Title: Why We Have Had it With Canada and are Seeking a Divorce
Post by: Herman on June 09, 2025, 06:51:16 PM
This was written by a gal named Kim Rose after returning from a visit to family in Ontario.

Why does Alberta want to separate?

Answer: 
The primary reason is taxation without representation. Alberta continues to pay millions of dollars to provinces like Ontario and Quebec without equal representation at the table in Ottawa. Would you want to give a large portion of your pay cheque without a voice as to how you spend your money?  Imagine you work 40 hours a week, bring home 500 dollars to have your mom take a huge percentage give it to your brothers and sisters and you don't even get to choose an item for dinner at the grocery store?  This may be a very simplistic view but it is very similar.

Alberta continues to pay large equalization payments and yet due to the skewed way our electoral system is set up we have very few seats to sit in Ottawa. Alberta holds 9.6% of the seats yet we PAY over 9 billion dollars a year in payments and receive ZERO in equalization payments and Ontario holds 34% of the seats and pays ZERO but RECEIVES 546 MILLION dollars?  Why should a fairly fiscally (we aren't perfect) responsible Province continue to be the "bank" for the province in Canada with the most votes while our voices are not welcomed nor heard? Why are we constantly being asked to contribute as an adult but forced to sit at the kids table?  We are a province without a sales tax and yet we still manage to support a huge portion of the population of Canada.

So please when you think Albertans are whiny rednecks, just remember Alberta pays a lot of bills to keep the lights on in this country and all we are asking for is fair treatment but we feel the rest of the nation just wants to keep their hands out and neglect the hard working people of our province. Many of us do want a Canada that includes Alberta, but unless things change, many of us will be marking our referendum ballot with a very strong yes. Not for separation but FOR Alberta!  I may have been born and raised in Ontario but I am now a true blue Albertan with dusty boots and yes I am a proud whiny redneck.

Kim is right, but it is only part of the reason. We prairie folk ain't allowed to develop our own resources and make our folks richer like other provinces can.

Ottawa, and I mean the Liberals steps on the exclusive jurisdictions of Edmonton and Regina. They do not do that to Toronto, Quebec City or St Johns. Just our prairie provinces. It's unconstituional, but the Liberals don't care.

Ottawa's new law for provinces opting out of pension plan.
Freedom is closing doors on Alberta and Saskatchewan.
If passed, Bill C-387 would require a province leaving the CPP to receive support from two-thirds of the country's premiers..
Now you see why the 51st state makes sense

Canada is a small market...
 Alberta's exports represent 53.1% of its Gross Domestic Product ($344.7 billion for 2024).
Given Alberta's population of 4.9 million people, its total CDN$183.2 billion in 2024 exports translates to roughly $37,500 for every resident.
** The following list shows the top 10 customers that purchased 96.4% worth of the total value of products exported from the province of Alberta during 2024:
•  United States: CDN$162.1 billion (88.5% of Alberta's total exports)
• mainland China: $6.7 billion (3.7%)
• Japan: $2.7 billion (1.5%)
• South Korea: $1.2 billion (0.6%)
• Mexico: $792.9 million (0.4%)
• Peru: $771.6 million (0.4%)
• Singapore: $668.5 million (0.4%)
• India: $620.1 million (0.3%)
• Hong Kong: $553.9 million (0.3%)
• Netherlands: $523.9 million (0.3%)

Public debt is bad. Unlike the US, we will have to pay it back.

But, what alarms me the most is how indebted Canadians are. We carry the highest consumer debt in the world.

Executive summary:
An independent Alberta would reshape its fiscal and environmental landscape by retaining $68-75 billion in annual federal tax contribution, yielding a net gain of $44-47 billion after accounting for $22-26 billion in federal transfer.

Combined with provincial revenues of $74.1 billion (2025-26) and an Alberta Pension Plan (APP) generating $23.34 billion annually from a $183.7 billion asset base, total revenue reach $142.1-149.1 billion.
Expenditures, including $75.3 billion for provincial services and $22.7- 31.6 billion to replace federal service ( e.g. defense, policing, Indigenous service), total $98-106.9 billion, with one-time setup costs of $2.8-5.7 billion.

