It would save $12 extra Billion that we are slated to pay in for this year and a couple years to come due to the locked in rate Libs. wouldn't renegotiate in the face of falling Oil prices.
Oh Moose - your math is bad! In the first place - ANYTHING that messes up the Ottawa bottom line will bring MAJOR RETALIATION!
Alberta will SAVE NOTHING - for the simple reason that Ottawa and Washington will ensure that Alberta becomes
an international PARIAH!
There will be NO SALES of Alberta oil to ANYBODY!
Our idiot Boy is looking for ways to KILL the entire Cdn oil patch - AS HE HAS TOLD US BEFORE!
Thus a REBEL Alberta will be SHUNNED and LIE-berals will be handed the PERFECT EXCUSE to buy oil from their
Soviet Socialist PALS in Venezuela!
And the Yankees are already whining about foreign oil!
The Yankee shale oil / Fracking biz is in TERRIBLE SHAPE and Washington will follow the USUAL Yankee play book
and BUY AMERICAN! And Alberta AINT AMERICAN!
Thus there will be NO oil sales to United States as Alberta oil is MUCH MORE COSTLY to produce than Shale oil!
Worst of all - ANYTHING - such as a rebellious province that decides NOT to pay its Cdn Confederation membership dues
WILL PISS OFF BOTH Washington and Ottawa!
Wexit Wingnuts NEED TO GROW UP and recognize that when the money runs out - SO DO YOUR FRIENDS!
The latest news out of Ottawa is that our deficit for this year will HIT TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO BILLION DOLLARS!
And that DOES NOT INCLUDE all the BILLIONS MORE being run up by cities and provinces!
All this Tsunami of debt is going to go through our economic system like Mexican tap water in a tourist gut!
There wil be NO ROOM for Alberat Wexit Wingnuts on any political stage! Nobody can afford it!
NOT EVEN ALBERTA!
And here is a REALLY UGLY THOUGHT: the same n asty cabal of civil service union HOGS and other special and grossly entitled
SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS will be out in force in spring 2021 DEMANDING their usual GRAND PAY RAISES!
ONE THIRD of the Cdn population is made up of HOGS who all sincerely believe they are ENTITLED TO IMMUNITY
from the cost and consequences of Wuhan Pestilence and the debts it generated!
If history offers any valid lessons- then we are headed for FANTASTIC INFLATION AND ALL MANNER OF LIE-beral skullduggery!
We need only look at the federal LIE-beral insistence that our "economy is booming" even as the debts soared!
Or we could look at the Wynne-bag Ontari-owe LIE-beral record in which MAGICAL LIE-beral accounting
TURNED A SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT INTO A BALANCED BUDGET!
We are heading for a storm of LIE-beral accounting SO FANCIFUL that it would make Baron Munchausen BLUSH WITH ENVY
at the INCREDIBLE FAKE NEWS!
Wexit is DEAD as disco! The West is going to end up with MUCH BIGGER AND MEANER FISH TO FRY!
