think it’s less of a crime to say the nation is no longer serving the will of some significant segment of the populace and that they wish to have the final say in their governance.
That said, capitulation to a foreign power at the expense of your nation is a different issue.
I dont get why we dont just ignore it?
I don’t get why people like you constantly think that “ignoring” rising authoritarianism and fascism is the solution
They’re just lazy and/or bots
It worked for Russi… I mean it worked for Germa… I mean surely Turke…
Nope. I guess ignoring it doesn’t make it go away.
Easy enough when it’s just Internet trolls, much harder when it’s a primere (or worse, multiple primers).
At a certain point, the kind of people who buy into this shit just need to be ignored. They cannot be rehabillitated , at leasst not until they lose it all
So, if you find that you have cockroaches in your house, do you ignore them and hope they’ll go away, or do you address the problem and try to exterminate the little bastards?
There’s also the thing
