    SKexit

    Got this from smalldeadanimals.com.
    Thought it would start an interesting chat......

    What would be necessary? Here's a quick list I threw together. Undoubtedly incomplete.
    - Take responsibility for 1/35th of federal debt as of November, 2015. I think it was around $620B so that would be $17.7B. This is to be paid to the Gov't of Canada over twenty years without interest. ($870M/yr)
    - Pay 1/35 of Canada's November 2015 Defence budget of $23B yearly to the Gov't of Canada. This is $657M/yr or until such time as Saskatchewan deems necessary to provide for our own defence.
    - A flat tax on all income, personal and corporate.
    - Look towards Switzerland for banking regulation.
    - All current Indian Reservations remain under the purview of the Gov't of Canada and outside the responsibility of the Gov't of Saskatchewan. All Status Indians remain Canadian Citizens with the right to immigrate to become a Saskatchewan Citizen with all the Rights and Responsibilities that entails.
    - Until such time as Saskatchewan law can be clarified, Saskatchewan will continue to enforce the Canadian Criminal code as it exists from the point of separation.
    - Freedom of speech, property rights, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, the right to firearms, the right to not self-incrimate, the right to due process, and freedom of the press be enshrined
    - Elected Judges with 10 year terms.
    - An appointed Supreme Court by the legislative body.
    - Saskatchewan will continue to hire the RCMP to enforce the law until such time as a Saskatchewan police force can come into being.
    - Saskatchewan will take over responsibility for all Canadian National Parks within the boundaries.
    - Cede employment insurance to private enterprise.
    - Convert to the US dollar as the currency.
    - Fund Consulates in the US, European capitals, Japan, India, Israel, China and Russia.
    - Take over border entry points from the Gov't of Canada.
    - Saskatchewan remains a subject of Her Majesty, the Queen of Canada to be finalized via referendum at a later date.
    - Existing trade agreements between Saskatchewan and Canadian Provinces remain in effect for five years.
    - Four year election cycle utilizing first past the post using the current Legislative districts to be modified for at most one representative per 30,000 citizens.
    - Existing rail Right of Way is to remain the property of the railroads.
    - Dual citizenship will be recognized with the US or any member of the former British Commonwealth.
    ...and probably a pile of more stuff.

    Interesting for sure and sound doable but would be nice with Alberta and Manitoba. If not something like that then just join the United States if they would have us.

        I’d take being a American over being Canadian the last few days. Trudeau and company divide a country

          Yes anytime I have been down there in farming country they are so far ahead of us I felt like I was coming back into a third world coming home.

            Knock yourselves out then - nothing stopping you moving there. Want to talk about dividing a country? lets talk Donald Trump.

                We shouldn't be talking about an exit but alternatively we should be talking about giving Quebec, Trudeau and the freeloaders the boot.

                It seems like Trudeau and his father both intentionally divide the country and infuriate western Canada and subsidize the east for political gain.

                  Should have called their bluff the last referendum. ...it was close enough to give to them. Maybe the US would take them and grant them their distinct society! Or not......forced assimilation! One official language in the US and heavens knows there's enough Hispanics. Life's tough down east!

                    Trump is hell-bent on protecting its businesses, ours thinks they are cheats.

                      Maybe give yours a shake and see if you can dislodge some of the sawdust. There is one world leader currently that is an embarrassment and the standing joke on the international stage and it's not JT.

                        Um... Actually it is.

                        According to Germany media, Brazilian media, and even some American outlets.


                        Trump is a Bartlet pear. Trudeau is a furry tickle me Elmo doll.

                        Neither capable of running a country but somehow both ended up in that roll...

                          Don't worry Grass If I could I would. Trump wont be there long and I would take him over what we have. It would be nice to drive down a paved road that isn't one pot hole after another and whole hi ways that are nothing but patches.

                              Real drainage system for farmland.

                              Interstate system is federal... Compare it to ours.
                              River barges for moving coal grain oil etc.
                              A military capable of defending it's borders.
                              A pipeline system across the country
                              A rail system across the country
                              NASA.
                              An elevator system that can handle a crop and not rely on farmer storage.

                              Canada has potential but we need to keep working not stuck our heads in the sand and say we're the best look at us...
