Conservatives Are Obstructionists And Shills for Trump – Kick them to the Curb
Political Editorial Opinion or “I Wish This Were Satirical, But…”
Prime Minister Carney. The Conservative Party of Canada, and Alberta’s provincial premier are all about fostering the hope that Alberta can somehow gain enough votes in a provincial referendum to force the Government of Canada to cave on issues that are only of interest to Albertans.
It’s an old ploy, used for ages in Quebec, in order to squeeze more concessions from Canada for their own self-interest, just as it has been, all my life, — and I’m almost 73 years old.
Wait until Canada is being attacked, and then like cowards, stab Canada in the back.
I say give them what they want, and when they find out that they have virtually no control over what will receive and/or what they will have to pay, this charade of political asininity will end.
And, IF, and that’s a huge IF, Quebec or Alberta do achieve a let’s commit economic suicide, or (in the case of Quebec) both cultural and economic suicide, where they vote in a referendum to secede from Canada, we Canadians, should commit to provide them with absolutely nothing. No use of the Canadian dollar, no ability to ship across international borders, no purchase of any of Alberta’s products (of all kinds) and no approvals for any pipelines. As well BC should tax the existing pipeline and any oil or gas or whatever, — just as America would and will should that ever transpire.
They would have to renegotiate everything with everyone outside Puerto Rico North or Haiti II, depending on which “shit hole” according to America’s Glowing Orange Mane ‘leader’ you then reside in.
Damn…We’re Stranded
A stranded asset like oil, that Alberta does not refine, and or will not be able to ship, will mean that Alberta will suffer substantively. And, should they decide to join the U.S., I can only imagine, with zero leverage, now that Agent Orange is stealing Venezuelan heavy crude (the same as Alberta’s), that they will pay anything for it to Alberta.
Herr Orange Mane will likely offer 10 cents on the dollar.
So, feel free. Join the U.S., become Puerto Rico North, and then watch labour and industry and capital tumble away faster than a pyroclastic flow.
Yes, there’s tourism, but when people have to pass through immigration and then acquire new passports to leave, whatever comes of entering Alberta, — it will amount to a tiny fraction of revenue compared to the big tar deposit north of Grand Prairie.
And that’s before the reality of Max Oil hits, which it has. In that case Ex-Premier Smith won’t even have realized it.
As for the cleanup of all those oil wells and the mess left?
Congratulations Alberta, it’s all yours.
The brain drain from Hospitals, Universities, think tanks, Government of Canada Offices, etc.etc.. Well, it just goes on, and on.
Sorry, no dual citizenship either.
For Canadians, once you’re out, you’re out.
No economic alliance either.
Ditto.
Then of course, the military will leave for Canada, close its bases, all personnel will then have to leave or revoke their Canadian citizenship, and every single agreement, trade rule and regulation, including export out of Alberta, through Canada ‘will’ have to be negotiated.
And, internal geographic separation, that includes Indigenous people’s (not to mention their treaty rights), or those in the North of Puerto Rico North, who are not ‘dead in the wool’, UCP shills for MAGA, (like NDP voters en masse, in Edmonton) will then separate as well and create a new corridor across Alberta, joining Saskatchewan or more likely, BC, which would enable trade to be maintained across Canada, still from coast to coast to coast.
The law of unintended consequences, in this case known as intended greedy consequences, will take a firm hold.
Alberta’s share of the national debt, Canada pension, etc., etc. would run into hundreds of billions of dollars.
In any event, it will probably be much easier for those who want out, to simply leave and emigrate to the U.S. where, as MAGGOTS, they will soon be experiencing all the love that the Disunited States of America can offer.
Yessirree Albertans, — Northern Wetbacks unite (as I was provided with that term of endearment by a California INS person at the Mexican border. It was such a wonderful comment, that I haven’t been back, ((and I’m a white guy with a WASP background)).
Such a welcome, such friendly American hospitality.
Oh the love. Thank You America.
Should Alberta choose to go, I say, Dog Speed and Bon Voyage.
(Maybe ensure you take all those Convoy dullards with you, — if you don’t mind.)