This results in a fiscal surplus of $29.4 -48.3 billion (excluding setup) or $23.6-45.5 billion ( including setup), enabling significant tax reductions, infrastructure investment, and debt reduction.

The Alberta premier knows there are many people who voted for her UCP, the party she leads, the party governing Alberta, who would cast a Yes vote for Alberta leaving Canada if they had a referendum ballot in their hand today.

They are not all separatists.

More than a few are just sick and tired of Liberal Ottawa not listening to Alberta, not taking Alberta seriously, not dealing with long-standing legitimate grievances.

They would vote Yes as the last and loudest attempt to get through the thick skulls of those calling the shots down east in the Carney cocoon.

"I hope he takes the separatist sentiment as seriously as I do," says Smith on Tuesday in Calgary.

Yes, Smith does say the reason for the rise in separatist feeling is because of bad policies cooked up in Liberal Ottawa and thrown in Alberta's face.

She mentions the bad policies every time she talks to Carney. She tells him to get rid of them and investors will invest and take on major projects.

Crickets from Carney.

While Canadian media remains silent, CNN just published an in-depth feature on Alberta's independence movement (last week they made the headlines in the Wall Street Journal), showcasing the growing momentum to a global audience.

"In oil-rich Alberta, where a movement for independence from Canada appears to be gathering steam..." the article begins, highlighting the rallies, the supporters, and momentum.

CNN reports that "a third of Albertans currently support independence" - a number that continues to climb as more citizens recognize the possibilities of sovereignty.

It was tolerable when Canada was prosperous and free. We used to have GDP/capita equal to the US. Now it's way less.

Quality immigrants don't want to settle permanently in Canada. Young Canadians and immigrants already here are leaving for greener pastutes like I did.

Oh ya. Having a pool really helps.

I'm still getting the flu more often than I did in Canada. Every building has the AC blasting and then you go outside in the humid air.
 
We only turn on the AC at night. The rest of the time we use fans only.

I thought it might be less humid in Singapore this time of year but according to you, it's not.

At the top of Australia we have 2 seasons, one is the dry and the other is the wet season... both are hot but the wet season is humidity from hell. It's also called Troppo. Or going Troppo and it means the wet season sends people troppo or Mad.

There are more germs around in hot climates.... keep plenty of Isocol (rubbing alcohol antiseptic) around and any cut skin put some on.

To give an analogy that caskur can relate to, Canada is like New Zealand. That country brings in a lot of immigrants relative to it's population. Most leave when they get a NZ passport. Too many NZ born young people do the same. Most go to Australia, just like most Canadians that leave choose the US.

You'd be surprised; Ottawa in the summertime it isn't uncommon to see temperatures in the mid thirties. Coupled with the humidity (there's a lot of surface water in the Ottawa Valley) and it's comparable to 42 in Melbourne in terms of comfort. You get an hour or more daylight in the summer there, that goes a long way to heating things up.

The winters are something else, especially on sunny days. With no cloud cover to trap the heat, it can regularly drop to 20-30 degrees below freezing, with wind chill making it feel more like minus 40. I've managed jeans and a tee shirt at minus five with no wind chill for ten minutes without trouble, I've also made the mistake of looking out the window, seeing blue skies and forgetting my parka on the way out the door. It... well, it takes your breath away, that much I can promise you. Rugging up is really the only defence you have and even then, a stiff wind and that chill goes straight to the marrow. And it can fucken hurt like a motherfucker.

And that's in a relatively temperate part of Canada. I shudder to think how bad it must get out in the prairies or the maritimes, never mind heading up to the Artic circle. Appreciate that and you also appreciate the kind of ratbag animal that turds like Carney and Trudeau are for insisting on green energy solutions where fossil fuel makes far more sense.

Canada has two seasons too... "winter" and "construction". Because you can't do a lot of building when the ground is frozen solid. Swing a mattock at the ground in winter and it's akin to trying to pickaxe your way through concrete. And speaking of concrete, that stuff gets brittle and rots if left unprotected (as does terracotta) so if you've any planters it's generally a good idea to store them in a barn or a garage.

