Alberta separatists are easily manipulated, whiny losers who only understand an ego-centrist level of national politics and are completely (and most of the time wilfully) ignorant on a global scale.
It is not OK to rob our future generations with your radical fringe opinions. Not that you could anyways, as there are enough sane people in this province and country to keep your half-witted ideas on the fringes, where they belong.
Not only is what you believe destructive and harmful in a general sense, it is locally, globally, and historically dangerous to Albertans, Canadians and the world.
Separatists also have no idea the absolute horror show and pain that separation would cause the lives of Albertans. If you think we would take all of Alberta with us, you are delusional. How do you think trade with Canada will go after leaving the federation? Being a landlocked country would handicap our import/export options. Multi-national investments would drop off due to instability of a new (and likely wildly incompetent UCP) federal government. Our passports as a new country would be useless, requiring visas everywhere we go. If you think life would be better under an American regime (especially a Trump-led USA), you are dangerously wrong there as well. We would essentially become Puerto Rico north. All of these separation ideas are half-baked and contain high doses of food poisoning. It would not end well.
Alberta would go from being around the 10th largest country economy to landing around 45th after separation, comparable to countries like Peru, or Chile. That economy would be heavily dependant on a single resource extraction and the global pricing of that commodity.
We would have to establish our own currency which would be directly impacted by the price of oil, weakening the buying power of everyone overnight. Weaker buying power = higher costs, and even less access to global markets.
Everything the federal government currently manages would suddenly fall on Alberta's shoulders. The inept provincial government would suddenly be a federal government. What a shit show that would be. Seriously.
And all because what? You believe the Canadian federal government hates you like Danielle Smith is telling you? Well it's certainly convenient that she has the feds to blame when she is trying to cover up the blatant health care corruption scandal she doesn't want us to look at. On one hand she keeps demanding we build a pipeline through BC and on the other she's propping up the extremist base that doesn't want to be in the country anymore, what a negotiating tactic.
And with all this separation and division talk comes the uncertainty in international markets causing severe doubt in current or future investments from any corporate interests in the province, further exacerbating the economic outlook issues we are already experiencing from the damn orange fuhrer in the US. The whole separation idea in the first place is very likely an American psy-op to destabilize the country so they can annex eventually.
By the way, Stephen Harper and Jason Kenney helped write the damn amendment to the equalization schedule that you morons are so up in arms about anyways. As far as I can see, conservatives are their own worst enemy. Believe what you want just don't make it my problem or deny my child his future for your immature and idiotic schemes.
Thankfully we put an adult in charge that has demonstrated experience in the exact mandate he was elected on, guiding a nation through an incredibly turbulent economic uncertainty.
Many would have voted for Carney whether he ran liberal or conservative and he could have ran either. Although the vote was as much for him as it was to not to send a lifelong libertarian to go south and bend the knee to Trump for three more years, dismantling our nation to the most economically destructive government the world has seen since WW2.
But tell me again how you voted tribal you absolute ignoramus ass hats. Get a grip.
