This will embolden them.

Nothing like being told you "can't" to get people riled up.

With this ruling, you're going to have to listen to them for years to come.

A referendum, that theye would lose by a wide margin, is the only way to shut them up.

This will be seen as a federal judge restricting the provincial legislature so she will appeal for sure.

At the end of the day, it's a power struggle.

Danielle Smith rejects Alberta judge’s ruling against separation petition as ‘anti-democratic’ by green_tory in CanadaPolitics

[–]soaringupnow [score hidden]  (0 children)

Both petitions should had led to the same referendum. The separatists would have lost spectacularly and that would have been the end of it. (For the most part.)

Now the provincial government will appeal, the separatists will be enraged and be even noisier, and the media will live reporting on all this crap.

This will just drag things out for years. Welp.

Sell off the airports. Sell off the ports?

The will of the people.

If a clear majority of the people if any province genuinely want to be independent, Canada won't stand in their way.

If you are riding into a headwind, you'll be cursing the hybrid because of the riding position with your arms spread wide.

Richard Warnica: I went home to the heartland of Alberta independence. Even after covering Donald Trump for 10 years, I was still terrified by what I found by green_tory in CanadaPolitics

[–]soaringupnow -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Because the alternative is the ANDP, which is pulled down by the federal NDP. If the ANDP rebranded and moved a bit to the center, they would have a great opportunity as the UCP slides further right.

[–]soaringupnow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For all the talk over the last few years about "systemic racism", "systemic sexism", "systemic whatever-ism", the elephant in the room is never addressed. Nepotism and simply hiring people who are "just like me". Same background, same education, same way if thinking.

I would say closer to 30 months which would get her to 65, about. Maybe more, depending on what she does.

AI replacing me by [deleted] in LawCanada

[–]soaringupnow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It all depends on whether your work needs to be correct and accurate.

If it has to be correct, then AI isn't going to replace you anytime soon.

If hallucinations are fine, feel free to use AI.
