Couldn’t happen to a more evil and dumb jerk, Justin Trudeau, and his dumb left wing voters.
This would be great.
We would welcome a few more conservative Senators, Representatives and GOP electoral votes.
Ping.
Can’t believe that clown got reelected!
We should offer them statehood, bigly!
Or we could offer them a trade: New England for Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
1. I don't see western Canada ever joining the U.S. As bad as things may seem up there, they'd be a hell of a lot worse for them if they were U.S. states. Would you rather have Justin Trudeau or Nancy Pelosi calling the shots in your national legislature? Ottawa is a den of dopey misfits compared to the totalitarianism that pervades in Washington, D.C.
2. Independence for western Canada seems more realistic, but I don't see that ever happening if the regions seceding from Canada are landlocked.
IIRC, Obama endorsed Trudeau. I just wonder if Obama also exported young Leftists to help with ballot harvesting to boost Trudeau? Just asking.
Please.
Canadians have no balls. Not in Quebec. Not in the West.
Time for a Bear Claw and some Poutine. Honey? We’re out of bagged milk.
I used to have a positive view of Canadians, because my exposure to them had been only with Albertans, primarily from Calgary. Great, friendly people and wonderful to work with.
A few years ago I started having to work with Ontarois and Quebecers. What a bunch of sarcastic, back-stabbing, self-absorbed sphincters, each and every one of them, but especially the ones from Toronto.
They’ve made me so mad over the years I can’t listen to The Guess Who, Gordon Lightfoot, Rush, or BTO anymore. As soon as they come on the radio I see all those d-bags in my head and I have to hit “Next”.
A Trudeau spokesperson said the government is considering ways to incorporate western perspectives into the incoming government.
—
Yeah, right. Kind of like here in the US, pencil-neck incorporating any dissent into his star chamber trials.
pffft, as an ex-canadian, I was part of the western separatist movement in BC. That movement will never die among Albertans and upper and northern BC canucks..
The people I met last summer from Alberta to the west, think their govepis full of commies. Their votes are outnumbered by the commies in Montreal.
Cool. Hope it happens.
It seems like Canada's Conservatives are in the position that America's Democrats were in during the the 20th century. The Democrats had a better chance of winning if they nominated a Southerner, but they really didn't want to nominate a Southerner. Canada's Conservatives have a better chance of winning if they nominate somebody from the eastern half of the country, but they don't really want to do that.
Harper was the exception that proves the rule. He was able to get elected as a Westerner, but he was so unpopular in other parts of the country that they voted for the first available high school drama teacher in order to get rid of him. If his party finds somebody who is competent and from Ontario to run next time, they could win.
Canada splitting up is probably more likely than another American Civil War. If it happens, though, we may end up stuck with poor, dependent Atlantic Canada, rather than the well-off West. It would be an interesting test case for what would happen if the US broke up, as some people seem to think it should. Hopefully, we won't break up before they do.
Oil dependent ???
Funny, I always thought that Western Canada were oil producers.
“Citizens in the Western provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan”
I’m sure Vancouver is included in this.
Well Canada does have regional problems but I think we over state this as West vs East. In BC it is Vancouver Island and downtown Vancouver against the rest of the province. Even Edmonton in Alberta and Winnipeg in Manitoba are left wing strong holds. It is really similar to the USA where it is rural and suburban vs the city. And the reason for the Liberal Party voter efficiency is similar to the Virginia effect. Liberals are moving out of the city into the suburbs - bleeding into the suburbs if you will and turning them into Liberal Party ridings.
