So you hate our Charter? If you want to negate your rights and freedoms to an expired documment, feel free but do prepared to laughed at and ridiculed if you try to use it in a Court of Law.

Yup...a typical westerner...despise PET and everything he stood for...and damn proud of it..

So, you don't like individual rights, and you don't believe in a strong independent Canada.
And you don't like a PM who won't be pushed around by his cabinet ministers.

You must hate our current PM, then.

Just the opposite...I am for an independent Western Canada ...free from Ottawa tyranny...
A free west would honor property rights, freedom of speech, rule of law and due process and would be the most free and prosperous nation the world has ever seen...

How much do you think it would cost us to buy the remaining Western Canadian Crown land that isn't held in resource leases by foreign interests?

But you just said that you "despise PET and everything he stood for", so that must mean you don't want individual rights, freedom of speech, rule of law, or due process.

Actually, it's those dollar billz that are making the provinces in the east useless.

Those same dollar billz will cause the economy to collapse when we can't function as resource collectors anymore. By then, the manufacturing sector will have been a long lost memory. And yes, you can thank the feds for that. They're the ones that are supporting the oil drum and giving little to manufacturing.

In a very short time you'll see industry and manufacturing return to Canada.

The new economy of Canada is going to have a sticker on it it that says "Assembled in Canada" and not "Made in Canada".

Ten...the turd gave us no such thing..we had it before he came along...he gave us flawed policies like enforced french, metrification, and opened to floodgates to uncontrolled immigration as well and tried to remove provincial jurisdiction over energy...he was real gem that fella.

Firstly, if they hadn't, the economy would be in complete shambles by now.

Secondly, that investment is actually supporting petrol companies as well.

Thirdly, auto manufacturing isn't the only manufacturing arm of the sector.

The east has never supported the oil industry in this country...it was built by Alberta and American insvestment...
