No one has explained that worth ####. It doesn't even make sense.
MAID wasn't even a federal decision. It was a supreme court decision. Once again your entire point encompasses that you do not want Alberta to make decisions for itself. I get it, you seem to strongly dislike where you live. But wow is that a wild logic to throw away your communities managing themselves.

Because once there are new trade barriers in every direction, profits will drop, companies will leave, labour will be in excess, incomes will fall relative to benchmarks (probably not in reality, we just won't keep pace with OECD wage inflation). This isn't really theoretical, it's well documented in Quebec and the UK.
And as you already know many have already explained this to you many times.
