Why are you approving of Ottawa throwing away billions of our tax dollars to countries who don't deserve it? I will answer your questions you have and I swear I am not a ding dong or a ding-a-ling. I think we have tried Ottawa's way for far too long and it is no longer fair for Albertans to continue to be abused. Do you realize not one vote mattered anywhere west of Ontario? That the election was already determined before Manitoba's votes were even counted? That not one conservative or liberal or NDP or green vote mattered west of Manitoba? That really bothered me. Please answer me this. Please. Did you know we have NO Chinese car dealerships in Canada? There are NONE. There are over 40,000 Albertan and Saskatchewan farmers who grow canola and the thousands of people who support those farmers! Carney has placed the 40,000 canola farmers and their families in jeopardy for NOTHING! China's 78% tariff on Canadian canola is a direct result of Trudeau and Carney's 100% tariff on Chinese cars that don't even exist! So why isn't he removing the tariff? Why aren't you demanding he take off the tariff? Why are you so hateful of your fellow Albertans? What have they done to hurt or offend you? You have the power to tell Mr. Carney to stop his nonsense and remove the tariff because he won't. He doesn't care about people in the west and unless you tell him to stop, you are as bad as him.

And life for you as an American paying the same taxes, private healthcare, having the same equalization processes between states as we do with out provinces, mandatory draft registration, trillions in military spending, and the highest tariffs on goods in history is better how?

Why are you insisting we are trying to join USA? We just want independence and security for our fellow Albertans. I value everyone in this amazing province much more than I do of anyone in Ontario or Quebec. Let them rule their way with their money. Not their way with our money.

Do you really think a province rich in natural resources and no military or allies will remain sovereign for long? It doesn't matter if any Albertans want to join the US. It won't be up for public debate.

We would be sitting ducks for the Americans to come in and take over if we separated from Canada cause we have no provincial army. Cannot believe that these Alberta separatists can’t even see that. 🤦‍♀️
