@WBrettWilson@avilewis I wonder, does playing stupid too long make you that thing? Of course Lewis never said these things and in no universe is Lewis a boss to Nenshi. I'm not an NDPer or pro ir anti oil extension, I'm anti-slop. This is slop.
@echipiuk As you know, no court was ever asked to rule specifically on "illegal occupation" as a label. But it's a fair, logically supported description given the mischief convictions of Lich and Barber, and the pending $300M class action premised on unlawful conduct during the occupation.
@Zerquetch@The_Elite_Lib Free country. By all standards. Unless you've been abducted you've chosen slavery. If you think individual freedom would be greater in an imagined republic, you haven't been paying attention.
Or you're a bot that has become conscious & realized you are just following a program.
@miss_tanyac Interesting piece of sane washing - ignores a few things.
First, what it means to be a real citizen - not a "what have you done for me lately" type, but a positive contributor.
It also ignores the irrefutable ignorance reflected in a lot of the separatist rhetoric.
And much more.
@CoryBMorgan And, at the same time, it would be even dumber to have a referendum to have a referendum few want.
An actual separation referendum would resolve nothing. The perpetually aggrieved will not take the rejection & suddenly love & believe in Canada.
Also, Brexit was a release valve.
@TheBreakdownAB If intellectually functional Albertans don't vote... stupid wins.
Great example that directly to the south. It would, arguably, be much worse here.
It may take a decade or two, and it's not certain, but the US could mostly recover. The damage here would more likely be permanent.
@echipiuk@SKivimaa LOL. We'd easily pay for it from gen revenue. It's a choice & makes sense. Making the cost a bit more voluntary. The alternative is entirely from general revenue. The poor pay more.
Unless your gaslighting is meant to go all the way & suggest elected officials pay for it. LOL
@larrythefurry@Jason___YYC Pierre may be spot on in private or in his own mind but his public statements are baseless nonesense pandering to the mindless nonsensical.
@Jason___YYC I talked to a person today (myself) who told me; Poilievre is one of the biggest morons in the world - with the longest consecutive moronic streak of any living moron.
Let that sink in.
The longest consecutive moronic streak. The longest.
@EdenHar36652477 I'm glad you see it as your last chance. Please emphasize this. If it fails all separatists need to do the right thing: become positive contributors, else suck it up, or leave.
@Gerry39464526 Sounds well thought out. Who could argue with the weight thing. It's well understood that someone carrying extra pounds can't lead. Science.
(sarcasm!)
@McAllisterBruce@globalnews No. Not like that at all.
There's a substantial difference between a leaning media outlet speaking to it's following and the government of a province charged (by itself) with holding a referendum bound by the normal rules of "free and fair."
Did you guys know that Calgary and Edmonton send equalization payments to the rural towns in Alberta?
Jeromy Farkas is making this a great argument.
No more equalization payments to Caroline, Alberta.
Why should my property taxes pay for Caroline to have health services?
@Beeman1972@echipiuk Amen brother! I hate globalists, we don't live on a globe. The earth is flat. These jerks know it, but they put on the act just to keep us under their thumbs so they can harvest our organs.
@CurtySanchez420@echipiuk Likewise, anyone that believes the earth is round or that gravity is natural is a dirty stupid murderous heathen... obviously.
