@Howejoe12 @EdwardP07162937 @JohnAMa90589614 @Sir_Aime Discounting the sacrifice of Canadian men and women doesn't gain you much support Mr. @Howejoe12

@Howejoe12 @EdwardP07162937 @JohnAMa90589614 @Sir_Aime Or do we risk crawling back to the British without having attempted independence?

[D'arcy Mcgee @DarcyMcKool]

@EdwardP07162937 @Howejoe12 @JohnAMa90589614 @Sir_Aime Did we not fend off the invasions of the Americans during 1812? Have we not protected ourselves thusly so far in our history?

@EdwardP07162937 @Howejoe12 @JohnAMa90589614 @Sir_Aime Who is getting sacrificed? The people who would have to live in poverty because they lack employment today? That would be the only sacrifice if we do not move forward in confederation!

@EdwardP07162937 The railway is designed to make money, yes it costs money to do anything, but in the end, this railway will make money, jobs, and opportunity.

@Sir_Aime @JohnAMa90589614 How unrelatable to everyone else ever

[D'arcy Mcgee @DarcyMcKool]

@Sir_Aime @JohnAMa90589614 This closed mindedness is what will bury this country. The divides amongst us are running rampent with statements like this from @Sir_Aime . Now is the time to unite not create deeper divides!

[D'arcy Mcgee @DarcyMcKool]

@Howejoe12 If Canada unites and we develop a railway from coast to coast that allows us to provide resources for ourselves. This developement also allows us to defend ourselves further along the continent.

[D'arcy Mcgee @DarcyMcKool]

@Sir_Aime But what were to happen if the Fenians revolted and attempted to take over? Would Britain just hand us over in exchange for Ireland? And how would we defend ourself from the west if we are not a united country?

[D'arcy Mcgee @DarcyMcKool]

Joining Upper and Lower Canada allows the country to be united culturally! No longer will there be a divide rifting the two colonies, after confederation, we will all be able to work together towards becoming a greater nation!

[D'arcy Mcgee @DarcyMcKool]

@Sir_Aime @TheRealQueenVic Putting the power in the federal government is giving power to the people. These will no longer be appointed officials oppressing the populous, these will be people by the people, and for the people!

[D'arcy Mcgee @DarcyMcKool]

It's becoming apparently obvious that the Canadas must unite as a country under one flag, separate from our Southern American neighbors, to do this we must stand up against the Fenian extremists by all means, and build a railway West to unite us Sea to Sea!

[D'arcy Mcgee @DarcyMcKool]

With confederation, our country can move forward as one union united under a flag. This would allow us to move forward in the grace of economic prosperity as well as the ability to defend ourselves in the west. If we continue in division we can only be weak.

@TheRealQueenVic @Sir_Aime My good sir @Sir_Aime just got slimed by who he wants to stay with. #sorrynotsorry

Confederation is the only way to move forward, it will over all better Canada's defences as we greatly fear an invasion from the miss placed fenians + the Americans. As well as it will better our economy because it will allow us to reciprocity. #Conferderation #makeCanadagreat

[D'arcy Mcgee @DarcyMcKool]

@Howejoe12 The people clearly want confederation, people don't start rebellions for no reason. #Howebootdat

[D'arcy Mcgee @DarcyMcKool]

The economy and future prosperity of Canada hinge upon a united nation and to do this we must build a railway from the eastern Maritimes to the rocky mountains of the west! #Unite #McKool

[D'arcy Mcgee @DarcyMcKool]

@Sir_Aime @TheRealQueenVic Yes, everyone wants the power in a country across an entire ocean and not those that they elect. C'mon Tonie give ur head a shake!

[D'arcy Mcgee @DarcyMcKool]

@EdwardP07162937 That's literally just wrong and doesn't make sense.
