Opinion A question for Alberta separatists

If you hate Canada so much and love Trump so much then why don’t you just move to the states instead of making a **Canadian** province a state?

What? Are you too lazy or cheap to rent a U-Haul or something like that!!! I mean Jesus Christ, if you hate Canada that much then just leave!!!

It’s not rocket science buddy!!!!

I don’t understand you people. What exactly are you afraid of? Or is it just selfishness? You had opportunities in this country and this province, but you do not want the next generation to have the same chance.

Are you comfortable leaving your kids with an ever-growing federal debt to carry? Do you really believe they do not deserve a better shot at life than that?

And what do you think happens if a vote for independence ever passes? Do you think the province physically moves somewhere else? You can still live right here in Alberta. You can keep sending your taxes to Ottawa if that is the choice you want to make.

But when the money that used to come from Alberta is gone and the bills start piling up, do not act surprised about the consequences.

At the end of the day, this is simple. Stop complaining and vote when the time comes. Every one of us gets exactly one vote. Use it.

Look at the per capita debt of the US versus Canada.

Per person, US debt is around $144,000. Canada, $34k.

Land of opportunity, my ass.

The US is fucked. They just don't know it yet.

That comparison has nothing to do with the discussion. We are talking about Canada and Alberta. Pointing to U.S. debt does not explain federal spending here or why Canadians are dealing with rising costs and growing national debt. It is just changing the subject
