@Curtisrjoly @MorganLaidler Do you really think a referendum will shut ppl up?

@MorganLaidler I want the referendum it’s the best way to shut everyone up.

Jesus fucking Christ. 700K Albertans DO NOT want a referendum (no matter how she wants to spin it), about 300K do as they signed the separatist petition. The 400K that signed to remain in Canada want this nonsense to be done with and do actual things that matter.

@Stoox1989 @HockeyCanada @SanJoseSharks @penguins @PredsNHL @BCHockey_Source @HockeyNS @OHFHockey It’s ok to be sad. Just stop trying to make everyone else feel the same.

@HockeyCanada @SanJoseSharks @penguins @PredsNHL @BCHockey_Source @HockeyNS @OHFHockey This is such a beta Liberal Move. Fuck this country is a joke.

Sidney Crosby has been added to the leadership group for 🇨🇦’s National Men’s Team and will serve as an alternate captain at #MensWorlds. Sidney Crosby a été ajouté au groupe de capitaines de l’équipe nationale masculine du 🇨🇦 et portera un « A » au #MondialMasculin.

@lquail13 @Canada_Misinfo @cspotweet @JasonOnTheDrums What’re your housing costs in comparison to where you lived in AB? Van will never be affordable and I think that skews a lot of data and mindsets

@Canada_Misinfo @cspotweet @JasonOnTheDrums The data doesn’t say that, the data on actual affordability anyway.

Alberta advantage? I was chatting with someone with BC insurance with same vehicle year, similar model and same driving history. They pay $60 less per month than me.

@XDARRINSFl1ed @HockeyCanada @penguins @HockeyNS Where’d you snag that?!!

@Unscripted44 @PfParks Says the weirdo sharing their books online.

@PfParks Spoken like a true child predator... You sure picked a creepy hill to die on.

You know what’s Bananas? 1 NO ONE said 7 year olds should access porn (it wasn’t happening… not a real problem) 2 this govt spends more energy putting police in libraries than making sure your voting rights and data are safe… (a real problem for 3M ABs, they don’t care about)

Jason Kenney said it best. Alberta separatists are nothing more than a fringe reminent of covid radicalized grifters who no longer have Trudeau to use in their campaigns, so they had to find another scam. Degenerate losers, all of them.

@DanielMacl1n @CanadianModera1 Too much stupid here to unpack.

@CanadianModera1 “Tarrifs at the border” - the US has far higher tarrifs on the rest of Canada than they do on Alberta “Lost access to Canadian pensions & transfers” -this isn’t a con, this a pro. “Endless trade fights” - we already have this issue. Being independent gives us leverage

Alberta independence would be an economic disaster: tariffs at the border, lost access to Canadian pensions & transfers, investor uncertainty, weaker currency & higher borrowing costs, plus endless trade fights over pipelines and resources. Jobs and wages would take the hit.

@maythefourth69 @CanadianModera1 Seems more likely that you do? what a weirdo response.

@CanadianModera1 Mark Carney You have his poster on your wall

I have called many parts of this country home, now living & feeling frustrated in Alberta. From the UCP using the NWC to override rights to MAGA-style gerrymandering & now enabling separatists. Our nation is under threat. Who is actually standing up for Canada against the UCP ?

@AlbertaBogieman @sarobertsonca @acoyne What are those concerns. List them. So much of what seperatists are spouting is incorrect or completely misunderstood

@sarobertsonca @acoyne Wouldn’t it be easier to simply address Alberta’s very valid concerns rather than the ROC ignoring the reasons why Albertan’s want to separate?

Arlene Dickinson: "It was so obvious to me once I started to put them together that there is a pattern here that is very troubling, that is very evident, that there are people trying hard to create narrative for separatism, a method for separatism."

@RalphKleinD3 @oldcanadaseries You don’t speak for all of Alberta. I’m sorry You failed here, but that’s a you problem.

@oldcanadaseries Discount it at your own peril. Hatred for the East is real.

