Tariffs are not new to Sask and Alta. In the past 15 years Sask has paid $1 Billion and Alta $1 Trillion to Ont. Quebec, Maritimes. And they call it "equalization"

Adding a half dozen Mississippis.

Yeah, Alberta and Saskatchewan are the only two provinces that would be a net benefit to the US. Most Canadian provinces are poorer than West Virginia.

Canada must start acting like a unified country if they are going to stay one country.

Eliminate interprovincial trade barrier. Stop blocking resource development in one part of the country to buy votes in another. Even the carbon tax is more punitive in provinces that do not vote for Mr Trudeau.

The prairie provinces have had their hands tied by the Trudeau government. I would want a new arrangement within or even without Canada if I was a resident of either province.

It's disgraceful how government after government has treated those two provinces.

Send us all Canadian bacon and maple syrup you have for free and we'll take in both provinces.  That is non-negotiable.

Quote from: Herman on March 03, 2025, 09:22:23 PMWhy should Alberta and Saskatchewan stay and try to keep fighting for Canada to want and respect our resources when the US already does.

We would be as rich as Alaska and North Dakota. No state income tax, huge sovereign wealth funds and annual royalty rebate cheques.

I am ready to become an American.

There are national divorce campaigns all over the West which are picking up steam.

Soft civil war....

True Dope has made Canada unrecognizable.

I would support my former province becoming an American state. I have investments in Canada. I would love their value to be in greenbacks rather than loonies.

Alberta can go first. They have four times our population.

Alberta and Saskatchewan contribute over $20 billion in fiscal transfers to Ottawa while getting nothing in return. They would be better off as US states.
