    The concept of assigning land rights (or any rights) based on race is immoral.
    So I guess 'joining the US' is off the table again.

    Said it before. I'll say it again. Can't be done efficiently because we're land locked. If Northern BC, Cariboo, Chilcotin Coast wanted to join us, that'd be great, but let's not invite the lower mainland.

    Not much difference shipping to ports in Washington and Oregon vs BC. Your argument is shit.

    People are crazy. You don't separate when barrels of oil are $20, you separate when barrels of oil are $200.

    Seperation because of malcontent almost always leads to anguish. The iron is stone cold.

    I always laugh when I hear this argument.

    We aren't changing the location of Alberta or the oceans one way or the other.

    I think you are probably right. But that doesn't mean it's a bad idea - it means that people are locked in their way of thinking, are generally panzies and are trapped by nostalgia and useless patriotism.

    If someone tells me they work in government in Alberta, I assume it's because they don't have the competency to do something else.

    Hahahaha..totally this!

    BC lost an invasion against Chinese people with chequebooks. I'm not sure they would know how to handle an ACTUAL invasion.

    If we separate, we can create our own constitution that requires all levels of AB government to meet basic intelligence requirements ...... LOL

    Yeah. This is my thought exactly. We can't get a pipeline built with 1 approving party responsible. Imagine if we were a separate nation. We'd rely either on Canada anyways or would rely on the US.

    Interesting.
    If AB does separate, would we still want the Queen as our head of state? Constitutional Monarchy or go full Republic..?

    Right now Alberta's negotiating leverage is zero. Or very close to zero.

    With a constitutional crisis or separation, it is more than zero.

    I used to feel the same way. Now I think the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
    Agreed. When you look at some parts of the world (Qatar) that keep their money and revenues in house, its amazing how well they do. The bleeding has to stop somewhere for us.

    Nothing will get through to Eastern Canada or the Federal Government, not even that. Refusing to supply anything to anyone in Canada would be a start, if your Prov. Gov't is going to keep going into debt why don't they just shut off every tap they can and subsidize the residents for 3 months to insulate them from the impact - call it a social program.

    it makes working
    What? No, not really. Also, it's a very globalist attitude of you to say so :p The majority of people do not leave their home province/country. So I'm all for not catering to you.

    and travelling freely a lot harder
    Compared to what? Alberta would be welcome with open arms anywhere USA or Canada is.

    Pretty sure Alberta has the highest % of monarchists, but at the same time, I think that would be up to England.

    Plot twist, Alberta separates and creates NAFTA equivalent immediately with Britain and USA. We really only need the USA anyways as a major trading partner. All the other countries would line up at our door to get access to our natural resources.

    Why would they agree to that?

    Hell, with Britain's situation, we'd be pretty darn low on their negotiation list.
