WATCH: Prime Minister @MarkJCarney on Alberta separation.
“We are literally at 10 years anniversary of BREXIT, and I saw, first hand, what gets sold in these referenda. That everything is going to be easy. That you can keep your passport. You can keep the currency. You can stay in the country and leave it at the same time.”
Canada's "exit tax" is a deemed disposition that triggers tax on unrealized capital gains, along with a re-basing of the asset values. USA does the same thing.
Without this deemed disposition, there'd be a mile-wide tax loophole of changing your residency to re-base tax-free.
* China is a strategic threat but also a strategic partner
* We're pivoting away from the US but helping to make it great again
* We're part of the New World Order
* 51st state is bad, but 28th EU country is good
* Palestine is sovereign but not Alberta
It is frankly embarrassing that a sitting U.S. Vice President is unaware of one of the most elementary facts of World War II. Nazi Germany did not negotiate an end to World War II. The war in Europe ended with Germany’s unconditional surrender after total military defeat and the collapse of the regime in May 1945.
Yeahz we're fine with that in Canada, thanks. I'd have done the same thing if my girlfriend was performing at the open ceremony. What kind of man wouldn't?
He's retired. Leave him alone. Nobody gives a fuck. You do this for clicks.
The European mind understands it perfectly. This is what imperial decadence looks like: public institutions converted into branded spectacle, civic memory replaced by adrenaline theater, and the People’s House turned into a content backdrop for regime propaganda.
The joke is not that Europe cannot comprehend it. The joke is that America no longer recognizes what it is becoming.
The Hunter Biden laptop story was almost certainly the product of a Russian disinformation campaign, but no podcaster or conservative will ever entertain a serious conversation about it because they allergic to researching actual conspiracies. :)
Question for the 6% of Albertans who want us to become a US resource colony: why not just go there and make a refugee claim?
You’ll be hosted in a lovely ICE detention facility while the Trump Administration determines whether you really are being oppressed in Canada by the “globalist deep state,” or whatever.
Oh cool, I see we casually have an "enemies of the administration" list for people in the media now, hosted using my taxpayer money on the White House website.
Looking forward to all of the libertarian and "free speech" types to take a strong position on this!
@dpakman, @EdKrassen and @briantylercohen are the first three listed.
