Dear Albertan Separatists,
Leaving Canada means losing immediately:
• Constitutional access to Canada’s internal market
• All trade deals (USMCA, EU, Asia: treaties don’t carry over)
• Bank of Canada backstop → higher interest rates
• Federal health, infrastructure, disaster & EI stabilization funding. (No maternity leave benefits, EI, sick benefits, ect)
• Charter mobility rights → You don’t have the right to move around Canada freely: borders, visas, work permits
• Defence, intelligence, protection (billions to replace)
• Legal & regulatory certainty markets require.
• Automatic continuity of Indigenous treaties (nation-to-nation with the Crown, UN ect)
Who benefits from selling this fantasy?
Outrage politicians. Media grifters. Click farmers. Foreign disinfo networks.
Independence doesn’t remove risk.
It concentrates it.
Now answer this. Trade deals take years to finalize. Does Danielle Smith have one, even one trade agreement lined up?
After 12 years of loyal service my @Razer keyboard has finally died. 😥 That keyboard has been with me basically my entire adulthood. You fought many battles but in the end a @CocaCola Zero that took your life. Rest in Peace.
Heartbreaking news that @CHATTelevision in Medicine Hat has officially shut down. Where are young reporters going to get a start when every small market station is closing.
I feel for the 16 employees who are now looking for a new job in a shrinking field.
Young Play-by-Play broadcasters if you have a Color Commentator:
- They are your lifeline!
- If it's late in the game and you blew through your prep, refresh the "game story."
- Find different ways to tee them up to reiterate points you want to make, then cap it with a stat.
