Crimea was part of Ukraine. A separate sovereign country. It does not belong to Russia. Cold Lake and the surrounding areas are in AB but are a part of Canada. It is not the same thing. You want the house, the car, and the kids in this divorce.
-
What the hell are you talking about?? Russia took over a sovereign state. Cold Lake is a Canadian military base in Canada which AB is currently a part of. If AB separates, the province of AB will not remain as it currently is. It was already outlined in the Clarity Act. It is in the best interest that Canada maintains its strategic defense by having Cold Lake surrounding area remain part of Canada.
-
I highly doubt DND will let go of their bases that they think are important to them. But whatever.
-
No. Cold Lake will remain. As that is a strategic position. It serves as a base for up north to artic regions. Passage way from west coast to east coast. The Federal government would not bend over backwards to change Department of National Defence operations to satisfy AB wishes.
-
So if the Feds appropriated lands north of Edmonton (aka Cold Lake) and south close to the US border, wouldn't that constitute as Canada airspace?
-
To add on Warhippy post above... It includes all the existing military bases in Alberta. Those are Federal as well.
-
Already top 5 in defenceman scoring. Should be a lock for the Calder.

But that first could have been the next McDavid. -
Pretty sure that won't be the case. When Quebec wanted to separate, the Clarity Act outlined separation process. Canada will take back everything the is considered Federal Government property. Cold Lake is a military base. Edmonton garrison base is also Federally owned. Alberta will have to pay Canada to get that piece back. Not to mention all the First Nations that may want to remain Canadians. It will not be as easy as you think.

Have fun with Natural Disasters. You won't have the army or firefighters from other provinces to help New Albertastan.

Green has been here for 3 years. I think JB will replace him if Canucks miss the playoffs.

Probably not. Excuse will be that they lost their starting (Vezina trophy candidate) goalie down the stretch. Pray for Marky speedy return. -

Of course it's Aquilini. Making the playoffs = $$ in his pockets not shared with the league. I think that's the disagreement with Linden and Benning. From what I understand, Linden wanted a patient long term (build through the draft) approach. JB said it could be fast tracked. Now he's here and Linden is gone. To be fair...JB is right. The team was on track (and still is) to make the playoffs. -

Plain to see we need an upgrade on D. Stecher, Benn, and Fantenberg ain't going to cut it. While we at it...get rid of LE, Sutter, and Roussel. Really missing Beagle on the 4th line and PK. Missing Marky more. -

Still in the Wild Card spot which is what I predicted at the beginning of the season. Canucks needs to get some breaks.
