The DumbBrexit / #Wexit thread

In a poll commissioned by the Western Standard of 1,100 Albertans, it was found that up to 48 per cent of Albertans would consider voting “yes” for Alberta independence in a referendum. This is an unprecedented level of support for independence, and there is no sign that it will be going away.

 

@Jimmy McGill

I see Kenney is refusing to release the report studying Alberta's place in/out of Canada. I do think he is on a short leash and Wexit will challenge him next election. I see the LPC and the NDP combined to keep Parliament shutdown. This country hits new lows everyday that JT is in power. While these politicians sit in their basements the working people of this country go to work.

You mean the dude that moved to BC that got his vehicle keyed right?

Maybe not some much an act of anger towards Alberta but towards people that are travelling right now?

 

Still, very lame and a criminal act.

 

That's the funniest part is he lives in BC. According to warhippy this has happened a few times because he said this before the story came out. BC has not closed it's borders so people are free to travel there. What's even worse is BC is one of the provinces Alberta donated medical supplies to..

For some reason Canada just won't let us leave I wonder why that is. I'm guessing guys like you don't want to pay a 12% gst.

Yes he is and it's very frustrating. 

Keeping the HOC closed is odd and now the bloc slammed the government for it.

Even the PBO has said all this spending and extra powers to the government without parliament oversight is concerning.

@Jimmy McGill

not surprising to me at all. I'd guess the hard core separation folks are somewhere in the 20%'s and the rest want to create their own version of the Bloc. Albertans are obsessed with Quebec so I could see a majority voting for a Bloc-style separation party thinking they'd get what they see as similar preferential treatment to Quebec.

he doesn't need it as a distraction / anger generation tool at the moment. It would be a waste of effort to put it out now.

 

Notley said the panel was never on an earnest fact-finding mission, but rather served as a shiny bauble for Kenney to deflect attention.

“The panel and the report is mostly a political tool that Jason Kenney put into play… to try to distract people’s frustration and anger from the fact that he was not actually creating jobs,” she said.

“He was losing jobs well before the pandemic.”

Notley is a moron. He did what Albertans wanted, which is unusual for politicians, especially him.

Imo he isn't releasing it because he wants help from Ottawa which won't happen. 

He should release it immediately.

Obsessed with the welfare state of Quebec. 

I guess it's similar to the Trump obsession on CDC?

But Alberta has been helped. Did you already forget about the billions for abandoned wells? TMX? 

 

Kenney's newest anger flag is going to be delayed until he needs to whip it up again. But... I suppose it could get leaked as well, I can imagine some on that panel not being very pleased with Kenney.

The abandoned well money was nice but it wasn't what the industry needed. That was more of a move to get green votes. TMX wasn't a favour to Alberta, you guys, especially you need to stop saying that. Private investors finally walked away from the project and that hurt investment in Canada as many see Canada as a waste of time.

 

Of course some aren't pleased..his catering to Ottawa is unacceptable.

You think you're going to get a straight forward answer from a province with 40+ years of hardcore denial and myth building?

[Ryan Strome]

@Jimmy McGill given Trudeau is spending like oil patch workers on their week off and has a 20 point lead why not prepare a loan guarantee package for the industry? Even restart energy east, with private investors and provincial ownership?

 

Nobody wants to be PM when a province calls for a referendum which Kenney may be forced to do even though he opposes it.

 

The two modest things I proposed would probably have those on the fence change their minds.

[Ryan Strome]

@Jimmy McGill given we will have a 20 billion dollar deficit and still contribute the most in equalization this year people will be outraged. Add to that his gun grab, his policies against Alberta, never standing up for or even mentioning the oil industry and I think separation will be well over majority numbers.

I was watching the Suncor CEO a couple of weeks back, saying it was a good thing. He also stated that the industry didn't need a cash handout, it needs new market access. 

 

Which is what TMX is. 

 

Its funny to me that you guys never look to place blame anywhere but Ottawa. Ottawa didn't hire a Texan to dismantle Encana piece by piece.

and we're back to the root of the problem. You guys are so obsessed with Ottawa and Quebec you aren't thinking clearly.

I agree on EE, it should be a no-brainer.

Well he was driving in BC... Not sure what to tell you. Maroon-red Dodge Dakota, expired Alberta plates, green BC N sticker and speeding.

 

I didn't claim it made any sense, but you Albertans seldom do.

 

For the record, I didn't slash his tires or key him. Just let him drive in his merry way and stayed the &^@# away from him
