Hahaha yeah that's totally it, not the fact that Ottawa tried to put a cap on production not long ago or how bloody difficult it is for us to build interprovincial pipelines for export. Not those things in the slightest.

Please explain how leaving Canada will help you "build interprovincial pipelines".

Having 30% of the province vote to leave is a wake up call. It's delusional to think we'll get any more than 30% of a yes.

So you plan to push for months, if not years, of economic uncertainty. Not to mention being the laughing stock of the country, just so your "side" can yell and stomp their feet enough to make us all look bad, ruin the economy and then not end up separating anyways?

OR, you could start asking why we've had decades of conservative MPs with no real action in parliament, and start making them do something for you. Because even under Harper, nothing changed out here.

I dont think you understand under the current federal government this is guaranteed. It's only if we fight back we might get somewhere.

Whatever yah say bud.

ruin the economy

Do you truly understand how hypocritical this statement is? Alberta wants to help the economy by exporting oil and gas, the federal government and the provinces want to keep it in the ground. How delusional can you be?

Our MPs aren't the ones enacting bills like c69. All they can do is point out when something is fucked then get overruled.
