Seperation Through the Lens of an Angry Albertan.
Seems as though the recent poll confirming widespread discontent and seperatist notions among westerners, has had a number of Lieberal loyalists sitting up and taking notice. One such 'booger' by the name of JimBobby has been chewing his cud over this whole affair, and has a couple of questions. Let's see if I can clear this up for him:
When the damn separatists in Q-beck agitate, it’s all ’bout culture an’ language an’ such. When the AlienAlberts agitate, it’s all ’bout money. Money. Money. Money. There’s sum greedy bastards who can’t think o’ nuthin’ else an’ are willin’ t’ sell their patriotism t’ the highest bidder.
~ Interesting that JB immediately dismisses Quebec's seperation ideals due to culture and language, but lambastes Alberta for wanting a stronger say in relation to the financial contribution we make to the rest of the country. Hypocrisy. He also seems to conveniently forget about the recent 5 billion dollar refund doled out to Ontario, while the province that really deserved the refund (Alberta), helplessly watched from the sidelines. Let's put this in some perspective:
-Ontario contains 40% of the population/ Alberta contains 10% of the population.
-Ontario contributed 23 billion/ Alberta contributed 11 billion
-Ontario gets 5 billion dollar rebate giving them a grand total of 18 billion contributed for a population 4X the size of Alberta's.
And WE are the ones being vilified as greedy?
If the Alberty separatists was fightin’ fer culture, they might be worthy o’ sum respect. When they’re jest lookin’ fer more bucks in their pockets, they get pitied an’ scorned like the prostitutes they are.
~Again we see typical eastern Liberal ignorance as JB dismisses Alberta's unique and proud cultural heritage as irrelevant. Alberta's ideals and strength truly set us apart from every other province in this country. Our strong Conservative culture is worth preserving and nurturing and this will not happen within a country run by the Liberal elitist mindset whereby the casual typification and dismissal of any ideology west of Ontario is the norm. While dollars play a distinct role in Alberta's seperation agenda, culture plays just as large of a role.
Jest suppose these numbnutses could ever convince enuff Alberty voters t’ separate –
- Is the sovereign nation of Alberty gonna print it’s own money? Any idee on how the Alberty dollar’ll do on the world money markets?
~An eastern lieberal shill wants to call Albertans that want greater soveriegnty-'numbnuts'.
Now that we can all see what many easterners think of Alberta, I'm sure the seperation movement should only be strengthened in it's resolve.
In response to the lib automaton:
Yes, Alberta would print it's own money. Alberta would do much better on the world market on it's own than within Canada's corrupt liberally mandated confines. The US would be more than eager to help a like minded Conservative country on the road to it's independence.
- Is Alberty gonna build up it’s own military? How’re the Merkins gonna react to a new national army on its border?
~Alberta would build a security force capable of stopping any foreign aggressor. Because Alberta would consult heavily with the Americans, they should not be too concerned rather, they would welcome the help.
- Will every border crossin’ be like Windsor/Detroit or Ft. Erie/Buffalo? How much will it cost t' build all them checkpoints an' hire all o' them border guards?
~Every border crossing would need checkpoints. Of course a practical solution to this would be to include BC and Saskatchewan in the seperation concept. If they were unwilling, we would negotiate right of passage agreements and if this failed, supply the checkpoints and border guards as needed.
- How ’bout tariffs an’ import-export duties? Nafta? Cafta?
Alberta would immediately eliminate indirect taxes and tariffs on farm inputs as well as freight rate discrimination. Nafta would be upheld.
- Is the sovereign nation of Alberty gonna accept immigrants from Sasky or Newfie or Montana? Is Canadee gonna accept immigrants from Alberty?
~Of course. Immigrants will be accepted with open arms according to Alberta's own, distinct immigration policy. It will probably not be as inclusive as Canada's immigration policy whereby terrorists and criminals are given easy access, but it would be fair. Canada will accept immigrants from Alberta, yes. Hell, they were quietly accepting draft dodgers from the US....what do you 'think' they'd do?
- Is Alberty gonna send a ambassador t’ the UN? How ’bout diplomats fer all the countries in the world? Got that in the budget?
~This is a possible scenario where alternate methods would be arranged depending on manpower capabilities. Many ambassadors offer little value pursuant to the amount they are paid. This would need to be reevaluated and alternate methods for international relations may need to be found.
- How’s Alberty gonna do tradin’ on the world markets when she’s a landlocked nation with a population of 'bout 3 million?
~Through elimination of freight rates and corresponding fuel taxes,etc and through right of passage agreements with BC, Alberta could effectively operate as though they were not landlocked. Besides, how much of Alberta's domestic goods are transported by sea? Not a big chunk......
- How ’bout all the existin’ federal real estate like post office buildin’s an’ army camps? Is Alberty plannin’ t’ buy them from TROC or do they reckon we’ll jest hand ‘em over fer free?
~As we've already contributed more than enough through transfer payments to cover the cost of these buildings, we would have no problem taking them as is, where is. You'll hand them over but it most certainly wasn't free.....
- How ’bout all o’ the federal gummint employees workin’ in Alberty? Is Alberty gonna give ‘em all jobs?
~They will be afforded the same opportunities that are offered to most corporate staff. They can transfer to another province or they can apply for the myriad of government of Alberta jobs that would be available. They would be given first priority, as they are already Albertans.
- How ’bout the First Nations? Is Alberty gonna honour treaties signed by Canajuns? What if the First Nations wanna separate from Alberty?
~As quoted from the Seperation Party of Alberta: A Separation Party of Alberta government will negotiate fairly and openly with all First Nations and Metis in Alberta for their right to self-government, ownership of resources on native lands (subject to royalty payments) and the right of every individual aboriginal person to own their land within the reservation. We will establish a First Nations and Metis Committees to deal with all matters pertaining to the foregoing including the settlement of all native land claims, all of which is subject to approval by the Legislature. As these matters are settled there will be no further need for the government to make any further payments to First Nations and Metis in our province.
- What about the patriotic federalist Alberts who vote “No” in a referendumb? Do they get Alberty cityzenship or do they get deported t’ Canadee? Is 50% +1 enuff t’ separate? How’s the new nation gonna fare if 49% don’t wanna new nation?
~Ask Quebec.
- How ’bout the Canadee Pension Plan? Anybuddy reckon Canadee’ll wanna finance pensions in sum new foreign country?
~Not sure but I'll do my damndest to find out the answer. My guess though, is that there would be a buyout by the Canadian government paying off in lump sums what has been contributed by Albertans. It's our money afterall, no matter who is currently holding it for us.
- How ’bout the “stoopid” charter o’ rights Ezra an’ his bunch don’t like? Will the cityzens o’ Alberty know whether they get any rights before they vote t’ break up our home an’ native land?
~There should be a referendum called on the implementation of any charter, before it's granted admission into the halls of power. This is the democratic way, and this would be the Alberta way. Referendums would be the norm, and occur as frequently as Sunday sermon. People in charge of their government. Rule by the majority. Democracy the way it was intended........
FREEDOM!
