#Wexit?

I’m as far west as you can get, and let me reassure the rest of Canada, this is NOT a thing in “the west”.

Hopefully not, it would be a disaster for BC.

Well, yeah.   Every province is stronger being a part of Canada.

A referendum on what? Exactly what will Alberta do to a 100% federal program that it has no control over?

I think it's Kenney's job to use any leverage he can to get the best outcomes for his province from the federal gov.  AB has taken it up the butt for too long while carrying the country on its back.  Even if he's not serious, he loses nothing if Trudeau caves and doesn't call his bluff.  Even if his proposal isn't even doable it doesn't hurt to sabre-rattle.

They accidentally have oil.  Oh those poor people...  having oil on federal crown land and having to pay taxes on all those billions they make from it.   So harsh.   

Envy?

No.  It’s a great thing!  People I know from here have worked there.

But whining and sniveling about paying tax on large sums of oil money is sheer stupidity.

They aren't whining and snivelling, they want to be able to get market price for what they produce, like every other Canadian.

#wexit bots are leading the movement.

On Tuesday, CTV News Edmonton received statistics from H+K Strategies that suggest Twitter activity was started by bots and content aggregators. While not all of the accounts were new, the organization said they have all advanced other conservative messages in the past.
"So clearly bots were used to fuel and spur the initial discussion, artificiall inflating the engagement and gaming Twitter's trending function," a company spokesperson said.

Well there it is! Captain Election Reform won the House and yet lost the Popular vote.

I'm not bitching, he won the GTA riding he needed. Scheer was not ready to become PM.

But I hope no Liberals are here today to Spike the football. That election was not a ringing endorsement for JT.

Conservatives who don't care about electoral reform or the representativeness of the house shouldn't be complaining about it. The seat counts do not reflect the way people vote and until electoral reform happens, will not reflect the way people vote. Our House of Representatives are not very representative.
