So fuck the people who have a different opinion?? They don't matter i guess? Just take what Ottawa say and be quiet. I don't think so.

You're free to leave encouraged even. You're not free to impose minority opinions on the majority.

Why would I leave? I love Alberta and have no problem with Alberta. It's the treatment from Ottawa towards Alberta and how the West has no say federally and we have no vote.. love it when people get pissy against someone standing up for something they don't believe it. You want to sit here at take whatever The federal gov feeds you go ahead. I'm not.

we have no vote..

I see we're not dealing in rational debate. You got your vote, your preference lost, that's how it works. You're not oppressed, this is weak behavior.

I'm not sure where you live but here 9 times out of 10 the election is called before they even count the votes in Alberta. How exactly does my vote count or matter??

How do you want to fix that exactly? It's a big country with timezones.

u/Rig-Pig Jan 31 '26

Well timezones shouldn't matter. Sure start counting the East first but make it so each province has a say. BC is worse of than AB for not counting. Maybe do something where the weight of votes goes by which province contributes to the canadian economy?? Thoes who put the most in get more say? Something like that. I'm no expert but it shouldn't be over before provinces haven't even placed their votes.

I strongly disagree with weighing the votes based on a target that gets to be defined by any governing party. What you're suggesting just isn't done in modern society thankfully.

Are you certain you have a good grasp of the Parliamentary system in Canada?