As someone who has 1.7 million Canadian history followers across IG, FB, YT - I want to be clear - the “Alberta separatist” movement is comically amplified by bots and accounts(real or not) from odd places in the US and elsewhere. It comes in waves at certain points - all with the same phrasing and hashtags and all with odd, obscure, low follower accounts. This is the playbook/strategy/scenario that happened briefly around the last federal election(followed by radio silence until this Alberta issue). (Cont)

@SherrieLyn70699 @globeandmail Globe again?

@globeandmail Of course there was none, just like there was none found in the Freedom Convoy, despite all the BS propaganda at the time.

RCMP found no evidence of foreign interference in Alberta separatist movement, minister says theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta…

@MLKing4766 @Reil76 Who keeps the profits from the oil the UAE sells? The UAE. Who keeps the profits here in Alberta? The COMPANIES. Not a good comparison.

Easier way to look at it is a comparison to the UAE. It exports 1/2 the amount of oil, has more than twice the population, The UAE does not levy personal income tax on individuals for salaries, wages, or personal investments. Residents and expats generally pay 0% income tax on their earnings The $75 Billion is whats left over from what ottawa sends back after keeping the rest to buy votes, shore up quebec and nearly every other province etc. etc. The only thing you are correct about is those services need to be replaces however Alberta more than pays its way for those services in ottawa already.

Lets actually sit down and do the math on Alberta separation, because it seems like nobody else wants to. Right now, Alberta’s budget is roughly balanced. About $70-75 billion in, same amount out. It’s not perfect, but it works. The second you leave Canada, you don’t just stop sending money to Ottawa. You inherit the whole damn machine they were running on your behalf: borders, military, pensions, Employment Insurance, courts, federal policing, Indigenous obligations, foreign affairs, currency, central banking, all that shit. That’s not some rounding error. That’s an extra $30 to $60 billion a year in new costs slamming onto a province that was already spending every dollar it made. So now you’re looking at $105-135 billion in annual spending against $75 billion in revenue on a good year. That’s a $30-60 billion hole every single year, and nobody in the separation movement wants to talk about it. And it gets worse. You’re also picking up $120-150 billion in inherited federal debt. That’s another $4-6 billion a year just in interest payments before you’ve even hired your first border agent or opened a single embassy. Where the hell is that money supposed to come from? How do you close a gap that big? You’d need brutal spending cuts, a new sales tax, higher income taxes, higher corporate taxes, and you’d better pray oil stays above $80 a barrel. Even then you’re white-knuckling it. The real kicker is the oil revenue swings like crazy. Your new government costs sure as hell don’t. You can’t call up the military or the pension guys and say “Hey, prices are down this month, take some time off.” The bills keep coming whether WTI cooperates or not. And now there’s no Bank of Canada to bail you out when shit gets sideways. You’re on your own. Good luck with that. This isn’t about politics or which team you’re on. It’s just arithmetic. You want to be pissed at Ottawa? Fine, there’s plenty of reasons to be fucking pissed. But don’t confuse being pissed off with actually having a plan. Right now the separation crowd is long on anger and real short on math that adds up.

@warhawk_109 @Reil76 Provide yours to clear this up then

@Reil76 You’re long on assumptions and real short on a balanced ledger.

@AlbertaStrong65 @Reil76 Bullshit. You’re betting their future on a highly volatile, declining asset of which Alberta doesn’t control the price. Wake up!

@Reil76 And I care about my kids & grandkids. I care about them being endlessly taxed to death without a voice to change it. I care about Ottawa telling us how, when & where we can develop our resources. I care about having no say about immigration. The list goes on. I don’t get a say?

@GiantBlueRing How do so many make it to that age being that dumb?

Scared, impressionable, old, white people alert....

@Jagermeis7er @StatelessGonad @furmsies By being uneducated, gullible, halfwits. Every one of your votes is a nudge forward to this bullshit grift wagon.

@StatelessGonad @furmsies Please explain how a separatist voter is responsible for the data leak

Alberta separatists are melting down on Facebook.

This government allowed four big power companies rip off every consumer in the province for three fucking years. It cost the Alberta economy $2 BILLION A MONTH. Tell me again how good the Unbelievably Corrupt Party is with money.
