Only A5 and other wanna be republicans think they made it all by themselves!

No. I think all Canadians are free to move and live and work anywhere they want within this country. There's nothing stopping anyone moving from a have not province to the have provinces.
Even Chuck could move to Alberta work hard and investor his capital and contribute to the entire Canadian economy in the process.

Do you think being resource-rich is the only requirement for success?

How is that working out for Nigeria, Venezuela, Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Equatorial Guinea, Chad, Republic of Congo, Sudan, Papua New Guinea, and Zimbabwe?

It's almost as if there is more to the equation than just being lucky enough to live in a region with resources.
Hard work, innovation, and rule of law and investor friendly stable governance seem to play a role.

Why is the turd in Ukraine?

Why is the turd in Ukraine?

Must be fake news. Chuck just told me that he is gone.

[chuckChuck]

So you do think Canada is okay then?

I am not so sure about Alberta though? Its starting to look a bit like Nigeria with a corrupt government and leader!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

But A5 you still admire the currently very corrupt and unjust US undemocratic system over Canada's!

Did you forget that you just spent the last four plus years defending the integrity of the US democratic institutions? Insulting and name calling anyone who dared to question the results of the previous Democratic elections in the US?
No suddenly they are very corrupt and unjust and undemocratic?

Hypocrisy at its finest.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Huh? So why are they having a leadership race?

That's the very same question the rest of the country has been asking.
Why bother with the charade of having a leadership race for what is obviously a coronation of the appointed leader? They already kicked out his only real opposition.

Still waiting to hear from Ab5 how Canada beccomes the 51st state , maybe you can help him with that.

So once again you are demanding that I defend one of your straw man arguments which I never said I support in the first place.

The US will most certainly take control of the regions of Canada which are resource rich or militarily and geopolitically vital.

Anyone who thinks they would have any interest in incorporating the rest of the country is probably also gullible enough to believe the Western propaganda that Russia wants to take over the resource poor openly hostile Western regions of Ukraine.
When it happens it will have nothing to do with arbitrary provincial boundaries.

If we were smart we would initiate the process ourselves and negotiate on our terms from a position of strength.
As you correctly point out, our brainwashed citizenry are not that smart. So we will continue to allow the US to interfere in our political and economic affairs.
This will continue to weaken our economic position and political cohesion to the point where we will be forced to accept whatever terms they offer. Look at what has happened in Venezuela for a great example.

The straw that breaks the camel's back will probably be a hot war in the Middle East or with china. With Chinese owning many of our critical resources and the Canadian government fully infiltrated by Chinese, that will provide all the justification needed to liberate said resources.

If it is done by a Republican administration, we will be strategically divided up into multiple states such that the Republican majority will be guaranteed in the future.
Vice versa if it is done by a Democrat administration.

Stopped in for a look , he TDS has gone off the charts , pure waste of time replying to the same nonsense over and over again

100 years things will look different.
Not so sure about the lines on a map.
Haven't wanted to annex Mexico.
Why be fully responsible when you can just invade occasionally.
They've got their own problems.
Our own balkanization won't be as bloody. But just as certain; perhaps.
I feel the population in Canada that feel disenfranchised will shrink with apathy over time. I believe the numbers support that feeling.
What the general pop might be missing is the choice by default they are making in who owns/controls our industries and resources and subsequently our local benefit.
I think in <100 years Mandarin will be a requisite for a business degree.
QC French for an Ottawa job only lol.

Although I would rather prefer the CIA to interfere in our govt occasionally as they are wont to do.
Better them than the Chinese or the George Soros crew.
Carney game plan making me ill the more I learn.

Or, maybe he will hasten the downfall of our current weak system?
Doesn't really change the rest of my life I guess. Just die poorer lol.
