@autopartsguybc @onlyafewcows Never let a tradgy go to waste, exploit it to go after lawful gun owners and hide the fact that the shooter didn’t have a firearms license and was prohibited from owning firearms. Looks more like the system failed and some beurocrats heads should roll instead. Just saying.

Finalmente, el hombre reclinó su asiento, lo que provocó que el adolescente resultara herido por el impacto repentino.
If Canada wants Alberta to stay, it's actually quite simple - just treat Alberta fairly.
Here's how Ottawa could do that:
1) Fix the House of Commons so it's proportional to population.
2) Fix the Senate, so it's elected and there are an equal number of seats per province.
3) Repeal the multiple pieces of legislation preventing pipeline and energy project construction and let the private sector get to work.
4) Get rid of the equalization program.
5) Convert transfer payments using a tax point transfer.
6) Give up the "spending power" on issues that are provincial jurisdiction.
Note that literally none of these would change things to favour Alberta, they would simply remove existing inequalities to make things fair for all provinces.
If the rest of Canada isn't willing to even consider making things fair, why should Alberta stay?
Quebec gets it.
Bloc Québécois House Leader Christine Normandin was asked about Alberta separation and the referendum question.
The reporter kept pressing.
She refused the bait.
Her answer was simple:
She is not Albertan.
Ottawa is not Albertan.
Albertans decide.
She even warned against “Papa Ottawa” talking down to people with disdain.
For once, I agree with the Bloc.
You do not have to support Alberta separation to understand the principle.
If Albertans want to ask the question, it is Alberta’s question.
Not Ottawa’s.
Not federal politicians’.
Not some managed national-unity script from people who helped create the anger in the first place.
