@FreyaloggingInc Yes. Our people include much of north/central BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. In a just world we’d have our own nation.

[Tim Moen @moen_tim]

We are a distinct people with our own culture and values.

In Alberta news, some crazy fucker breaks a world record driving off our local waterfall. Shout out to Dusty Friesen and his boat named Dent.

@TheBreakdownAB What is the correct pathway to separation? Is there one? Should there be, or nah?

@jordanovweb3 I guess PEDs don’t work. I wonder why they were banned?

@FLY0VER_C0UNTRY @ComicDaveSmith @liquid2ulu @Bl00dOld Yeah he’s awesome. He’s an objectivist ergo a minarchist. Theres a deep cut somewhere of @JulieBorowski using the same Socratic questioning on him about the validity of government and driving him nuts, lol.

@kinsellawarren Crypto-separatist? Hell yeah! I hope you’re right.

[Tim Moen @moen_tim]

I highly doubt it. Federalist lawyers will argue that it amounts to “Canada, boo” and that it doesn’t clearly articulate the desire to be a separate state. In the unlikely event separatists win the referendum this will be tied up for years in court challenges effectively neutering the movement. I think this is a move to do just that. UCP can claim they gave separatists their day while simultaneously neutering them and shutting Lucaszuk up at the same time. But I’m no lawyer. Just an amateur opining on the internet🤷🏻‍♂️

By my interpretation tha Lukasik question fails to meet the requirements of the Clarity Act on 2 grounds: 1) it’s not a clear question on secession but rather on remaining, 2) it doesn’t express a will to become an independent state.

Putting his question to a referendum strikes me as a deft move to crush the independence movement and Lukasik simultaneously.

[Tim Moen @moen_tim]

My admittedly amateur understanding is that the all party committee considering this petition meets the requirements of previous legislation, no?

Either way my point stands that if you’re a federalist who despises separatists it seems to me you’d want Lukaszuks question to go to a referendum. Separatists won’t win and even if they do the question won’t clear the Clarity Act. The debates and court challenges will keep separatists neutered for years. Glubish hates separatists (I’ve met him a number of times) which is why I suspect he’s pushing for a referendum on this specific question.

@jkenney My wife wanted to secede from our marriage once citing “abuse”. I vetoed her.

[Tim Moen @moen_tim]

@LairdOverbrook @TheBreakdownAB I’m confused. This seems pretty black and white.

[Tim Moen @moen_tim]

AHS EMS rebrands to Alta Paramedic Health. They can fix your gas service or do CPR. Embarrassing. At least they don’t have a hammer and sickle, although that would be more honest…

@gator_gum If you don’t like me sitting in your house with my feet up, helping myself to your food and slapping your wife on the ass you’re free to leave. <— that’s how you sound.

@TheBreakdownAB @SamBlackettAB @gerwingtim I’ve seen people disgusted by pedophilia dancing to Michael Jackson and people who hate domestic violence dance to Chris Brown. Most people don’t consider the private sins or dipshittery of the artist when they hear a good jam with a message they vibe with.

@ItsDeanBlundell If only there was a way to find out for real…

[Tim Moen @moen_tim]

@sjredmond It’s a great point. Once Alberta is independent we can more realistically end the freeloading and if necessary support Woodbuffalo independence. One step at a time…

[Tim Moen @moen_tim]

@dash_eats I was worried I wasn’t smart enough to care.
