@nailedvision@TheophanesRex@sciohn_fhanne USA has better weather. Better connectivity. More cultural , recreational, and activity based experiences. USA also has a defined concept of their own culture and values(cue patriotism). There isn’t much in Canada, lifestyle-wise, to attract top-drawer immigrants.
@cspotweet Chiefs are panicking.
When referendum data is calculated, it has possibility of showing people of the reserves don’t support the chiefs’ stance.
When you look at detailed election data it breaks each polling booth down to neighbourhood.
Referendum could be chiefs’ last stand.
@TheophanesRex@HoCStaffer “saying that he was working for uplifting the Indigenous people because “Indigenous participation and engagement is key to economic growth in Canada”
There was a program that existed around that time trying to get FN people into trades. I did some work for the program. (Cont)
@DrJStrategy 🇨🇦 is 15+ years into this problem, but it became obvious in 2017.
The “real world” was screaming incoming economic disaster, long before the spreadsheet crowd had an inkling things were going pear-shaped.
Do politicians have any clue as to what keeps an economy functioning ?
@JudyMaxB@SheilaGunnReid@LizLatcherie 85-89% of products from Alberta are exported to the USA.
The international trading community will support and recognize an independent Alberta.
@peteremcc@Tony__Clark Years ago, there were healthcare premiums that individuals paid in Alberta. I imagine that kept misuse in check. Once the premiums were eliminated, there was no renewal system.
@CarrieG72160643@cspotweet It’s the schools that did it.
It’s the teachers, and their ideology, that created a pro-independence, anti-Left generation.
Parents didn’t have to do a thing.
The ideologues in the school did all the work.
Magic.
BREAKING 🚨
Premier Smith says "transition costs for an independent Alberta could be as much as $400 billion."
2 studies have already been done. The London School of Economics says…
"In the Canada-Quebec case, cost estimates of institutional restructuring ranged from .40% to 1% of GDP."

The Scotland independence debate is the most thoroughly researched modern case of a wealthy, developed region contemplating separation from a larger federation.
Professor Patrick Dunleavy of the LSE concluded that Scotland's voters could be relatively sure that total transition costs over a decade would lie in a restricted range, from 0.4% of GDP up to a maximum of 1.1%.

Alberta's GDP is approximately $473.9 billion CAD (2024). Applying the research range directly:
0.4% of GDP = $1.9 Billion
1.0% of GDP = $4.7 Billion
1.1% of GDP = $5.2 Billion
@ABDanielleSmith is fibbing again!!
@S_19931993@boehmerB@itsTim_eh Possibly we are more similar than different.
Perhaps that’s why the Feds try to pit AB & QC against each other.
In collaboration, AB & QC could be powerful.
Run a national independence party federally, with focus on each province represented seeking independence.

@MKennedy2050@DrJStrategy (Cont)& algorithms buried exposure
If @MarkJCarney wants to increase GDP/capita,he needs to lower entrepreneurial risk,while increasing exposure.
Incubator system.
Until that happens,a lot of entrepreneurs are spending their day walking the dog,instead of building businesses.
@MKennedy2050@DrJStrategy (Cont)As they are serial creators, they know the red flags. Red flags have been waving since 2017. That’s when the small business/start up demographic started pulling businesses and projects. New projects sat on the shelf.
Increased crime caused declining foot traffic (cont)
@TheophanesRex@TheTorontoSun@HunterTOSun@TheophanesRex you might be interested in the latest Tucker Carlson podcast, discussing the trucker industry. They dig into links with India, criminal business practices, etc. You might find it interesting.
