It should be a warning to the rest of the world... unfortunately Trump Derangement Syndrome is the best thing that ever happened to the globalist agenda. Countries like Canada are moving in step with China rather than our closest neighbor, ally and trading partner.
That alone should address the level of ignorance and naivety of the left.
This is typical Liberal mentality. The Carbon Tax doesn't affect them. So why would anyone else actually complain?
Of course the other vein on this the intent of the government to force smaller farms/ farmers to sell to larger conglomerates (ie: China) by pricing them out.
Of course people will scoff at me say "China isn't buying up our farmland" and on the surface they are correct. The farmland is being bought by a numbered company duly registered in Canada. China just happens to be a majority stakeholder.

So... the Alberta petition for a referendum on independence has reached the threshold for signatures... 177,000. That's a pretty low threshold in a province of 4 million. But here's the thing... some people are vehemently opposed to independence. They will undoubtedly do their utmost to thwart Albertans from voting yes to independence. Their reasoning is flawed. CPP? Quebec doesn't contribute, it has it's own pension plan. Why can't Alberta? The monies Alberta gets for infrastructure such as roads, schools, Healthcare... all that money actually comes from the taxes collected in Alberta and sent to Ottawa in the first place. This money doesn't magically appear in Ottawa. Alberta is the net contributer to the transfer payment program. The monies that each province receives from the federal government for these comes from Alberta taxpayers (amongst other contributors). RCMP? Easily replaced with the APP. What about the First Nations peoples?
Here's where it gets fun...
The First Nations peoples who are opposed to Alberta independence are either fools or intent on enjoying federal government gravy train of cash without accountability. The First Nations peoples in Alberta have the opportunity to negotiate new treaties with the independent Alberta government. This could mean better living conditions, including schools and Healthcare, more recognition of indigenous languages, culture, place names and contributions. More oversight on environmental issues surrounding oilfield development and pipelines. All of this is crucial for Alberta independence to succeed and the First Nations peoples here are set to win if they negotiate well and in good faith.
But remember... the vote for independence on the referendum isn't an absolute. It merely triggers talks about confederation and Alberta's place in it. The rest of Canada acts like they don't care, but in reality they are scared sh*tless! Albertans voting to remain in Canada only help to make the province look like a laughing stock. Alberta isn't taken seriously and won't be. Alberta will continue to be taken advantage of and ignored by the rest of Canada. Like an abused partner, we are left crawling back to the abuser. It's time we leave.
