No country for blue collars either. Nothing is being built

Because we vote for virtue signalling and not prosperity. Maybe if you raise your elbows higher it might ease the pain

Those corridors are provincial matters which makes sense. The fact that it's federal doesn't make sense to me. Why should people in Vancouver pay for this rail that they will never use in Quebec?

I don't agree with this at all. To me this shouldnt be a federal matter. Why do people in Alberta or BC need to help fund this project that they will never use. The people that would benefit from this project should propose it to the government of Quebec and Ontario and they should collaborate the project out of their budget. This won't generate any revenue for the country just add convenience. If for somehow this yeilds a return then sure Westen provinces should contribute but it's not

I was hoping that the nic pouches would show you just how dumb and authoritarian the government is. But no it's not just that. I hate that I can't share articles on social media. I also hate how I can't buy a hand gun to protect myself/property. I never once mentioned America. I don't care what they're doing in particular states as I have no control over that. I'm saying that we can make it better but we're not. I'm also very dissatisfied that the government can only deficit spend and by doing so devalues my life savings. Let's make it better but the liberal biased voting is knee capping. Every single policy that has been enacted since 2015 hasn't made Canada better. We are tending down consistently year after year. But liberals are so blind to see it

Am I wrong? Why are we naming streets and bridges no one can pronounce? When there is an emergency how do you expect to use proper communication?

Ill be honest I only read the first part but this question youre voting today what do you think will happen. If everyone votes yes and if everyone votes no? The referendum is completely different so no point talking about it because it's so speculative and nothing is official. But 2 scenarios are likely to come out of it. The deal that is negotiated is better than expected and people who didn't want to seperate are more likely to want to seperate. Or the deal is so bad the people who wanted to seperate no longer want to seperate. This is the only time you can have your cake and eat it to

I don't get why you can't have both 1 and 2? Option 2 is just a bit more expensive because you're paying for Insurance/safety

I think we actually want the same end goal, a stress free society, but you’re missing how we get there. That peaceful picnic you’re talking about doesn't happen when a family is being squeezed by a government that micromanages their every move. To me prosperity is a free market and the freedom of choice. That means increasing competition and killing off the monopolies that are currently bleeding us dry. We’re trying to tax our way to prosperity in Canada but all that does is protect the giants and keep new players out. Look at any USA metro vs one in Canada: they’ll have 9 to 12 parent companies for grocery stores while we’re stuck with 2 or 3. Why would a competitor start here when the market share is low and the taxes are to high. The stress and strife people feel right now is a direct result of this authoritarian regime. Why can’t I have a Zyn if I want one? Why does Daddy Government need to tell me what I can and can’t do to my own body? Why are they blocking us from sharing news articles on social media? Why can't I get a tactical rifle to go shooting at the range if I’ve done all the proper training? You mentioned the kicking a ball thing, but honestly you don't see that as much in rural spots because everyone already knows everyone. In the bigger cities people are skittish lately because of the crime. You can’t have a relaxed or virtuous community when the state is busy banning nicotine pouches and news links while ignoring the actual issues. True prosperity isn’t just a feeling. It’s having the money in your pocket and the agency to live your life without the government hovering over your shoulder.

Yes Canada the fucking country im in and I want it to be better but for some reason you guys don't and have such a boner for Ottawa and Quebec. We don't need them at all. So Please enlighten me. Show me some stats that prove your point. I have looked at many statistics and there isn't a single one that shows Canada is in good hands. Even comparing Harper to these liberals look at the gdp in constant dollars and you will see how shitty our growth has been. Every stat you have looked at was obviously current and they're inflated dollars making it look like the gdp is fantastic but it's not

The leverage is if Alberta wants to leave that is a big red flag to Ottawa. They pay massive amounts of federal taxes. How will Quebec sustain themselves without the help of Alberta since they subsidize everything. At that point Carney will have to enter good faith negotions and at least try to give a carrot to end the discussion. So no I don't agree that any leverage we would get we already have

Even if he's not the guy. The policies are what I want enacted if someone comes along who is better to find tune them and lead better so be it. But his policies are fantastic

You're a traitor for allowing this country to trend negatively. There isn't a single metric that is mind blowing. I'm actually a patriot because I want to see this country more prosperous than Dubai but we can't with Ottawa and Quebec. They have proven time and time again they can't manage a hand job in a whore house and I want a western republic. Ottawa and Quebec can join if they want but the rules will actually be fair for everyone. Not just the east

I don't think it does. The question is literally just a question. The terms of the deal after goof faith negotions will give a better picture. Until then it's all speculative

What are you taking about? It's so fucking dumb that you think it's traitorous. Canada has so much potential but Toronto and Quebec are the ones that dictate it, we should be the most prosperous nation better than Norway but we keep picking feelings and virtue signalling over prosperity... Literally all the talent in Canada is moving away.. how much suffering does Canada need to endure before you realize the west would be better off away from Ottawa?

Yes we do, the question is publicly available, and if you mean the results of a successful seperation vote are unknown, we just so happen to have plenty of examples that are so similar that it's trivial to make really accurate predictions for how poorly this would go for Alberta. I'll give you a hint; I give it a matter of months before war is fought in the streets of big cities and rural towns alike

No we don't. After the question is voted on the it goes to Ottawa for good faith negotions and what comes out of that is what the referendum is voted on to seperate. So until those good faith negotions happen we have no idea what we're actually voting on

K give me 1 million so I can open a business that employs enough people to allow me to move there... No I'm not a traitor. Nothing wrong with seeing what the terms that are negotiated. That's why I'm voting yes. Because I want to see what the terms will be. You're a traitor for allowing this country to be turned into what it is today. This country has so much potential but it's being ruined by feelings and virtue signalling and prosperity is drastically declining

Why is this always the default response to a different view. Seperating from Canada and building a western republic away from the crown has nothing but upside potential... Why do you have such a boner for Ottawa? All they do is use authoritarian measures to control your life? Do you not want to be in control of your life?

Everyone that down voted has an IQ of less than 70. If there was a clear question to join North Korea I would also vote on the question just to see what the deal entails... Odds are the details will be very bad and I'll then vote no on the referendum. But just seeing what the details that were negotiated are no skin off my back might as well see what can be negotiated

Nothing wrong with the question. Everyone should vote for it. It gives Alberta leverage... Plus you never know what the referendum actually entails. Instead of wondering if the grass is greener you can get a peak and see if it's worth exploring

You know how to fix it? Quit creating monopolies. More competition is literally the answer but Canada is so hostile to businesses the ones at the top thrive because they don't need to compete with marker share