You would like the sunsets I think. Less orange than you are used to, more of a pinkish/blue colour cast. And the autumn.... mile after mile of red and golden leafed maple trees. No photo does it justice, though I know that wouldn't stop you from trying.

But a word of advice; if by any chance you get to travel there before the liberals well and truly fuck it up, try to avoid the city snow melts at the beginning of spring. Black snow turning to brown slush, revealing the months of accumulated trash and dogshit. It's not the greatest of experiences, lol.

I've heard just about everything is more expensive in NZ than Australia. And NZ wages are lower than Australia too because their productivity is lower.

That is Canada compared to the US. It is more expensive to live here and we have lower salaries because our productivity is so much lower.

Tourism does not butter Canada's bread. Resource extraction does and the Liberals are blocking that.

Hey you Canadian Haters, what's the real reason Alberta Separatists want to leave Canada?

So they can join the United States?

America is $37 Trillion in debt. No wonder the MAGA supporters encourage Alberta to separate. Because the USA is broke & the only way the can create another American century is to obtain a cheap & plentiful source of oil.

Danielle Smith is willing to sell out Alberta to these interests to benefit a few. Not Albertans or especially Canada.

I am considering living in Florida year round instead of six months a year when I retire. And I am considering moving that date earlier by a couple of years.

I really like what the Sunshine state is doing in terms of freedom, spending and taxation. I don't really like much of anything fake conservative Doug Ford is doing. His opponents in the last provincial election were even worse.

Most of all I like that US states are asserting their jusrisdiction even when the Dems are in power and trying to usurp state's rights. Canada's premiers with the exception of Scott Moe and Danielle Smith seem happy to hand over provincial autonomy to Ottawa.

What would your family do with an extra $11,240 every year?

That's what the average Alberta household would save through tax reductions if we became independent.

The math is simple: Alberta sends $68-75 BILLION (just in federal taxes) to Ottawa annually but gets only $22-26 billion back.

Not only would independence mean lower taxes, it would mean lower pension contributions, reduced tuition costs, and enhanced healthcare.

Ottawa has blocked new pipelines (C–69), canceled multiple oil and gas projects, capped oil and gas production, and banned ships needed to carry Alberta resources to various overseas markets (C-48; Smith, 2025).  A list of the cancelled projects can be found in the article, "Billions lost in ditched resource projects," (Resource Works, 2025) where they cite the loss of $670 Billion since 2015 (Canada Action, 2024).

Yet, the expectancy for Alberta to still contribute the same amount of money to Ottawa for personal income tax and Equalization payments remains the same.

Assuming all of the above were true, the only reason you could expect me to believe that it would be political suicide for them to openly support secession would be if Alberta and Saskatchewan were largely comprised of retards that would happily vote against what they had been openly clamouring for.

Herman will know more about this than I will.

My understanding is that almost all of the separatist support on the prairies is in rural areas. And it's often soft support. If Carney would reverse some Trudeau era rules as well as his own consensus rule and we got a private company to build a pipeline to tidewater, support for separation would drop.

Quote from: DKG on July 25, 2025, 10:24:05 AMIf Carney would reverse some Trudeau era rules as well as his own consensus rule and we got a private company to build a pipeline to tidewater, support for separation would drop. 
A big "if", particularly given recent passage of certain bills, but no matter. While libtard support is traditionally vested in population centers. it has been my understanding that more people in the aforementioned provinces favour a release from all ties to Wellington Street (and all that entails) than the group of political masochists that don't. And do feel free to correct me if I am in error.

Moreover, the practice of lying to the public and getting fucked over for ones troubles is getting old. Especially when it is hitting the hip pocket so overtly as it is in AB and SK. I would (and have) argued that grossly obscene equalization payments in return for fuck all remuneration in infrastructure that would reward the electorate has got to be a pretty sizeable bone sticking in the craw of most people out that way. More so when so many are finding their backs to the wall. Then again I have noted that the lion's share of Canadians are too damn nice for their own good, preferring instead to go along to get along. Meaning that Alberta's and Saskatchewan's dreams of a better outcome are doomed to Fail. I believe Herman and I have had discussions where I have alluded to this. I know I have expressed skepticism about the alacrity of both provinces making good on cutting their ties to the onerous arrangement currently in play with the federal government, something which you appear to be assuring me is the case.

