Please do not feed the birds. Feeding creates a dependent population that is a potential health hazard and makes a costly mess. Birds. Just birds.

@CanadaWillPrj No country, except Canada, is dumb enough to landlock their resources. Fortunately Alberta is already an example of a richer landlocked province. Access to tidewater would be a great benefit. Access to the American market matters more.

@14thBaseline But yet you don’t provide an example of a landlocked oil producing states that has gotten richer via separation. All talk.

Separation makes no sense for Alberta. It will produce years of uncertainty, make Albertans poorer, and lead to AB being swallowed by the US. HQs will move, and people too, crashing home prices. And it would be 100% self inflicted. The numbers don’t add up #ableg

@JoeyTweetz @CanadaWillPrj To be fair to Quebec, they have good natural gas reserves. They just choose not to use them because it would take work and might jeopardize the free money Albertans are forced to send them. It's smart, if the goal is grinding mediocrity.

@CanadaWillPrj @14thBaseline Quebec and Alberta are vastly different. Alberta has the 4th largest oil reserve on the planet. Quebec has poutine?

@CanadaWillPrj Provide an example of an small oil rich independent nation having a good economy? Gee, I'm sure I can think of something. Your logical fallacy to avoid decision making has no power here. The whole point is to make decisions, federalist.

@14thBaseline All pipe going south touches another prov first. I am not advocating for worst case. You called it that. I showed it could be worse Provide one example of an expert who says AB will be richer under separation. There are none. Even Grok knows.

@CanadaWillPrj We don't need Ottawa to keep our economy growing. We have products the entire world wants and, unlike Canada, a population willing to do the work to sell them. Don't worry most exports go south. Not east and west. We don't need the rest of Canada's non-function domestic market.

@CanadaWillPrj You are making bad assumptions based on a faulty premise because you don't understand the nature of confederation. Will, Alberta losses money in federal transfers. We send far more to Ottawa than we "get" back.

@ColdWarVet1980 The problem is a lot of fellow voters would gleefully vote for socialism. Our socialists friends need to know there'll be a lot more cheese for Albertans as soon as we stop sending it to Ottawa.

@Landonforward14 Cut spending. Cut services. Cut government. People can no longer afford the cost of government.

Calgary city council sets the 2027 property tax rate in November. Setting aside the provincial education portion (which council doesn't control), what municipal increase would you find acceptable next year? calgary.ca/our-finances/b…

@WomanDefiner Albertas have a saying for the rest of Canada and its stupid energy policy: let the eastern bastard freeze in the dark. The euros are free to melt in the dark. If they're too stupid to understand hot weather can be solved they, like Africans and aids, deserve their fate.

I much rather my tax money go towards getting Europeans Air conditioning than Africans AIDS treatment to be honest.

@nenshi I'm over taxed. Can you do something about the size, scope, and cost of government.

If you've got stuff you need to get rid of, look for the community cleanup in your neighbourhood.

@yegwave He's right, separation will be an incredible amount of work. But it is a solution. Carney will not give a solution. He will also not acknowledge there's a problem.

Prime Minister Mark Carney will attend the Calgary Stampede next week with a message that Alberta separation offers no easy solution. Carney plans to highlight economic risks and cite the United Kingdom’s Brexit experience as a cautionary example. He described separation as a dangerous bluff rather than a free option.

@kpac_15 Choosing Canada means choosing mediocrity.

Canadian productivity stats- Alberta- 3.8% BC- 0.3% Ontario- 0.3% Quebec- minus 0.9% Alberta’s backs are getting sore carrying the rest of these useless tits.

@somajoe69 @joshua_rangers See? No solutions. Not even an idea of the problem. Your country is dead Joe, it's dead because of apathy from people like you.

@14thBaseline @joshua_rangers You bore me with your far right ditchbilly talking points

Can anyone give me a REAL reason why Alberta shouldn't fight for its independence, prosperity and sovereignty?

@Write4Republic Public unions for sure. Private unions can understand making more money and investing benefits the works. Few do this.

Unions are basically all socialist.

@somajoe69 @joshua_rangers I can make the argument for incentivized mediocrity, imbalances in the house and judiciary, a useless senate, overreaching federal policies, internal trade barriers, and ineffective management of fed responsibilities I don't think you can explain these away or find a solution.

@14thBaseline @joshua_rangers "The country you're think of is already gone Joe. There is no soft approach to the failure of our confederation. " This is the point that we need to agree to disagree on

@Doubletapp187 How many of those 600,000 are provincial or muni funded workers?

600,000 Albertans are going to pay the maximum CPP1 and CPP2 premiums in 2026. We pay billions more into CPP than we receive back, going back decades. Albertans are being used to keep the aging population in Eastern canada fat and happy while our pay cheques get smaller and smaller. We should be taking care of seniors in Alberta only.

@somajoe69 @joshua_rangers The country you're think of is already gone Joe. There is no soft approach to the failure of our confederation. Your options are independent or mediocrity. You're advocating to become mediocre like all the have not provinces.

@14thBaseline @joshua_rangers We will need to agree to disagree. Destroying the country and the province I was born in and currently reside in is not the answer. Electing ( provincially ) adults that will work with the federal government instead of seeing them as an enemy would be the first step

@somajoe69 @joshua_rangers The problem is the reasonable people are unwilling to confront the base issues that are destroying us. We refuse to be honest, the PM included. I guess it's just easier to call people names than look at the constitution. Ah well. Either way the end is the same for Canada.

@14thBaseline @joshua_rangers I disagree . But alas that is where we are We have reasonable people that see that our great nation has issues and are glad we have a PM that is working to resolve them Then we have the freedumb clownvoy ditchbillies who want to destroy everything.

@somajoe69 @joshua_rangers Your country is dying and nostalgia isn't a reason to remain inert. But you can decide to have a voice in your future rather than letting people rule you from 3000km away.

@14thBaseline @joshua_rangers Sure does. Born in this amazing country in this amazing province and I'm proudly a Canadian ( and Albertan ) That's enough of a good reason to speak out against those that want to destroy my home province and country.

@somajoe69 @joshua_rangers That no longer means anything.

@joshua_rangers Easy answer : we are Canadian.
