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

    I listened to a political pundit describe the Premier of Alberta as threading the needle nicely, she gets major concessions for Alberta and the referendum puts the issue to bed for quite sometime. He also pointed out the PQ want to have another referendum once they get back into power.

I don't know how good our domestic intelligence is, but I suspect by the way things play out that it works reasonably well. Building the mandate to collect overseas intelligence, by data collection, cypher intelligence...

    We knew a couple, he made 160,000 a year and she worked as well. They were perpetually broke, as they had no ability to budget or save.

    The NDP loyalists would elect a goat, a long as it is a NDP goat. However a goat might be a valid alternative to Eby.

    Infantry Vehicles

    Fighting in your own backyard gives you access to all of the existing network/power infrastructure to build your network onto. If you are a expeditionary force you won't have that advantage.