It's a damn shame, because if any provinces could leave the jurisdiction of Canada at large AND make a fist of it post-secession, it would be Alberta and Saskatchewan. And I will not sugarcoat it, the only way it's going to happen is if a majority of voters in that area stop pussyfooting the fuck around and start acting (and voting) in their best interests.

Otherwise this whole independence schtick is as doomed to fail as Quebec's was.

Which would suck no end of ass, but there it is. I love a good underdog fight, hell... America loves a good underdog fight. And putting ones faith in mealy mouthed fuckwads that cannot openly commit to a popular cause is NOT the way for an underdog to come out on top. As I said back at the beginning, the provinces and their peoples will go a long way to promoting themselves as a valuable inclusion to the US if they actually fight for it. Not rolling over for the representatives they voted for to sashay on in and treat them and their wishlists like doormats.

The lord helps those that help themselves. Or (as Frank Zappa once wrote), the meek shall inherit nothing.

Right now, the average Albertan making $78,000 a year takes home just $44,400 after federal taxes. And that's before factoring in federal transfers, regulatory costs, and decaying economic conditions.

Canadians now spend more on taxes than they do on food, housing, and clothing combined — according to the Fraser Institute's 2024 Canadian Consumer Tax Index.

Under a restructured, independent Alberta model, you could keep $70,000 or more of that same income and we could go on to eliminate income taxes completely within 5 years.

No Ottawa grab. No bloated bureaucracy. Just a flat, local tax — and real control over your future.

Not wishful thinking — a realistic plan backed by Alberta's wealth.
Independence means more freedom, more opportunity, and keeping what's yours.

Alberta's separation question, unlike Quebec's, is crystal clear

Whatever one thinks of Alberta's separation movement, the referendum question it seeks to pose to Albertans is a vast improvement over those confronting voters in the 1995 and 1980 Quebec referenda on separation.

Proposed by Mitch Sylvestre, chair of the separatist Alberta Prosperity Project, it seeks a "YES" or "NO" answer to the question: "Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall become a sovereign country and cease to be a province in Canada?"

That would appear to satisfy the first requirement of the federal Clarity Act passed by Parliament in 2000, incorporating the legal advice of the Supreme Court of Canada, that the question on separation must be "clear" to those voting on it.

Particularly so when compared to the question posed to Quebecers in the 1995 Quebec referendum on separation. It read: "Do you agree that Quebec should become sovereign, after having made a formal offer to Canada for a new economic and political partnership, within the scope of the Bill respecting the future of Quebec and of the agreement signed on 12 June 1995?"

The values that most Albertans hold dear come from what we might call "Old Canada." These are the values of hard work, looking out for one another, and making sure everyone has a chance to succeed. Before the 1970s, Canada was known for its strong social safety net, including unemployment insurance, healthcare, and pensions (Telford, 2014). These are the values that built strong families and strong communities.

Today, some people confuse "Canadian" values with the values of central Canada, especially during the Trudeau era, and now visibly in Mark Carney's reign too. These "Pro-Ottawa" values often focus on global issues, open borders, and big government spending, sometimes at the expense of local needs. But prairie folks know that the future of family depends on keeping our traditions alive, supporting our neighbours, and making sure our children have the same opportunities we did.

Prairie folks believe in freedom. The freedom to work hard, to build a business, to raise a family, and to make our own choices. This is what we mean by freedom evolution. It's about opportunity, prosperity, and independence. It's about not being told what to do by people who don't understand our way of life.

Some people say that if you stand up for Alberta and Saskatchewan, you are a "traitor to Canada." But that's not true. Standing up for the prairies means standing up for the values that made Canada great in the first place. It means protecting our way of life, our families, and our future.

In Alberta, crime dropped nine percent last year.

Alberta is backing their police and sheriffs. They are shutting down drug houses, targeting gangs, putting more officers on the streets, and making sure law enforcement has the tools, resources, and support they need to keep communities safe.

It is working. Families are safer because Alberta is doing its part.

