more crap from Rex?

Let me guess-its the globalist climate change zombies targeting Alberta's dirty oil that has caused the downturn?

Rather than the fact that the oil they are producing is unprofitable.

Anything rather than admit that.

So don’t read the article , shoot the messenger, and give a flawed synopsis. True to form .

He won't be the one coming. Canadian Army snipers are the best the world has ever seen (or not seen), and Saudi Alberta has some pretty open sightlines.
Send the Van Doos to Garrison Edmonton and send the Edmonton Garisson to Valcartier. The Esquimalt fleet can tie up on Wascana lake.
You're both talk'n like you've gone full retard. The People of the West just are tired, and want an equal footing in Confederation. "The uppity Westerners want to be treated like equals? Call out the Van Doo's against the traitorous bastards then!!" Don't you both have some Negro's to Lynch first to warm up to this like good little Nazi's? Tecumsehsbones, I expected more from you....& Curious Cdn, if you offered anything more than what you're doing I'd be shocked. You're both knocking this.....does that mean you've read it (?) or are just being raging trolls?
Rex Murphy: This is not a standard downturn. And Albertans are not whining
You might just get some perspective Tecumsehsbones, & Van Doos can help you with the big words Curious Cdn. I once thought you where just a selective part-time patriot but I was much too gracious in giving you far too much credit.

I take a man at his word, even if he's a f*cking idiot. So, talk treason, and I'll respond accordingly. Talk war, and I'll use my experience to tell your cowboy ass you've never seen military-scale violence.

Talk a political movement to increase the West's influence in Ottawa, I'll wish you well and go play Candy Crush.

Wow. Do you actually think most Albertans agree with the massive cuts to social services the UCP is making? You do realize that Albertans are not a bunch of mindless Nazi trolls. You don't hear us claiming that 100% of Ontario's population support everything Doug Ford does.

I swear. You let a Quebecois move to Western Canada, and he thinks he is above everyone else.
Apparently, you don't know your ass from your elbow.

The first social payments cut would be the welfare money we send east. Oldest location and they still can't make ends meet. Time for completely new management.

What happened after Quebec had a referendum, they got pretty much anything they wanted as a Province..

I'm not sure the same will happen with Alberta, but it's worth the effort. Maybe if the rest of Canada thinks that Alberta could leave, they might approve and build some pipelines.

But as a said before, Alberta won't split.. even if they voted "YES" to split.. it won't happen.

Nothing treasonous in exercising one of the published rights in the Charter

When Ottawa and the Canadian Courts turn a blind eye to abuse then 'the file' should be moved to some desk at the UN. That is why they were created. Alberta is a Province that is being robbed of money. That is as low as it gets on the abuse scale, torture and systematic abuse with death the desired goal is the case AB could help the North present as their case to why they should be allowed to separate and take a whole lot of money with them rather than it costs them a single dime when it is all said and done. UN Troops in a buffer zone if push comes to shove.
AB is entering 'service mode' for everything, the only 'R&D' is to the north, 'Zamboni Toll Road Network' system with convoys electronically networked so 6 'C-Trains' just motor along with each of the 6 drivers pulling a 4 hour shift. Fuel trucks can fill up other on the fly so truck stops do not exist at all

They'd better wear those rubber socks. Farmyard diseases have been known to cross species.
Yep, Girth and Boomster both reddie'd my "traitors" post, so by Girth's own stupid excuse for logic, they must be camping on Brokeback Mountain.

Oh, sorry, almost forgot the mandatory disclaimer. . . "Not that there's anything wrong with that."
