As much as the east doesnt want to think about it, people out here are getting fed up. Even those that never would have considered "wexit" in the past, are now considering it.

My point is that there is no western separation movement outside of the (ab)normal climate change deniers.

If there was there would be elected separatists at the local provincial and federal levels as there are with Quebec.

The only point you have is the top of your hat.

CERTAINLY there is room for worry in the Wexit Wingnut Whining!
The rest of us DO NOT WANT a failed Frozen North Version of BANKRUPT Venezuela on our borders!

Oh? We will be just fine without the greedy hands in our pockets from Central Canada, Hell even Ghina would come roaring in to finance us for our Oil, Diamonds, Uranium, Lithium, etc. Will they be interested in Ottawa without our Oil and multitude of resources?

Imagine how high our economy can get without Ottawa tying one hand behind our back

P.S. I forgot to mention the largest reserve of Potash in the world is centered in Sask. with the large quantity of Oil reserves there is a lot of Nitrogen available. Can you imagine if delivery contracts were signed at the source, compared to the open market pricing system it is currently under.

Hardly.

Your problem is that you live in a world where budgets balance themselves and all is Sunny Ways.

You voted for this, so you can keep it, it just won't fly here out West




My "problem" as you call it is that I am more sensible than you are and more realistic as well!


The OLD LOGIC that dictated that we would be stronger together STILL STANDS!


Unfortunately Canada is being undermined by a cabal of LIE-berals and by a clutch of Wexit Wingnuts!



Publicly demonstrating the pain and difficulties that LIE-berals are creating as they desperately seek power at any price is FINE


Scorning the rest of Canada in the political equivalent of a 3 year old running away to join the circus


IS NONSENSE!


How sad that you cannot think beyond your childish imagination!

Obviously not voting for the libs isnt working since all they need to form a government is ontario and quebec. They dont need the rest of Canada. Maybe it's about time to test that theory.

Phuk, separatism would never happen here in lieberal, socialist and communist BC. Look who the fools in BC who keep voting for. Does a separatist party in BC thinks that it will get the go ahead for BC to separate from the rest of Canada? No f'n way, Jose.

Come on, really? How dare a buffoon like you dare tell other people that they have a "childish imagination" when you act like one big childish immature buffoon yourself every time you open your beer spilling mouth? Some people's kids? Shocking indeed.

Don't be too sure about that. We may just vote Victoria and Vancouver off the island. The rest of us have had more than enough bullshit. Our politics is getting much like the Hunger Games.

This is the net effect when politicians take the position of playing regional politics... The Feds and Provinces are equally to blame but the underlying common variable is that it is the result of having spineless politicians that are solely interested in getting reelected as opposed to the best interests of their constituents
