Pay attention Lefties, if Alberta separates then Trump will support that by annexing Alberta and turning it into the 51st Sate.
Once that starts there will be a domino effect, Saskatchewan, BC and Manitoba will probably follow suit, and Quebec wont be far behind.

And what are the Eastern Canadian Libs gonna do about it?? Absolutely nothing.
Trump will back separation by using his military if need be, and Carney will fold faster than a Titanic deck chair :D

A few months ago only 20% of Albertans wanted to separate. Latest figure I heard on the news is now 36% (and growing each month).
Next 4 years under Carney are gonna be very interesting

Can't blame Alberta for wanting out.
They've been getting screwed over for far too long.
Last thing I'd ever want is to part of the USA.
But if these things happen I'll be too old to immigrate to a decent country.
Alberta's wealth was built on Ontario's and Quebec's taxes for years. Now they are rich because of that.

Quebec won't be far behind?? No way. Quebec despises this greedy idiot Trump and a big part of the US people.

You're missing a layer: Trump screwing up his economy is cratering world oil prices. Breakeven for oil sands is more than $50-$75 WTI


WTI is $60 and falling.


Alberta only makes money when oil prices are high. Between Trump and OPEC, there's potential for cheap oil prices for the next 5-7 years. Then AB will be looking for those east coast elites to put diesel in their F250's for them.

Even if this were to be true, Canada has made it's money back tenfold from Alberta.

Second, you are not understanding the logic on Equalization payments. It's to help balance wealth between less fortunate Provinces. Not for Quebec to freeload off.

that price would be much lower if there were no unreasonable federal government regulations
1: How might oil sands be able to get cheaper than places where it simply needs to be pumped out of the ground?

2: If I didn't have to meet that stupid building code, I'd be able to make houses cheaper than anyone!
