No a cop was not shot in Baltimore, but your anti-Cop rhetoric is all over that thread.

Also all over the "Blue Live Matter Thread."

All I get from your anti-cop BS is that your an ex-con, a jail house lawyer. Eh Thomas?

Brains aren't everything. In fact in your case they're nothing.

You should quit while you're behind.

Well we know you wouldn't vote for Alberta separation, you would have to start drug testing for your welfare check.

You are proof that evolution CAN go in reverse Cannuck.

Hehehehe...you're so silly. You just don't know when to stop. Face it. The more you post the more stupid you look.

It's his go-to move. Anybody points out his lies, he starts spewing hate and insults based on "facts" that he makes up in what passes for his brain. He thinks aggression compensates for stupidity.

Good, can't justify your lies, go straight to dull-witted taunts.

It's what you're capable of, I suppose.

U.S. forecaster Peter Zeihan, a former geopolitical analyst with the security firm Stratfor, has spent his career trying to predict the future of tumultuous states —

Nah....................better to be a small fish in a good neighbourhood than a big fish in a bad neighbourhood. (comparatively speaking)

Oh I'm crushed, my feelings are so hurt because of what some random idiot troll on the World Wide Web thinks of me. :lol:
Don't be silly. You lack the basal intelligence to be crushed.

It's OK, Boomster. Somebody's gotta anchor the random-distribution curve.

Boosting working conditions in the east would save them moving west, it would still create a demand for products from the west. If the east gets snowbound there will be more than a few people looking for warmer places to live.

It's not like separatist ideas are new to Canada. The western Canada Concept has been around since I was a kid. The idea of the 4 western provinces forming their own republic is enticing to many who see eastern Canada as nothing but a huge drain on our wallets. There was also ideas bandied about of BC and AB joining the US and various other suggestions. Canada is a land of haves and have nots, as such there will always be resentment and talk of separation divided along east/west lines. Personally I would entertain the idea of separation under certain circumstances I'm just not sure if becoming an American would ever get the popularity required to move the idea forward. The republic of western Canada is the one most likely to get the best traction but even then, with all the easterners that now live in the west, even that might not get far.



Oh heck yes it's been bandied about many times. The one proposed, if I recall correctly it was going to be called Cascadia and include Alberta, BC, Washington and Oregon (can't remember if SK or Montana were included - don't think so). At any rate, among those who would participate, the total amount of GNP was quite high and, as such, could potentially do quite well on its own. Don't know whatever happened to the concept.


I liked it for the name i.e. where do you live? Oh, I live in Cascadia LOL

I guess Cannuck, you're like many Carpet Baggers living off the Alberta Social Services who are to stupid to learn about Alberta history.
We should set a holiday for the day you left Alberta.

There is a saying that goes like this, 'Go west as far as you can but don't cross the Rockies.'
