Re: Alberta
Evidently the Albertan separatists suffer from the same delusions as their Quebec brothers in arms.
They want an independent Alberta with no regulations from Ottawa or eastern Canadian interests, and no federal taxes.
But they want to keep their Canadian passports and Canada Pension Plan entitlements.
Their lawyer Jeffery Rath managed to say this with a straight face.

If the will is truly there, a few items can be changed as nothing is written in stone.
If it is, break the stone.
If it is, break the stone.
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Re: Alberta
Liberals already broke the con glass ceiling. And have run deficits for years now. So, you are correct. We should break all the rules. Who needs to listen to the fine print.....burn it all down!!

Re: Alberta
Yes, they do not want to suffer the same failings as the rest of canada. Would like the same perks given to other provinces like Quebec and back east. Is it that hard to acknowledge that under current liberal rule, all the numbers in every single item important to our survival is failing.ogg vorbis wrote: ↑May 13th, 2025, 6:30 pm Evidently the Albertan separatists suffer from the same delusions as their Quebec brothers in arms.

Now yes, some for personal reasons want that but the great people of alberta want something better. Something very clearly the current liberals cannot provide.
Why is that such a problem.
Liberals want the freedom and protection, with their passports to travel the world under NATO security and protection but they don't want to pay for it.

Re: Alberta
If separatists truly believe Canada is failing and they don't want to 'suffer the same failings' then they are free to pack up and go somewhere else, because any way you slice it, Albertan separatism is a non starter and just wastes time and taxpayer money for a fringe minority with unpopular views.

I don't know what's funnier - the fact that conservatives lost the election or the fact that some still can't admit it.

Re: Alberta
Canadian citizens are eligible for Canadian passports. If Alberta were to separate from Confederation, Albertans would no longer be Canadians.zoo wrote: ↑May 14th, 2025, 7:12 amWhy is that such a problem.ogg vorbis wrote: ↑May 13th, 2025, 6:30 pm Evidently the Albertan separatists suffer from the same delusions as their Quebec brothers in arms.

Canadians who pay into the CPP are eligible to its entitlements. Albertans who separate would no longer pay into it.
They can't have it both ways.

Re: Alberta
There needs to be pressure put on Pierre Poilievre to pick a side over Alberta's separation issues before a by election is called since he is running in Alberta.

Re: Alberta
Mr Poilievre’s pre-election statement on his position on Alberta separation is important not only for Alberta voters, but all Canadians. His position must be clearly identified.
We live in a time when intelligent people are being silenced so that those who cannot think for themselves will not be offended.

Re: Alberta
Why is it so difficult to put this to rest?
Pierre Poilievre has already very clearly stated that he is against Alberta separation.
He has also stated that he understands where the frustrations of Albertans stems from. Anyone who's taking that as him condoning separation is mistaken. If that's the case, maybe rethink where you get your news from.

Four horses each pulling in different directions. Remind you of “Drawing and Quartering?”

The result, death of the criminal usually to the entertainment of all in the public market place. However, the Alberta health care system is not a criminal and its destruction has no entertainment value. It would just affect the welfare of all living in Alberta.
