We dont have to go to the Feds. It's the Crown we go after.

First we negotiate with the Indigenous setting up a very fair deal with a stake, equity and a voice.

Then we dissolve the treaties with the Crown and it's "see ya later."
The Crown of Crowns is in the City of London, Deary.

Shall I go on?
Thank You
'We' as in . . .? If the last crooks were free to feed for 70 years 'we' are the last ones that should be close to them. Former ISIS members would make better advisers than 'we' would ever be even if 'we' weren't being charged with watching a crime unfold without alerting somebody. Make a good 'sode' on the longest running soap opera of all time. I was a NATO flunky and Loved it, . . well up until this confession of mine part . . . . What was the quote from the ISIS guy to Israel. 'Let me come home, I am having a very hard time in this prison.'


Take the same prison and air-lift them all to Hudson Bay and make arrangements for some stuff they will need, like a phone that rings and a computer voice in their Native language sets out some clear instructions.

A few South American countries have restrictions on foreign owned businesses being able to operate within 100 miles of the coast, doing that would be something that would be needed as well as making the residents all Prospectors so they have a lot of tax deductions every year and the Gov gets a real close up look at what is there and what is not there as far as marketable minerals and such. .

Canals might be better than trying for an all weather road system If they are deep tug boats could pull barges and in the winter something with tracks pulls a gang of sleighs. Swamps are flat so shallow ones would be better served with hovercraft devices and the last in the line would have a few surplus jet engines rather than wind tower sized props. There as the 'ground effect aircraft that float above 10 ft above the water. That would be 'your car' and the canals the streets and highways.


4 trailers bolted together and a steady supply of fuel (ng) could build about 200km of canal/day, every day. Maintenance would be double that, every day.
The 21st century part is the route followed what a detailed 3D map suggests rather than the best route being the last one to be built.

It's not up to the Queen.

Indigenous aren't obligated to uphold the Treaties signed with the Crown.

They don't have Treaties with Canada.

It's all in their hands and a fair deal for all would seal the deal.
She isn't the right crown either.
Here let me help you just a little. This is his 'spare ride'.

And in White Nattytown there are now no treaties between Canada and the first Nations.

Because anything you wish for can be true.

The rightful owners of the unceded land you are occupying doesn't have to sign anything, all the others could ditch the Treaties and form a Nation with them.

This is far bigger than just Alberta seperating.

Everyone has been mean to Alberta and they'll be sorry when Alberta goes.

It's a Western Canadian movement.

Keep in mind Western Seperatist Reform Party came 2 seats shy of being the Opposition.

January 30, 2019 – The concept of “Western Canada” may be one born of geography and history, but where does it start and end? How much do Canada’s four most western provinces actually have in common? What unites and divides them? And what assumptions do eastern provinces make about the west?

The answers to these deceptively simple questions have been the subject of nearly a century of debate in this country, and new data from the Angus Reid Institute – part three of a four-part study on western identity and opinion – aims to add to the discussion.

The poll finds a large majority of residents in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba – and a majority of Canadians, overall – inclined to believe “the west” is a unique region within Canada. That said, fewer than half of all Canadians can agree on a single definition of which provinces constitute “the west.”

This lack of consensus may reflect a larger truth: while Western Canada may be a “unique” region, it is far from a united one. The four western provinces have major disagreements on questions of politics and identity, with the rift between British Columbia and Alberta and the closeness between Alberta and Saskatchewan particularly notable.

That said, the west is united by its belief that it is not treated fairly by the federal government, and a sense it is poorly represented by Canada’s national institutions.

More Key Findings:
British Columbians see themselves as having more in common with Washington State (54% say this) and California (18%) than Alberta (15%) or any other Canadian province
Among those in the four westernmost provinces who feel their region has been treated unfairly by the federal government, two-thirds (66%) feel this treatment has been worsening in recent years, while only 12 per cent feel it has been improving (21% say it has not changed)
Fewer than three-in-ten respondents in each of the four western provinces say the federal government in Ottawa reflects and represents their province well
Most residents of Alberta (69%) and Saskatchewan (58%) favour their provincial governments taking a hard line with the federal government, while majorities in B.C. (63%) and Manitoba (52%) say they want their provincial leadership to be “firm,” but not play hardball.

AB,NWT (diamonds, hello)
SK has the biggest most profitable diamond project in the works.

Google Star Kimberlite.

And gold, silver, iron, copper, zinc, uranium, potash, sulphur, nickel and a plethora of heavy and rare earth elements.

Not just some but a f-cking shitload.

Oh and shitloads of freshwater.

Richest piece of real estate on the planet.

It is difficult to take you seriously as a separatist when you can't even spell the word.

There is no such movement, it is like the fake protests by Indians that killed the supposed pipeline. You know the one that would bypass lower BC while getting to an open market.


Mexico would join Canada first if any such mergers were in the works, bypass the US entirely via water routes.

Softwood dipped in epoxy would last how long in the rain forest?? Showcased at home thanks to some needed renovations in our rain forest.

Don't be an asshole ALL your life!
If you are at a table and everyone but you is drunk you might as well jump is as you wont have any fun any other way. There is an alternative, you flush them to where they belong, the curb.
