All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

If you want to pretend that Canada is governed by substantially the same ministry pursuing substantially the same policy, fill your boots.

To be fair their policy in transparency seems unchanged.

Sure, same as any majority government of any stripe. In present circumstances I’m more concerned with movement on the economic development, natural resources, national defence, and international relations files.

That feels like we’re normalizing the erosion of transparency. And that transparency seems pretty important when it comes to files like economic development, natural resources, national defence, and international relations.

More a matter of acknowledging it eroded a few decades ago. Do I like it? No. Do I think the other guy would do better? Not a chance. If neither variable presents a different output, my focus shifts to other variables.

A few decades ago? We deal with the here and now. It matters now. You don't trust the other guy? Well, lets put it to a vote and see how we ALL feel.

When you day other guy do you mean Poilievre or the CPC?

A vote like an election? Bold strategy, Cotton…

Truth is, the LPC would win and most likely get a legit majority. But.... (No idea why Carney doesn't strike while the iron is hot but I am thankful)

I’m thankful too. I said some months back that the political apparatchiks supporting him must have been screaming at him to call one. I remain glad he didn’t. I’m glad he’s kept working Parliament as it, and I have no time for those who say he hasn’t earned it legitimately.

I will say it again. Carney needs at least 2 years if not 3 years for us to decide if he is the leader Canada needs. Carney says adieu to carbon capture and speeds oil pipelines right up, man, he goes up in points in my books.

I am very happy about defence so far (although the fighter jet replacement will be an interesting sideshow) and I actually fear the CPC will cut some of the defence spending down (can not say for sure but a hunch).

Sure, same as any majority government of any stripe at any level. In present circumstances I’m more concerned with movement on the economic development, natural resources, national defence, and international relations files.

FTFY

In my experience, anyone promising the “most transparent government ever” ends up making it the most secretive government ever, only to be outdone by their successors, who promised more transparency.

Dear APP, can you not make your ads so obviously AI generated? Or atleast proof read? This is embarrassing

The more I see of Mr.Rath the likelihood of his being able to stand trial is ...interesting
Because to quote the t-shirt . " Something's just not right about the boy ?"

Interesting poll from Research Co.

Fewer Than 1/4 of Voters in Alberta Side with Separation

Stephen Harper and Mark Carney are the most trusted sources on the issue of Alberta seceding from Canada.

researchco.ca

In the online survey of a representative sample of likely voters in Alberta, 74% say they would vote for the province to remain in Canada, while 22% would cast a ballot in favour of the Government of Alberta commencing the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada

More than half say they “definitely” or “probably” trust former Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper (51%) and current Canadian prime minister Mark Carney (also 51%). The rating is lower for current federal Official Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre (47%), current provincial Official Opposition leader Naheed Nenshi (46%), former Alberta premier Rachel Notley (40%), current Alberta premier Danielle Smith (37%) and former Alberta premier Jason Kenney (32%).

Fewer than a third of likely voters in Alberta trust professional hockey player Connor McDavid (26%), leader of the federal New Democratic Party (NDP) Avi Lewis (20%), Progressive Tory Party of Alberta leader Peter Guthrie (17%), Wildrose Loyalty Coalition leader Paul Hinman (13%), Alberta Prosperity Project co-founder and lawyer Jeffrey Rath (also 13%), Alberta Prosperity Project CEO Mitch Sylvestre (also 13%), social media personality Marty Belanger (11%) or Republican Party of Alberta leader Cameron Davies (10%) on the issue of Alberta separating from Canada.

More than two-in-five likely voters in Alberta (43%) believe an independent Alberta should rely on the Canadian dollar as its currency. Fewer would prefer to establish a new currency (22%) or adopt the American dollar (16%).

Just over four-in-five likely voters in Alberta (81%) think a sovereign Alberta should maintain a publicly funded universal health care system, while half (50%) would like a sovereign Alberta to reintroduce the death penalty for murder.

Fewer likely voters in Alberta would welcome other ideas after independence, such as maintaining a Goods and Services Tax (GST) (43%), allowing Albertans to own and carry handguns for self-defence (36%), making marijuana illegal (31%), making same-sex marriage illegal (27%) or making abortion illegal (24%).
