@coreyhoganyyc This is only due to Canada’s historical policy of real estate speculation meaning some Canadians have a lot of real estate wealth. Why don’t you plot median income and see
@Mellyfax@CPC_HQ I miss the old liberal party too. Given the latter has been in power for 11 years, the former is likely just the reaction to the policies of the latter.
I miss the Canadian centrism, practicality, and pragmatism we used to have
@gilmcgowan So if 51% of the population voted to leave confederation, 58% of the population would physically leave?
Sounds like the popular vote is pretty safe here for AB to stay. Maybe you can all just relax a bit about this
@HunterBiden Dude, you are literally the poster child for nepotism in government. Saying the trumps are worse doesn’t make it better, just means the dems and GOP are both corrupt (which we all know), please delete your account.
@jengerson Alberta by virtue of equalization and unequal representation literally is a resource colony in Canada.
How about instead of separation, other provinces just take better care of themselves. Instead of putting the hat out, Manitoba and Quebec could build hydro and sell to the US?
@funtomvids Federal governments should never have to build housing in a democracy. Housing should be built by the market aided by good policy decisions
If the federal government builds housing, then we have a planned economy like the former Soviet Union (they built a lot of houses!!!)
@ItsDeanBlundell You know that you put the period at the end of a sentence, not after words in the sentence (but then skip one of them).
But you are right, everything is fine. Try taking the growth from Alberta out of this total and see how the rest of the country is doing. It’s not good.
@coreyhoganyyc Your party is in power, with a majority last time I checked (for 11+ years). You specifically can offer Alberta a more reasonable deal (not take federally twice what you give back would be a start) but short of that just don’t go scorched earth on industry for a decade.
@mario_canseco Yes, thats it. It’s not the lack of economic drive in the province, the fact that the one City accounts for 61% of the pop. and its major industry for two decades was literally real estate speculation, it’s not judges actively trying to give the province away. No it’s Trump.
@JasonOnTheDrums Well she specifically stated publicly that it was her position that Alberta not separate so there is that.
Also, the premier of Manitoba should love Canada given it subsidizes them pretty heavily with a gap growing wider 😉
@NC7983@ExStellaPulvis@robertsepehr@Greene_Thoughts@BreitbartNews Your original argument was that “women and no-whites” should get more opportunities (compared with white men). By definition, you are arguing against meritocracy and competition and that these groups need special treatment to succeed (which by the way they don’t)
@jec79 Comparing Brexit to possible AB separation is disingenuous and just factually incorrect. Not for separation but compare economic performance of the big 3 euro countries since 2020 and the UK is clearly the winner. It’s not great by any stretch but the alternative is worse.
@tylermeredith@MarkJCarney What are the PMs public sentiments on past and possible referendums for Quebec? Are those also distracting, deceitful bluffs? Why not paint these with the same brush? It’s so easy to criticize Alberta, why not say the same about Quebec?
