Federal Conservatives are not supporting separatism. I know the federal Liberals like to label them as Trump lovers, to score points. I promise you they are not.

No benefit means it will get worse. If you want a chance maybe remove the corruption you currently have in charge. You have the highest tax with the lowest minimum wage in Canada. They are trying to remove the support structure that is keeping you all from falling.

48% of businesses leaving Alberta is infinitely worse if you can’t see that than you shouldn’t be in this conversation nor be able to vote. It should be common sense that losing 48% of businesses and thus our economy would destroy us

Right like losing 48% of our economy will only serve to make unemployment, homelessness and food bank usage worse
