@CdEntremontMP What you did is political treason, a kick in the face to everyone who voted for you. You didn’t cross the floor for conviction or principle; you did it for yourself. You betrayed your voters, your party, and the trust that put you in office. Disgraceful.
@ryangerritsen I had to pop up to Canada to renew a work permit last month. YYC US Customs was as busy as it ever was. Oh, and I had 90 minutes in line and didn't see a single person asked to show the officer their cell phone.
Can you tell me at least 5 reasons why Alberta is better off being a part of Canada vs Alberta joining the US. I can tell you some reasons why we would be better off being a part of the US:
- stronger currency
- stronger military
- better representation politically with their electoral college system (no Tyranny of Ontario and Quebec always deciding elections, California and New York don't drown out the voices of smaller states)
- not having our tax dollars siphoned to other provinces via equalization
- access to a bigger job market for remote work (50 other states)
- the US govt would help us get our oil and gas to foreign markets for a better world price, we could charge Canada higher for the oil and gas that comes back into Canada
- 1st amendment & 2nd amendment rights
- access to more investor capital in a better US economy
- ability to keep our low tax regime
Go ahead, tell me what Canada has to offer Alberta that is better than these
I presume you’re talking about me? That’s too bad, I watch your channel all the time and was a big fan until this unnecessary diss. It’s a shame when we allow ego and pride to cloud the judgement and cause us to feel resentment towards others, rather than happy for them. I’ll continue cheering you on from afar, and I worked my ass off to get that interview for 7 months before it was finally confirmed. We should really try to lift each other up more rather than tear people down and passive aggressively insult them because they “aren’t as popular as you”.
While I wish you all the best, and continued “more” success than me, I completely condemn this type of attitude and loathing towards another creator.
It's actually a brilliant diversion. Literally blow the Democrats mind so they don't focus on anything useful like coming up with a good candidate, platform, or things like that. In 2028 when @JDVance runs he will be running against a party that did nothing for 4 years except spin their wheels on "Trump bad"
