A simple question, March and Winsor:
What has Canada contributed to Alberta's success?
Is our province and city great because of the hard work of the people of Canada, as represtented by Ottawa, or the people of Alberta?
Flame On - That is one of the aspects of seperation that would need to be negotiated.#
Your hypothetical is extremely simplistic.# As much as you may wish it were so, this is not a fight because we are Conservative and they are Liberal.# This is a fight because we have no voice whatsoever at the federal level.# So long as a Western Republic ensured that the voices of all of it's citizens are fairly represented, then simply being Liberal minded in a Conservative country would not be the impetus for seperation.
Of course, the Klien PC's could make a strong statment in that direction by reforming the political electoral system as well...

How is simply being liberal minded enough? How is that different from not having your voices heard? If you were liberal minded in the new alberta and even in the current one, how is your voice ever heard? The answer I've had to that in the past here is to get out of Alberta if y ou don't like it. Which shows the lunacy of the seperatist whiners in my opinion.
What's this new Alberta going to do about a military too? That's a strong right wing core, a good military. A lot of the posters here would have to be drafted, which I would find hilarious! Have fun.

Why would we need a strong Military, Canada certainly dosen't have one. If we seperated and Canada decided to invade us, we could probably fight them off with a dozen slingshots and a biplane.
|
But why bother with the biplanes and slingshots? We all know how the US likes to protect its oil interests.....anyone remember Kuwait?
This is a kind of silly topic though. What would you name the country if it happened? Especially if BC was to join?
Alumbia? British Berta? [/b][/quote]
Cascadia?
