The quoted text is a strawman misrepresentation of "AB (or QC) will HAVE to do or account for this thing that other nations already do, which isn't being considered or accounted for in their presentation of the end state, and as such their models for that end state are painting an overly...

Pretty sure three people will happy because they own townhouse condos with viable rental suites. Last I checked that's not nothing. It's funny. I'm in favour of urban and suburban densification and have made no attempt to hide that. But in this specific case- I think the planning department got...

Of course. No one can outguess the market- except Brad of Army.ca. Imagine my initial post explicitly noting replacing our remaining imports with domestic as one of the safely viable avenues to pursue.

Key words "can" and "at a price people will pay". It's a commodities market, and we're already seeing (via Transmountain) that demand for our product at our price is not limitless. Spending billions to Dump supply into a specific subsection of a rather inelastic supply chain, in the face of a...

You'll note I didn't actually plan for a division scale deployment. The division would be tasked with force generating for an expanded Latvia commitment to make the Canadian lead MNB both more potent and more Canadian than not, plus have a wholly Canadian followup Bde. Pair the provincially...

Our investments need to be targeted at satisfying market demand, not providing unwanted supply. Maximalist dreams and "if we pump it someone will buy" are not business plans. Three avenues that seem very grounded in reality and readily available: Need to see if the LNG inquiries Trudeau...

Their policy doc also claims that they'll protect their retirees rightful entitlement to Canadian OAS

Heh. Based on the polling, a proposal to legislatively enshrine commitment to the CPP and confederation for a given time period (75 years?) could have ironic legs. If I were a devoutly "No" Albertan of means- setting up that dual referendum would be a hilarious method of campaigning

Moved here because as you say- napkin territory. 1 Armoured Regiment + 1 Mech Bn, vice Armoured + 2 Mech Bn's. Going full napkin: 1 Canadian Mechanized Division 1 CMBG - Edmonton LdSH - (Tank) 1PPCLI (LAV) current 1 CMBG CS and CSS assets and units @ 70% manning -Edmonton 2CMBG (Tank) -...

A broader look without my admittedly caustic commentary https://public.tableau.com/shared/JBJ4JMGP8?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link&:embed=y Important to note, a separate Alberta is ostensibly starting from the position of recouping a $20B net surplus, but: This infographic blurs the...

What about 1+1 to support non-Nato/ Non- LSCO deployment, supporting an established, long term framework for multinational Bde's and Division for NATO?

In your opinion, are they: #Believers who truly think the math will work out when business flows in and oil flows out and/or just completely out to lunch (Ignorant Idealists) Or Implying to Albertans that their entitlements and services will remain intact but with the benefit of flat 10% income...

Use of the word they/their rather than we/our in the quoted post might be a hint. Don't have to be from a place to be mad at them being fed lifechanging BS.

Neither the Prosperity Projects revenue structure nor it's mantra allow for them. I still see Albertan's as Canadians. If they want to end that, it's their prerogative- but they deserve to make the choice based on accurate information. They deserve to see a Pro Forma budget, an accounting of...

I think the "wait, you mean there's not going to be an Alberta Child Benefit/ Old Age Security?" is going to be scratch/record stop moment with some emotional and visceral reactions. My thoughts keep coming back to this article...

Completely? No. But if they want to succeed you'd expect them to at least try an keep the colour close to the lines as to not expose themselves to obvious hole punching/ momentum deflating criticisms. I think it's a given that they'll get the signatures. But I think that similar to Smith's APP...

Agreed completely- hence my anger at the salesman pitching exactly that to get votes dishonestly. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/alberta-separatist-group-releases-proposed-referendum-question-plans-to-push-for-vote-this-year/ar-AA1EE5Cm?ocid=BingNewsSerp

They don't- unless you add the third fact of doing so while also promising to reduce net taxation by upwards of 50% vice the status quo.

Keep reading. There is no doubt a path to a viable, independent, sovereign Alberta. It might even come out a little ahead on the margin. BUT- said state is not viable if it forgoes collecting the currently Canadian Federal Income tax for itself and further lowers provincial taxes- unless it...

Some rough numbers: BLUF: APP is selling an absolute fairy tale, the numbers don't work. Either they know that- or they don't. From the Provinces 2025-2026 Estimate: $74B in total Revenenue - ~28.8B from Provincial Tax, 17B Resource Royalty*, 13.3B from Federal Government** *Based on WTI at...
