The price of most things will go up once they no longer have access to a sea port and have to fly everything in. Maybe they can work something out with us. We have lots of access to the sea.

Just read an acticle in the paper about how the U.S. feels that the Alberta oil sands provide them with a stable energy supply in the future.

So, the first thing you guys are going to want to do when you seperate is get yourselves a big ass army. So much for being out of debt.

You may want to watch for a newspaper headline in the near future that says something like,"U.S claims Alberta has WMD."

Oh... You didn't hear... It's supposed to be hush hush, but we trained all the cows to pass wind at the same time, resulting fireball will wipe saskatchewan or montana off the map - depends which way the wind is blowing

Just tell Bush that it was all a typo. We meant "Soil-sands" not "Oil-sands".

Either way, "Farmers, load up your cows!"

It's time to use our secret weapon, something Bush doesn't have in his arsenal, the "Bovine Repulsion/Anti-Invasion Nuke System" or BRAINS for short. First it smells them up, then it fries them up, then it confuses them.

On the more serious side, separation will never happen, just because Canadians may b!tch about Western alienation, but we're just too laid back/lazy to actually do anything about it. (JMO)

I dont see anything wrong with what is stated in that article ... there are 2 provinces ( Alberta & Ontario ) supporting 10 ... Quebec with all it's resources is a " have not provice " ? wtf is that all about ?

It is not a matter of anti-Canadianism but anti-Federalism where we are treated as second class citizens compared to those in the east.


That bologna about Eastern provinces putting Alberta where it is today is just that ... bologna ... They invested in Alberta and got rewarded quite nicely ( and still reaping those rewards )

Quote:
We could establish our own laws to deal with crime and punishment, and our own separate relationship with the Americans
Sounds to me like if you commit a crime in Alberta under the new system a criminal might actually get punished ... unlike the paid vacation hotels ( jails ) that they currently are housed in. Reading the paper today and even if they have the funds ( the criminal ) we will send them on a all expenses trip to whichever relative had a hangnail on the taxpayers dollar.

Heck ... here is a novel idea ... maybe if you break the law and get sent to jail you have to contribute to the cost of your upkeep while you are imprisoned ... why should society pay for you when you are the one that decided to break the law

Yup ... definately the criminal justice system could use a overhaul for starters.

Without large transfer payments we could invest more in our universities and educate our youth ... we could look after our senior citizens instead of the Liberal Government stealing our money and laundering it amongst their friends.

Yup ... lots of reasons that have nothing to do with being anti-Canadian but everything to do with making a better place for us to live. It would be a model for other provinces to emulate and if they want in on the Alberta advantage then we support them with guidance and goodwill.

So, before the barb wire fence goes up, do we former Albertans have a chance to move back?

If not, am I allowed to come visit my son in Red Deer?

Can I visit my brother in Calgary?

Can I still visit my uncle in Edson?

Do we need a passport?

Just read the article- had to get my $0.02 in! Articles like this bug me. I grew up in BC and AB and then spent the next 7 years living overseas and traveling to a lot of places with my job. I think sometimes we don't don't realize just how good we have it here.
