Ralph Klein has big cajones he thinks.

Ah christ... Not this again... King ralph's mentioned - but he had nothing to do with the article (at least that I read).

But c'mon we're supposed to be happy again... After almost a decade without, we suddenly have full 'representation' in the senate again. :rolleyes: Even if That bustling hub known as New Brunswick has 2 more senators than we do... With a total population less than calgary or edmonton. Western alienation - yeah, that's a figment of our imagination.

Ralph has been good to me personally. (Pine Lake) :mrgreen:

Stuff llike this bothers me:

Quote:

We could establish our own laws to deal with crime and punishment, and our own separate relationship with the Americans.
What exactly does that mean? :confused:

I guess I'm a non-separatist at heart.

It is. Try living in a maritime province where all you get from the government is promises, promises. While a couple of provinces who seem to have things figured out in today's economy and politics (Alberta, Quebec) still get more attention than is deserved because they are somehow more "distinct" than other parts of the country. Bull!

What irks me most is that many Albertans forget where they came from and that most of the funding for the exploration and development of the province came from eastern parts of the country. Now they want to get while the getting is good. I consider that very disrespectful.

King Ralph! :mrgreen:

yea, we have quite the disproportionate government with odd ways of spending money.

never without BC !!!


:eek:

imagine having to go thru customs every time we headed west for a visit...

And the maritimes provinces, so that it's still easy to get lobsters and such.

And the other prairie provinces, because we still need the lakes and farms and other stuff.

And Ontario, because I have some friends over there. Ditto for Quebec.

And all the northern territories, just because they're -cool-. Baffin Island, come on!

There -- there's my perfect secession plan. :mrgreen:

I like that plan :)
