The PURPOSE of the Party, if elected, will be to provide a "CHOICE" to all the residents and voters of BC to begin the diplomatic negotiations to become the 51st State of The United States of America.

I spent sometime in Alberta hunting and fishing. They really are against gun control, etc. What is your advice to us on the Alberta joining the USA?

The Atlantic provinces do elect some of those, but that's not "Conservative" by our definition, they'd be uber-RINOs. Only Alberta is the safe bet for letting into the US, even Saskatchewan and Manitoba are iffy (and as pointed out, BC would only work if you cut the Vancouver region out). The Atlantics, IIRC, are often heavily subsidized, with Newfoundland being the absolute worst. NS would be the best of the lot, but that's not saying much (plus I doubt they would like the fact that if they were admitted as a state, they'd only get 1 Congressmember, as they have the exact same population as Montana).

LOL. I wondered if that might be the case.

Thanks for the inside scoop.

Maybe a positive planck in party platform:

"There will no longer be a need to waste millions of business and tax dollars on the labeling and printing of French on everything manufactured and imported into BC. Compulsory French language education in our BC schools will be eliminated. "

How 'bout that?

I was stationed at Whidbey Island, Washington in the '80s. Vancouver is thought of as the MORE LIBERAL version of Seattle.

How right you are 3M. Not only do people not understand the process, they don't even see it coming.

DOn't forget Alberta.



http://www.separationalberta.com/

A better question would be “Why stay?”

For almost 100 years, Alberta and the West have been trying to become real members of Canada and true, equal partners in Confederation. These efforts have proved fruitless. It is time to move forward and protect Alberta’s future. It is time to stop the financial and emotional drain caused by an incompetent, unresponsive political and bureaucratic nightmare called “Ottawa”.


Economic Cost of Federation for Alberta, 1961 – Present

Alberta has, on a per capita basis, been Ottawa’s largest single contributor. For example, between 1961 and 1992, Alberta paid $139 billion more to Ottawa than it received back from Ottawa. That is what it cost Albertans to be Canadian. *

And where did the money go? During that time frame, the province of Quebec, despite its large population and vibrant economy, was a net recipient of over $ 168 billion from Ottawa. Alberta was paying Quebec to be Canadian. *

And those 2 Senators would probably be more like Lincoln Chafee rather than Rick Santorum.

Maybe we can accept everyone except the land within 30 miles of Vancouver.

Your proposal is very fair, and also ensures a perpetual GOP Congress. The District of Keewatin alone ought to mean a couple more solid Conservative Senators, representing about 15 people and a million caribou. Any idea of the political leanings of Baffin Island? This could really work out well.
