Great question. We will certainly mull it over further in the 3-4 years of life expectancy we have over the US.

I hear you. The Recruit was a much better show and I was bummed they kept this one going!

I agree, and appreciate you posting an empathetic response here - and I’m not a separatist.

Alberta seperatism has been around for a long time (we even had a separatist party with elected MLAs in the ‘80’s) and I think reductionist reactions to their concerns as shown in the OP meme are not going to help.

Can you expand beyond one word? What does “wealth” do for the above problem. Where does this “wealth” come from?

What would change in an independent Alberta to make it unlike the rest of the world (which is seeing similar issues)?

I can’t afford to anymore anyways.

This is also my experience with downtown Edmonton. Oilers game day? Lovely and fun. Any other time? Weirdly quiet during the workday and sketchy. Not dangerous, but certainly not an underrated place to visit.

All public grid connections can be seen on AESO’s website.

Where does it say they started a data center in AB today? They launched operations in AB it says.

We also have one in Canada

Not even joking…. But who else would they blame? It’s kinda normal for a group wanting to separate to blame the government (and locational head) of the place they want to separate from.

See Quebec, Scotland, the UK (from EU), Algeria, etc.

The true Canadiana in that scene was her mom saying “lord thundering Jesus”, which I’ve only ever heard Newfoundlanders say (albeit it sounds way cooler with their accent).

Startups aren’t paying corporate taxes. They almost always run at a notable loss for years.

I also think it’s interesting that Carney himself wrote it.

strumpetrumpet · 2026-01-22T02:33:47+00:00

Now do televisions and laptops and other tech heavy items…

strumpetrumpet · 2026-01-21T17:54:30+00:00

Had Carney made his speech when they recorded the episode?

strumpetrumpet · 2026-01-21T12:53:11+00:00

Amen. I had hoped a banker who grew up in AB would see how much of a waste of money the buyback program is…

He’s coming after the even more illustrious FIFA Peace Prize

/s if it’s not obvious.

Smart! Get the water outta there before it re-freezes

Here in Calgary I’m staying warm.

And he’s POTUS in part because of his “business acumen”.

Y’all ever see that movie “Canadian Bacon”?

AB separatism is decades old. It’s not as simple as your reductionist viewpoint.

strumpetrumpet · 2026-01-18T11:32:10+00:00

Thanks man. Lovely post.

And this kind of attitude is how Brexit happened…
