The Defining Moment
Taken from "This Canada".
Who do you want to run you life? You or the State?
Do you serve the Liberal State, or should government serve you?
Do you want the state, the federal government, to dictate what services you should receive, whether you are eligible for those services, where those services are provided, and when those services are provided... if they are even available where you live?
[...]
Do you want a Liberal State that serves its own first and, if there's any time or money left over, uses it to regulate your life and extract more money from your pocket... all the while saying things to please all the people, even if it involves deception, broken promises and sometimes outright lies... including lies and insults to our friend, neighborbour and trading partner (80%+) to the south?
Or do you want a government that is honest, will clean and prosecute up the corruption that riddles Ottawa, that will put your interest first, and will take action to stop Ottawa playing region against region, that will sit down with Quebec to seriously deal with their needs, and that will burn a new path for Canada and Canadians in trade, jobs, healthcare, personal safety on the streets, taking care of the needy and the sick, and strengthening our place in the world.
It's an excellent post that makes a lot of sense. What really caught my attention however was one of the comments:

I believe that what you are talking about here is completely alien to most Canadians. The rot goes too deep. In fact, I am actively encouraging Canadians, particularly those in Ontario, to vote for the Liberal party.
You see, I want Albertans to wake up and realize that Ontario actually approves of the corrupt nanny state. That way, Alberta can abandon the fantasy that the Canada to which weare were so loyal is no more, and can get on with the business of separation.
I'm with Ed. Mostly, anyway.
I can't encourage others to vote for the libs although a very large part of me hopes that they do.
A Liberal majority would invariably ensure Alberta separationtion. A Conservative majority would only prolong the process. Neither choice, "socialist" or "socialist-lite" are acceptable in Alberta anymore.
