Maybe we need status of a special interest minority group. Who has been persecuted one way or another.

Regardless the farm vote in either country is insignificant.

Originally posted by grassfarmer View PostWhile I agree with your latter point re farmers and complacency I disagree with the first. As a political movement the truck convoy was a failure and likely had zero influence on the subsequent decision. It barely made mainstream media and although some of you folks think the earth revolves around SK the terminus of the convoy wasn't Regina but Ottawa and it's arrival there was totally overshadowed by the SNC/JWR scandal.

Originally posted by grassfarmer View PostWell no - if you separate MB, SK, AB and BC the farm population of the new entity would be less than 3.5% versus the 2% it is now. Hardly a game changer. Looking out our farmhouse windows does not give a representative view of Canada.
We simply can not be dictated to by a handful of French Canadian elite socialists any longer
It’s killing our economy..... look around out your window and go to your local dealerships come fallLast edited by furrowtickler; Jul 3, 2019, 08:45.

Yup ...the farm vote in the states is so insignificant that they have managed 27 billion and counting in direct support in the last two years....

Originally posted by the big wheel View PostFurrow do you think ag would be the priority or oil in a separatist west? Ag would go on but could you imagine the rights given to oil over ag? And who would be owning ag? None of the complaints about the west treatment involves how ag is ignored by the right or left both. It’s only the plight of oil that’s on the table. It would not be this peaceful all of a sudden utopia it would be chaos at best. How would all our goods going east go east? Bc that would always be a pain in the ass even if they did join the separation there is a lot of lefties controling that province would be endless negotiations and they’d hold the rest of us by the Yonkers what other option would we have to export?
They truly believe in Ottawa we do not exist economically, much like grass just pointed out ... they can hit the ignore button
Just my opinion....
