Western Separation?

[Goodtime]

I actually thought the separation thing was flairing up again...heard yesterday people are travelling around in Sask getting signatures in support of it.

The answer lies in observing how the Americans deal with this issue ( mostly a non-issue there). The last time there were problems with natives blocking a pipeline in North Dakota.

police launched an attack on the protesters with water cannons in 28 °F (−2 °C) weather, along with teargas, rubber bullets, and concussion grenades, injuring hundreds.[92] The police said the protesters had been "very aggressive" and that the water was used to put out multiple fires they had set

Arrests were made, Federal and State charges were laid. And the pipeline was built.

After separation and statehood, we can get on with business. The Americans are likely paying them to block our pipelines anyways, so much of this illegal activity will stop once the money stops flowing anyways.

Forage has a point. The treaties were signed with the Dominion of Canada. If that dominion no longer exists due to seperation, then all bets are off.

In the entire country natives are 4.9% of the population but in Ab they are 8% and Sask more than 12%. They have a lot more clout here but we also have the signed treaties.

We would have to negotiate full economic integration with the bands here to make something like that fly. We sure as hell don't want to carry the Indian Act on. From what I have seen in the past while, our native population is much more integrated and economically linked with us here on the prairies than the rest of Canada. Most if not all bands have been involved in successful business deals with local govt and companies.

Forage forgets one thing, the majority of Sk, Ab, Mb GDP comes from trade with the US. So long as we have an open border with them, that's all we need.

Forage to Chuck , Forage to Chuck .... time to start a new thread to bash them on something else now .....
Chuck ... 10/4 little buddy ... let’s go back to western separation, we got them in a corner now!!!
Forage ... you bet ... let the other borg members know .... over and out .......


At least it’s entertaining here at times 👍

It is amusing. Now that Chuck is playing to an audience of one, with everyone else either having him on ignore, or just no longer satisfying him with a response, the rest of the gang of CWB cronies have come back out of the woodwork to fill in the gap. And a couple are well on their way to ending up in the same state of having no audience.

Furrow that is funny, I was just pointing out the facts but some poster's feel we should all line up like sheep on every topic. Some poster's take themselves way to serious, it's a F'n chat line.


Did I sent you a picture of me in last years Xmas card?

If Trudeau has lost interest in his job, he should just quit. A government who has laws that can not be enforced is no government at all.

Its totally clear what Trudeau is trying to do. Lay low until that UN seat vote and then take it himself, make up some excuse like he has bigger issues to handle at the UN and drop the dumpster fire that is canada onto Freelands lap. Guess he wasnt expecting an insurrection to happen before that. Trump, China, Russia will make sure never gets that seat.

Wouldn't they love nothing more than to have a moronic egotistical puppet that they could easily manipulate and push over?

Caught the news conference with the four Chiefs and Grand Chief Perry Bellegarde who of coarse is from Little Bear first nation in Saskatchewan.

They each took turns addressing the blockade situation, and the one thing that they all repeated there has to be dialogue between all sides, the crown and the Wetʼsuwetʼen, and dialogue between the Wetʼsuwetʼen Band Council and the Hereditary Chiefs. Forced removal of blockades will not solve anything according to all five Chiefs.

All the Chiefs were very well spoken, but Bellegarde is an unbelievably polished speaker and knows what he's talking about regarding what the First Nation people want and are entitled to.

For those of you who still think Western separation is viable, you better find some one from Sask other than Moe, because Bellegarde will eat him for lunch, and then he'll have Kenny (Ab.)for dessert.

This is one hell of a mess for all Canadians, like OKA in 1990. A pattern is definitely forming.

Are you considering that the push for seperation might come from the native leaders?
