Had enough of confederation! Alberta better off on her own.

There sure doesn't seem like there is a lot in Canada for us Albertans. Other than Saskatchewan looking like we don't have a whole lot of province's who give a sh!t about us? What do you think?

I say we definitely separate. All natural resources issues aside,Things are only going to get worse in the future, Ontario's population is about ready to retire. Guess who's going to pay for all of their pensions? That's right...Alberta. Even if we get Pipelines, we are still so screwed. The East will continue to rape and pillage us and it will only get worse. There are some that believe we would be in a way better position to negotiate pipelines if we separated. The rest of Canada would have to negotiate rail, flights and a number of other things through a Sovereign Nation. If we could get Saskatchewan and Manitoba on board we would really have an opportunity to have a great country. I would love for northern BC to come along but realistically speaking I'm not sure how that would work.

It's about time! Might be the only way to smarten up my own province. Friggin' leaf lickers in the lower mainland need their eyes opened.

The good part of BC could join us, leave the lower mainland out.

The blood sucking lower mainland feels is like an ontario and quebec sucking the country dry.

And should be an easy war if we wanna anex them later.

Think of all the money this new little country would have with all the resources and the port at Kitimat.

We would be Dubai rich.

 

[eclipse1966]

problem is that we don't even own the port of Kitimat..... Saudis do!

"Problem"

Saudi "Ownership"?

Not in our new country.

First thing we do is nationalize foreign companies and sell them off to private corporations.

 

[skegpro]

And we get rid of Indian reserves and all treaty rights.

The can go claim refugee status in Canada if they don't like it.

 

[skegpro]

National sport would be hockey.

 

[skegpro]

And we would round up the remaining Mountain Caribou and have a big BBQ to celebrate our independence.

On another note, if we were to take our portion of the national debt per capita we would probably have it paid off in a year or two. The vast majority of the debt would be left with Eastern Canada, and they would have no real way of paying it off

"The Supreme Court of Canada made separation plausible — separation negotiations would start as soon as a clear majority of Albertans in a clearly stated referendum voted to leave Canada"

- from the FP article

We could all drive Lambo's to our oilfield jobs.

[Mike270412]

No racism here;we will all be treated equally.No handouts ,we can all pay taxes.

And we get rid of Indian reserves and all treaty rights.

[Got boost want snow]

I have to agree we need to separate, we would be better off. As soon as Nothead goes we need to go after separation.
