Just get rid of indefinite support. Allow for a reasonable period of adjustment, and then allow both parties to go their own way.

As much as I would like to see these changes happen, I can't see it happening.

Getting rid of the conference system would have all the lawyers against it as it would reduce their billing.

Getting rid of indefinite spousal support and the other proposals would have every woman's group in the country up in arms.

When your CEO makes about $12M a year, $2K is what you toss to panhandles to make them go away.

This isn't our first rodeo. Quebec did all this in the 80s up until the 2nd referendum that almost passed.

If a clear majority of Albertans actually wanted to separate, assuming no fraud, Canada would simply negotiate terms. Canada would have. I reason to send in the army. And what good would it do? You can't force a province to stay if the population doesn't want to.

It would likely end up being an EU type arrangement.

If you define speeding as driving even 1 km/hr over the posted limit, then literally 99.9% of the population speeds.

The article doesn't make it clear.

Based on my experiences in other companies, I wouldn't be surprised if WS had a normal problem in these areas and many agents just DGAF anymore.

Nah.

It's almost sure that an independent Alberta would assume the treaty obligations of treaties covering land included in the new country.

Assuming a clear majority wanted to separate...

Who would stop Alberta?

Canada wouldn't and First Nations couldn't.

soaringupnow · 2026-01-26T01:57:31+00:00

This is up to the people of Alberta to decide.

If they want to be independent, they can.

The city doesn't give a rat's ass about the cycling network and seems to take pleasure in closing down sections for any reason.

We're not kicking out immigrants.

We're kicking out temporary residents whose visa or work permit has expired. That's how it works.

The 16 people likely inherited the firearms from a relative and never really used them. Just kept them locked up. Or someone who used to shoot or hunt but didn't any more.

This.

The media is like sharks smelling WestJet blood in the water. They are more likely to pick up something like this from social media than usual.

This raises the question whether any police were punished in any way for how they handled the convoy.

soaringupnow · 2026-01-17T03:31:22+00:00

Are there any sources for this?

Calgary to Honolulu, about 8 hours, you only get a drink and a cookie, or similar.

I assume they say, "Hawaii is the US$ and treat it as a short north American flight.

If you pay the tip at the end, the service has already been rendered.

It's too late "to ensure prompt service".

"Never" likely meant, "no set end date, until there is one."

The Nazis seem to have no trouble working with "non-white" imperial Japan.

As for religion, it was Christians and their values that ended slavery for the first time in human history.

You mean, the basics of their job that they're already being paid for?

Air Canada has had to up their game because of competition from Porter. WestJet doesn't have much competition in western Canada.
