It’ll be another TACO moment.

It’s very odd that the folks who encourage “white pride” cuz the Greeks did stuff 3,000 years ago and their skin was a similar shade can’t explain how they are connected to that happening whatsoever. And if there’s no connection, how could they ever feel some sort of pride that it occurred?

Why should you feel pride for things done by fellow white-skinned people 3,000 years ago in a culture you have no attachment to? You’re not Greek, are you?

I suppose if you’re Greek or Roman, those would be things to be proud of as your heritage. Are you of Greek or Roman descent? If not, why would a white guy from Canada descended from Irish grandparents be proud of these things just because your skin is of a similar shade?

No, Canada is an exporter of electricity. Canada is typically a net exporter of electricity.Footnote 2 In 2023, net exports were 27.6 TWh, a 46% decrease from 51.3 TWh in 2022, mainly due to abnormally dry weather in 2023.Footnote 3 All electricity trade is with the U.S. and mostly occurs from the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and B.C. https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/data-analysis/energy-markets/provincial-territorial-energy-profiles/provincial-territorial-energy-profiles-canada.html

Are you people still on about this? When they invented lightbulbs and electric appliances, didn’t they upgrade the electrical grid at the same time? Did we lose the ability to upgrade in the last century or so? Were people just smarter then?

The federal government should pass a law making it illegal for provinces to hold referenda on independence.

Really? I think you’re projecting to avoid the questions. If responding to a post means I’m overly concerned, wouldn’t that hold true for every response to every post from everyone ? How did you measure my concern?

Tell me the legal basis for a province to separate from Canada. Hint: there isn’t one. I doubt this. I suspect a “stolen valour” situation. No one who loved their country acts like this.

Not for me, no. But I don’t think anyone, including the American the president, should be a racist. Do you think being a racist is the sign of strong moral character? I find it a deep character flaw myself.

There were 2500 delegates, mostly from Alberta. What kind of national convention is that? It’s weird. They pass anti-vax policy. I’m not sure how the rational Conservatives aren’t a bit embarrassed.

Do you think it was racist?

Then a majority mandate from the treaty areas, or the rest of Canada can keep it from separating. This is a pipe-dream. I know you hate the country, but it’s not going anywhere.

You brought them up! 😆

You bet. Those two words are the most important of all to weirdo conservatives who are obsessed with it. Two weirdos can disagree on everything else in your article, but mention trans people and they will go off for hours about how the trans are ruining the world. Their hatred of all things different makes their world go ‘round. When they lost the ability to bash the gays, it was devastating to their psyche. This is it. They’re losing their culture wars and it is devastating to them. They feel they don’t matter anymore, and it’s very hard on them.

It’s all the trans’ fault. It always comes down to this with these conservative weirdos. It used to be the gays, but now it’s an extreme position to blame the gays. So the trans are the new bogey-man.

Separate it how? Through use of force?

Not if you’re this weird in real life.

That’s why Canada would keep that territory.

They are Canadian jurisdiction and those lands will remain with Canada. Canada has the obligation to manage and enforce those treaties.

Unhinged amounts of off-topic spam by @Goddess Another one added to the blocked list.

Separatists in Alberta won’t say with whom they met. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/high-level-alberta-separatist-group-wont-confirm-which-members-of-trumps-administration-it-met-with/ Pressed by Kapelos on how some Canadians may find those actions problematic, Rath acknowledged he understands it could be “upsetting” to “people in Ontario and Quebec,” but emphasized that “Albertans are done.” “Quite frankly, the Trump administration shows Albertans far more respect than are shown to Albertans by the government in Ottawa,” Rath later added. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, meanwhile, recently weighed in on the separatist movement and called Alberta a “natural partner for the U.S.” I think this dishonesty and (dictionary definition) treasonous behaviour is likely to hurt their cause, so the more meetings with Trump’s stooges, the better.

Trump is useless, but negotiating a resolution is better than bloodshed. He won’t negotiate anything worthwhile, obviously. It’ll just be an agreement to say he did something, if there is one.

What job has Poilievre held in the private sector?

The question wasn’t whether Trudeau knew economics. The question was whether the separatist clowns were realistic, or even know how to assess, the economic consequences of an independent Alberta. They say they could cut taxes 20% on day #1. They don’t think there will be problems with currency, trade, or territory. They’re going to Washington to get foreign funding to break up the country and lying about who went and why. These people are grifters, or fools. They’re also traitors, by the dictionary definition, not the legal one.
