Get him back on his shins.

We prairie folks will be so much better off after we ditch that canonball attached to our legs called Canada.

Even if you choose to become an independent state, seek economic union with the US. Use their currency.

Agreed. But do seek the necessary step of gaining your independence first. It strengthens your case immeasurably when you prove your mettle first and makes you an even more attractive prospect when all the US has to do is negotiate with you and you alone before inking a contract.

I am not from the West. But, I know the threat of Canada breaking up is real and will grow in the Liberals fourth term.

But, from reading Herman's posts independence first is a must.

As long as people recognise the sense in it. I only bring it up because earlier on I got the impression from speaking to you that you regarded it as a "one or the other" proposition, not a necessary precursor. Or indeed a preferable alternative to what you currently have if that's as far as you ever got with secession.

Either way... "good luck". I mean that Herman, it's not an easy fight, but it IS a worthwhile one.

I hope it never comes to that. If it does come to Alberta and Saskatchewan having reached the magical fifty percent plus one in a referendum, that is when will get really ugly as the feds interpret the Clarity Act for the own advantage.
