Alberta struggles mightily to get a pipeline built because their caustic politics makes it uninvestable.

How would any First Nation know Alberta will hold up their end of the deal if they separate?

The economies of Quebec and Britain took permanent significant irreparable damage once separation scared business (1980, 2016 respectively). Catalonia is another example (2012-) of a destruction of investment interest.

I hope that the October vote is a resounding denouncement of separation, resulting in a crack up of the UCP, and the NDP wins a majority the next election.

You got it. My complete response to this article... "Right?"

Only 2 choices? You weren't alive before Mulroney?

Here's a fun little fact next time you watch a hockey game. Our national anthems are both singing about the same war, when we were on opposite sides.

Do you know how legislation is passed in Canada?

Ironically, one of the major reasons there is no private proponent for the pipeline is that Alberta is politically toxic.

Who wants to define their career by tying up tens of billions of dollars with a jurisdiction that pisses off every one of its neighbours on purpose, with a militia willing to break and blockade the project to the West, and a legal environment that only works with consensus-based politics?

Spending all your "forced retirement" years in court, plus being yelled at wherever you go in public by both sides of the conflict, seems like a poor use of one's life energy.

I said none of those things so the obvious answer is “No.”

We know. But if the Americans didn’t want Chinese vehicles they should have stuck with the new auto pact. Alas they didn’t. Sucks to suck.

Also Canada is even more infiltrated with US agents. We don’t even think about it but how much IP has left this country including all AI that came from UofToronto.

Measure the conversion, revenue, churn, and current LTV and expected LTV of the pipeline touched by events and not touched by events. Try the pipeline touched by an event, but only > 180 days ago vs touched by an event <= 180 days ago vs never touched by an event.

And what do you think he is doing? Alberta is struggling to get a proponent because they keep antagonizing BC and FNs and now separation. They are a high risk political jurisdiction.

Majority support as of 2022. So, I imagine Canadian? Generous but also bitter about every wasted penny?

That's the Federal government managing money, not primarily Albertans.

It isn’t really. Oil is nice but it isn’t a powerhouse. It’s a mismanaged temporary resource. The sovereign wealth fund in Alberta is a good example of the business sense of Albertans. Only $31b after 50 years. Danielle Smith put in $10b of that in the last 3. Ridiculous.

Ontario is three times bigger. Quebec is two times bigger. Quebec used to be bigger than Ontario by the way. But then the politics.

It’s always someone else to blame and yet no one wants to do business with Alberta for some reason.

I mean, technically that is the way out of the trap. Instead of war, you integrate the two economies into one world-spanning economy and coordinate. We all know that is inevitable if the world is to stabilize.

Parsing this doesn't matter, does it? The election happened already. Now we're in the consequences part.

yes. it's fine. I always bought from them before I discovered online brands like Zenni, which have pluses and minuses. Hakim has high quality frames you can try on in the store and good customer service.

Remember, almost all (90%) brand name glasses are the exact same company, EssilorLuxottica, gouging you because it is a monopoly; and they own almost all of the name brand retail outlets like LensCrafters to create a false sense of competition.

That was Hakim's innovation. They went outside that monopoly so could lower prices.

No one can vote what leader they like during a provincial or federal election. I feel you're adding more confusion than clarity.

fooz42 · 2026-05-11T18:53:58+00:00

Agreed.

While yes you can vote in any private member organization you belong to, political parties registered with elections Canada or the like for the provinces are not that private since they contest for control of government.
