@Tablesalt13 Wait, you mean if Republicans lose the midterms it’s Canada’s fault? WOW! I did not realize we have that much sway. I guess there is something trumpy does want from us. He’s such a victim
@EricLDaugh You do know the ONLY nation that has ever received defense support under NATO article 5 was the USA after 9/11, Right? Right? And that the invasion of Iran was an attack by the USA not a defense from an attack, right? Right?
@unacceptfringe Nothing communist about it. Termination during probation periods are pretty much at employer’s discretion. I guess they felt your wife’s values didn’t align with theirs. It was their freedom to choose to separate from your wife’s employment. Ironic, huh?
@YukonStrong Stupidest thing I’ve read today. 1 it’s a municipal issue not federal or provincial. 2 It’s a private business making a private business decision, not political. Are you “live free” types arguing for government intervention in private business decisions now? It’s hard to keep up
@Monica55dzrh Going to show my age. On Bewitched there was a nosy neighbour called Gladys. Always sticking her nose in where it didn’t belong. Gladys is back.
@pastoratyyc@AutonomyJenny Well that’s a silly statement. If AB leaves Canada the people you disagree with here, those that want to stay, you know the other Albertans, will still be here. Freedom for some Albertans might not be perceived that way by other Albertans.
@Martyupnorth Ok so in your simplified world what are the transition costs? You challenge the $400b. Fair enough. It’s also not $0. So what is number you think it will take to stand up the new republic?
@CalgaryDave “the average Albertan suffers from a tyranny they can't escape.” Um no. It’s called emigration and it’s available to all just like your ancestors did. Perhaps there is a country that would welcome “your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses”
@Reil76 For her goal, I think this was a way to thread the needle. But her separatist allies are pissed because she didn’t agree to their separation question (I waaant it! Stomp my foot!). Should the “non-binding” referendum pass then we will be in at least 2 years of political chaos.
@LivinTheFringe I believe the number that want to separate who have not educated themselves on the costs, real challenges and risks is much higher than those who have considered those barriers and realized that going it alone will be worse off.
