I follow sensible people.
I welcome debate, but I block rude & abusive folks.
Proud conservative from Amazing Alberta, the battered spouse of confederarion.
I used to be a federalist.
I used to believe in Canada.
I love what Canada once was.
On the wall in my office is my Canadian Armed Forces Officer Commissioning Scroll, and a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
But the Canada of today is not the Canada I grew up in. It is no longer the nation I stood up for.
Canadians rights have been disregarded. Democracy has become just a byword, not what citizens can expect and aspire to without a fight. Ideology has replaced equality and justice. Families are under attack.
Over the past year I have examined the facts. I stepped back to self examine my own biases. I looked behind the curtain of the Canadian government press releases and media "reporting".
What I found was a broken nation, its heart and soul gone, its character reduced to identity politics and forced unequal wealth redistribution. Scandals. Dishonesty. Empathetic suicide. Self destructive economic policies.
In my recent advocacy for an Alberta referendum to give everyone a voice, I have been slandered, attacked, threatened, and received such vulgar responses from federalists that it is truly shocking and heartbreaking. But seeing how far Canada has fallen, it is not surprising. It validates the point that the Canadian experiment has failed.
Today my Canadian Armed Forces Officer Commissioning Scroll, and a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are still on my office wall as a historical record.
Today I support Alberta Independence.
Today I grieve a lost and destroyed Canada.
I miss what Canada once was, but it is time to dust ourselves off, stand up again, and move forward.
On October 19th, vote for a brighter future. Vote for Option 2.
@CanadianModera1 Alberta sovereigntists, by and large, don't much care which party is in power in Ottawa.
Whether liberal or conservative, we're still a resource colony.
@SilentSnow89 I love how the left blames Healthcare woes on the UCP. Alberta has the best Healthcare in Canada - if this is a UCP problem, why is the system way worse in leftwing provinces?
Alberta should separate and keep the money we now send to Ottawa, and gain control of our immigration.
Canadians aim for the middle and are satisfied even when the results are nowhere near that high.
Albertans aim high and are never satisfied even after they have exceeded it.
That's why Albertans thrive and Canadians don't.

@Mellyfax This is the typical language of an abuser.
You'd have likely shared similar sentiments during abolition - how dare those uppity slaves want emancipation without considering the economic impact it would have on their masters!!
We're tired of being your resource colony. No more.
@nandouglas Sounds like you're joining the Alberta sovereignty team! When we're not spending all of our money supporting the eastern welfare bums, we can afford better care.
Or, maybe you're anti-separatist and therefore pro private health care?
