Alberta isn't leaving, lol.

Like Trump's rhetoric, it's the textbook deranged musings of a narcissist (if you don't do what I want, you'll be sorry!) both to get attention and try to control.

And like Trump's rhetoric, the possibility of Alberta separation only fools the exceptionally stupid.

I though Trump was going to chicken out like he always does. He didn't on the 35%, but he essentially did anyways since most trade is under the USMCA agreement he "authored" under his previous administration and thus exempt. He is all bark and no bite, just like traitor Danielle Smith and her minions.

Experience has shown me that narcissists aren't worth dealing with. Lots of Canadians agree with me, both in regards to US tariffs, and so-called 'western alienation'. Even people I know who live in Alberta.

We will and already have found new trade partners. New tourist destinations. Our economy stands to gain huge being separated from the USA where their interests are and have always been keeping us as a sustenance economy based primarily on resources.

Trump is a huge opportunity for Canada if they play it right. Already, we have freer trade within our national borders. More can be done and hopefully will. National projects for reliable energy can now started(and we now have the fast-track legislation in place) but don’t be surprised if they are stifled for green energy waste instead.

The reliable energy projects are things that Canadians unbelievably voted to avoid in the last decade and transferred billions in wealth to Middle Eastern countries and Russia instead of taking for ourselves in the foolish idea that it somehow was saving the world.

One thing I had not thought of until reading about it the other day is that with our free trade agreement with the US allowing most of our stuff to enter the US tariff-free, we now have a big advantage over other countries that have across-the-board tariffs, which may turn out to be a big economic win.

I remind people that the free trade agreement that is currently providing a massive economic benefit for this country is a huge lasting benefit brought to you by the conservatives 30 years ago and was literally opposed by the liberals and NDP in a near one subject election. That combined with the lower standard of living from the Liberals and NDP over the last decade are all you need to know as to why you want to always vote conservative(and thank your lucky stars that people did for Mulroney). The others are literally destructive to our standard of living, keeping most poor with minimal handouts and making up for it with fees and taxes such as massive GST gains on inflated prices.

They use their horrible insults like racist and bring up false issues like abortion to trigger you into a foolish vote.

Meanwhile, they say stupid things like TACO as an insult designed to piss off Trump who then decides that he will make sure not to give us tariff relief and we end up with more economic damage. These people are destructive to our standard of living. Meanwhile, we protect our economic hostage-takers by supporting the cartels that keep much of our food prices higher while sacrificing other industries to protect that.

And remember, just the GDP of Toronto exceeds that of all of Alberta.
The significant proportion of GDP of Toronto is based on banking, government and a real estate bubble.
None of which create wealth, they just move the creation of others in circles.

Carney going to give billions to the softwood industry. This is the same industry that jacked up prices 250% in 2021, the infamous 10 dollar 2x4. Why didn't they put any money away for a rainy day and why is the taxpayer on the hook to save them?

When will the spending stop?

Some people voted in Carney as they thought he would be the faster option to dissolve Canada.
Trudeau told everyone that "Canada is a post-national state" for a decade and schools raised children on it.