But Ottawa is undoing that progress. Their broken bail system puts violent repeat offenders right back in your neighbourhood. Criminals who should be behind bars are walking free to reoffend. Families pay the price while the federal government looks the other way.

Any leftist enclave that hands out poo maps at tourist centers is somewhere I tend to limit my time to the barest minimum where possible and Scat Fagcrisco is famously one of those places, thanks to the human excrement that keeps voting for more of that turd utopia.

Still is.

Jo Jo remember what I told you after you blew me last night about apples to oranges comparisons.

The American unemployment rate is 4.2 percent. Canada on the other hand has an unemployment rate of 6.9 percent.

America has a GDP per capita of $89,000 per year. Canada's GDP per capita stands at a paltry $53,000 per annum.

America's growth stood at three percent in that last quarter. By contrast Canada's GDP has been stagnant for years.

Honeybunch, I understand you don't work. You are not a participant in the economy so you have no clue that the US job market offers opportunities that Canada has not had for over a decade. This is why more than 100,000 thousand skilled Canadian workers leave Canada for America every year.

The city of Montreal fined a church $2,500 for hosting Christian worship (many other cities have pulled permits last minute too).
Atlantic Canada banned citizens from hiking and fishing (even on their own property).

BC courts handed hundreds of acres of private property because of a First Nations land claim.

This isn't Canada anymore. It's a place where you can't worship freely, access public lands, or even count on owning your home.

An independent Alberta and Saskatchewan would constitutionally protect these fundamental rights, placing them beyond the reach of activist courts, power-hungry bureaucrats, and a Canadian public that seems to enjoy their chains.

First, it is the rest of Canada that would be swallowed up by the United States. Canada needs Alberta and Saskatchewan not the other way around.

Secondly, America no longer fights other countries wars. Elect a Democrat or a Romney Republican if you want endless wars.

Joe's boyfriend Thiel is right that Canada cannot survive losing Alberta.

Conrad Black says Alberta leaving Confederation would be 'the end of Canada'
QuoteSpeaking about the state of the nation, Black said Canada was once highly successful but has suffered over the last decade from a net outflow of capital.

"In the last ten years, we've had net capital outflows of over $300 billion," he said.

"Capital generated in Canada is leaving, outpacing what is being invested here. We have slipped several places in per capita income.

"If [Carney] proceeds with any significant part of his green agenda, it will be an escalation of the war against Alberta's oil and gas industry. If he does that, Alberta would negotiate with the Americans in some special territory, and the Americans would accept Alberta on any basis you want.

"That would be the end of Canada."

Jo Jo Sweetie, you are not making sense and you are telling it to people who do not read what you write.

It's a tad presumptuous to say the Canadian health care system saved someone's life. Whatever procedure a person may have received in Canada they could have had in America or Europe without the wait. I have much better health care here compared to when I lived in Manitoba. I can see a doctor within a day or two and if I need something done it happens expeditiously. We don't have people dying waiting for care like in Canada.

Pussycat, remember I explained to you after you performed oral sex on me last night that Canadians have the highest personal debt among wealthy nations. Much higher than Americans. Canadians are getting wiped out all the time just keeping their heads above.

The biggest driver of Alberta independence isn't Danielle Smith, the APP, or any movement leader.
It's Mark Carney.

Every time Albertans see his failed policies, deceit, and globalist agenda, more realize our only path to prosperity is independence.
Carney is more dangerous than Trudeau, cold, calculated, and relentless in pushing a socialist system that strips away freedom and prosperity.
He cloaks ruinous carbon taxes as "clean fuel regulations" and sells out Canada with projects designed never to be built.

But here's the truth: his rise is our opportunity. The more Albertans are exposed to Carney, the faster our people awaken to reality.
And with independence, Alberta will secure:
- End Ottawa's carbon taxes and reckless spending that drive the cost-of-living crisis
- Become one of the wealthiest nations on earth with the highest GDP per capita
- Protect freedom with a constitution built for Albertans, not Ottawa's elites
- End mass immigration and preserve Alberta's culture and way of life
- Build prosperity and opportunity for future generations far beyond anything Canada can offer
Mark Carney may be Ottawa's greatest weapon.
But he will be remembered as the spark that ignited Alberta's independence.
