Absolutely needs to go when Berube goes. Just a terrible, terrible, terrible defensive coach and we saw this same thing LAST YEAR!

Not enough people talk about how Mike van Ryns defensive system may be the absolute worst in the league. Dean chenoweth was getting real minutes out of Jordie Benn, Luke Schenn, Victor Mete, Zach Bogosian, Travis Dermott and Ilya Lyubushkin. Mike van Ryn is a fucking idiot.

@jeffoakville @CBCOlympics They had six skaters in their defensive zone (all involved in the flow of play) when Harley fanned on his shot to start that play.

@MandrakeWail @Mikeggibbs Whether you think 50%+1 has historically been a clear majority or not makes no difference. That's a question for the House, the Senate and the SCOC. Also, Canada had been trying to absorb Newfoundland for decades prior to 1949. It's not like we came begging to join.

@dawntreader64 @Mikeggibbs The clarity act says "clear majority"; it does not give a number. This has historically meant 50%+1, which is why everyone was losing their minds when quebec got 49%, which is why nfld was able to join. If 50%+1 was offensive to canada, they should have denied nfld.

The key point that seems to be escaping everybody and didn't come up enough during #CrossCountryCheckUp is the Clarity Act and the Supreme Court reference. That law applies to every province not just Quebec. Alberta's referendum law is subservient to the Clarity Act! No province can leave Canada on a simple referendum vote. The Senate and the House of Commons must approve a question. And they must also approve a threshold for negotiating secession that is much more than 50% plus one. No province can end Canada on a simple 50+1 vote. Even if a Yes vote is recognized as official by both houses of federal parliament, secession must then be negotiated with every provincial legislature. **Every province must approve it.** That is the law of the land. Alberta would have to negotiate and get approval from many, many people, who are constantly changing because of provincial elections. The road to secession in Canada is a deliberately long, arduous, complicated process. Because the thinking was Canada should not be easily destroyed on the whims of a few in a passing moment of time. The process is hard law. Because it was voted in with cross party support representing Canadians from all parts of Canada. In fact it was supported and voted in wholeheartedly by Stephen Harper and his huge Alberta caucus in the early 2000s. Fun Fact: The Clarity Act was based on a policy proposal initially drafted by the federal Conservative Party! It was originally drafted by Alberta MPs! As Stephen Harper stated himself a couple weeks ago during a conversation with Jean Chretien. So, the Clarity Act could not be more democratically legitimate. Alberta Conservatives helped write and approve these rules! It's the law enshrined in a Supreme Court reference that can't be challenged. In other words, Alberta is not leaving Canada. This whole discussion is a pointless waste of time. The Premier of Alberta should put a stop to it. Now.

@MandrakeWail @Mikeggibbs You asked a question about why an Alberta referendum would require more than a simple majority to pass. I provided the answer. The Clarity Act is the reason. Also, the Newfoundland referendum is irrelevant to the discussion as it was conducted outside the bounds of Canadian Law.

@dawntreader64 @Mikeggibbs Amendments to the constitution in regards to alberta independence don't require permission from every single province, either. Negotiations happen after a successful referendum, but agreement is not mandated, either.

@MandrakeWail @Mikeggibbs Never said anything about begging. Pretty clear that it requires negotiation though. My point was about the difference in legal circumstance for the Quebec situation (pre-Clarity) and the current situation (post-Clarity) in response to that question being asked.

@Mikeggibbs -Newfoundland joined confederation with 52.3% -The 2nd quebec referendum got 49.4%, and it was common knowledge they needed 51%. Why is 51% good enough for quebec but illegal for alberta? Why didn't quebec need permission from every other province, but you think Alberta does?

No military then? No foreign affairs? Health care, highways, & other infrastructure just going to use Alberta's cost-share going forward? I mean, Alberta contributes more than it gets out of Canada in several ways (fiscally for sure), but this is Quebec separatist-level delusion and misinformation.

TO ALL UNIONIZED WORKERS IN ALBERTA, Take out your last pay stub, take a red pen, circle the FEDERAL INCOME TAX DEDUCTED NUMBER on your pay stub. Day 1 after Alberta Independence we can afford to eliminate federal income tax contributions. For a two income, union family this could be as much or more than a $34,000 to $50,000.00 increase in family take home pay per year! #AlbertaIndependence
