"The west wants out": Separatist sentiments growing in Alberta

Really tell me your version of the American Revolution and the dispersal of the population in its aftermath ?
The Acadians were long gone by the time of the American Revolution. The Acadian Expulsion was carried between 1755 and 1764 during the Seven Years War (what you Yanks call the French Indian war in spite of it happening all over the World)
Let's see if you can guess when the American Revolution happened .... and, oh by the way, how Acadia and New France were never a part of "Louisiana".
Funny, I thought a whole shyte ton of them came to New Brunswick, specifically Saint John since they promote a festival of Loyalists ever year...
Guess that's not a truth...
/s
The Acadians were not part of that. Some of them made their way back to Acadia after their expulsion but they sure weren't Loyalists.
The Loyalists landed in New Brunswick, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, in Prince Edward County in what is now Ontario and in the Niagara region around what is now called Niagara-on-the-Lake.
You should also include all of the Iroquois re-settlents ... Six Nations being the biggest.
If only Central Canada were like Sask. we wouldn't be so deep in debt.
Saskatchewan projects $37M surplus, NDP calls for running deficit
Hopefully Ford turns Ont. around it will be embarrassing for the West to foreclose on the Central Provinces

I was born in Regina. I've worked exploration decades ago in the Ring & Fontas Fields (on a map, it's where AB & BC & NWT meet, right on that T) and have lived in Calgary and Red Deer, but my Family was back on the southern prairies. I came home. I'm assuming that's the reason most people do what you're inquiring about above. Conversely, my girl was born in BC and grew up in the Yukon, spent her 'teens in Northern Sask, and here we are both in Regina. We are both home.
Back in the '80's when I moved West, the city with the most Saskatchewan born residents residing in it wasn't Regina or Saskatoon, but was Calgary. This might explain some of the political ties between SK & AB for some on the outside looking in.
Another BULLSHIT Lie from Cannuck.. of course..

"The first European settlers arrived from Scotland in 1755. The first arrivals were the Duthie brothers, George and John Duthie and their families. Their descendants still reside in the area today. It is one of the very few remaining municipalities on the Gaspé which still has a relatively large English-speaking population. It was originally a centre of farming, logging, and shipbuilding."
I don't pretend to know what's involved with the Bar Exam in US Jurisdictions, but when a Friend & Relative was going through the process up here, I was one of his sounding-boards. He had a list of 300 questions (all not related to the law) to run through in order to challenge the way a person reasons their way through debate. Mind bending questions. Here's one I recall decades later:
"If you're in a convertible (& why a convertible? I've no idea) traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on your headlights, what happens?"
Questions you'd have to think your way through, and bounce off those around you, and debate, and preform thought experiments with variables to come up with what you believe is the right answer to the original question. The answer to the above question came down to the word "at" in reasoning out what would happen at "just below" and then circling back to "at"....or what if the headlights where already on before reaching the speed of light as opposed to turning them on at the speed of light, etc...??
I have much respect for most Lawyers. I couldn't do it as I just can drink enough. Not enough tolerance for alcohol.
Saskatchewan government asks Ottawa for more control over immigration
Alberta's economic outlook sours amid a credit downgrade, muted energy spending

We'll cut the population down to 1-1/2 million, pump money out of the ground and turn down the heat so that a million and a half immigrants a decade don't overload the infrastructure.
That'll fix Ontario tickety boo and make it JUST like Saskatchewan.
We"LL even forget that until fifteen years ago, Saskatchewan was one of and sometimes THE poorest province in Confederation. Doesn't easy money make one cocky?
Balance your budget and save a lot of Canadian's money, before the socialist took over our province we were one of the richest in Canada and the richest in the West, welcome to our mistake and hopefully Ford bails you out.
