Trump for farmers

[fjlip]

So we are holding that huewai exec. for the usa because of an extradition treaty or something and yet the chinese are mad at canada and working on a trade deal with the usa. I dont understand this at all . Perhaps someone can explain.

Lets hope for a DEAL, and the USA drops the trial of the executive. If she was a pawn for negotiations, a deal would release her, I am hoping.

.......But, mark my words. Trudeau has put in motion events that will inevitably lead to western separation, and the only way that makes economic sense is if we can negotiate joining the US as equals....

You're delusional if you think there will ever be western separation, not a chance, not even on the radar of either politicians or 90% of the electorate. To think that a fragment of Canada could then join the US on an "equal" basis is even crazier. The odds of that happening are about the same as of North Korea becoming the 51st state.

Surprisingly I do agree with your idea of no party representing my views which should answer your question of me on another thread.

Would you be willing to make a wager on that? Assuming your conscience allows you to take advantage of a clearly delusional person?

I Wouldn't be opposed to a wager - never could resist sure bets LOL.

Weird thing. The more Trump Im exposed to, the less he bothers me. Quite the opposite for JT.

Western separation often rears its head among a very few the economy is down.

Blaming Quebec, Ontario and Ottawa is a staple of western Conservative politicians. But Kenney, Moe and Palister will have nothing to do with separation.

But once Scheer is elected and needs Quebec votes to get re-elected, SNC will be given a deal if it doesn't go to criminal court, Scheer will try to tinker with the equalization formula unsuccessfully just like Harper, and the oil and grain industry will rise or fall depending what happens to supply and demand.

In other words business and politics as usual with a few subtle changes.

You seem quite confident, so a large wager should not be a problem. What is a quarter of land worth where you are at now?
The timeline however is difficult, since these things can and do drag on for years and decades if we go the constitutional route, with forming political parties, having referendums, and negotiations. Regrettably, it would probably need to be a 20 year timeline. Although I'm on the record of stating that if it takes more than a few days from start to finish, it will scare off investment (Canada wide too), and defeat the purpose.

In other words you won't really wager because you know it isn't likely to happen. If, as you said in an earlier post, separation will be triggered by current events then it would imply a move in that direction being initiated within 5 years. Not going to happen.
